Is Fable the only way to write fiction in a scientific age? Science breeds a desire for reality. So what place does fiction have in a world dominated by facts? The answer is to satisfy our still compelling need for fantasy...to imagine what isn't yet real.

TREASON
A political satire on government by law-enforcement: an experimental community without permanent governmental structure is caught by state authorities and criminally investigated.
    “Excuse me, but where is the Mayor’s office?” Mr. Jones queried of a passing person.
 “We don’t have a Mayor,” the woman replied.
“What do you mean ‘you don’t have a Mayor’? This is a town, isn’t it? I saw a sign that said ‘Bentley’ on my way in.”
“That’s right. This is Bentley. But we don’t have a Mayor.”
“You are incorporated as a town, aren’t you?”
“You mean do we have a license to be a town? Yes.”
 The absence of government feels as shaky as an earthquake. The state investigation begins. This strange encounter between bureaucrats and visionaries is told as a comedic parody of bureaucracy, revealing the power games that hierarchy encourages people to play underneath the protocol and outward appearance of their public duties. It exposes the estrangement people feel from the enforcement of law as a way to govern.
     What will become of this experiment? Will this threatening power vacuum be devoured by bureaucracy?
    The outcome hangs in the balance. The visionaries might ironically suggest that it will be decided by who can drive fastest down a path precisely as wide as a car without killing the flowers growing on either side.
     In Treason’s utopian fable Don Fenn brings the visionary qualities of his science fiction down to Earth to intersect with the antiquated political practices of this world. What happens if bureaucracy finds some place it doesn’t exist?

PERSEPHONE
Persephone follows the tradition of the fable—as in the writings of Italo Calvino. What happens in the mythical town of Respite, Nebraska brings a new twist to the Persephone myth. Fenn captures a world where fate and destiny quietly govern. He blends myth with revealing psychological insights about the conflicting desires and difficulties of small town life. He offers a glimpse of strange happenings—are the sisters really witches? Have they put a spell on the community? Fantasy melts into mystery. Intriguing compelling ideas to be read at the speed of light.
     Brenda, the Persephone of this story battles with the devilish Samantha who desperately wants to control this town that’s been lost in time. Brenda must overcome the cynicism produced by adult abuse to find, and be found by her Demeter. This meeting must be capable of salvaging her life from the Hades into which she has been betrayed and discarded.
     Is it possible to resurrect hope in what has already died?
