Dead 'til Dawn
Summary
Two friends who have drifted apart go on an unintended journey when they take a drug that technically turns them into zombies for 72 hours. But near immortal cultists intent on journeying to the other side will stop at nothing to get the "Bloom" back, even if it means taking it from their undead bodies. As the two men run for their unlives, they test the bonds of friendship and learn the whole universe is depending on them. So we're probably screwed.

Killer in the Retroscape
Summary
In 2068, in St. Louis, Missouri, Dr. Douglas (Doug) Michaels finds his lifelong friend Josh Unger dead in his home. When law enforcement concludes his death was a suicide, Doug and his wife Ali are dumbstruck; they wonder what could explain such a needlessly violent and lonely death in a future where such actions are unimaginable. Trying to unearth a killer, be it either flesh and blood or the cumulative stress of life, Doug creates a mental landscape of Josh’s past, a retroscape, starting in the mid-2030s. Among its landmarks are: An illness sensationalized in the media as the “zombie pandemic” that drives a wedge between husband and wife, parents and children Cryptic communications between Josh and an “after-life specialist” who peddles immortality services A mysterious phrase uttered at the assassination of a government official that ties it to Josh’s death 14 years later Josh’s machine-intelligence wife Julia, who may hold the secret to his death...if she can only remember In the end, determining guilt in a retroscape littered with suspects tells Doug more about humanity, technology, and himself than he ever would have imagined.

Of Half a Mind
Summary
2019 B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree 2018 Wishing Shelf Book Awards Finalist When you talk to yourself, there’s only one voice. When you picture something, there’s but a single mind’s eye. Recently graduated psychologist Dr. Sam “Doc” Price and his inexperienced team had always held those principles to be true...at least, under normal circumstances. But as they studied the work of Dr. Ned Worthington, a brilliant but troubled neuroscientist, they began to wonder if he had created an electronic world that was anything but normal. He claimed it could rewire the brain and repurpose sections of it for new uses. And the man who had used it was capable of remarkable feats. But as their awe of what might be possible grew, so did their unease about what was implied. Just beyond what they could prove, there seemed a dark side of the technology and, perhaps, a man who had succumbed to it. Was he watching? Was he coming for them? And when Doc and his team finally secured the evidence they sought, only one question remained: Now that they knew, could they survive the truth?
