Gone to Mums
" What can you say about a twenty five year old girl who died?" With those words, Erich Segal opened his tear-jerker novella Love Story, and a film (and cultural) phenomenon was born. "Gone to Mums" doesn't allow a dry eye in the room. Told from Ray's perspective, it is a most improbable love story, set among the orchards and migrant farmers of rural Australia. He meets Kelly when she beats the crap out of him for trying to steal fruit from her roadside farm stand. Ray and Kelly do fall in love, but their romance is anything but conventional. If Love Story taught us that love was never having to say sorry, "Mums" reminds us that time doesn't heal wounds, it just covers them over with scar tissue.
Touch of Evil
Nine short stories that explore the effect of random chance on the lives of ordinary people.A Touch of Evil offers an answer to the eternal question: "What if?" Inspired by the work of Rod Serling in his seminal television series 'The Twilight Zone'&'Night Gallery', as well as 'The Outer Limits' & 'Twisted Tales', Touch of Evil poses questions, then offers possible answers that take the reader along pathways they may not wish to travel. For example: every day you follow a particular path in your life.But what happens when one tiny, but significant detail is changed-by fate, chance or just plain Luck? You fall asleep on a train & end up...where? That shortcut you're thinking of taking? You may not end up where you think you're going to & be careful of boxed chocolates delivered when you're not expecting them. Inside these pages you'll find things you take for granted in every day life turned ninety degrees. Just because it looks the same never means it is. A Touch of Evil. Just a tiny touch. Enjoy.
Next Stop Hollywood
Historically, short stories were a rich source of successful movies and significant films. Classics such as Rear Window, High Noon, Psycho, All About Eve, and Blade Runner began as short stories. Unfortunately, many of the major venues for discovering new talent—The Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, and Mademoiselle—are gone. Today, short stories are again becoming an important basis for major motion pictures and television, with films such as Brokeback Mountain, Good Will Hunting, and Minority Report. One reason short stories are making a Hollywood comeback is Next Stop Hollywood, an organization dedicated to finding both new talent and terrific material. This volume, selected by more than sixty movie-buff readers and advised by an editorial board of Hollywood insiders, picks up where those magazines left off. These very same stories may be at a theater near you in the near future. For anyone who has been disappointed by the movies of our day compared to those of the Golden Era of Hollywood, refresh yourself with these exciting short stories, and the possibilities they hold.
Biofire

Each has lost everything. Together, they have nothing to lose… but their lives. Drawn together by loneliness and desperation… and a secret project called… Biofire.
