Middle-Aged Man in a Trashcan is released

 

Join Joe, Nobuyuki, and Sancho Tom in adventures Fothrought the multiverse of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Middle-Aged Man in a Trashcan was released June 25th, 2025 from Wild Rose Press.  The book has been decribed as fast, quirky, and heartbreaking.

Joe's lived here all his life, but he's not from around here. Street names are different, landmarks lie, and even money shows presidents he's never known. Some versions of Fort Wayne, Indiana are apocalyptic wastelands; others harbor darker secrets. When trouble strikes, Joe opens a trash can and tears a rift in reality. Inside lies a void where he glimpses the multiverse and rides unknown currents to another Fort Wayne, hoping this one might finally feel like home. With each crossing, his memories slip away. Only Nobuyuki, his shape-shifting kitsune companion, remains constant, and they are hiding secrets about Joe's past that he may never remember. In a multiverse where the next trash can might lead to salvation or doom, Joe must find his way back before he forgets what home is.

Locations of Elta

 The Dark Cry of Aristid

There are two places of danger in Elta:


The Witches Forest. A place of foreboding where the souls of witches put to the stake dwell. Some nights you can hear them call, glimpses of them watching you between the trees, and voices bidding you to join them. Generations have been warned to stay away, but yet, every year someone disappears.




The Delerium Forest is opposite of the witches forest in Elta. A place of madness and transformation for lost travelers. The Allfather created it as a defense of the White Citadel, but as his magic became twisted, so did the effects of the forest. After the Allfather's seizure, all secured routes through the forest closed. Trapping the inhabitants of Elta.


Then far away from Elta is the White Citadel.  Home of the Allfather and the seat of power for Valrborjn.  As the current Allfather wanes, waiting to pass beyond the veil, a search is prepared to find the new Allfather.


The Dark Cry of Aristid is now available through Amazon on Kindle, paperback, and hardback:
