From the author of Zone Trip comes a bold tale of survival, identity, and the price of secrecy.
From her office window on St. Columba, Gemma gazes out at the mysterious pleasure island just beyond the reef. Owned by country music legend Cowboi Rivers, the exclusive retreat lures the world’s wealthy and powerful with promises of secrecy and illicit pleasures. Meanwhile, the locals keep their distance, wary of the wild parties and whispered rumors of drugs and disappearing girls.
Desperate to escape her dead-end job, Gemma seizes a risky opportunity to captain the sailing vessel Mariposa for Cowboi’s shadowy empire. She finds herself swept into a world of corrupt elites. When a cocaine pickup in the Dominican Republic spirals into a deadly double-cross, Gemma and her crew enlist the aid of a voodoo priestess, the ghost of a hard-drinking mariner, and a rhumba-loving boat boy to escape. With her enemies closing in, Gemma sails toward Cuba, facing a storm that threatens to push her over the edge.
Day Drinkers is where the American dream washes ashore.

Anarchist impresario Leo wages war on Bay Area Big Tech with his guerrilla art organization, the Chaos Order. After being arrested for sabotaging the virtual reality company HERE's property, Leo's closest followers, Evan and Lydia, take two different paths. Evan joins HERE to avoid legal consequences and to bring the spirit of the Chaos Order to the default world through a revolutionary immersive narrative game. Lydia plunges deeper into her relationship with the increasingly unstable Leo, whose revenge against Evan brings the Order into rising conflict with HERE. Told from Evan's and Lydia's alternating points of view, Zone Trip weaves through Leo's psychological manipulation of his followers, Evan's defection to the enemy's side, and the devastating consequences of Lydia's love for the Pan-like Leo.
Zone Trip is a unique technothriller that explores the intersection of society, technology, and protest. Inside, you will find a fast-moving plot and characters that are well-drawn and emotionally appealing.
“With the tech world currently waging a war on the arts, this book couldn't have come at a better time. Smart, thoughtful, searing, and fantastically written, ZONE TRIP acts as a call to the questions we need to be asking.”
Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse
Zone Trip Vol. 1
This is not just a collection of covers. It's a detour through the weird backroads that shaped Zone Trip. Moody, raw, and beautifully off-kilter, it channels love for disruption and divine nonsense. It's the kind of mixtape you find in an abandoned car and play without asking why.
