Hey, I Also Write Books!

Just A Reminder of Me Work...

Hi folks!

Just a quick housekeeping note: In addition to screenplays and poetry, I write novels. I have five running around in the wilderness and a sixth on the way next month.

I have to remind myself to promote my novels, so this is an obligatory promotion post!

A quick trailer:

Let’s go down the list, shall we?

Jacob Kind is your friend. He is your helper. Jacob is a synthetic Companion, created specifically to be whatever his Primary, his owner, wishes him to be. He isn't allowed to harm humans and, in fact, is devoted to humanity and art.

Right up until Jacob interrupts a masked man murdering his adoring owner Sylvia in their home, and is blamed for the vicious crime. The police believe he's the culprit. Companion company executives want him returned for reprogramming to prevent a PR nightmare, but Jacob only wishes to bring Sylvia's killer to justice. Which he is going to have to do on his own.

So now Jacob is on the run.

After her killer and toward justice, with but one guiding light his mother left for him.

Serve and protect humanity, at all costs.

The novel is available here: SOME ANIMALS

Synthetic Companion Jacob Kind is on the run from the police and searching for Munson Tolliver, the man who murdered his adopted mother, Sylvia. Tolliver was an infamous serial killer who fascinated the nation... and who was supposed to be dead at the time of Sylvia's death. Clearly, he is not dead. Nor does anyone believe Jacob that Tolliver is still alive.

As a result, Jacob heads to the site of Munson's first public killing to search for clues in Tolliver's past that will help Jacob locate him.

Jacob also has to learn how to pass as human, which gives him a unique insight into humanity, especially once Jacob finds himself embroiled in a very public, very violent protest against the use of synthetics, one that has pitted the city against itself.

Against his will, Jacob is drawn to a pair of women, Claire, an advocate for synthetic rights, and Companion-hating Candis, a desperate woman working the streets to provide for her young daughter, Bethany.

It leads to a brutal confrontation that threatens to change Jacob forever.

Jacob Kind, a synthetic Companion on the run from the police and the corporation that created him, is determined to find the man who murdered his adopted mother, Sylvia. He finds himself in New York City on the search for a woman named Strawberry Fields. He falls in with a group of orphaned synthetics, like himself, who live underground and make their living entertaining tourists in Central Park.

They face uncertainty, however, as the city government preps to sweep up all undocumented synthetics in the city proper and make plans to escape the city and run to Canada, a safe haven for synthetic people such as them.

Jacob uncovers a lead that will bring him to the man Sylvia named as the key to freeing Companions, a certain Larkin Finn, but before he can act on that, the detective in pursuit of him, Abigail Moore, shows up.

As does serial killer Munson Tolliver.

Jacob finds himself faced with a choice... abandon his newfound family to pursue Munson or help them escape as the city of New York prepares to gather up all undocumented synthetics.

The choice he makes will ultimately define who and what he is.

While on the run from the authorities, Jacob Kind finds himself a prisoner on a farm that trains synthetic Companions such as himself to fight in a box for the entertainment of others, a new kind of rural gladiator.

Forced to kill his own kind in a hole in the ground, Jacob turns into a rebel leader of his fellow slaves and realizes his kind will never be free unless he can teach them to do what he somehow learned... how to fight back and use the violence against humans.

Needing the cash, he takes the money from the mining CEO and goes to warn the intended victim, a Native environmentalist named Raven Running Wolf, only to fall in love with her. Vowing to protect her, Jacob engages in a cat-and-mouse game as he plays both sides off of each other, the mining company and its gang of killers, and Raven's team of violent environmental terrorists.
