Melissa Simpson came home from Fallujah without her legs and without much reason to hope. She bought Rika as a service device — practical, efficient, no complications. What she got was a woman who noticed the red in her hair, learned the shape of her pain, and followed her heart to wherever it lived inside her. What neither of them knew was that someone was watching. The Shape of Her Arms is a love story about two people who had no blueprint for what they were becoming — and filed the paperwork

This is the last of a simple short story trilogy. Timeless Sands (1) originated with a bizarre dream after reading "The Mummy" by Anne Rice. A hint of speculative fantasy. Enjoy.

Three young people represent Earth in a battle with our powerful ancestors who seeded us and terraformed Earth. It is a battle against people who believe Earth has lost its way, and they intend to destroy Earth if it does not comply. They are so far ahead of us that they are Godlike but are biased and irrational and prepared to inflict pain without compunction.

The second in a continuing series about how the Missile came to be the man we all know.

She came to him the way wild things do — slowly, carefully, leaving gifts he didn't yet understand. For weeks, Michael found tokens at the edge of his orchard: a bronze feather, smooth stones, berries arranged like offerings. He assumed it was nothing. He was wrong.
