Neighborhood Watch is Out

Neighborhood Watch, my collaboration with Haining, is out now!

Jill Hewett, community leader and wife of a respected police officer, has turned up with a gunshot wound in a tunnel connecting the Willow Haven Gated Community with the neighboring Open Arms Collective.

And now, the VP of the HOA and the Kitchen Steward of the Collective have stumbled upon her body at the exact same time—instantly casting blame across the divide.

Forced into an uneasy alliance to discover the truth, they’ll need to work together to uncover the secrets both communities hold to figure out who’s responsible for this crime—and what they could possibly gain from it. And what was Jill doing in that tunnel in the first place?

Texas, 2035.

Somewhere, deep in the Chihuahuan desert, military officials and state-sanctioned members of the free press attend the ribbon cutting ceremony for America’s first autonomous, off-the-grid, I.C.E. detention center.

(The necessity for such a facility arose in 2029, when the newly merged Democratic-Republican Party unanimously voted to dedicate the entirety of the lonestar state’s floundering power grid to the mining of cryptocurrency.)

As the generators are powered on, the electric thrum of the state-of-the-art equipment radiates deep into the earth, disturbing a colony of enormous, blind, carnivorous, subterranean snakes, sending them into a frenzy…and towards the surface.

A group of anarcho punks intent on taking the newly-opened facility down to free the detainees within approach as the sun goes down.

If infighting and situationship drama don’t keep the group from accomplishing their goal, they’ll be presented with one of two realities: an end at the hands of the state or the gnashing of teeth.

Is there really a difference?
