Vampire Granny and Other Surprising Stories (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Meet the entertaining characters of this short story collection and follow them on their action-filled adventures. The dozen stories are contemporary science fiction with a twist, except for the last one. Granny Evans is a sweet old lady who bakes cookies and babysits. None of her neighbors know that she was made a vampire more than 175 years ago in New Orleans. Then her too-handsome vampire son comes for a visit and wreaks havoc in the neighborhood. Sindra is an initiative in the Cult of the Virgin, using a portal to travel between worlds, when the universe sends her flying in another direction and she ends up at the cookie store in the West Temple Mall. She has to evade an evil flute player and find the arches that will take her home. Janey and Timmy are playing tag across time one Sunday when they become embroiled in the 1381 Peasants Revolt and Janey has a baby named after her in the fourteenth century. As for the story that isn't science fiction? It'll break your heart.

Autor

I love to write speculative fiction--asking a "what if" question and pursuing it to the limits of credibility. "What if a child was born on a little-known planet and just kept growing, and growing, and growing?" "What if it were possible to skip lightly through time, experiencing events you only read about in history books?" That's what these stories, mostly developed during my many years in a science fiction writers' group, are all about. I've been a jack-of-all-trades in any job to do with publishing, whether as a staff writer for a magazine (Westways), a communications director for a Girl Scout council, or an editor for a California state agency that manages the court system. For many years, I had my own business as an editor, a proofreader, a writer, an indexer, and a project manager. I have a master's degree in journalism from UCLA. Now, with the freedom of retirement, thinking about characters, plots, and places takes up most of my time, with several novels in various stages of coming to life. Please keep an eye out for them.
