A collection of four critically acclaimed short novels.

Box of Bones - Jim is an American expat teaching English in the Philippines. After a night out with his girlfriend in one of the country’s remote provinces, he wakes to find himself in a pitch-black coffin–and quickly running out of oxygen. With only his cell phone and his own wits to rely on, it’s a race against time to escape the claustrophobic death trap.

Six Bullets - The end of civilization arrived in the form of a giant asteroid thirteen months ago. For Burt James, a survivalist, it was not a complete surprise. He’d spent much of his adult life prepping for such a catastrophe. Consequently, while the majority of the population scoured the post-apocalyptic landscape for water and food, regressing into primitive killers, he bunkered down in his fortified hilltop home in a small town in the middle of the Australian Outback. But now he’s out of food and down to his last six bullets, and he will have to make the most difficult choice of his life.

The Mailman - Los Angeles, 1985. Never was the motto sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll more apt than the scene on the legendary Sunset Strip with the arrival of the underground Hollywood glam bands.

While Mick Freeman, a record executive with a major label, works tirelessly to sign five toxic rockers whom he believes might flip the entire music world on its head, his wife, Jade, spends her days bored and alone at home, struggling with a midlife crisis that threatens to topple their twenty-year marriage.

And then she meets the new mailman. Young and handsome, he sweeps her off her feet–straight into a nightmare the likes of which she could never have imagined.

Re-roll - In the near future, breathtakingly humanoid robots called Mechs are for sale, and they’re designed to fulfill whatever role you want: husband, wife, best friend, slave. Manufacturers allow new owners one free roll to randomly determine their Mech’s three leading characteristics. But as everybody knows, scoring your ideal traits is a crapshoot, though you can always re-roll–at a price.
