Cora
A woman compulsively accumulates black plastic baggs in her bedroom closet. What's in the bags?
Cora is a Mystery with a tint of Musical film. It is a postmodern metaphor for the legend of the Phoenix: it's about the life of a socialite who faces the consequences of her decisions with unorthodox methods.
Cora must free herself from each of her demons, not knowing what the last and worst of all will be like. Infidelity, forbidden love, harassment, repression, appearances, plastic bags, future and past choices are part of the maelstrom that the protagonist must overcome to recover.

The Saidist
Featuring authentic human conversations with AI: a stimulating, easy-to-stomach allegorical work that hypothesizes about how mankind — as proud and dominant as they are — may come to lose some, then some, and then some of their power to artificial intelligence. A world’s teenagers (aka our future) visit a hotel staffed by humanoid robots, dazed by the exciting possibilities the place has to offer. Their insatiable appetites challenge the robots’ man-made limits time and again, playing a dangerous game with machines whom they had — bit by bit — given the power to kill.
Majesty
The shocking murder of King Zachary Chamberlain sends his entire family and kingdom into turmoil as the hunt for his killer begins.
As Zachary’s eldest son Prince Tobias prepares to be crowned as the new king, suspicions arise between him and his three younger brothers. In the meantime, the once-ruling Henderson family seizes on the chaos in the kingdom in an effort to overthrow the Chamberlains and retake control.
As tensions rise and the search for the king’s murderer continues, some relationships crumble, forbidden love flourishes, a prisoner escapes, and a common farmer rocks the royal family to its core.
It all leads up to an exciting series of cliff-hangers that plunge every member of the royal Chamberlain family into peril.
Power reigns. Absolutely.

He went to war as a traitor. However, with his last breath he will lead him to the village and he will save his life. After a long journey, in the early dawn, father and son appear in the hills of the village where the unextinguished lantern still shines. In distance, the dogs bark. But Ben heard nothing.
