    Jesse McDermitt has returned to the Florida Keys. But things in the islands are different now. The locals are worried, but nobody can explain why. A sense of foreboding hangs in the humid July air. 
    One of the locals, an investment banker, is waiting tables at the Rusty Anchor Bar and Grill. He seems a shell of the man he used to be—a hollow man whose fortune and wife are gone. He’s tight-lipped about how he came to be a guest in Rufus’s little shack behind the bar. 
    Something very sinister is going on—Jesse smells it. He’s usually very good at rooting out the source of a problem, but is stumped this time. 
    Until another tight-lipped hollow man shows up.

    Praise for Stars Are Silver and other short stories: 
    Hartley’s stories are a tonic: full of delightful, down-to-earth characters and recognisable life dilemmas, as well as unexpected twists. Above all, each story reminds us that simple human goodness can still be found and shared. —Sandy Salisbury, author of Prairie Gold 
    Super, observant writing. [Tanino and Melina] really should have their own sit-com.— Alan Spink, Editor of The People’s Friend Magazine, on the Tanino and Melina stories 
    Hartley doesn’t just give us stories, she gives us a slice of Italian life served with lashings of charm and wit. Highly recommended! — Ella Hayes, author of Italian Summer with the Single Dad

    Geoffrey Little's edgy hilarity and rare sensitivity fuse across these sixteen stories. First recorded as immersive conversational podcasts, the tales here include a mandatory corporate retirement party, class with an eccentric yoga instructor, an overconfident podcaster, and an icky food truck love triangle. 
    Whether pleasantly hapless or bitterly exacting, the conversations here (and each are only dialogue) portray a range of humanity, including a few non-humans. Chat is still where it's at, even in the fast lane of the 21st century.
