The Spire: Book 1 of the Queue Series
The year is 170 PF (2200 CE). Money is gone. Everyone has enough. Since GERAS, almost no one dies, and the scarce things (a month in a writing cabin under the northern lights, a seat to Mars) are allocated by a number: the Queue Quotient.
Dar Rax checks that number for a living. He’s an equeuenomist, a man who counts things, and on a quiet November morning his partner, Comai Safed, finds a record that shouldn’t exist: one citizen’s score climbing, quarter after quarter, like a spire in a flat desert.
Someone is cheating the Queue. Following the anomaly will cost Dar more than his job. It leads into his own family, into a city that was built underground on purpose, and into a question he has been running from for a hundred years: in a world that has solved survival, what is any of it for?
The Spire is a quiet, wintry mystery about fraud, grief, brothers, and the stubborn search for meaning, the first book in a seven-book series about a society that got almost everything right.

Too Soon?
TOO SOON? is a no-holds-barred political satire that blasts through the sacred and the profane with equal recklessness. When five high school stoners unwittingly become pawns in a domestic terrorist plot orchestrated by their radicalized weed dealer—an ex-farm boy turned extremist named Baba—they find themselves at the center of a nationwide panic, a clueless FBI investigation, and a social media meltdown led by President Donald Trump. With exploding drones, a gold-plated Kanye West, and a parrot who praises Allah on command, Too Soon? takes aim at everything from Islamophobia and teenage apathy to government incompetence and media hysteria. Hilarious, dark, and completely unhinged, this film asks the question we all know the answer to: Is it too soon? (Spoiler: Yes. But we’re doing it anyway.)
