THE 86TH PRECINCT

Officers Lou Tagalafarri - Brooklyn all over, and Officer Jon Oliver - an athletic black man with a deep well of patience, are the first to recognize Seamus Bingham for what he is . . . but it takes a little longer for them to believe it.

Witty and charismatic Seamus (with some brand new skin) wants to get back what was once his, and claim some revenge on the city the city that hanged him while he's at it. Aided by his crew of Grays - a collection of downtown hipsters and Russian mobsters he's sucked all the life out of, his 21st-Century crime spree unfolds very well.

But being the living dead, Seamus starts to fall apart, literally. Lou and Jon of the 86th Precinct discover the key to why, and how he came back. They've become the only cops that can save New York from Seamus and his gang of cadavers . . . they're the only cops that have found the true weakness of the living dead.

DEEP CAYUGA

Karl Vincennes, a dot com entrepreneur gone bust, and his wife June take over an old ramshackle family cabin on the shore of Cayuga Lake, in the Finger Lakes of upstate New York.

Karl sets out to write the novel he always thought he should have - another plan to make it big. June gets a job. There is something out there in the lake, though. There are some terrible secrets in the deep Cayuga, actually. Karl and an unwitting Cornell professor even catch a lake monster . . . but that's just the beginning of finding out what's really down there, and finding out who Karl Vincennes really is.

TWILIGHT TOWN

Jake Delecroix has crashed. He's totaled his Harley Sportster. And totaled his leg. His life is almost a complete wipeout, anyway.

Jake is a writer, of sorts. But it's going nowhere. His only ambition is selling the falling-apart house his dead parents have left him. Until he meets Grace.

Jake may have found the salvation he desperately needed. But Grace betrays him. At least, Jake thinks so. He may be seriously mistaken.

As a quest to find some sense of it all, he goes along with another writer, an ancient Thaddeus Nicodemus, to find the spot in Pennsylvania where the great novelist John Gardner wiped out on his motorcycle. The place is Binghamton, an ugly and backward upstate New York city cast in half shadow.

But is Jake dead?

BLACK HOLE DIARY
(wga east #177565)

Sometimes it kills to be right.

Kyle Monde, a young Nobel Prize-winning physicist, has discovered a way to open up universe bridging wormholes in the quantum foam inside a black hole.

He soon embarks on a journey to the other side, only to kill himself and his crew in the process. But thanks to the nature of black holes, Kyle Monde gets to do it again, and again, until he can do it right.

BILLY ARCANE
(wga east #114804)

In the heat and heart of New Orleans, a young Lakota/Sioux Jesuit named Lee Wakinyan discovers he has gained a deep spiritual power from his mix of Christianity-the religion he has chosen-and traditional Lakota Shamanism-the religion in his bones.

Something wants this power . . . a foul-mouthed, soul-stealing punker-looking demon named Billy Arcane. When he crosses paths with Lee, Billy discovers the Jesuit shaman is the only person alive that can see what Billy really is.

When Jesuit priests are horribly murdered at his Novitiate in Billy's botched attempt to get at Lee's soul, Lee flees for home - the reservation at Pine Ridge, South Dakota. (Something he swore he'd never do.) There he teams up with his father, Sam Nightdog, a Lakota shaman who's maintained Lee was a wishasha wakan - a real shaman - all along. Lee's hell-raiser brother, Ray, is brought into the spiritual fold, too. Though he's a lot of trouble, they need him.

Billy Arcane tracks them all down. But the only souls of Wakinyan family that Billy can get are the easiest to take . . . unborn twins of Lee's twin sister.

This, of course, is an act of war on the Wakinyan. Using the ancient Lakota Yuwipi ceremony and an ailing Ford Thunderbird, the father and sons become a holy-man trinity taking their chase all the way into Hell to seek revenge on Billy, get their family back, and carry out a plan that greater powers seem to have chosen them for-exorcise this demon so he will die. And boy, does Billy Arcane die.

With Band
(wga east #132358)

A rock and roll band forms, plays and dies in a place called the City. (New York, deep underground.) The story depicts a world that we think we know, but only our band is brave enough and boneheaded enough to really get us there. It's a drama with a comic, surrealistic edge, and each member of the band shines as a full, engaging character. When it all finally blows up, the true test becomes how musician answers to his muse. Or doesn't.

Dark Eagle 13
(wga east #124597)

Enter the XB13 - a top secret super stealth that literally has a mind of its own. In a feat of mid-air piracy, this confused fighter/bomber becomes the tool of a grief-stricken Air Force Colonel as he calls in a political and "moral" debt. Colonel Lukas Ledyard wants one billion, or he'll shoot the XB13's nuclear-armed Tomahawk cruise missiles into the heart of Paris. But what does Ledyard really want? Will he really go through with nuking millions? The Pentagon is deathly afraid he will. They know the Colonel too well.

Enter a man with a dark history with the stealth - Major John Wacker. Johnny is brought back from a (dis) honorable discharge to lead a covert team to hack into the brain of the XB13, and bring the stealth home with the nukes before the clock dings. Unfortunately, things don't go well in Johnny and his team's mission. Then, things have never gone well between the XB13 and Major Johnny Wacker. But even with some of his team turned against him, Johnny risks it all with amazing mid-air piracy of his own to save the City of Lights.

Project 88
(wga east #115802)

A biological weapons accident happens in a Northeastern town. Two scientists have goofed-up big time with their brew, causing a huge explosion and bad news for the DNA structure of every human for miles. Pink Flakes fall from the sky, mutating everyone they touch. The town is quarantined, and the scientists try and deal with the horrible process of their own genetic alteration while they search for a cure.

What's more, a huge monster is on the loose - the Trigamitron - a pink, seven hundred pound collection of three young boys DNA and whomever else's head it can suck off. The Trigamitron hobbles around the town chanting the mantra, "Get some, get some more..." In the end, a cure is found, but it's too late. We find the accident was planned, and a political conspiracy reveals itself. The Trigamitron - which now contains one of the scientists, thunders to Washington for revenge.
