WEAPONS OF THE MIND
By Owen B Greenwald and Paul Kivelson
Book 1 in the Renegades Trilogy
When Enhancer Agent Tala Kreeth is framed for the murder of her squad, she finds herself hunted by the very organization she served, balanced on the razor edge between justice and vengeance. Her quest for truth will lead her to the very heart of the galaxy.
"The action alone would have kept me turning the pages...but Greenwald and Kivelson, in their seamlessly blended and masterful prose, add real moral and emotional depth to the action. Their obvious care for this fully realized world becomes the reader’s."
-Michael Macrone, author of Brush Up Your Shakespeare!
"An exciting, full-throttle romp through an imaginative new science fiction universe."
-Jonathan Fortin, author of Lilitu: The Memoirs of a Succubus
"A must-read for fans of the genre who crave a richly layered narrative filled with moral dilemmas, suspense, and unforgettable characters."

MIDSUMMER NIGHT
A two-act play by Owen B Greenwald and William Shakespeare
Weston award winner—Brown University playwright of the year 2015
Four lovers to the woods are bound tonight.
With them, a would-be actor’s company.
And crossing from the wings, a fairy queen,
Who, passive as she was ‘neath flower’s sway,
In her dissent, wove vengeful virelay.
A new spin on an age-old story, Midsummer Night seamlessly melds William Shakespeare’s timeless writing with original, Elizabethan-style prose. In this reimagining of the Bard’s most beloved comedy, responsibility, agency, and trust take center stage—and mortals and fairies alike must earn their happy endings.
CHECKMATE
By Owen B Greenwald
Book Six in the Big Bet series
No more games. The Mafia wants the CPC dead, and it wants them dead yesterday.
Jason and the gang see only one way out: fake their deaths and flee the country. That kind of deception works best if you don’t let anyone in on it, but some of the CPC are unwilling to leave their lives behind without a trace. And unbeknownst to Jason, one final enemy is waiting in the wings to make his move.
This is the end of Jason’s story. But it’s also the beginning.

TOO MUCH ACTION
By Owen B Greenwald
Book Five in the Big Bet series
The CPC’s fragile truce with the Mafia has been shattered, and the gang is in big trouble. They’ve received an ultimatum: pay their debts in cash, or in blood. Naturally, Jason would rather pay cash.
But the discovery of an underground fighting ring may not be as fortuitous as it appears. Sure, it offers an opportunity to raise the money quickly. On the other hand, Kira’s battle lust is getting harder to temper. And the opportunity to fight for a crowd may well push her over the edge…

BULLSEYE
By Owen B Greenwald
Book Three in the Big Bet series
If you try and kill Jason Jorgensen, you’d better make sure he’s dead. That was the Mafia’s first mistake. Now the CPC is engaged in a covert war against their operations. Slowly but surely, Jason, Addie, Kira, and Z are whittling away at their senior members.
But there’s only so much they can do before the Mafia takes off their gloves and strikes back for real. And when they do, the CPC will be tested to the brink—both from without, and within.

Following his successful rigging of Roxy’s poker game, Jason is living large. But a genius’s life is never boring, and Jason is approached by a mysterious patron with a job: rig a college basketball game in Las Vegas.

Needless to say, Jason plans on passing.
