SINCE TOMORROW
An old man rides a workhorse through the night, across mudslides, past stores abandoned for decades, past the rotted corpses of automobiles invisible under mounds of blackberry. Rain courses from his rabbit skin poncho. He carries a sword and a spear. He knows where to find the murderer. He will face him alone.
SINCE TOMORROW is a novel of a world in the remaking. The old man, Frost, remembers the "Good Times". Those who live on his farm among collapsed warehouses and the foundations of vanished houses struggle to maintain human values. But when others in this makeshift world are driven only by greed and the need for power, all values must ultimately be replaced by the simple instinct for survival.

BIRDS OF PASSAGE
BIRDS OF PASSAGE is set twenty years after the events of SINCE TOMORROW, Volume 1 of The Raincoast Trilogy. Frost’s farm, the setting of that novel, is in severe decline. If a better site for the farm is not found, the few remaining residents will soon be wiped out by the diseases ravaging the denizens of nearby Town.
Frost’s great-grandson, Fraser, heads into the coastal mountains of British Columbia with a few friends, hoping to find a new site for the farm. As Fraser and his companions struggle through apocalyptic landscapes natural and man-made they are followed by Fraser’s father Blaine, alcoholic, syphilitic, deranged, but determined in his delusional way to protect his son.

MEDICINE
It is sixty years since a catastrophic global collapse and pandemic plunged the world into a new Dark Age, which is becoming progressively darker. In this setting violent conflict is inevitable. But Fraser, a huge man with a huge heart, is troubled by the violence of his recent past. Nevertheless, conflict becomes inevitable when he realizes that that his mother’s mind is deteriorating due to syphilis contracted from her late husband. Without medication to halt the progress of the disease, total insanity is inevitable. But does medicine even exist any more?
Into the post-apocalyptic ruins of “Town”, past office towers deserted for decades, through forested streets ravaged by earthquake and reeking of death this giant of a man ventures in search of medicine for his mother.
Waiting for Fraser in the heart of Town is a certain underground shopping mall, once a glittering commercial hub but now a shabby and makeshift dystopia where cannibalism is the norm and where prisoners fight to the death to entertain Cultus, their pitiless master.
Hidden somewhere in the depths of this lightless realm is the medicine that Fraser so desperately seeks but which Cultus guards with equal fervour and with immense power.
The odds are staggering, the dangers overwhelming, but a stubborn and perhaps fatal determination drives Fraser ever deeper into the very mouth of danger.
In the shocking climax, when Fraser finally understands the horrific cost of his resolve, it is too late to do anything but forge ahead, no matter the consequences.

EL DORADO SHUFFLE
Here is Mac McKnight, the narrator and main character of EL DORADO SHUFFLE:
I would get off the bus in disreputable barrios, places adorned with the names of saints and the odour of urine, and wander into tiny dark bars, saying “All right, you pack of degenerates - I am buying!”
- Poor Mac! Wracked by guilt, driven by reckless courage, counseled by alcohol.
“I can forgive you, Mac.”
“Forgive!” She stepped back as I spun to face her. “Damn you! Don’t you ever try to forgive me! Don’t you ever try it! I won’t be accused, and I won’t be forgiven! Not by the likes of you and not by the likes of anyone!”
She was crying finally. And I was glad to see that her bullshit composure was gone, and her bullshit accusing and her bullshit forgiving and her bullshit about love.
- Making all the wrong choices. Leaving a trail of emotional carnage.
“Señor McKnight” he said “of course I know that your son is a drug addict. It was not hard to find out. But this is so bad - that you are wanting murder the president.” He dropped his glass and reached around and grasped the knife sheath and slid the knife out. It had a six inch blade
- Assailing the evil-doers even if it means tearing down his own world. Mac came to the city of Esperanza in the high Andes hoping to find an El Dorado of the spirit. He leaves it on the run. In the process does he abandon his only hope for peace?

MR. MILLENNIUM
“Sex with fervent strangers, however, still seemed novel, so Gabor continued to review the troops outside the fence. There was Maria Rosário of Ponte de Lima; Catarina, who had lush lips and lost eyes; Joana; Mariana; Felisberta; Fátima, who walked on her knees and with hands clasped in prayer into his bedroom; Dulce from Guimarães; Katja from a far land, who in the light of the street lamp had stuck out her tongue, and through the tip of it there was fixed a tiny silver crucifix. Ângela was let through the gate, and Marta, and Raquel and her mother Celestina, who wore bifocals, and Susana from Angola, who was tall and strong and had breath like cinnamon.”
Gabor Esterhazy is Mr. MILLENNIUM, a bright, young but troubled manual laborer who is taken under the very shady wing of a secret society. Their claim: that he is descended from Jesus Christ by way of Hungarian aristocracy. Surely the resulting fame, power, money and adulation will bring him the peace he needs? Or will he find, too late, that he is merely a puppet, placed on a false throne to satisfy the insidious aims of those who claim to care for him?
Follow Gabor Esterhazy as he goes determinedly off the rails, and his journey toward happiness becomes a dark and comic shambles of lust, deceit and mortal danger.
