Eve's Men

A classic bad seed and his good-guy brother fall in love with the same woman. Wild man Brian demolishes a movie set as revenge against the studio he feels is defaming him. As Brian rampages from Colorado to Seattle with girlfriend Eve in tow, his brother Charley follows, unnerved by Brian's increasingly violent behavior.

Eve, Brian, and Charley are on a crusade ride through mayhem and madness, where one seeks justice, another seeks redemption, and all three seek something in the ruins—each other. EVE'S MEN is a fascinating ride with a wild man and those who love him.

The Lion at the Door

After losing his wife, his parents, and his family farm, Tom Kohl is staying with his cousin Ken in Seattle as he tries to put his life back together. But things only go from bad to worse when Ken kills a man in a hit-and-run—a man who turns out to be the brother of Tony Jack Giacolone, Seattle's top mobster. Out of loyalty to his cousin, Tom agrees to help cover up the killing. But when he's spotted ditching the car by a cocktail waitress—who happens to also be the girlfriend of a low level mobster—the stakes only get higher, and Tom must face what he's willing to do for family when his life is on the line.

To Die in California

The police call on David Hook at his farm in Illinois, telling him his son Chris has committed suicide. David doesn’t believe them, he can’t. He knows something else must have happened in California to cause Chris’s death. Diving into the life of his son, David discovers corruption, immorality, and evil that shocks him to his very core, but it also awakens something lurking within, something he enjoys, something that poses an even bigger threat to those who hurt his son.

Valhalla

In the dystopian future, the government has collapsed, cities are burning, and roving gangs, called Mau Maus, are marauding across America. A drifter named Walter Stone finds refuge at a lakeside camp, where the survivors of a plane crash have met up with other refugees, and are struggling with a constantly changing cast of leaders, as well as limited supplies. Across the lake stands Valhalla, a house, well supplied with food and ammunition, where a junkman and his daughters live. The goal is to take control of Valhalla. The obstacles are certain death across the lake, roving bands of killers threatening the camp, and a way of life that is quickly slipping away.
