Gulliver’s Travels: The Broligarchy
Samantha Gulliver washes ashore in Gigaland, a technostate where algorithms determine human worth, surveillance is sold as safety, and influence is everything. Disguised as a top influencer, Sam becomes the glitch in a system determined to shape her into something it can control. But what happens when a machine built to predict everyone encounters someone it can’t predict? Welcome to the future — filtered, ranked, and ready to consume you.
Part satire, part survival thriller, this immersive techno-nightmare speaks to the modern American dystopia and asks, "What happens when technofascism wins?"

The River, an Erotic Noir
Caroline Fontaine is drowning. Widowed and ruined, she is drawn into the private world of New Orleans’ elite, where obedience is enforced, secrets are traded, and bodies are currency.
Sent to the French Quarter to live a double life—artist by day, possession by night—Caroline begins to sense that her husband’s death was not an ending, but an opening. As truth seeps through the cracks, Caroline faces an impossible choice: remain a victim of the current—or learn how to bend it.
The River is an erotic noir about power, corruption, and the quiet moment when survival becomes something else entirely.

Sesame Swallow, Private Investigator
Sesame Swallow — a sassy, sexy 20-something living the city life in Baltimore. It’s not all about solving crimes - a girl’s gotta eat, sleep, and everything in between, but this gal is determined to set her own course in the world and uncover the mysteries that materialize.
Aching to escape the humdrum life of a court researcher, Sesame knocks on the right door at the right time (with a little help from her mentor) and stumbles into the case of a lifetime, one that will test every assumption she ever had about being a private investigator.
