I've been working on this book for over two years and am still curently polishing it. It's the fist entry in a series of novels I am currently working on. Regardless of whether the series ever gets published, it's a passion project, one I take a little more seriously than my other novels.

Welcome to an unspecified rural town in Japan where people do unspecified work at a nondescript office. Among your colleagues are your grandfather, some ukrainian woman, James Bond, a guy claiming no longer to be associated with the yakuza, and another you're pretty sure is some flavor of inhuman entity.
