Well, I'm not. I get in dark moods. I piss people off. I have anger management issues. I just got busted from detective to blues-wearing patrol officer. And now I'm listening to another abused wife and mother that the system can't protect from her asshole husband. That's putting me in an even darker mood. I gotta do something!
The plot has many surprises. I don't want to reveal too much. Backscatter is a near term futuristic story, starting in Bell County Texas in the 2040's. It's a story of epic adventure, lots of hard SF, and it starts with something as simple as a grocery shopping list.
A Story in the Strays Universe
Strays is a story about the repercussions you encounter when you pick up strays. It is also about the development of a very unusual young lady. It is a story about how tremendous talents can be used to fight evil. NOTE: Chapters 1 thru 8 were re-edited, but with no significant plot changes.
This story is set in the not too distant future, where humanoid robots are the norm (the same universe that was created by D.B. Story). Follow the adventures of Deanna Hordye, a hermaphrodite on the rebound from a shattered heart that nearly drove her to suicide. If human mates can't give her the emotional satisfaction she craves, will Deanna find more comfort with 'bot mates?
A Blues Story Bobby Washington got hit by a car when he was fifteen, leaving him in a coma that lasted three years. When he did wake up he had epilepsy and needed to get a GED so an in-home physical therapist/caregiver was needed. Mai Li MacIntosh was born in Vietnam but raised in the U.S. Her very first job as a physical therapist was to rehab Bobby Washington's wasted body. It was supposed to be a three to six month job. She wasn't supposed to fall in love with her patient. But she did.
Remember when "The boy was gay" meant he was simply happy and carefree? Language changes. It evolves. So it shouldn't surprise anyone that "MILF" can have another meaning,too.
