Marjorie, Vampire Dentist

Vampires roam the streets of Brooklyn. And they are in dire need of dental care.

Marjorie Vlad’s first week of private dental practice doesn’t go exactly as she envisioned.

Mysterious, cash-only patients. Strange nighttime hours. Neon signs. And dangerously sharp cuspids.

Soon she's got an all-vampire clientele, all-vampire staff, and all-vampire schedule. Vampires and their cavities are taking over her life. Marjorie begins to realize her sponsor Harry Seong is the best-looking vampire in New York, and there's a seamy underside to vampire culture she's just barely starting to understand.

Join Marjorie as she takes a toothpaste-fueled journey into Brooklyn’s hidden vampire culture, where nothing’s as simple as it first appears.


The Galaxia Mortem Tetralogy

Welcome to 2422, a time of implanted technology, exotic exoplanets, and the apex predator we ourselves created.

Now two women from opposite ends of the galaxy threaten to expose the secret behind the most dangerous killer humanity has ever spawned.

Armintor Vess is days away from receiving her first cranial implant when a technology-fueled plague strikes her homeworld. Fears of contagion condemn Armintor and the other survivors to a planet ruled by autocratic technophobes. She fights to stay alive in her new, pitiless, low-tech world. Seizing a better opportunity seems like the answer to her dreams. But her chance at a new life uncovers a danger that threatens the entire human race.

Intel-broker Redcholate Parise buys and sells information in virtual reality. When a mysterious client offers a fortune for a job that can only be completed in the real world, the job takes over Redcholate’s body and her life, and she learns more than she ever wanted to know.

As their two stories collide, both women find themselves facing a foe they could never defeat alone. They must find the truth before time—and humanity’s existence—runs out.
