House of Roughly a Million Demons
You won't find this one on any bookshelf--it's a two-act stage play I wrote in the spring of 2026. Here's a little synopsis:
In this fast-paced comedy, Steve Hooker and his ad agency buddies intend to spend their Saturday working on a horror movie script for their filmmaker friend, but the usual things get in the way: a heartless corporate exec, the dumbest guy in town, a woman who recites
poetry about ghosts, an old man who chains himself to the bathroom sink, and even the Channel 19 Action News Team. With the script deadline looming just hours in the future, can our intrepid group of friends overcome these obstacles to score a $75,000 payday?
If someone decides to produce this, I'll make sure you know about it.
I'm also working on a one-act play based on my short story "Bearskin Trombone Tapestries." This one is set in an advertising agency and the working title is The Relentless Pursuit of Mediocrity.
I think there's another novel rolling around in my head somewhere.
