Blood Family Blitz

Book 3 of The Martyr’s Vow series

Horror/Paranormal

Date Published: 12-15-2024

Publisher: Shadow Spark Publishing

A bloodline curse haunts monster hunter Armand Tarkanian, granting him the
ability to summon the dead. But the more spirits he channels, the more
supernatural energy threatens to tear him apart.

An unexpected invitation from distant relatives gives him a chance to learn
more about his curse. What Armand finds in their moldering mansion is an odd
assortment of Armenian traditions, dark secrets, and personal grudges.

Besides a history of genocide and tragedy plaguing his kindred, things
aren’t what they seem: paintings shift and change, bones hang from
trees, and the family’s elusive patriarch is a dakhanavar – a
vampire from Armenian folklore.

When his undead host hungers for vengeance, Armand finds himself trapped
between worlds.

He must choose: either take the Martyr’s Vow and pledge to sacrifice
himself, or succumb to the dark impulses that claimed his ancestors.

Blood Family is a harrowing tale of generational trauma, folk magic, and
ripping free from the past.

Logic’s Dictate Blitz

Science Fiction

Date Published: December 15, 2024

In a galaxy far from Earth, the advanced civilization of Merk extends a
rare invitation to join their peaceful galactic continuum to worlds
demonstrating true maturity. With Earth on the brink of a monumental
transformation, all eyes are on presidential candidate Andy Brock, whose
visionary policies promise unity and progress.

Earth has already made significant strides: the Koreas have united, NATO
has dissolved following Russia’s peaceful democratization, and the world
stands on the cusp of unprecedented harmony. Yet, China remains a looming
threat, with ambitions to seize Taiwan and a war with the U.S. on the
horizon.

Amidst this turmoil, Rein, the leader of the Merkian delegation studying
Earth, must decide if humanity is ready to join the Merk galactic community.
However, her complicated feelings for Andy could either symbolize a
potential new era of interstellar cooperation with Earth, or bring the whole
mission to a grinding halt.

Through political trials, assassination attempts, and opposition from
traditionalists, the path is fraught with challenges. Will the impending
conflict with China derail Earth’s chance at interstellar peace? Can
Andy Brock ascend to the presidency and implement his transformative vision
for a brighter future?

Then a request arrives, a simple task compared to everything else she has

Toys in Babylon Blitz

A Language App Parody and Whodunnit

Satire

Date Published: August 15, 2024

Who murdered the mascot and spokes-bear of the world’s most
successful foreign language app? Was it an executive, employee, investor,
lover, or one of the company’s animated instructors – endearing
cartoon personalities invested with the power of Artificial Intelligence?
What began as a chain novel prompt along the lines of “It was a dark
and stormy night” on a language app fan site morphed into a
full-fledged novel and parody by the prize-winning author of Cooperative
Lives. The story originally appeared online in thirteen riveting
installments but is now expanded and available in book format in both
English and German as the definitive parody, page turner, and murder mystery
for anyone who has ever studied language with a cast of digital cartoon
characters and an anthropomorphic mascot.

Administration and graduated during the Carter and Reagan Administrations
from Northwestern University and the University of Chicago Law School and
