The Sandal of Jesus

By Dave Taylor and Scott Thorson

In the Deep South in 1975, Alex Oborsky, a Russian-born doctor, opens an abortion clinic. He is ill-prepared for what he encounters: Sign-waving protesters calling him “Baby Killer,” mysterious phone calls in the middle of the night, a brick through his car windshield, and finally, a fusillade of gunshots that change his life. His born-again Christian nurse, Julie, slowly guides him back to health and sanity, and toward the loving embrace of Jesus — and the repudiation of his baby-murdering ways. But in his journey of self-discovery, which includes numerous meetings with Christ Himself, Alex must confront a key question: Is it really Jesus he seeks? Or is it just Julie’s big rack? About 50,000 words.

Nautilus

Slingshot back to 19th-century New York in a 22nd-century anti-matter submarine called Nautilus. The crew consists of backstabbers, schemers, plotters, one psycho, a hitchhiking American president with his brain in cyberspace and his eye on the next election, but also a self-deprecating and increasingly heroic captain. Eventually even Albert Einstein hitches a ride, but spends most of his time bitching about the rotten food. Their goal: reconstruct from scratch an obliterated future, and — if possible — make it better.
