The Novels

Title	Description	Pages	Completed
Gyges the Terrible	It is the future. The world is a boring, oppressive, and mundane place. Six major empires exist, one of which is the United States and its Northern European and Central American provinces, now ruled as a “freemocracy”. Wars are fought over the resources mined on the moon. The Justices of the Supreme Court are powerful adepts at the black arts, and the President, Samuel Judas Epstein, opposes them. It is into this bitter feud that Marcellus Gyges and his friends inadvertently step when he finds a magical ring with the power of command. He and his friends go to Washington with the intention of taking over. But things turn out far differently than any of them had expected...	326	January 2010
The Grey Life	This story is an emotional character sketch. There's no fancy plot twists or moments of high drama. If, however, you're looking for a description of the confusion that arises from growing up in our most modern (Western) society, an exploration of human nature, love, sexuality, racial tension, cruelty, and ethics, you might find this one a good read.	243	Original version completed 21 October 1993, Revised May 1998
