Notes from the Author

The Island Chronicles are good books. But as with wine and cheese, the author has improved his writing with age. The following books are available online by request. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

THE REVIVAL SERIES

Book 1 REVIVAL

Book 2 REVISION

Is it right or wrong to sell your soul to the Devil in order to do good? Nine-year-old Moses Lloyd Love sells his soul to the Devil in order to become a famous evangelist. The Revival Series explores the evolution of God as seen through the lens of magical realism. 

​

EXIT STAGE RIGHT

Fantasy Island meets Westworld when Amanda Van Ryan builds an island where clients design their own death by any means, intimate or spectacular, they choose. Taken out by a sniper on a black and white, film noir movie set. Mauled by a lion on a hunt. In a chariot race. At the end of a concert, alone in an empty theater. On stage as Hamlet. The possibilities are endless. As are the lives and reactions of those who come to watch, for reason both noble and prurient.   

 

THE BOYS

Cardamom Johnson, a heretofore only child, wakes up one morning as twins. Twins who do not agree on how to handle the bifurcation. How, why, and can it be undone? From Daddy's Love Commune, to the Grand Canyon, to Venice, to New Orleans, to a remote island in the Pacific Northwest, to a nunnery for former prostitutes, like Candide, Cardamom negotiates a hostile world in search of answers.
