Sin and Zen
Summary
Seductive soldier and shameless alcoholic, Will Strief was made to be broken and transcendental. After spending his entire adult life in the military jumping out of planes and living a hero's life, Strief is left in the gutter of civilian life in Marseille, France, after a devastating injury in the French Foreign Legion. Now, at 23, he is reveling in his suddenly liberating rock-star life: hilarious drug experiences, vicious drinking, and a delirious sex life that would put any lesser man in the ground. With all of Stribling's real-life experience, the story is as bona fide as it is uncovering. Said to be a must-listen for women to understand the mind of man. Stribling writes a psychological fiction that delves into the restless mind of a young adult trying to understand himself and the world. It is dirty realism, dark humor, and deep philosophy in this relentless tale of life on the edge.

Butterfly (A Short Story)
Summary
"Would I love you if I knew you? Would I have left you sticky notes of love on the fridge before you left for work? Maybe you would have loved me too. Perhaps you would have passed your hand tenderly through my hair, to put it back behind my ear or to untangle it tenderly by hurting me a little. I would have endured the pain without a knot because it would have been done with love." Butterfly is a raw and powerful short story about a suicidal young woman that reveals the mind of a woman as she contemplates the life of being a prostitute while reflecting on her childhood and her place in the Universe.

Anger and Hope
Summary
When it comes to family, is love enough? When Will returns to America after years overseas, he comes with high hopes of reconnecting with his younger brother. Will isn’t easy to love, though. He’s a disgruntled veteran and a struggling depressive. As such, he soon finds himself misunderstood and homeless, trying desperately to claw his way back into life while tackling the issues within himself. Now, with little reason to live beyond his faithful companion Maverick, Will must face his past to find peace with his family and himself. War was easy, it’s the battle with himself and what he used to believe in that he must now overcome. Anger and Hope is the second book in the Sin and Zen series. It is the Philia love to S&Z’s Eros love, and it deeply explores the ideas of shame, pride, anger, hope, and what home truly means.
