Split
John wants to live a normal life: go to school, hang out with his best friend, Jerry, and figure out how to make the new girl, Claire, fall in love with him. But when he suddenly gets an email from his own split personality - who calls himself "Evan" - normal moves a little out of reach. What first seems like a crazy chance to experiment with personality and identity starts to take a dark turn as John begins to realize that his other "self" might want more than he initially let on.

Firestarter
A dead mother. An emotionally unstable father. A failing marriage. A flailing career. And environmental disaster. As everything in Daniel's life falls apart, an opportunity arises that seems like the answer to all of those problems. He just has to learn to let things burn.

Dan Quincy, or The Brilliant Investigator Dan Quincy of Nashville, Tennessee
Dan is an ordinary mail room attendant - until a nightmarish visit by the arch-nemesis of his favorite private detective sends Dan crashing into a new career and a new life filled with crime-solving, murder-avenging, and teenage-delivery-boy-attack-surviving. Like the quixotic pair that inspired this journey into infamy, Dan and his trusty companion, Poncho, seek out, find, and solve (maybe) the mystery of a suspicious murder in the upper echelons of Nashvillian real estate.

A Peculiar Christmas Story
When a disembodied voice pops into Alexander Prudge's life on Christmas Eve, he discovers that he's somehow become a part of a very familiar, very peculiar tale of morality and humanity. He knows the story well, but what he doesn't know is... why him?
In Bloom
On September 9, 1957, sixteen first graders became the first black children to integrate into Nashville schools. Early the next morning, an explosion at one of those schools tore apart Rose Clark's life before she even had a chance to live it. Inspired by true events, In Bloom is the story of a woman's struggle to understand her family's part in one of the most historically important eras of American history.
