Limited-Time Sneak Peek · Blog it, podcast it, text it · Gate locks Labor Day — THE GATE IS LOCKING

The Opening View · Population: Growing

McSkunkville,America

A whole town of skunks learning to earn their place in society — and one human lawyer they trust. Everything in society, McSkunkville has a chapter about it. And you cannot be exposed to any of it without learning something quality.

The Creed of the Town

A skunk cannot just run around society stinking things up. He must be raised. He must be trained. He must be educated until the room forgets to be afraid of him. That is the whole saga — Harry Potter's castle and the Sopranos' kitchen table, the clones in the institutions, the mafia that never goes down, the Titanic that made it — every level better than the last, and every page a power punch of something worth knowing.

Sealed Until You're On the Rolls

What's Behind the Gate

Gated

The Cast of McSkunkville

Every judge, deputy, and don in town is a skunk — except one human lawyer and her team. Meet all of them. Behind the gate.

Gated

The Journals

The Hollow Ones. The Machine and the Balance. The Doctrine. A saga written journal by journal — and one name sealed until the last page.

Gated

The Republic

A President, a Congress, an M.B.I., a Silent Service, and a moon with a stripe on it. A whole government of skunks. Behind the gate.

Gated

The World

McSkunkywood. McSkunkbook, McSkunkTok, McSkunkX. The Titanic they saved. The leagues, the chapters, the Phenomenon.

Gated

The Casino

Slots, bingo, and a back room nobody can prove exists. The Don sends his regards. Behind the gate.

And the final product…

The real McSkunkville. The saga itself. Protected behind the Moot Court until the drop — and worth every step of the road in.
