COMING MID-2026!
“Elliot Nessie” follows Vinny Vidivici, a down-on-his-luck private investigator whose biggest career achievement was tracking down missing pets until the Loch Ness Monster literally crashes through his office wall with a case. Nessie needs him to find Roy Mudson, a Mississippi mud monster who moonlights as a lifestyle guru dispensing wisdom about “finding your flow” and “authentic grounding experiences” to stressed-out corporate executives. What starts as a simple missing persons case quickly spirals into a corporate conspiracy involving RiverView Enterprises, a wellness company that wants to drain Roy’s primordial mud for weaponization purposes, and Dr. Silas Desiccant, a dehydration specialist whose professional nemesis is basic H2O.
Armed with the most unlikely team of informants in detective fiction—including Jerry the Raccoon (a reformed criminal mastermind who cheats at poker), Big Louie the philosophically-inclined catfish, and Greg (an interdimensional entity whose day job involves being various pieces of furniture)—Vinny stumbles into founding the Cryptid Protection Alliance, essentially a labor union for monsters. Between corporate mud extraction schemes, wellness tourism gone wrong, and Greg’s tendency to accidentally become the moon during stakeouts, Vinny discovers that protecting authentic spiritual experiences from corporate appropriation is significantly more complicated than finding cheating spouses. The result is a delightfully absurd tale where environmental activism meets supernatural comedy, proving that sometimes the best way to save the world is with a bucket, a really good filing system, and a raccoon wearing a tiny trench coat.
