GodSpede (2026)
In San Francisco, hope is just another commodity waiting to be sold.
As two gangs fight a bloody war for control of the City and sex-trafficking for the entire West Coast, two men have to overcome their different world views and work together to save the city, the victims, and one man's soul.
Philanthropist Eli Tish has spent decades concealing his personal truth: he can move with supernatural speed. When a divine calling prompts him to seek out a man he has never met, Eli is led to find Jimmy Sampson- a volatile, half-Israeli drifter fueled by grief, revenge, and bursts of supernatural strength and near invulnerability.
Eli believes people can be saved. Jimmy believes the world deserves to burn.
As the rival gangs wage a savage war for control of a trafficking empire, children vanish, bodies pile up, and criminal syndicates tighten their grip on a city already drowning in addiction and despair.
Bound together by destiny, Eli and Jimmy are thrust into an alliance neither man expects. Eli fights for the City's redemption. Jimmy fights for revenge after the murder of his mother. To save San Francisco, they’ll have to survive each other first
Lore of the Purple Pan
(2024)
Dekkard has spent his entire life surviving. An orphan, a thief, and a nobody, he's never believed destiny had a place for someone like him. Every day is a struggle to stay fed, stay hidden, and stay alive.
Then Sister Odds arrives with an impossible revelation. Dekkard is not ordinary. He is the Purple Pan—one of six unique beings known as the Pan Punims, entities empowered by the Light of existence itself.
Sister Odds needs the Purple Pan. Dekkard doesn't want to be needed.
With reality hanging in the balance, Sister Odds must reunite the scattered Pan Punims before forces beyond comprehension exploit the darkness trying to encroach on the Panaiverse. But finding Green Pan won't be easy, and Dekkard submitting to his destiny may cost him the only life he's ever known.
Childlike (2022)
Dogs know fear has a scent. So does Zayn Bell.
And when someone is being assaulted, Zayn becomes something else.
Something massive. Something that doesn’t believe in mercy.
After the transformation exposes his horrifying secret, Zayn’s own father drops him at a covert facility where scientists carve apart his humanity in search of answers. But cages can’t hold Brute.
Now Zayn is on the run. From the government. From the law. Brute is relentless — a towering 6’6”, 260-pound adjudicator drawn toward the worst individuals in America. Child traffickers. Predators. Pedophiles caught in the act. Wherever evil hides, Brute follows. And when Brute finds them… there are no survivors.
Zayn is trapped inside every brutal moment, forced to witness the violence through the eyes of something that seems to be something else. He tries to reason with Brute. Begs for control, but just receives silence. As the casualties pile up, Zayn must confront the question haunting every mile of his escape. If the Brute only kills monsters… what does that make him?
Childlike is a relentless descent into trauma, morality, and the thin line between protector and predator.
