American Fallout

Picture
Casper Crabb, a greedy, self-involved gas station owner, just wants to be left alone in the middle of the desert. Penny Brinkman wants pallets of water for the coming war as the U.S. and Russia have a military standoff. So, Casper gives Penny a discount on the water in exchange for being his prepping mentor. Between a list of to-dos, a weekend bugging out in the desert and a tour of her meticulously prepared fallout bunker, they fall in love. With the world on the brink of nuclear war, can they navigate their feelings enough to make each other's lives a little better or will it all fall apart in a catastrophe of Casper's making.

Shadow City

As Dominic Johnson, a veteran homicide detective, puts his latest case in a file of unsolvable murders, his life turns tragic when his wife is mysteriously killed. Much like the rest of the cases, her murder cannot be solved. This leads him to a goth sex-club owned by a coven of malevolent witches, and the plucky teen vampire who introduces him to New York City’s shadowy underground of magic-users, monsters and supernatural beings. Stymied in his pursuit of justice by both the normal and supernatural world, Dominic agrees to help the teen-vamp solve her parents' murder if she helps him solve his wife’s murder, and any other supernatural case that comes his way.
