Now Featured! Drake sees glows around people. Pulsing, beating glows. They come like his classmates' shoes or leftover cafeteria food - with different colors, sizes, and smells - but they have one thing in common: Drake can take them away. And once he does, the people go weird. It's difficult to control himself; Drake's only in Year Four at his international school, after all. But when his "best friend" - a boy without a glow who somehow isn't mindless like the others - learns of his powers, Drake will discover the rural Beijing he knows is more than what its picturesque compounds and rows of smiling houses show.

Infinite worlds. One Reporter. Zero time. After his newsroom intern jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge, 40-something reporter Daedalus Howell's reputation also took a dive. Five years later, he's still trying to clear his conscience and his byline when Jude, a lost pre-teen thief, seeks his help to get home - to a parallel universe. Or so he says. The reporter, turned amateur sleuth, soon learns that anything is possible on the strange streets of Lumaville - a sleepy Northern California college town in the grips of a startup boom. As hard-drinking Howell grumbles about the waning relevance of his profession, he uncovers a maze of dark truths that connect the boy, his brilliant ex-flame and a ruthless tech mogul. When Jude disappears, Howell's assignment is clear but can he make his deadline without ending up dead? An entertaining, postmodern, bizarro, cyberpunk ode to pulp and noir that brims with action and humor. Featured in the feature film Pill Head.

Six teens are devoted to a game with one rule: If a player gets tagged, they must change their life within the next fifteen minutes. The better the player, the bigger the change. One might give their car away, or punch the school bully. Another might change identities or sacrifice their virginity. Anything to keep evolving, to avoid fitting into a label or caring about the junk they own. But their quest for enlightenment has taken a rotten final turn - one of the players has murdered the game's creator, the teen prophet (cult leader?) David Bloom. Our narrator is being framed for the crime; can he clear his name and discover which of his lifelong friends is the murderer before he takes the fall? [sic] is a gritty teen murder mystery that delves into the psychology of enlightenment among the criminally dysfunctional.
