A Thousand Stars Explode in the Sky
On a farm in the North East of England a family gathers. Five brothers and four generations feature in an epic play about hope, love, fear and the very end of time. A Thousand Stars Explode in the Sky is a refreshingly subtle and compassionate vision of the world on the edge of apocalypse. Within a cosmological context, the focus is on a single family, their relations with each other and their unreconciled regrets, soon to become permanent. With an ensemble of strong, engaging characters, there are knotty, realistic family dynamics and a palimpsest of recent family history. The characters and dialogue are naturalistic but the serious themes are elucidated and alleviated with humour and quirky, surreal touches. The play represents a unique collboration between three of the UK's pre-eminent stage writers. The ambition of the partnership is matched by the ambition of the play's sweeping scope. Whilst the three voices collide, they also ring out individually without sacrificing the piece's coherent wholeness, and the play represents a rare, fascinating study in stage collaboration.
The Old Timers - Jenkins Web
In the year 2010, Carl and Roy Mosley were moved and hidden inside the future—year 2056—by the strong hand of the Old Timers using a fake government protection program that went wrong. Lamenting over their lost families held in the past, the brothers soon discover that somebody is providing them clues on how to illegally regain their freedom by traveling east into Waterville, Iowa. This story is set in an era where time travel, using firearms, cloning anything, driving cars, or traversing any wild territory across the Mississippi River are all dangerous and illegal. Breaking any of these laws is punishable by death, but Monster Land keeps growing larger and has recently crossed the west side of the Mississippi, spreading westward toward their residences in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Enjoy twenty chapters of nonstop action played out in just one long day as the Mosley Brothers break all the laws and travel into Monster Land to regain their freedom.

Old Haunts
‘Insidious’ meets ‘The Three Stooges’ Introducing Roy Bingham, Bruce Suffolk, and Kenneth Dristan: three ex-cons with a new lease on life. Ghost-hunting is their latest hustle, all for the sake of their YouTube show, 'Is it Real?' Things are looking up; the show's a hit, and their social presence is skyrocketing. But knowing viewer loyalty only stretches so far, Roy is more than aware that all good things can come to a crashing end, especially when every place they scope turns out to be a hoax. He wants more. Ken wants to fake it. Bruce wants a beer and a nap. A cryptic and anonymous text out of the blue, claiming to have access to the real deal, along with talk of a 'cursed stash of cash,' has Roy more than a little excited. Kicking and screaming, his colleagues are coerced into coming along for the ride, a terrifying odyssey into a horrific world of ghosts, demons and alternate dimensions.
Pythonesque
"The story of dead-as-a-proverbial-parrot Graham Chapman's attempts to get into heaven, having to justify the 'Life of Brian' along the way, using both biographical and surreal sketches. An affectionate if twisted look at the history of the Monty Python Six... and how they came to conquer the known comedic world using silly voices, sillier animation and an ever sillier great big foot. Not to mention the llamas..."--Back cover.
Walking to the Valley in the Sky
This is a story of love and struggle in 1876 America about a family nearly penniless traveling west on the Oregon trail in search of a better life like countless thousands of families who went before them. This is a story about the Leland family and how they interact with their fellow travelers and how they deal with and overcome the harsh realities of the Trail. The arguments and violent tempers within their group, the violence they are subjected to by others, and the insecurity they must live with after the massacre of the 7th Cavalry.

Just like Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley, Roy is a man who lives to deceive—and everything about Betty suggests she's an easy mark. He's confident that his scheme to swindle her will be a success. After all, he's done this before. As this remarkable feat of storytelling weaves together Roy's and Betty's futures, it also unwinds the past. Dancing across more than half a century—decades that encompass unthinka...
