A MAN WALKS OUT OF A CULT . . .
Fresh from ten years in The Radiant Way cult, private investigator Trucker Holmes is learning how to live in the real world again. According to his new partner, Ed Young, the best way forward is to tackle a stack of cases that have long gone cold.
Joined by Ed’s psychologist sister Ida and a young woman known as Rose of Catalina, the unlikely detectives reopen the case of a mother and daughter who vanished without a trace during a vacation off the California coast.
Their search takes them from the garage of a saint to an island overlook filled with mysterious lights to a town up north stuck in time by a tyrant, all while being chased by members of a cult who will not let the past die.
What begins as a forgotten missing persons case ignites a confrontation between the fears that keep us trapped and the future that sets us free.

WHEN THE TRUTH DOESN'T EXIST,
WHAT SETS YOU FREE?
A gripping story about belief and control.
When detective Trucker Holmes tracks a missing-person case to a fanatical self-help movement, he's pulled into a darkly comic maze of devotion, deceit, and survival. ZERO PROOF is both a noir mystery and a sharp look at how people escape manipulation and reclaim their identity.

A page turner that resonated.
Unexpected, powerful, and I loved the story and characters.
I had thirty pages to go and no idea how it was going to end. When it did, I was blown away. Amazing. Loved it.

Magic is just out of view . . .
Young Denby Evers is an ordinary office worker. Ordinary from the tips of his simple dress shoes to the knot in his plain tie.
He and his life were entirely utterly completely ordinary until one fateful morning when he seemingly became the sole witness to a horrendous hit-and-run in the middle of the busy borough of Brooklyn.
Little did he know that this collision was one between the ordinary world and one quite unordinary.
One filled with insightful undying beings, slightly cranky warrior goddesses, machine men with pear-shaped hearts of gold, and little pajama-wearing girls who he believed were Jedi but was told were totally not Jedi.
Those in the unordinary world had long ago been pushed aside and forgotten. But now, due to a mysterious reason that Denby did not understand, only he could see them. Only he could see them. And only he could save them.
