Mike's Manuscripts

Here are sample chapters from books I am either currently writing or trying to get published.  The book covers were mostly an excuse to practice my Photoshop skills.

SHEN

This is the book I am editing right now and I am having trouble classifying it.  I suppose it would be considered a sci-fi / fantasy story.  It begins with 7 people experiencing their own totally unrelated deaths and then waking up to find themselves on the doorsteps of the ancient Egyptian concept of the Afterlife.  Now they have to work together to survive the dangerous journey through the Underworld while simultaneously trying to figure out if this is all real or some sort of elaborate simulation.

THE PORTAL

A science fiction book.  The first in a series about three people who find themselves transported into the middle of a futuristic, high tech war that they are accused of starting.  Beginning as captives on both sides of the conflict, Ben, Joel, and Gina must travel to different worlds through a mysterious phenomenon called the Portal and solve the mystery of what started the war and how they became involved.

This book is complete but I am planning to heavily rewrite it before I send it out to publishers.

MEZZIS: Part 2 of the Portal

The second part in the Portal series.  I have written the entire outline of this book and about a 4th of the chapters.  I decided to stop working on the Portal stories for now while I finish Shen and wait to see if I can get Portal published.

REVISIONIST HISTORY: Part 3 of the Portal

The third (and possibly final) part in the Portal series.  I promise I wasn't trying to be cheesy and make a trilogy... it just worked out that way.  I have written the basic premise and part of the outline for this one.
