  At once hilarious and crazed, lyrical and absurd, hopeful and fantastical, Ridiculous and Ill-Advised drops us into the world of DIY 1990s, where drugged-out skateboarders, radicalized demolition derby gods and wild fairie artists grapple with the universal mysteries of love and economy, the possibility of success at making a living on their own terms. 
  Taking acid, writing garbage screenplays, skating pools, and playing in experimental noise bands. That was me before I met The Family. Then I was accidentally kidnapped from the parking lot of a rock concert after having sex in an ancient school bus with a strange beast. I'd been kidnapped, but also - I'd escaped. With no home base and no fixed point in space, we drifted from town to town and state to state, a rogue gang of 'curb painters' on a madcap ride down the backroads, to that world hiding out behind the strip malls where dumpsters are still full of magic and me, a young monster desperately trying to become just one thing: a filmmaker...

  Notes from Underground is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky, presented as the memoir of a bitter, isolated, and unnamed former civil servant, often called the "Underground Man". The book is divided into two parts: the first is a philosophical monologue critiquing society, rationalism, and humanity's irrational nature, while the second part recounts a series of humiliating and self-destructive interactions from his past. It is considered one of the first existentialist novels and explores themes of alienation, free will, and the psychological complexity of the human psyche.

  You’ve heard of the American Dream, but what about the American Nightmare? Tatanga Hōksheen: A Failed Attempt to Kill the Indian unfolds the gripping tale of an Assiniboine boy named Tatanga Hōksheen, born along the serene banks of Montana’s Milk River, only to be thrust into a soul-crushing institution designed to strip away his cultural identity. 
  At the tender age of 10, Tatanga Hōksheen’s idyllic life takes a dark turn. Ripped from his family and the world he knew, he’s forced into the Pierre Indian School in South Dakota— a government-established institution that aims to “kill the Indian, save the man.” With no word from home and subjected to unthinkable hardships, Tatanga Hōksheen navigates years of forced assimilation, physical abuse, and spiritual erosion. 
  But this is not just a story of despair. It’s a tale of resilience, a narrative of a young boy who battles against a system intending to dissolve his heritage, spirituality, and very self. Will Tatanga Hōksheen ever escape the shackles of Pierre Indian School? Can he rediscover the spirit he lost? Embark on this heartrending journey and witness one boy’s struggle to reclaim his identity and find a place in a world that has tried to erase him.

  My Cosmic Brain

  My story is about a man in his seventies, a pseudo scientist who has his brain removed from his skull and placed inside a lab aquarium - the 'Manaquarium' so that they can study his consciousness. (FYI - They removed Einstein's brain but only checked out his basic anatomy and found that he had way more glial cells than the rest of us - what a waste.)  In this case, they get a bit further down the road.  Our hero, Henry has made it his life's goal to learn more about the connections of the human soul to the rest of the vastness of space/time.  Freed from the constraints of all of his biological functions, his mind is able to go where no man has gone before.   
  So - in the Think Tank and connected to the Super Lepton Collider, the upgraded Webb and Hubble Telescopes and the Very Large Array, Hank is able to discern something that appears to be the 2nd Big Bang! If you thought the first Big Bang was all there is, you have a huge shock in store for yourself.  As it turns out, they're going on all over the place and sometimes, they even collide into one another and cause havoc over large sections of the universe. 
  This is also a love story that connects the reader to the meaning and purpose of Cosmic Consciousness but in a completely new way - it's Science.    
  All of this plays out against the background of our planet on fire and all life on Earth on the verge of extinction - even the oceans catch fire - (taken from actual recent headlines.) But cruising closer to the 2nd Big Bang with the aid of Jeff Bezos and his new Space company - everything works out in the end and all of human life becomes justified at last - but in a slightly different and higher context than the way we justify ourselves at the present..   
  I don't want to give away the ending. I'm hopeful that I've done Arthur C. Clarke and Kurt Vonnegut proud.

  Mysteria, a small fishing island located just off the coast of Oregon. Covered in dense forests, its isolation is exactly what award-winning author Cameron Drake is looking for. After an amicable divorce he moves to the island from England, in an attempt to reignite his writing career. However, Cameron's arrival begins with a strange encounter on a deserted road, and leads to a series of hauntings that force him to question his sanity and investigate its history.  
  As the community around him slowly vanishes, it appears Mysteria is not everything it seems. Aided by his loyal pet, Akando, an Alaskan malamute, Cameron descends into the strange world of the paranormal. Slowly, he begins to believe the hauntings are an attempt to warn of a fate that will befall the island and its remaining occupants. A quest of witchcraft, Ouija boards and contact with the dead awaits Cameron, but as he investigates deeper, the island's secret becomes clear.
