This was the first concept cover for my unfinished historical novel "The Setting Sun." Set during the turbulent Bakumatsu period of Japan, this story follows a low level American Diplomatic Translator who is sent to rescue a group of shipwrecked American Industrialists and escort them to Edo Castle for negotiations. Unbeknownst to our protagonist William Merrick he is being set up in order to fullfill an arms deal to overthrow the Shogunate in Edo. Political intrigue and Samurai Drama set this story amidst the opening rounds of the Boshin War of Japan. As far as the story's completion goes I am currently stalled on it until I can physically go to Japan to the actual locations where my climax takes place near Hakone. I hope to finish it so I can move on to it's sequel set at the Battle of Hakodate.

Conceptual Cover Art for the yet completed novel The Depths of Echoes. Based on a series of nightmares I have created a ghost story that starts in 1980 aboard Flight KAL 007 and takes an unusual twist to a much earlier tragedy that is only revealed in the story's climax that takes place aboard a mystery frieghter docked in modern day New York City.

Gate Runner is a concept project that is uncompleted and slated for work at a later time. This story is intended for the big screen as an action packed Science Fiction film that fits in that genre of bad ideas that should never be attemped. This story starts as a missing persons investigation that leads to a ressurected Defense Project that went horribly wrong. Recently discovered backup files help ressurect the project that has now been turned into a deadly game by a group of undergraduates flirting with death and quantum physics that could lead to deadly consequenses to both history and the present.

I liked the Escape from LA concept but they chose to stick with Clint Eastwood.
