Some heroes need help. A lot of help. All cultures have a legend of a Chosen One, a Messiah, a golden child who will be born to redeem them. But thirty-something Arby Keeling is not that guy, and Earthly Vessels is not that story. Through a mix-up in the great metaphysical switchboard of the universe, a ritual intended to incarnate a long-awaited deity results in Arby instead. He is special, though. So, when his unorthodox energy inevitably attracts attention, Arby finds himself hunted by some who fear he has come to usurp their powers-and sought by others who wish to enlist him as an ally.When a group of strangers gives him a crash course in navigating the ethereal planes, Arby's scientific skepticism gives way to his newfound knowledge. As he experiences the myriad ways the physical world interlocks with the more subtle planes of existence, Arby-and the world-gradually learns who he is. But with dark forces on his heels, he must step into his true self before the danger to him and his loved ones becomes deadly.

Toby wasn't ready to die in 2008-and wake up in 2088. 2088 wasn't ready for Toby either. Gen-X computer hacker Toby is a classic American: impulsive, irreverent, intelligent, and inventive. And, after a silly accident in 2008, he can add "inanimate" to the list-because Toby is dead. But only for a while. Eighty years later, medical science has advanced enough to bring Toby back to life. Welcome to Southern California, 2088. The skies are clean, but the rich-poor social gulf has widened. The biggest industries are entertainment and the prison system. Taxes have been cut - because the main source of government revenue is the confiscation of property. Many new, designer recreational drugs are legal, and many other drugs are mandatory. And while the US leads the world in cosmetic surgery, in most technologies America lags far behind... America has changed. Toby hasn't. And in the collision between America 2008 and America 2088, Toby brings the system to its knees-just by being his freedom loving, problem solving self. Read now and join Toby in Tomorrowville for love, sex, politics, and cyberspace-plus the occasional turbocharged wheelchair and robotic rat.
