“An unlikely collision between William Burroughs, J.G. Ballard, and Robert Heinlein”
Rebellion erupts on the “paradise” planet of Elysia, plunging the colony into chaos.

The secrets Barber and his soldiers uncover lead them to question the true meaning of freedom in a world where nothing is what it seems.
Koontown Killing Kaper
by Bill Campbell
978-0-9891411-0-9
All the rappers in Koontown are being killed, and everybody thinks it’s vampire crack babies doing the killing. Now, it is up to ex-super model/ex-homicide detective/private eye, Genevieve Noire, to save the day. Described as “the Invisible Man of the Hip-Hop Generation,” Koontown is a gleeful evisceration of the social tropes, stereotypes, and conspiracy theories running rampant in today’s popular culture.”
