Off Book
“A project or mission that is not officially sanctioned or has an official record.” Officially I’m in the South of France, sunning myself on the Riviera, and at least a dozen witnesses will swear they saw me. A document trail shows that I flew over on Air France, and I hired a Jaguar for the week. After flying in, I made a few casual acquaintances and told them I was going on a driving trip across France for several days, being very vague about where I was going and when I’d be back.

The Mystery of Miss Chimes...
Chapter 1 Annabella Chimes A soft wind was blowing the cool fog onto the coastline just off spindrift road in Carmel CA. The curtains billowed and swayed in the open windows, just soft chiffon dancers, partners one to the other as the sad soulful sounds of the saxophone filled the house from the turntable in the living room, ‘Europa’ mixed and mingled with the hot steam of the shower’s water falling onto Annabella, as she finished rinsing the lather out of her hair.

Unburied: A Mark Hammer Story
"The gods are not always kind, and their gifts are often mixed with sorrow.” The night air was heavy with the musky scent of rain, and the wind howled like a pack of wolves outside; its mournful cries whipped through the streets with ferocity. The gusts were so strong that they shook the windows in their frames, rattling the panes of glass with a hauntingly eerie sound and sending shivers up the spines of all who heard it. The buildings themselves seemed to come alive as if possessed by the spirits of the wind, their very foundations groaning under the force of the gale.
