The End of Marvelous

A mostly impossible Tale of Woe and Redemption

Nathan Marvelous was never the same, and public sentiment toward the celebrity has only declined, ever since he quit boxing in a huff. Years later, the reclusive star has been all but forgotten—when a meteor is discovered and projected to impact the Earth.

Despite a seeming lack of qualification, Nathan is tapped by a local politician that punches well above his weight, and the prizefighter is tasked with saving Southern Europe (and Northern Africa).

But as the assignment goes forward, secrets come to light, and an old enemy creeps from the shadows intent on destroying anything and everything Nathan holds dear…

At time poignant, at times zany—and always with another twist approaching—The End of Marvelous explores what it is to be human, or nearly so.

Metal

A ROCK ‘N ROLL STORY OF A SORDID OBSESSION And COld Hard Cash

Sophie saw her opportunity. She stood, charged across the room, and sat herself on Gabriel’s lap—before he could pick some other lucky contestant. She licked the side of his face and whispered in his ear. “I don’t mind a little choking. It’s nothing worse than I got at the ol’ foster home,” she grinned. “Still, I’d rather talk music.”

You know what I want,” Gabriel leaned in close, a dirt smirk on his face. “I want to murder you and get away with it,” he winked.

Sophie snorted. She didn’t believe it. She knew a lot of jokers, all-bark no-bite, prodding at their limits. Gabriel wasn’t really the wrong kind of guy. Sophie knew the wrong type—truly vicious and reprehensible. This strutting cock was just edgy. With a chuckle of her own, Sophie leaned in.

“You know what I want,” she rubbed up against him. “I want a hundred thousand dollars and six months to spend it,” she smirked, satisfied with his jovial answer…

The Story of Number

Where Belief and knowledge meet for Tea

This book is an exploration of various philosophical and religious themes set in a numerical framework. This book is a poetic examination of language, religion, magic, and the occult that aims to prove you are at the center of everything (in a manner of speaking). What sort of proof, you might ask? The kind provided by basic math! At 64 pages, it is a quick read—though I recommend reading it slowly, playing with the numbers, and even skipping around.
