    The Lamarr Legacy

    One patent. Five witnesses. Eighty-four years of deliberate silence. In 1941, Hedy Lamarr filed a patent for a frequency-hopping communication system that would become the foundation of every wireless technology on Earth. The Navy told her to sell war bonds. The patent expired without acknowledgement, without royalties, and without her name attached to a single one of the systems built upon her architecture. Five people, across five decades, discover the shape of what was done.

    What You Already Wanted

    A series of quiet horror. Complete novellas, each free to be read on its own. No gore, no monster lunging from the dark. Only the patient accumulation of unease, and the sense that the floor of ordinary things is thinner than anyone thought.

    How To Die Gracefully

    How to Die Gracefully is a five-book comic space opera, best read in order, beginning with Deadeye and the Widowmaker. Consolidated Frontier Holdings is strip-mining a dying sector from a fleet of rusting deep-space barges, and to keep morale up it has made "authentic frontier living" compulsory: cowboy dusters, mandatory high-noon duels, a saloon bolted over the airlock. Into it steps Wilbur "Deadeye" Grubb, the least brave man in the sector, who wants precisely one thing, which is to not die, aboard a barge that treats staying alive as a failure of spirit. Dry, skeptical, and very funny, in the lineage of Terry Pratchett, Grant Naylor's Red Dwarf, and Douglas Adams.
