"The Pink Poodle and Other Stories" is a collection of short stories. His third novel "Different Worlds" is the story of identical twins separated at birth. The brothers separately struggle against their addictions. The author's novelette, "Kate" is the story of an Irish-American woman who struggles between her love for an Englishman and loyalty to her Irish heritage. "Nefarious Pleasures" is about how the queen of the cult, through her considerable erotic powers, conspires to break up the UK. Warren has just completed his first screenplay, "Think you can hit a woman . . . Better think again" with co-author, Felizitas Steiner.
