WAR IS COMING TO THE STREETS OF DROP CITY Part One of The Clar1ty Wars. One Bad Apple For nearly a century the Orbital Corporation Pfizer-Teva has supplied the leading citizens of Drop City with Clar1ty: a potent and effective cerebral enhancer. Hailed as a miracle of modern science, its use has catapulted the planet to untold heights of wealth and power. There is a dark side to the wonders. Behind the scenes, Pfizer-Teva leverages the supply to influence government policy and manipulate financial markets, and ruthlessly eliminate dissent. Clar1ty insures the entire Kepler22 system remains dominated by the Orbital Corporations. There are those who believe its hold must be broken. At all cost. This morning, seven Clar1ty addicts were found bled out in an abandoned warehouse, the beautiful fence who handled the black market shipment woke up framed for murder, and somebody tried to assassinate fifteen government officials. War is coming, and these are snapshots from the crossfire.

My interest in books started when I was nine, the year my baby brother shoved a pretzel down into the back of the television set and my parents didn't bother to get it fixed. My first novel, "Running Black" was a 'put up or shut up' project during the 2008 recession. The sequel "Shift Tense" rolled out two years later. Since then, I've just kept writing. Other titles include the cyberpunk/technoir novella, 'Soul Cache', a Celtic-flavored ghost story, 'The Barrow Lover', three tales from the Exclusion Zone - 'A Prayer to Saint Strelok', 'Strange Treasure', and 'Gopnik Blues' - and a scattering of stand-alone near-future shorts. As a table top war game designer, I've written 'Zona Alfa' for Osprey Publishing, the upcoming 'When Nightmares Come', as well as several best selling indie games: 'Exploit Zero', its monster-hunting fantasy cousin, 'Nightwatch', and the alien-invasion 'Insurgent Earth.' Current projects include the post-apocalyptic fantasy 'Shattered Worlds' and a bit of dungeon crawl fiction, 'Five Torches'. I can be found online at Stalker7.com. A thousand thanks.
