Gothic Black is an idea based on ideas for stories. I try not to overextend storylines, and this is the result.

What do you do when someone is deliberately trying to wreck an advertising agency? Obviously, you get a dog food manufacturer and a partner who hate the business side, and take on the entire industry. Ads is the book that wouldn't go away. After I'd written the first Threat-Hamster, I started to wonder if I could write a "normal" novel. This is the result. Normal, it ain't.

The Threat-Hamster Papers

First book in the series. The Threat-Hamsters run the world, as heads of the Scientocracy. The fact that most of the remaining humans are disappearing seems a bit odd, so Insipidia Threat-Hamster tries to find out from the humans if there's anything wrong with that. She finds herself dealing with the Celtic immortals, the Mimblys. There's some question whether anyone wants to save the human race at all. Things then get much less clear. This was my first book, and I wrote it pretty much as the sort of book I'd like to read. I detest formula writing, and this is about as far removed as I could get.

Book 3 in the Threat Hamster series. Includes the terrible War Of The Decorators, the ghastly saga of Sheep Gropers Retreat, and other really sickening things. Useful if you're thinking of giving someone a really confusing birthday present, or a way of getting them to stop talking to you.

Second book in the Threat-Hamster series. Seems some people prefer paper. Sorry, trees, but I guess there are worse ways to wind up than as a book.

Mimbly Tales

Mimbly Tales is the second book in the Threat-Hamster series. It contains such invaluable information as the search for Ultimate Comfort, how not to be omniscient, reasons for having sex with the Gobi Desert, living with a sybarite wildcat, how to eliminate direct marketing things with amplified Chaucer, strange goings-on at the Pedants Progressive Society,...ah, read the thing. It'd take another book to describe it. It's a matter of opinion what the English language has done to deserve this book, but it must have been awful.

Wanderlaugh

Wanderlaugh is the third book in the Threat-Hamster series. The Man Of Weeds meets The Woman Of Vibes. The War Of The Decorators, Young Couthwindow In Love, and The Valley Of Dearth and a 4000 year old Elemental Dreamer, and what to do if your grandfather is part of the Mid Atlantic Ridge.

What are you supposed to do when someone seems to be deliberately running an advertising agency into the ground? Several million dollars are involved, and the parent agency is at war with itself. Obviously, you find a dog food manufacturer and a partner who hates the business side of things, and take on the whole industry. This is the book that wouldn't go away. It's a send up of the industry as well as a story. I grew up in a freelance advertising agency, and the whole story started working when the characters began to hit targets I've been wanting to hit for years. If you like reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it, good deal.

Ever hear of a reformed gardener? Of course not. This book will explain why. It also explains some of the ramifications of your spouse turning into a sandwich making troglodyte, and what happens when your dog and cat take over the world.

The Threat-Hamster Papers

First book in the Threat-Hamster series.Someone is stealing the human race. The Scientocracy, ruling body of Earth, is sure that something is wrong with this. Insipidia Threat-Hamster, ruling giant slug, tries to investigate the problem and is introduced to the Mimblys, a family of feral Celtic immortals, none of whom are entirely sure they want to save the human race. A Chinese immortal arrives on a cloud (naturally) and explains that things are a bit worse than that. Things then get much more complicated, far less explicable, and positively gruesome. Perfect reading for anyone as sick to death of formula story writing as I am. The next two books in the series are much worse...

I don’t write lullabies, I write books. There’s no sugar coating in this one. It’s important that people starting out as freelancers understand the basics. This is orientation training.

The rabid dogs are raging in the industrial wasteland, and the undead are filing lawsuits as designer suit-clad urine samples stab you in the back while the sewers overflow, usually all over your desk

This is an exploration of the idea of being a person in this alleged society. The idea is to study the relationship between being yourself and your life.
