The Truth of a Kaleidoscope Mind
Upcoming on Oct. 29, 2024 from Wicked Ink
When Fredrick Michael Anderson’s mother passes away, he cleans her house and readies it for auction. In the cellar, Fredrick finds his childhood diary and discovers entries he can’t remember writing—entries that reveal his father was molesting and beating him. Fredrick’s sudden perspective on his missing childhood memories, depression, and suicide attempts usher him into a new life in which he discovers he has Dissociative Identity Disorder.
However, these psychological steps forward are met with supernatural resistance. A demon who looks like his mother appears, threatening him not to reveal the family’s dark secrets. As Fredrick cleans out the cellar, he discovers evidence of greater and greater secrets: séances, demon-summoning, and membership in the KKK. Fredrick’s concept of his childhood shatters, and the demon haunting him grows violent, shoving him down the stairs, hurling furniture, and threatening his life.
As Fredrick fights the demon for his right to understand his childhood and family, he partners with a second entity: a mysterious ghost dressed like a flapper who leaves him tarot cards every day, pointing him to the larger truth. Fredrick must discover all his family’s secrets before the demon kills him to stop his journey of self-discovery and healing.

The God Slayers
Upcoming in July 2025 from Wicked Ink
In the year 2095, Kenzie Okuda escapes the oppressive theocracy of the United Republic of America to attend college in the U.S. His freedom balances on his scholarship to a magic university in Louisville, Kentucky. Although the URA considers magic an abomination to God, the U.S. has discovered that magic is a science. Kenzie fights to maintain his scholarship so he can have access to pants, haircuts, and other rights U.S. transmen have, including gender-affirming surgery.
Then an unknown magician summons a Satan-like entity on campus, and every time this entity appears, it injures people. Rev. John Paul Smith, Jr., the supreme religious ruler of the URA, arrives at Kenzie’s campus to analyze “Satan.” He immediately launches his far-right ideological invasion of the U.S., spewing sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia. Kenzie’s freedom, and the entire U.S.’s religious freedom, are threatened. And no one understands that better than Kenzie and his two roommates from the URA, Moriah and Rachel. Kenzie and his friends must find and stop the magician making “Satan” before students are killed and the URA culturally conquers the U.S., thereby destroying Kenzie’s newfound liberty.
