Scavenged Acts (95 pages) - A self-absorbed actor forgets how to act just as he begins filming a low-budget film for the director who made him famous. The actor foms a bond with the wardrobe girl and they work together to "cure" him while keeping it secret from the ensemble cast, who  wish to see the actor fail.

Metempsychosis (111 pages) - Inspired by "The Sun Also Rises", Jackie and her friends are a contemporary "lost generation", unable to let go of past wounds caught in a maddening cycle of drinks, banter and cruelties with one another.

Waiting For (300 pages) - Meggie and Pamela, e-mail friends since age thirteen, have a pact to always "be honest" with each other; however, through interspersing prose and e-mails from their first year of college and their first years in the work world, the reader sees that their lives differ from their written words. Their friendship endures through years of heartaches, love affairs and the acceptance of waiting. Past and present are woven together and the truth of their lives and decisions climaxes upon their long-awaited meeting with one another in New York City.
