A thrill-seeking young couple, an epic descent into a strange new world, a search for reconciliation -- and The Others.

Published with bonus story "The Ferro-Erotic Roaches of Kiki."

James and his young wife Chantelle alight on the candy-striped badlands of Gilbottegen A seeking epic firsts and the thrill of discovery. But when the Season of Black arrives it maroons them on the dusty shoals of a misbegotten cinder of a star -- and from one another. They each descend into a strange alien world, seeking the means of survival -- and reconciliation. But as for The Others...

His fiction has appeared in the professional-paying Penumbra magazine of speculative fiction from Musa Publishing, and he has also studied short fiction with Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith.
