Part comedy, part grief narrative, In the Key of Dale is a disarming coming-of-age novel about a queer teen music prodigy who discovers pieces of himself in places he never thought to look. Sixteen-year-old Dale Cardigan is a loner who’s managed to make himself completely invisible at his all-boys high school. He doesn’t fit with his classmates (whom he gives nicknames in his head), his stepbrother (whom nobody at school knows he’s related to), or even his mother (who never quite sees how gifted a musician Dale might be)—but they don’t fit with him, either. And he’s fine with that. To him, high school and home are stages to endure until his real life can finally begin. Somewhat against his will, he befriends his classmate Rusty, who gets a rare look at Dale’s complex life outside school, but their friendship is made awkward when Dale is uncertain whether his growing attraction to Rusty is one-sided. Still, it’s to Rusty that Dale turns when he stumbles upon a family secret that shakes everything he thought he knew. An epistolary novel written in the form of letters to his late father, In the Key of Dale is a beguiling, pitch-perfect book about growing up, fitting in, and finding a way out of grief and loneliness toward the melodic light of adulthood.

When Kent Murdock, news cameraman who doubles as a private eye, steps into a case there’s always plenty of fast talk and fast action. But even Kent didn't bargain for the singing slugs and flying fists that dogged his trail in the bedroom murder of New York’s most beautiful radio writer -- who handed out keys to her apartment like a salesman hands out samples. It was only reasonable that Kent should be trailed by trouble -- for this time he was both detective and chief suspect! And that was reasonable, too, for he had shared the death-bed with the lovely corpse -- and there were pictures to prove it!

All Dale McAndrew wanted was his doctorate in Alternate World Studies. His plan seemed simple; find the quantum signature for one of the lost books of Livy, travel through a worm hole to the library that has the book, and take the book back to Earth. Instead he finds himself trapped on a world where Rome never fell and now rules a galactic empire. High school athletes fight in the arena with electronic scoring swords, spears, nets, and tridents. Dale struggles to adapt to his environment while searching for a way to escape back to Earth. All the while becoming more involved with the romance between the number one rated gladiator and the school's head cheerleader.
