This site is for the sale of signed paperback versions of Spencethology (Book 5), and links to other stories/books I write.
The works at this time are the Spence and Nameless books/anthology and the Charlieverse short stories about Charlie the hero black cat, and other tales from that universe.
Please note that I retain all ownership of my stories/books, unless otherwise noted. Please contact me for more information.
Eventually, if I feel there is a demand, there may be other merchandise, (eg: coffee cups/etc)
The prices here will be the same as the Amazon prices. The paperbacks will be ordered by me from Amazon, and suitably inscribed, inside the front cover. I will then mail them via USPS, and provide a tracking number. Shipping cost has gone up. Sorry… it costs more than it used to.

Ordered some inexpensive biz cards. I have opportunities to r/l shill my books, and no one has a pen. Analog text message time!

A short bit of impressions and words kind of about the power outage.

From SPENCE:
——
Charlie – Beginning of the Charlieverse.
Welcome to the Charlieverse.
The first real non-Spence scrivens.
From a random thought about a can of tuna falling on your head, to a story about a black cat who was a big damn hero.
Charlie is a black cat. Seth is his best friend. ‘Charlie’ is the first story about a very special cat. Be prepared, this will induce feels.
Just to clarify, the ‘A Charlie Tail’ appended to a title indicates a story where Charlie is a direct character. Other stories that take place in the Charlieverse that do not have that in the name, indicate a story without Charlie directly in it.
Counting ‘Charlie’, there are currently 4 short stories.
I’d love to be able to release a Charlieverse collection, but much more needs to be written. 🙂
Go here for more information on the story.
——
‘Gleeno – A Charlie Tail’ (Charlieverse 2).
A testimonial, of sorts, from someone who met Charlie.
Currently published.
Go here for more information.
——
‘What The Cat Dragged In’ (Charlieverse 3).
Meet Donnie and Yuri, two new denizens of the Charlieverse.
Soon (Summer/Fall 2024) to be published!
Go here for more information.
——
‘A Friend For Tea – A Charlie Tail’ – (Charlieverse 4).
Charlie attends a tea party.
Currently unpublished.
Go here for more information.

WHAT IS ALL THIS?
About Spence and Nameless.
Whatever you do, never get between a man and his cat.
Spence and Nameless started out as a standalone short story that I wrote in about 3 hours one night when I didn’t feel well, and got up to sit in my comfy chair, and browse the Interwebs on my phone, as one does.
Shortly after I sat down, my boss-lady cat Taz set her not-insignificant self in my lap, and started purring. One thing led to another, and Spence, now Chapter 1 of Book 1, was done.
I shared it on on Facebook. People seemed to like it! The only thing was that they kept asking me ‘What happens next, Daev?’, and I didn’t have an answer.
Soooo … I started working on more. Got up to 4 chapters, and realized that I had the makings of a book.

Book 1: Spence https://a.co/d/fqVjPCA
Nameless is just a fella who values his solitude. His only companion is a big ol’ orange and white tabby cat named Spence. They are just livin’ the life, out in their shack outside town, ‘Close enough so it ain’t so bad to get supplies, and far enough out soz no one bothers much, and the sky is open at night.’
Until one day, when Spence disappears … and things get really fecked up.
Whatever you do, never get between a man and his cat.

Nameless and Spence, life on the beach.
Doesn’t get much better than that.
Settled in a bungalow on the coast in Mexico. Just trying to get back to a peaceful routine.
“Specially after that big mess up north.’ Until one day, when a stranger pulls ashore on their beach … and things get really fecked up.
Whatever you do, never get between a cat and his Girl.

Aloha. A small word that means hello and good-bye. Spence and Nameless say aloha to some good friends, and set off on the road…
Until one day, when things go sideways … and things get really fecked up.
Whatever you do, never get between a cat and his familia.
——
Book 4: Puppets https://a.co/d/ccieitV
There was an idea put out on the net once that an all-powerful artificial intelligence would get revenge on anyone who didn’t help it come into being.
Scary stuff.
But what if that Al was insane?

Whatever you do, never get between a Goddess and Her flock.

What happened to Spence’s ear?

We have that, straight from the cat’s not-speak.
The other side of the portal?
You may not really want to know, but yes.
Portal scary! Will Venti read me a story?
Aww. Poor thing. Yes. Yes she will!
