He fancies himself a philosopher—an ancient one—and has gone by the name Socrates for so long that the women in his life wonder if he remembers his real name. It’s a predictable albeit lacking life, until he meets Miley in a misty dark alley. She tells him the idea drilled into her head, the one that’s making suicide seem sane because she can’t tell if that idea came from God or from Satan. His world is never the same after that. The whiskey, of course, still welcomes him with the twist of a cap.
Book 1 – Crosswinds
Miley, a suicidal hooker Socrates meets in a dark alley, is tormented by an idea that she knows came from either God or Satan, but she can’t determine which one. If it’s true, God would want her to tell the world to set things straight. If it’s false, Satan wants it told, hoping to destroy the faith of countless souls on Earth. She shares the idea with him, which snares him in that same damning trap, not allowing even death as a way out.

Book 2 – Crossovers
Socrates’s life gets a fresh upheaval when someone new invites herself to his bird-feeding ritual. Or is she from his very recent past? With Aspin, he retraces almost every experience he had with Miley in that single, rainy night. Everything she says and does maneuvers him toward a pivotal realization, something that he knew in his heart but had never said.
He needed to say it. And she’d risk killing him to hear it.
