The Tale of D'lyssoday
Book One: FORTRESS
Three strangers: Iris, Alistair and Spike, are casually ripped from their mundane lives to find themselves in a vast desert. Their journey to discover the reason puts them in the path of two unpredictable smiling gods.
Guided by intuition, and the words of a possibly-long-dead doctor from 1886, they brave sand, caves, ruby bugs, too much diner food, a medicine show, many baffling visions, and an unexpectedly good performance at a local theater, all while wondering if the cheerful hints offered by the enigmatic Twin Gods are as helpful as they seem. In the end a decision must be made, one that, if all goes well, will rip a soul apart.
Instantly engrossing, and wonderfully re-readable, this is a subtle and enchanting tale of fate, of true soul-love that transcends time and space, and the healing power of French fries.

The Tale of D'lyssoday
Book Two: D'LYSSODAY
​ Iris, Alistair and Spike find themselves in charge of the bright, restored world of the smiling Twin Gods. In order to wisely care for what has been entrusted to them, they quickly learn, and quickly change. As their destiny falls into place, their future stretches gloriously before them.
Or does it?
It seems that something now knows they are there, and that particular something will do all it can to remove them. The question is, are the three of them sure enough of who they are? And will this be enough to battle who they were?
In the Second Book of The Tale of D’lyssoday, the Ruby Bugs are revealed to be more than previously thought; a young life with one foot in the past enters the picture; a woman with chrome eyes returns; and a journey one dimension over into Listening Day Territory brings about more than is bargained for, especially the knowledge of the unexpected force surrounding the rapidly dimming town.

Quadrille
A Romantic Play
Ingredients:
1 Self-Sufficient Woman Baker
1 Nobleman in need of a Cook
1 Sweet Young Lady
1 Dashing Hero
Preheat the year 1835. Mix the Baker and the Nobleman together until romance blossoms. For a little confusion, gently add the Sweet Young Lady into the mix. Sprinkle in a pinch of frustrated love, and then add a dash of Hero rushing in to save the day. Bake at 350 degrees for the length of one duel, or until ready to admit the truth. Serves them all right.
Quadrille is a delicious tale featuring romance, secret plots, good food, more secret plots, bad food, heroic duels, and plenty of perfectly prepared corn muffins. Bon appetite!
