To My Only Son
Henry is a secret agent. At least, he wishes he was. He works in the basement at the FBI in a windowless file room, a place nobody ever goes and a place nobody knows exists. His job is to guard the room, and his only directive is this: don’t read the files.
​
Henry read the files.
​
They’re all conspiracies. From aliens to assassinations to attempted global domination by evil corporations, and yes, they’re all true.
​
But Henry just doesn’t care. It’s a way for him to pass the time at his mundane job and cope with his depressing life.
​
Then one day Henry reads a file linking a conspiracy to the tragedy in his own life. He decides to investigate and record everything in a book to his son, vowing to uncover the truth, take vengeance on those responsible, and maybe even become the secret agent he always wanted to be.
​
To My Only Son follows one man and his search for answers to the unexplainable: unspoken grief, unfulfilled ambition, and of course, conspiracy.
God and Todd
Meet Todd.
He is thirty-three years old, but also seven, and he loves movies. Todd has the mind of a seven-year-old, and he always will. A childhood accident left Todd stunted, without the ability to express himself clearly, and only one person truly understands him.
God.​
The Almighty speaks to Todd and gives him a mission: to repair the broken relationships of his friends and family. In a small town ripped apart by tragedy and violence, God uses Todd, the most unlikely of heroes.
God and Todd spans the imagination and faith of a boy who never grew up as he confronts the deep questions of his existence: movies, comics, King Arthur, American society, religion, broken dreams, his purpose to the people in his orbit, and of course, his relationship with God.
