      <image:title>Home - this november, there are no saints, only sinners.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Do not be deceived by appearances. Sometimes the villains of our stories are monsters and demons; sometimes the monsters and demons are human. And sometimes, as loath as we are to admit it, we are the villain. No Saints, Only Sinners includes a variety of tales that exemplify this tome’s title: A former musician seeks revenge on the man who ruined her life. A writer is faced with the horrors of his imagination during a fateful radio interview. A group of mercenaries must wage battle to save a woman's life in a dystopian hellscape against the unholy family that abducted her. A distraught couple makes a horrific deal with a necromancer to bring their beloved pet back from beyond. An unstoppable plague ravages a fantastical and magical world. And more... Hero or villain, ordinary or extraordinary, we are all characters in our stories, and no one—not even those others may see as saintly—is without sin. Publishing in November 2025, the Kickstarter goes live for 30 days on August 13th!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Upon his arrival in the idyllic coastal town of Scarborough Hill, Teddy is afforded only a brief night of rest before he receives a prophetic dream of nightmarish intent. All his life, Teddy has endured the dreams of others against his will. Without them, he is unable to sleep. Therefore, whereas most people would dismiss such a vision, Teddy knows the dream for what it is: a promise of violence that will rock the town to its core. Armed with the knowledge that atrocities will soon be committed, Teddy sets out, but the forces aligned against him are far worse and more powerful than he initially realizes. In the hours to come, Teddy will find himself locked in battle with a darkness that sweeps the entire town, a darkness many would believe demonic... but Teddy suspects its origins are far more sinister. Before this day is through, Teddy will confront the darkness within us all, and he will come to truly ponder all the meanings of the word WAKE Available at: Amazon Barnes &amp; Noble</image:caption>

      <image:caption>TEDDY DORMER'S DREAMS ARE NOT HIS OWN. Teddy lives with a condition unlike any other: in order to sleep, he must not only inadvertently steal the ability for others around him to sleep, but he also experiences their worst nightmares, memories, and darkest secrets. This is a condition he has lived with his entire life, often with dire consequences, but he has a system that works for him. Teddy lives on the road, perpetually moving from place to place, never subjecting his presence on the same population for longer than a single night. However, at a small hotel in Texas, Teddy discovers through a young woman’s dreams that she has been kidnapped. Driven by conscience, Teddy does what he must to find and free her from the clutches of evil. What he cannot anticipate, however, is how this singular deed will trigger a chain of events that will not only compel him to confront an evil from his past but will also lead him to an encounter with a force far beyond anything he has ever faced before – a force with the potential to change the world as it sees fit! Teddy is a novel about the dichotomy of the human condition, for even in the face of absolute madness, good may persevere and hope will endure.

      <image:caption>Sullivan Doyle was a star on the rise before he crossed paths with Teddy Dormer. His first two novels were both on the New York Times Bestseller lists, and critics were hailing him as the next big author to watch. All of that changed when a brutal assault in his home rendered him comatose. For years, he lay in a hospital ward, unresponsive. Three weeks ago, in the wake of the tragic events in Scarborough Hill, California, he disappeared. The official story is strange. The truth is stranger. What the world doesn’t know is that Sullivan Doyle was a test subject, imbued with supernatural abilities, and now those abilities have awakened. Taken by those who created him, Sullivan is isolated at a remote outpost. Now that he is awake, he is a prisoner of his own body while those who have taken him are at his mercy, for Sullivan’s abilities allow him to bend and reshape reality as he sees fit. As Sullivan tests the limits of his abilities, another threat emerges. Every last person at the outpost begins to dream of another man with abilities: the blind man. The organization that created Sullivan, and others like him, means to subjugate him. If they cannot control him, they mean to destroy him. The blind man is their acolyte, their weapon. He is coming, and time is running out. Available for Amazon Kindle Audible</image:caption>

      <image:title>Poetry</image:title>
      <image:caption>HOME IS NOT A PLACE. IT IS A STATE OF MIND. And everything has changed: is still changing, in fact, and everything you know is evolving and becoming an existence you hardly recognize. What do you do? You escape and redefine yourself by searching for a new place in which to belong and, in the process, find new hope. Through the landscapes of poetry, discover a story of heartbreak and renewal, of madness and resolution, of love and redemption. But remember that, even in leaving the place you always thought was home, sometimes the ghosts of your past have a nasty habit of chasing after you. With Tennessee Refugee, Michael David Anderson faces these changes and trials, and in this story you may find meaning not only in his life but in yours as well... For without memory, we are doomed to repeat ourselves. Available at: Amazon Barnes &amp; Noble</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Michael David Anderson returns with his latest poetry collection Wasted Days, the spiritual successor to Tennessee Refugee. While each poem serves as a standalone work, every poem is also part of an overall story that chronicles the end of a relationship in reverse as well as the anonymous narrator's attempts to change the past. The consequences, however, far exceed anything he could have ever imagined. Available at: Amazon Barnes &amp; Noble</image:caption>
