Odium remembered nothing before the barren heat of the desert. It was the hammer of the sun that taught him the value of shade and the value of pace. It was his mother, however, that taught him the skill it took to bring down the ghulduk, a great, hovering creature that drifted on the winds of the desert. Yielding a decent amount of meat and a leathery hide that could withstand the worst of the sun’s abuse, the ghulduk was a rare, essential gift from the arid wasteland.

My stories are mixed-genre, but publishers don’t generally like to hear that. Hence the “paranormal mystery” classification of Taking 1960. The great thing about a mystery, however, is that it can be anything. Life is full of mysteries. So there is a lot of room for flexibility, and that’s the best thing about it…”

On the sign outside the village, it says, ‘Pine Creek—Where Everyone Smiles and Nobody Frowns.’ Mark and I thought it would be a perfect place to have children. Main Street takes you through the middle of the town, past Suki’s Ice Cream Parlor, where an old man often sits for long hours. Alice Crier and her husband, Bill, own the laundromat. There’s a little bookstore, a novelty shop and a general store on the same street.

The creek near the house sparkled under the noonday sun, just before clouds enveloped the golden orb and the water turned dark again.
