Sinopsis

A man carries his girlfriend in the left-hand breast pocket of his shirt. During World War II, a young soldier searches the houses and barns of the families with whom he grew up. An astronaut wonders whether she can adapt to life back on earth.
In her second collection of short fiction, 100neHundred, Laura Besley explores a kaleidoscope of emotions through 100 stories of exactly 100 words.
So much of life is packed into these stories, precious moments and sad ones, humour and grief, gorgeous nuggets of hope and stinging barbs of hurt.

Christmas is six days away-and Sarah Booth Delaney has her hands full! To honor a group of international investors, Shaw, Mississippi, resurrects the old custom of drifting miniature, lighted Christmas floats down Silver Bayou. The Italian delegation from Venice may bring much-needed new jobs and commercial opportunities to this small, struggling Delta town. Among the investors is notorious womanizer, Enzo Aceto. Handsome, witty, and eager for new conquests, Enzo meets his match in Tinkie Bellcase Richmond. She, too, is an accomplished flirt, and a partner in Delaney Detective Agency. Enzo disappears. Rumors of murder are buzzing. Suspicion falls on Tinkie's husband, Oscar, whose jealousy created a scene at a social event. A body spotted bobbing behind the last Christmas float makes the joyous holiday celebration take on a much darker tone. Tinkie and Oscar flee Sunflower County. Sarah Booth must determine what happened to Enzo, or her partner's and Oscar's holiday will end in multiple felony charges. From paid shoppers to canine and feline assistant sleuths, "Bones on the Bayou" brings the Zinnia gang together to solve the mystery-and save Christmas.

What if Déjà vu was just a fleeting window into a reality with different choices made? Where dreams and hallucinations are enduring connections to a world long diverged. Could the passage to those realms be found again? So that we may learn to navigate away from the nightmares that lie ahead. The Desert Provides. The Desert of the Real is an anthology of short stories from worlds both similar and stark to our own. Worlds where angels and demons dance in veiled wars, where ambition and science collide to control the human experience, and where we discover others amongst the dark forest that is our starry night. This collection of eleven tales weaves its journey across a blend of narratives and mediums, each exploring the possibilities of literature through the lens of alternative history, fantasy, and science fiction. Some may be closer to home than we think.
