Science Fiction / Fantasy

Janet's husband isn't dead any more; he's been resurrected in digital form from his social media profiles. But there are a few things Janet's keeping from him.Storming out of the house after a fight with my wife, I met a grimy old man wearing a shabby overcoat and playing the saxophone. His white hair stood straight out like a halo around his head, and a thick, white mustache covered the instrument's mouthpiece as he played. I startled; that face belonged to the most famous intellect of modern times. If he was who he seemed, crowds should have been gathering, reporters clamoring for interviews, but nobody recognized him as anything other than an old homeless man--no one, that is, except me.

Before a new race of super-humans can save the world, they first have to be saved themselves by a group of ordinary soldiers. These ordinary soldiers, known as the Eine, must fight off a powerful and seemingly invincible foe, their pasts, and their doubts about the future in an impossible struggle against the odds.Due to the surprising popularity of my first three short books of poetry, I am releasing this early. It is a book of sonnets exclusively, thirty-nine of them, written over the years. I have culled the best of them from the 150 or so that I have written. They range from the very eclectic to the very romantic, some negative, some positive. Please feel free to review the book, I would love to hear what you think!
