I watched Edda Tompkin drive away with a heavy heart. She and I had grown up together, we'd been each other's best friend and now she was off to college while I stayed in our small burg of a town going to work for the railroad. We'd met in second grade, dad and I moved in across the street from she and her mom, it was on that warm autumn Saturday afternoon...
Thanks to Ada Stuart for taking time from her busy life to provide some very helpful constructive criticism. I don't believe this would have been as readable without her contribution. I'd joined Adelaide & Tash as a junior partner in the audit department. It pissed off some of the more senior associates and made a few enemies for me. But I came through the...
Notes from the author: Hi again everyone! This is another tale in my 22nd-23rd century solar system fantasy, of which I am rather fond. Technically, it is tied with The Calling of the Stars, but you do not need to have read it first. To be quite honest with you, with this story I mainly sought a valid excuse to have fun with unearthly body properties, such a...
If your wife were away from home at 10:00 p.m., would you be worried? I wouldn't, because all I have to do is turn on the local news to see exactly what she's doing.

'I should know better than to try and change it myself," were my thoughts, 'particularly in the midst of this torrential deluge. I should have waited for help. But damn it! My cell phone battery is dead and it's not like I call for help; on the other hand how hard can it be since the instructions are printed right here on the jack-stand pouch?' I must ha...
I saw the couple back in the dark corner acting like they were out for a quiet evening together, but they were anything but. They had followed us in, taken a seat where they could watch us and hadn't taken their eyes off of us since we sat down. The might as well have been wearing signs that said "Private Detectives at Work." The 'us' they were watching? Me...
PROLOGUE: The two detective entered the interview room and called out to the sleeping man. "Mr. Williams." The man did not move. They called again. "Mr. Williams, are you alright?" The man stirred and lifted his head from his arms that were crossed beneath his head. The man slowly sat up and wiped drool from the corners of his mouth. He looked horribl...
CHAPTER 1 As a child Kate Childs would wake up crying, at that age unable to understand she had been dreaming vividly but the worry of her parents had her believing they were nightmares. Perhaps they were. No one got into Kate's head to check it out and of course years later she couldn't remember those early childhood dreams. In ageing Kate came to accept...
