     1994, PORTLAND, OR. "Damned are the days of Carpe Diem!" is the personal life motto of Curtis Carpenter, a used car salesman whose only aspirations in life have been to foster and drown in a perdurable drug habit. That is, until he meets Shelly; a fifteen-year-old drifter whose Kerouacian tales about life on the road dislodge his once stable philosophies about junkyism and the post-Cold War drug underground.

     Between nightmares in New York, daydreamt Boston street raids, and narratives spun out of Portland, OXFORD SHEEP is an in-depth, semi-autobiographical examination of the lives of six inordinary strangers and their struggles amid a rising health epidemic, economic downfalls, and relationships buoyed by the threat of co-dependency near the genesis of the twenty-first century.

[2020 Watty Award Winner] Alice Rhodes, an aspiring actress who gets a heart transplant, has to live her heart donor's life like it's a movie role, in order to find her identity and the life that awaits her in Hollywood. ***** A heart transplant causes Alice Rhodes to remember her heart donor's life. Intrigued by the strange people from her new memories, she goes looking for them, only to find herself in the middle of an investigation of the absurd disappearance of an important woman. With her personality changing into her heart donor's, Alice navigates a mysterious world where nothing seems to make sense and yet everything is strangely connected.
