Here’s something from my new book Jesus Kid. It’s on preorder now and goes live on December 6, 2017!

Thirty years ago, an asteroid stuck the Earth. Now killer plants hunt the last surviving humans.

Ori Scott is a young junkie running from his mother’s prophecy that he’d one day save the world from the killer plants. Her preaching made him a laughingstock and now he hides in his drugs. But he can’t hide the change in his veins. They are turning green, and the prophecy is dragging him into a dark struggle between invisible forces. Set up on bogus drug charges, Ori is taken to a secret facility where he becomes a test subject in experiments to discover an antidote to the alien plant’s sting.

Jack Doll is a cop with a vendetta against the plants that killed his best friend. All he has in the world now is his old friend’s lover, Rive. Together they form an unbreakable bond—or so he thought. Jack has never liked Rive’s friend, Ori, but he believes in Ori’s innocence and doesn’t understand Rive’s strange indifference to Ori’s conviction. Struggling with his suspicions, Jack can’t help digging into a mystery that draws him closer to Ori than ever before—and closer to somebody who has secrets to hide.

Alone and scared, Ori is grateful for Jack Doll’s friendship, and his longtime crush soon blossoms into love. But Ori has no plans to accept his fate. He wants to escape, and he doesn’t care if he takes the cure with him.

SNIPPET (from the first chapter THE ROBBERY):

The robber swung the gun back in his face. Jack didn’t blink this time. It was going to happen. He expected to die. He didn’t want to, and not like this, but it was going to happen. Killed in a riot. Knifed or stomped on or brained with a pipe. He was a cop, and he expected to die.

But not in a bank robbery.

Wanna Look into My Bag of Tricks?

How do you write a good book? I’m sure there’s a trick. There’s certainly no dearth of how-to-write and how-to-get-published books out there. A lot of people buy those books. I buy them. I’m reading Techniques of the Selling Writer by Dwight V. Swain right now, but I’m pretty sure there are no tricks in … Read more

My Post-Apocalyptic Heaven

To me, one of the beauties of dystopian and apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic stories is in the ability to point a finger at a concept or idea rather than at a specific individual or institution. The concept or idea targeted for the story and finger-pointing is usually culturally entrenched and/or imposed on us now, in our … Read more
