Dr. Freudine Is In: The Drama Deepens is the middle book of a trilogy about Dr. Ziggy Freudine, a psychiatrist just starting out. In this book she continues to try to understand how to be a helpful and creative psychiatrist and not go crazy in doing so! There's a group of psychiatrists she's been hoping to join so they may guide and support her efforts, but the psychiatrists she's met so far are anything but helpful.

Dr. Ziggy Freudine is a young psychiatrist with a lot of dreams as she begins her practice. It's her story of life in and out of the office as she seeks a free-spirited, unconventional approach to helping clients. She and her few clients are a lot like you or I, people who simply need a listener.

This novel is a satirical look at my life, and I have never written for a porn site. There are four parts to this book: The Rehearsal (trying to figure out my life and men), The Performance (a story in two perspectives about a transgender guy being interviewed), The Reviews, and Pornopraphy (amusing selection of commentary and reviews of media products). I write just a little soft porn for humor, but mostly it's about why my satirical "drag queen" narrator started writing erotica.

Eden Forever is a slightly satirical science fiction novel that may be considered a cautionary tale if we allow our fresh water resources to dry up. When this happens in my story, only a few decades from now, we desalinate ocean water that makes us vulnerable to a superbug and it spells the end for human life as we know it. Enter biorobotics technology and the discovery of a planet the survivors can move to as biorobots.

Eden at Play is religious satire, but it also has spiritual depth to make listeners think about life and their faith or non-faith. Poetry is included as well as a short, poetic version of the story that has a curious child asking his parents questions about the mythological Garden of Eden and death. It's very sensitively described and life-affirming.

Eden in Purrgatory: A Satire is a satirical, yet well-researched prequel to Eden at Play: A Grown-Up Fable. It initiates a thematic trilogy that explores our relationship, for good or ill, with spiritual matters. This novel includes a section on the historical aspects that are not limited to many of its characters. I also pay tribute to The Arabian Nights, Homer, and Greek mythology as well as the burgeoning Christian religion.
