Welcome to the World of Mindbender

Historical Cold War intrigue, speculative fiction, and espionage.

A network of psychic spies from different countries going up against one another in a dark game of treachery, sex, and patriotism.

That’s the retro world I offer with a vintage Sean Connery’s James Bond vibe.

This series combines my love of spy fiction with my fascination with documentaries.

Why am I doing this?

Because I am an independent writer/filmmaker launching my own imprint, Exile Circus, to bring my creations to the public. I’m also a writer who absolutely hates marketing.

I hate saying buy my book. I’m just one of those people who has an aversion to salesmanship.

So I came up with a way of selling without selling.

I would rather use a series of faux documentaries that blend fact and fiction to reveal the worlds of my two novels—to start out with—Mindbender: From Harlem With Love and Diary of a Girl at the End of the World.

I won’t be mentioning my novels at all in these micro-doc series. I know, it’s a novel approach (pun intended).

I don’t want to sell you my books. I want to transport you into my worlds.

One is an exotic environment of enemy agents with mental acuities.

The other is a teenage landscape of alien occupation, collaboration, and resistance.

My belief is that the people who have an interest in these worlds will have an interest in my micro-doc series and hopefully, later on, my novels.

I want to organically reach the people who like the same things I do.

This form of marketing feeds my artistic soul without compromising my vision of what a writer and artist should be.

The videos will be in the three minute range, so it’s not much of a commitment.

I’d be honored if you’d visit these worlds at least just for a peek.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
