A casual trip to the mall: Grandma and lovely grand daughter, brought closer by the tragedy that took the life of Grandma's daughter and the granddaughter's Mom and Dad. Then an accident: twisted ankle, broken bone. But right behind them also going to the mall was Jerome Astin Cummings, Dr Jerome Astin Cummings, who took care of the situation, comforted the granddaughter and fell in love with Grandma in the process.
It started with a special trip to the store, little Amanda Grace's big adventure. But that was interrupted by the hit and run driver. Dr Wilson MacGruger saw it all happen and went to her aid immediately. He gradually became a real support for her Mom, Marian, and the romance followed.
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.
It all started with a date to the prom. Gabriel MacKenzie is a television actor unsure of himself and of getting back into relationships. He meets a young girl and their lives are changed.
A Story in the This Bed of Rose's Universe
Based on the hit song from 1975 about a boy who learned to be a man in Rose's bed. My version doesn't have any sex. It's just a romantic tale
