Perhaps these words did not end up in your hands by accident.
A world reborn or a world of ruin?
I don’t know.
It’s for you to decide.


And so it ends. Chapter Thirty Four – the final chapter of Juncture – is up. Along with the prologue to NEXUS. Yes, there’s a second book. Because our fate – fictional and real – is still unfolding. Thank you for reading. And caring…

Chapter Thirty Two of Juncture is up. We are heading for the end. Thank you for reading…

It was beauty who enlightened the beast.

It was erotic, divine and beautiful, and then it was not. Perhaps the meek will indeed inherit the earth, but not in the fashion you imagine.

She didn’t feel terror, or shock, or confirmation, or even guilt. She felt one thing and one thing only. Soul-wrenching pity.

She was a mother.

If you have no qualms about slaying innocents, why should I?... Unexpected opportunity for revenge. And a much more literal definition of separation anxiety...
