Original Works

Rex Mundi

A quest for the Holy Grail told as a murder mystery. Rex Mundi has been compared (favorably!) to The Da Vinci Code; I published the first issue of Rex Mundi a good three years before The Da Vinci Code came out.

There are six volumes in total. Rex Mundi been translated into Italian, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

Zero Killer

Zero Killer is set in present-day New York City, with a slight twist: in Zero Killer, the United States did not end World War II with atomic weapons. A joint US/Soviet invasion of Japan lead to a global nuclear war in 1973. Zero, the main character, is a bounty hunter with a dream of reaching a fabled land left untouched by the nuclear fires, a land called "Africa"...

The Seven Branches

My first attempt at a (young adult) novel. I'm working on The Seven Branches as much as possible between paying jobs. It's set in a world where giants and trolls have pushed human beings to the edge of extinction. But humans have recently mastered the art of sorcery...

The first book is called The Band of the Crow. No Web site yet, no agent, no publisher, no idea what the hell I'm doing. But none of that ever stopped me before!
