Junicka Valley: Book One is the first volume in a three-part series of weird fiction centered on the town of Junicka Valley and the strange things happening to the people who live there. I've been working on the story for over ten years now. It's gone through a lot of changes, but the first book is finally ready for the world.

Here's the blurb from the back of the book:

It's summer in Junicka Valley, and life is getting strange. Two lonely brothers meet a girl with rainbow eyes. A man without meaning drifts through the chaos in his mind. A baseball star, abandoned to her rage, becomes friends with the impossible. An artist loses her soul, and along with it, all that she holds dear. A detective, returning to the town he swore he'd never see again, investigates a murder that's just the beginning of what's to come. Junicka Valley: Book One begins the story of a town drenched in the sunshine of a strange and deadly summer.

A character-driven, psychological thriller, Junicka Valley challenges readers to explore questions of reality, perception, and identity. It's got its fair share of dark undertones and thriller suspense, but despite all that seriousness, it's not afraid to laugh or take in the bright blue sky.

The journey is just the beginning too! There are two more books coming out in the next few years, and they get even crazier.

A big thanks to all those who helped me along the way! (Particularly my wife, Jo. She gets to deal with my endless days and nights of working on the grindstone.)

While I love game design, writing scratches a special itch deep down in my soul. Junicka Valley especially means a lot to me. I've been writing it for a long time now, and in a lot of ways, it reflects some deeper part of myself that I don't yet understand.

But... that's for another day! For now, we'll let the story tell itself.
