Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, which is based on an English poem by Arthur Brooke that was based on a French version of an Italian original, was not, as the saying goes, a great love story: it's the story of a three day relationship that killed six people. But what if it was a love story? What if it was, say, three love stories? One straight, one kinky, one queer?
Capuleft and Montaright is a sword-and-cell-phone novel-in-verse set in a world where one's handedness is the most important thing, and Juliet of Capuleft falls in love with Romeo of Montaright. Their cousins Ben, Ty and Rosalyn, along with their friend Merk, have to navigate the complexities of prejudice and desire in order to bring the lovers together and sort out their own platonic and romantic entanglements with a minimum of projectile vomiting.
The thought was uncompleted, for her face beneath his own, her body beneath his, came forcefully into his ailing brain and swept away all consciousness of pain except the ache of wanting her. He knew he had to find her now, but after work the shopping district teamed with eager men and women wanting everything: a hat, a coat, some shoes. A pair of pants, and one phased plasma rifle, forty watts or so... what more could any ask for in a place where everything was on the block, for sale?
It's out this August, and available via Amazon, world-wide!
For Young Readers
The Inner Islands Trilogy is an illustrated story of friendship and adventure in the world where long about humans did something to make many animal species intelligent, and went away.
In Cedar Island Dreams, Anforth the raccon and his friends Flutsam the otter and Crow the crow find a human-made sailboat, which is also being sought after by a gang of pirate wolves. They face danger, hardship, and fear, meet a friendly sea-wolf named Rufus, and cross the Outer Channel to the mainland as the wolves chase them!
The story continues in A Knock at the Door, in which Anforth and his friends explore the Drowned City and travel north in search of what the humans might have left behind. But there is more going on behind the scenes than the realize!
The final book in the trilogy, Where the Humans Went is came out in the spring of 2021, and was soon followed by the Complete Inner Islands Trilogy in one volume!
