“Charming, delightful, and endless fun” (BlueInk)

Wodehouse, creating a world in which food, music, friendship, and love are connected in surprising ways.

From the Lighthouse

From the Lighthouse

Knot doesn’t remember how they came to live with Bigman, nor whether their name is actually Knot. Bigman calls, and Knot answers. Not a boy. Not a girl. Not getting any bigger over the past twenty years.

John Bigman makes enough money selling good weather to those who believe his claims of magic to keep the bank from taking the unfinished lighthouse where he lives in an uneasy truce with Knot. Bigman still bleeds where Knot bit him years ago, and they still sometimes try to stab him during arguments.

Most of the time, the two get along. Knot watches tv in their room. Bigman plays video games in his library. They go fishing, with Knot catching most of the fish and Bigman dozing among the mangroves that have infested their beach.

But Bigman is getting old. His control over Knot has been slipping. His strength was barely enough to foil Knot’s last attempt at running away. That was before Knot found allies, who have their own reasons for wanting Knot to escape from the lighthouse.

Paradise Awakens: A New Garden of Eden Blooms

A new serpent lurks in the Garden…

Though Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden generations ago, the children they created prior to their expulsion remained and multiplied. On the surface, it’s an ideal society centered around abundance and equality, but something—or someone—sinister is lurking in the Garden.

Eliana, a citizen of the Garden, senses this presence among them, but only her beloved Abram will listen. “Evil can’t exist in paradise,” explain the elders; except that it did once when Eve walked the tree-lined paths of the Garden. But that was a long time ago.

After being repeatedly silenced by the elders, a serpentine creature takes Eliana down a path walked only by two Eden citizens before her. Now she must navigate a place far different from the land of her birth. Her relationship with God is broken.

Will Eliana find a way back to her beloved Garden (and to the God she thinks abandoned her), or is she stuck in this new land forever? Free on Kindle.
