However Long the Day
However Long the Day is the tale of two strangers—Niall Donovan, a poor immigrant from Ireland, and Frederick Philips, a rich ne’er-do-well from New York’s Upper East Side—who discover they look so similar they could be twins. Frederick, desperate to avoid a lecture from his father, bribes Niall to switch places for the evening. Niall finds there’s more to the story than Frederick let on, and is dragged through the turbulence created by World War I, the Spanish Flu, and social upheaval, and into the corrupt belly of Manhattan on the cusp of Prohibition. As Niall and Frederick hurtle through the next twenty-four hours, will either get what they bargained for?

Tokyo Games
Virtual video games, the kind where human game characters wear special video glasses that allow a game player to see and hear the action while the game character is following the player’s commands to pick up bits of game magic in the real world. One night a game character witnesses a murder while in the company of a woman he met in a game. However the murderer is more than just a sex-crazed fiend and the woman who witnessed the murder of her friend is no ordinary woman. The battle between the woman who wants revenge for her friend’s murder and the evil person who murdered her begin to pull the game character down an endless rabbit hole into a vastly different reality than he has ever experienced. As this is going down, the game player is dragged along with the game character as that character explores the murderous power of corrupt politicians, despotic religious orders and ancient, flesh-eating, mythological monsters. The goal of the game becomes a desperate ordeal of survival as the evil forces combine to destroy the gamers.
