CHEMO

'With tooth and claw, with Gun and Blade I've come.' So begins the 8th battle Hymn, a biofeedback device Agent Joseph recites daily. Recruited by the paramilitary cult/secret society CHEMO, Joseph and his fellow agents fight 'cancers of the body of mankind:' everything from insane telekinetics to memetic pathogens masquerading as ad campaigns to a lovecraftian abomination budding in the deepest, blackest trench of the Pacific ocean.

Through every mission he will rely on his conditioning, his growing ruthlessness and the support and guidance of the man who saved his life when he was a know nothing civilian - Master Agent Burke. But when Burke is forcibly inducted into the all-as-one hive mind, Joseph -and the organization he reluctantly serves- will have to face the most dangerous enemy imaginable.

CHEMO: How I Learned to Kill is an action horror/science fiction novel in the literary tradition of Beowulf, the X-Files and Rob Zombie lyrics. It is complete at around 84000 words. I'm pursuing traditional publication while experimenting with publishing some of the related short stories and novelettes.

In CHEMO: The Condemned, an inexperienced Joseph and a squad of other rookie Agents are tasked with reclaiming a prison complex overrun by zombies. I'm running a 2 for 1 special for this 7500 word Novelette over at Smashwords. If you like what you read, Email me your receipt and I'll respond with coupon code for an additional copy you can give to a friend.

(Note: I also have a version available in the Amazon/Kindle bookstore, but unfortunately I'm unable via their system. Smashwords does distributes ebooks in every format, but I completely understand if it is simply easier for you to buy from Amazon. Versions for ibookstore, Nook store etc are all pending.)

Additionally, there are podcast versions of  CHEMO: The Condemned and CHEMO: The Town of Golden Woods (The story starts at about the 22 minute mark) via the awesome team of the Dunesteef audio fiction magazine. Also, Julie at 19 Nocturne Boulevard did a radio play adaptation of CHEMO: The Town of Golden Woods.

If you have a free minute; comments, reviews and every other form of feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
