My big news for the moment is that Shadow Schism is finally complete and should be available at Amazon within the next week. Yipee!

Shadow Schism blurb:
Nick considers his life to be relatively normal. However, when a folk singer tells him that he
is the embodiment of sin and a raven informs him that he has been chosen to
save humanity from impending cataclysmic disaster, he begins to rethink that assessment. Then, just when Nick thinks he might be
regaining his sanity, a beguiling woman named Susan seeks his assistance from
shadows that are attacking her in a parking lot. From there, things start to get weird.
Although Nick is an unlikely (and not altogether willing)
hero, when strange beings disguised as animals begin to talk to him, what real
choice does he have but to listen? They
tell him that mankind's collective unconscious is withering and dying, causing
rifts to form between conscious reality and the shadow world. As these chasms grow, hostile animated shadows
are beginning to leak into physical reality through the cracks. Unless he can seal the rifts, all of reality
will be doomed.
Reluctantly, Nick embarks on a surreal journey, encountering
nine different animal totems and seeking the aid of a witch, an oracle, and
evasive subliminal agents. He clumsily battles
against the denizens of shadow as they invade waking reality in a variety of harrowing
forms. With a bit of luck, he might even
figure out how to win Susan's heart along the way. But will he be able to find a way to close
the rift between worlds before it's too late?
SHADOW SCHISM is a droll, unsettling tale of speculative fiction
that will leave you questioning what is "real."
