F Is for Frank: An Alphabet Book for Grown-Ups!
Summary
Franks Wurst: The food of the future! Try one today! Many years have passed since Victor Frankenstein built his monster. The population has grown out of control. The food supply is getting low. Solution? Designer children. Parents surrender their children from birth so that new ones can be made from the best of the parts. Well, most of them. Some children grow up Normal. The N-Word. Lower class. Unable to land jobs. Mistakenly killed by cops over and over again. Franks franchises are popping up like weeds. With only one thing on the menu, hot dogs. The low-cost way to feed billions. And people love them. But when meat becomes scarce, a new item appears on the menu: Franks Wurst. It's not long before that’s all anyone eats. One night, Mr. Simonson, the Chairman of Franks, gets a crowbar to the skull. He knew the secret recipe that not even he was supposed to know. And the more time marches on, the weirder things get. And nobody’s questioning it. Except for one: A Normal named Maria Shelton who finds the whole thing disturbing. The world’s addiction to Franks Wurst, the murder, and now Normals are disappearing by the hundreds. She’ll figure out just what the hell is going on. Even if it’s the last thing she does. And the more she digs, the deeper the conspiracy runs. It just may be the last thing she does. Oh, Maria, what have you gotten yourself into? It’s Frankenstein meets Soylent Green. Mary Shelley meets Charlton Heston. A crazy tale that you’d come to expect only from this author. By the way, he can’t tell you what Franks Wurst is made of, but what he can say is it is not not people. Note: These audiobooks do not need to be listened in alphabetical order. Mix and match!

Three tales so awful, they'll make you want to wash your mind out with soap. "The best thing I've read since the Farmer's Almanac!" (Unreliable source) Snow White and the mini golf course?

Discarded
Summary
Magic has been franchised. Magical conveniences are sold everywhere like designer coffee. Everyday life is filled with technical and magical wonders. Only, the magic is murdering people. Thoth Corp's hot new spell is turning people into ravening monsters. Their only hope to quietly rectify the situation before the epidemic spreads is the spell architect they framed and sent to prison. El's response to his former partners wasn't polite. Homeless, forbidden to use government-regulated magic, and barely surviving out of dumpsters, Eli struggles to rebuild his life. Fairytale rats thought long extinct with the rest of the fey rescue Eli from murderous vigilantes, but at a cost. They force him to save fairy matrons stolen away by Thoth's monsters, thrusting Eli between his old company and a shadow war waged against humanity. To stop the war, cure Thoth's victims, and rescue the city, Eli need only find some way to make magic out of trash.

Blood Republic
Summary
Blood Republic is a political-thriller for a divided modern America. Corrupt politicians, biased media, NSA surveillance, and viral hate; Blood Republic examines extremism through a heart-pumping thriller with the fate of the country at stake. Will America survive its next election or collapse into a second civil war of conservative versus liberal? During the closing hours of the tightest presidential election in US history, firebrand Annie Daniels is a Democratic-socialist senator determined to win the White House. She dreams of eradicating injustice and, hopefully, saving her dying daughter's life. Major Amos Daniels, her conservative Green Beret brother, might have something to say about that, though, if her plans go against his faith. As an Electoral College tie nears, the country erupts into rioting, and Annie and Amos are thrust to opposite ends of a constitutional crisis with guns drawn. Will the Daniels family find common ground above ideology to prevent a second civil war? Or will an unknown enemy-of-the-state escape justice while pushing the nation into chaos? Blood Republic is an intelligent thriller described as combining the philosophical depth of an Any Rand or George Orwell novel with the excitement of such story-tellers as Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, and Vince Flynn. Politically independent in tone, Blood Republic will make you question your own political and philosophical allegiances while keeping you on the edge of your seat guessing as to who the true villain is in a divided modern America. Can peace and reason overcome hate, or has the country already been pushed too far? Please be aware novel contains adult themes, language, and violence.

Degrees of Separation: A Pseudonovel
Summary
This book will steal your soul. "This made my brain hurt." -Anonymous Litigant Mystical. Weird. Hilarious. A dumb cast of characters you have to see to believe. The lazy Uncle who fuses with his favorite chair. The computer virus that takes on a life of its own. The surgeon on an acid trip. Bootsy Collins. What do these people have in common? About as much as you have with Kevin Bacon. Witness how the actions of one can affect the lives of many in Degrees of Separation. Get ready for a downward spiral through hell. Through beauty and nightmares, through comedy and tragedy. A novel? Yes. A short story collection? Yes. Call it what you will, but I can promise you that it is made of 100 percent words. Degrees of Separation was originally penned by a squadron of Black Sabbath fans at a Steely Dan show. The pages that weren’t used for rolling special cigarettes were retrieved from the floor of the concert hall, and then (barely) translated into this book here. Step right up, strap in, and enjoy the ride!
