L Extreme
Based on the Songs of Benji Hughes
Before he was the best songwriter you've never heard of, Benji Hughes was a normal lovelorn guy living in a small apartment on an okay side of town. His roommate C asks to hear the story of how Benji met his girlfriend L—but telling the story isn't so easy to do...
Combining the critically acclaimed albums A Love Extreme & LILILIL into a novel that's equal parts buddy comedy, love story, epic fantasy, and fictionalized biography every bit as eclectic as the source material that inspired it, L Extreme is probably the best album-oriented fan fiction you'll ever read.
Timely Persuasion
A Rock & Roll Time Travel Tale
Timely Persuasion follows an anonymous music critic on a quest to save his sister from the relationship that ended her life. Our hero uses his musical knowledge to “blink” through the years attempting to keep the couple apart by any means necessary. But is her husband Nelson really to blame?
Along the way he launches a new folk rock star, accidentally restructures his family tree, and finds that correlation and causation are not always what they seem. This story defies genre conventions while paying tribute to the classic time travel tales that came before it.
