Scott Lorlon is in a wicked funk. He can't eat, can't sleep, won't go to his classes and has made the awful mistake of cutting his own hair. His fall through the fragile floor of despair comes after his longtime girlfriend has kicked him to the curb without so much as a warning. This darkly comic thriller takes root as Scott's roommate, Hale, and two other buddies try to cheer him up. But for them, it's a loaded bong where all their trouble begins. Busted by a vicious resident assistant, heated words are exchanged and when the R.A. attacks them, Scott unintentionally kills him. The boys panic and hatch a crazy scheme to get rid of the body -- a plan ending with a deadly fireball that only succeeds in getting them deeper over their heads in crisis.

Imagine a story that combines the intense football action of "Any Given Sunday" with the space opera style of "Star Wars" and the criminal underworld of "The Godfather."

"The Rookie" is set amongst a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future. Aliens play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25 feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and linebackers that -- literally -- want to eat you. Organized crime runs every franchise, games are fixed and rival players are assasinated.

Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a 19-year-old quarterback prodigy that has been raised all his life to hate, and kill, those aliens. Quentin must deal with his racism and learn to lead, or hell wind up just another stat in the column marked "killed on the field."

From traditional to experimental in format, this collection of short stories includes mysteries, monologues, literary pieces and mischievous whimsy. At times humorous, at times heartbreaking, the stories aim to challenge as much as they strive to please. Strangers become intimates, intimates become strangers -- the world is turned upside down, shaken then served up with a wink. So sit back and let us take you on a journey to private places and unforgettable inside stories.
