The Monster Factory
ISBN-13: 978-1490415192
What Will-Fred, 11, not the coolest kid in school, lacks in size or status, he makes up for with outlandish dreams and loopy expectations. When his family moves to 'Perfect Town', hope renews eternal he will make fast buddies among the school's uber-cool. Yet, with self-involved parents, ignoring him at best, and a spoiled baby brother Danno, Will-Fred sadly relies on Comic Superheroes for friendship, even guidance, until the fateful day he and wheezy overprotected Elmo stumble on a horrific Monster in a derelict Factory at the far edge of town. For over a century, SlugThing, ripening and insatiably feeding on ecological sludge from The Factory’s many metamorphosis, still lacks self-awareness, until it fixates on young Danno, Will-Fred's three year-old brother.
Stalking the boys home, SlugThing as they called the indescribable Mass, forms a new colony in Will-Fred and Danno’s basement. Will-Fred fears not only Danno, but the entire town is doomed. When they try to warn them, everyone laughs. Only an odd bum - a Viet Nam vet with nightmares of his own, takes them seriously. It is down to Will-Fred and Elmo to concoct an 'equalizer' to destroy the Monster. The plan backfires with horrendous results and the boys learn their enemy is much, much closer, and more chilling than Will-Fred’s worst nightmares....

Absolute Power Corrupts - Absolute Femin Power Corrupts Absolutely, creating a world without men save a select breeding stock - if they are lucky.
R.I.P.s, or Reticulating Plague Syndrome, blazed like a comet with a 100 % death rate throughout the female population. Females, enraged, terrified, blaming male domination and ecological pollution simultaneously, as if infected with the same bloodthirsty dementia annihilates the male of the species in a savage world-wide bloodbath.Naturally quarantined female institutions: nunneries, women armies, lesbian societies, were somewhat protected and it is from these early guerilla fighters, feminine world domination grew strange and exotic new fruit, where men are kept at best, as dumb pets, dom-males or as living genetic DNA banks.
It is now the 23rd Century. Vast patches of the globe are putrid Hot Zones festering with the old plague or mutations of new virulent strains. Fringes of California and other cloistered spots are inhabited by this powerful, thoroughly feminized society down to language itself, grown as corrupt as their old male dominators.We follow Rue, a femlin eager for Grand Femunalis, a ritual coinciding with a femlin's first moontides and who has a disturbing, secret perverted lust for the opposite sex, and one of the First of the Forbiddens.And, there is 901, the strikingly handsome yet complacent male who knows his place, reduced to dumb laborer with only rudimentary work-related writing skills. Kept in vast dens, 901 shines in the fertilization ritual, yet… most males are humble beasts of burden. The best males hope for is the status of pet or dom-males and rarely named.... This is the tale of the females who inhabited this world and the males they came to love...
Sary's Gold
Published by The Wild Rose Press
​
A young widow changes into a ruthless, determined gold miner just to stay alive, win, and win big, while battling a vicious mountain outpost and one obsessed man unsure if he wants her alive - or dead.
COMMENTS on the script version: "Sary and company are some unique, tough folks. I was intrigued by the complexity and consistency of the dialog and sense of place, much like Deadwood on HBO. The plot moves swiftly from scene to scene bringing fresh characters, language and oddities at every turn. This is a brilliant, thoughtful work and deserves to be seen. The action paragraphs are as colorful as the script, so there is no disconnect. Every line is in the archaic language of the era,or close enough. I'm supposed to find weaknesses… but any weaknesses in this script, are strengths. It's simply too good to pick apart at this point. Ahhh, there's much more. This is written is the language of the day… the language takes on a character of its own…."
