Fiction Stuff


My currently available fiction titles are:

A Clockwork Orchard: Rivets & Rain
(I contributed the story "Never Mind The Nonsense, Here’s The Sex Truncheons") 

Step inside the laboratory... Alternate realities where science and technology come alive has been the trademark of the genre known as steampunk. Tales of mechanical creatures and skies filled with airships sweep you up and take the reader to worlds that are just a bit different from our own...yet, somehow they seem strangely familiar. Steampunk is more than clockwork creatures and mad scientists. It is an elegant tale told with a deft touch by some of the most creative minds in fiction. Suspend your boundaries of belief and enter: A Clockwork Orchard.

Haunting Valley
(written in cahoots with my good friend Bill Devol)

Way back before Al Gore invented the Internet, there was something called the Usenet, which was a kind of electronic bulletin board and information-swapping forum. There were thousands of newsgroups. Bill and I, co-workers at a certain local space agency, enjoyed alt.ghost-stories. There, we learned of a writer named Chris Woodyard, who wrote a series of Haunted Ohio books.

Woodyard’s multi-part series inspired us to try our hands at creating a specter collection, focusing on the Chagrin Valley. So gather some friends, turn down the lights, try to scare the crap out of each other, and enjoy the stories shared here.

Dear Diary: Confessions Of The Shovel Man
(written under the nom de plume of Ted Blunt)

Boy! What a year it has been. I decided to move to New York City to learn about life outside of my sheltered existence, and perhaps to find myself in the process. I'm not sure if I found life, but it sure seemed to find me. In the first month alone, I witnessed a mugging in Central Park, starred in a music video, thwarted my own mugging (becoming a hero in the process), and dated a spy. And then things got weird. New friends from the present and acquaintances from the past zoomed in and out of my life in a seemingly random fashion. However, what goes up must come down, and in the end, it all seemed to make sense.

I hope you enjoy it.
