The Lift
Mayelana nale audiobook
The Lift is a sci-fi mystery thriller—a 160-page novella.
Deep in Detroit's decaying industrial district, twenty-seven-year-old Max begins his first night shift at a secretive facility, disposing of hazardous chemicals. What he didn't expect was that his job involved teleporting these chemicals to a seemingly desolate alien world.

I'm a former traditionally published author from many years past who, after a long hiatus, has returned to writing under the pen name Joe Orange. My focus now is simple: I want to entertain readers with carefully crafted tales of the strange and unexplained.
My Strange Detroit series weaves cosmic horror and science fiction through a noir-tinged cityscape, but my work reaches beyond these boundaries. I focus on stories about individuals or small groups facing bizarre circumstances, always keeping one foot firmly planted in reality while the other steps into high strangeness.
My approach to storytelling blends genres naturally, creating narratives where ordinary people uncover extraordinary secrets. I believe in the power of intimate stories that challenge our understanding of reality while remaining grounded in human experience.
