Imagine My Surprise! is coming out on April 7, 2026 by Heresy Press / Skyhorse in hardback.
A drug kingpin is murdered by his henchmen. Imagine his surprise when he is reincarnated, fully-conscious, into a newborn boy. Revenge has to wait while he's raised by two hapless millennials in the suburbs. A black comedy-meets-crime story wrapped in sardonic magical realism. Have fun!
In 1994, St. Martin's Press published my novel, The Patricidal Bedside Companion, on the wave of Gen-X Literature that was sweeping the nation.

Sister Cell. A client hired me to write and produce this graphic novel about a secret society of vigilante warrior nuns. Fun stuff!
