Value-wise, Crystal Falls still had theirs. It was American heartland conservative. There were three churches in Crystal Falls, all of them well-maintained and fully attended every Sunday. Of course,...
Wyn saw the freshly laid railroad tracks, and spotted the spires of San Felipe with its white crosses pointing toward God’s home, and knew he’d finally reached Albuquerque. He glanced behind him at th...
So you say. I gotta say, you’ve got a better imagination than most of the low-lifes who come through here. Too bad you didn’t get to Hollywood and put some of it on paper.

Some places, such as Paris, have a magic best experienced for brief periods so the romantic feeling doesn’t become tainted by a day to day reality. But Mykonos was different in that respect. Mykonos m...
Some primal instinct tells the parent, or the person down on their luck, than if we let it go — the child's hand, or our dignity — all is lost, and we’ll never get it back. That’s why, if you even bot...
Something about the bright sun shining down on a palm tree gauchely planted next to a dentist’s office gave the whole place an unreality, as though I was living on some movie studio backlot. Los Angel...
Wyn noticed Jace had what appeared to be a copy of Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone. He smiled to himself.
Sonny had to get rid of her once he found out, of course, but by then he’d already begun to grow weary of her. She was one of those save-the-trees, stop-global-warming, Che-is-cool-and-so-is-Obama kin...
