And from these heights you used the existing light, or you set yourself up to be spotted from your flashlight beams. So maybe 15 minutes to talk was all the chance I was going to get. And he knew it. ""So? You are up here to either seduce me or hire me or blackmail me - or some combination of the above,"" Rob said. I just smiled, ""Or some combination of the above..."" The clouds were slowly turning from red through violet into black as we sat there. Patient watching would almost let you see the changes. ""OK, five minutes. Make your pitch, Marj, and then I leave."" Get Your Copy Now.

Book Description
When the hamburgers all disappeared, along with the buns I was warming, I thought I was seeing things. But when my spatula went through the cast-iron grill top - I had to let it go out of reflex. No way was I going after it - I'd been burned too many times. It wasn't like I had a choice after that. Because the grill itself dropped out through the bottom of the rolling coach we were cooking out of that summer. I looked up at Ham, my order-taker, partner, and lover - only to see her fall through the floor as well. A look of shock and trying to say something, but frozen in time. Then the coach disappeared, and I fell with it - but only as far as the pavement it used to be parked on. I could see the asphalt beneath my feet at least. Until it turned to some sort of foamy waves lapping on a beach I'd never seen before. Green hard-packed sand. Green water. And a long white line that went down this beach like it was some sort of dual-lane highway... Get Your Copy Now.

Book Description
Before the cities left, and plunged our world into a global dark age, there were stories that told that history. Collected here are the works of three authors who have been telling scraps and pieces of what happened. All through the eyes of the people (and animals) who lived it. Some are fantastic, others could be tall tales, perhaps some are downright lies. But that is all why they had to be published as fiction. Because few people would believe it, even as a TV documentary. All highly speculative. And that's why it's called Science Fiction. But its a very human telling. You may even find yourself in here...

A Second Collection of the Dark Humor Satire of R. L. Saunders Life in our dystopian near-futures has never been funnier. Sauders gets inspiration from our daily news, and these stories are therapy for us as well. Skewering what is accepted as conventional wisdom, Saunders explores concepts which are more easily delivered with entertainment than op-eds or tweet-storms. Always taking the ""what if"" of current controversies to their slippery-slope results, Saunders reminds us constantly to not take the world around us seriously. This anthology contains: Smart Home Revenge by R. L. Saunders and S. H. Marpel For the Love of 'Cagga by C. C. Brower & R. L. Saunders Synco (TM) by J. R. Kruze & R. L.

Book Description
You'd think that after a couple of thousand years, I'd be able to find my angel wings when I wanted them. Pretty hard to misplace, if you think about it at all. But when I woke up to go to work this morning, they weren't there. Not in my closet, not hanging on the bedpost, and certainly not on my shoulders where they always had been. Sure, I was always able to appear to humans without them. But just because they couldn't see them, didn't mean they were gone. Of course, that wasn't the bad part. Along with the wings, I'd lost all my ""magic"" powers. So I was basically stuck on earth like any other human. But, no, I wasn't going to test whether I was still bascially immortal. I'm not stupid, even if maybe forgetful. And there was something important I was supposed to remember. Something about saving the world - but of course, this was lost to me right now - too...
