THE PROJECTION ROOM BOOKS
Dear Readers:
Yes, the series is pretty much complete and I am sorry it took so long for Book 4 to come out, but thanks for your patience. I hope it was worth the wait.
Now, some are going to ask me, “Is this the last Projection Room book?” I’m going to honestly say I don’t know. There might be a five, but I make no promises. I have other books planned (see below,) and I have an idea for another series that might involve some of the characters in this series as well, so they’re not necessarily going to disappear (Yes, a spin-off! It’s very possible. There, I said it!) That’s why I introduced the character of Deuteronomy Jones, the late-night radio talk-show host in the pages of this book. I can’t say when, but something is percolating on the creative backburner at the moment of writing this.
In the meantime, hope you enjoy where these books take you.

ORIGAMI MAN
When a high school student claims he was attacked by a large bat in the boys' restroom, the only thing they can find is an origami bat and nothing more.
The odd event triggers a memory of a decade long urban legend that Vice Principal, John Thomas recounts to the Principal, Evan Garner.
Has the fabled Origami Man and his book of folding papers come to back to life? Has a group of teens learned of the urban legend and tried to resurrected it? Is it an elaborate hoax or was there such a mystic book of papers possessed by the Origami Man?

SACRED MANTLE
Photo-journalist, Samuel Cohen has been on a life-long quest for truth. He specializes in recording finds at archaeological digs. But lately, his line of work has taken him on some unusual paths.
First, a shoot in Texas he's photographing a very large, six-toed human foot print alongside a dinosaur print. He believes what he's seeing an oddity at best, or even an malicious deception. That is until he meets the mysterious man that simply goes by the name of Enoch, who tells him a tale of the ancient most origins.
Later, Samuel is photographing and documenting the opening of a tomb in Israel. Excitement mounts when it is believed it's the burial site of a Biblical patriarch. Everyone is puzzled when a cloak of animal skin is wrapped around the body. The remains have decayed, but the mysterious mantle shows only the slightest bit of age. There's wild speculation - is it the mantle of Esau, Nimrod or even someone else?
It's then that Enoch returns to tell Samuel the rest of the story of the mantle's past, present and future.
Screenplays Yeah, I wrote of few of these.
Former zombie filmmaker, Victor Chesterfield, is heartbroken. His wife Olivia, a high school drama teacher, has had enough of his foul moods and flying off the handle. Even though she might still love him, she left because she can no longer tolerate his dramatic outbursts. She claims she prefers her drama on the stage.
His best friend and employee of the quirky American Science and Surplus Store, Eddie tells him that Olivia misses the man that was so much fun when he was making his gawd-awful B-movie zombie flicks. Seeing a flicker of hope, they decided it's time to brush off an unmade script titled "Zombie Day Care Apocalypse" and convince her to make once last zombie movie with them.
Olivia is reluctant to jump back into her zombie killing catsuit. That is, until two of her slacker students blackmail her. She had hoped her colleagues would never know of her less than stellar thespian forays into zombie-dom, but like Michael Corleone and the mob, these students want to drag her back into B-movies. She finally agrees to make Victor's movie provided he cast her two students and have them do all their own stunt work.
That's all they needed to greenlight the project; Victor and Eddie enlist all the workers at the store to help them make their masterpiece with children zombies. It's then that Victor realizes why it's never wise to make movies with children or animals. The two slackers wish they had never agreed to do their own stunts. The neighborhood where filming takes place is in chaos, all the while everyone involved has the time of their lives making "Zombie Day Care Apocalypse."
