Welcome to Garden City

We have all walked down its streets; we are all familiar with Garden City. Sidewalks that need cleaning grey concrete streets, intersected with the occasional path of cobblestone. A neighborhood that houses punks, artists, and assorted others.

In a future where the dead walk the streets, Ralph Crocker finds everyone really is out to get him, from a cyborg named Death, to genetically enhanced government agents, to robotic policemen. In order to stay alive, he must find the inventor of a strange drug that alters perceptions -- and perhaps even reality.

In his quest, Ralph travels streets worked by automated prostitutes, to an Antarctic tourist trap, to virtual worlds where anything can happen.

Pest control gone bad; a spouse brought back from the dead; and intergalactic warfare which is not what it seems. Each story is a gem that delivers with plot twists and logical but often surprising endings.

Whiskey Myths

The story Whiskey Myths is contemporary with an edgy, experimental structure. Van Blackmar lives in the Valley of Dregs and Skidders -- a slow death of a place. She sits alone in her room with only books and her music. Whiskey Myths is her favorite album by the band BloodFire. The band's story is also told through rock lyrics, journal pages, even a manifesto.
