Synopsis

Fiercely conflicting urges animate the characters in Family Impromptu, a provocative, engaging collection of short stories that challenge and entertain as they reveal the peculiar way we both create and resist family life.

In these captivating stories, we encounter the tangle of emotions that accompany close relationships. Marriages expand and contract, love seeks fulfillment in a library, children dream of stalkers and kidnappings, dead dogs reconnect partners, and a cousin gets executed in Texas. Poignant, humorous, and even unsettling at times, this collection takes a frank look at the complicated yet endearing jumble of family ties as characters pursue both intimacy and independence.

    The Call of Cthulhu is a short story by American writer H. P. Lovecraft. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales in February 1928.
    The story's narrator, Francis Wayland Thurston, recounts his discovery of various notes left behind by his great uncle, George Gammell Angell, a prominent professor of Semitic languages at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, who died during the winter of 1926, suspecting eldritch goings-on after being bumped into by a "nautical-looking negro".

    World War III - It Started with EMP  This is a fiction (?) novel of future history. The story of what could happen today or tomorrow if an enemy were to launch World War Three - WWIII. It proposes a religious link between Islamic countries with the intent to take over the Western World in concert with China taking on the Asian World. The war starts with nuclear bombs exploding in low earth orbit over the United States causing a high-altitude electro magnetic pulse (HEMP) event that destroys our transistor based electronic world including communications and transportation. Following the disabling of the United States the Islamic countries physically attack Europe.  
    This novel was written as future history - something that is likely to happen in the near future. The original 1987 novel was used as a basis for a war game attended by our top generals and completed only months before Iraq invaded Kuwait. I was consulted on that war game and our response to Iraq was partially modified by my input. However, the manuscripts of this book were read by only a few government officials and a few of my close relatives. This novel had some future technologies that are just now coming into use. Remotely piloted drones are still not as advanced as in the novel, but operate on the same principle I envisioned in 1987.
