THE LAST underground
Literary Sci-fi | Upmarket fiction
The Last Underground takes a fresh look at extraterrestrial first contact. It’s time to evolve beyond who we think we are.
The research for this novel has been immense: 70+ books, a pantheon of forbidden history and abduction regression transcripts.
The Last Underground gets under the hood of zeitgeist taboos like the alien abduction phenomenon, Pre-Sumerian ancient civilizations, and our reluctance to accept that we’re not alone.

THE HOUSE MADE OF WHEELS
Literary Fantasy | Upmarket fiction
Jungle Book meets Heart of Darkness
EXCERPT
When the House is stolen, Mundi must finally face the world.
The House Made of Wheels explores the shadowy layers of nonbinary identity – a young traveler finding its place in a messed up world. Mundi’s imaginary friend Whatíf, a painting of a hermaphrodite, wants to take over the story. In the hunt for the House, Mundi finds a new tale to tell, and a new way to be. (Mundi is an ‘it’ and so am I.)
The surreal locales of The House Made of Wheels tell of a world at the edge of destruction by those who don’t love it enough - and at the center, someone lost enough to find a way to save it.
I lived on Greyhound buses for a year writing my first novel, sleeping in stations, dive motels, canyons and caves. Written on folded, numbered pieces of paper with a pencil.
