I’ve always believed the old maxim that truth is stranger than fiction. If you ever doubt the fact, then I urge you to spend more time around people, particularly the elderly and to make sure that you spend that time listening. 
 
One of the best things about working in care, with the elderly, is the never ending procession of stories. It’s a perk of a job. Lived experience is the best source for narratives and once you get to know those that you care for and more importantly, once they get to know you, you often find that they are more than willing to reminisce about their past experiences, the lives they’ve lived, the people they’ve loved and lost and to talk about the strange twists of fate that have befallen them. Sometimes however, it pays to be careful.

    Would you make a deal with a deadly basilisk? 
     
     
     
    Diamonds are a girl's best friend, or that's what they say. That's why I love my job as an escort with Monstrous Deals. When the billionaire property mogul who's just opened a new casino in Heartstone tracks me down and demands to be my next client, I'm thrilled. He is far more handsome than my regular clients and dangerously charming. 
     
     
     
    The catch: Erserro is an ancient, deadly basilisk who can kill with a single look. 
     
     
     
    There are rules. I have to be blindfolded and I can never look at him when he touches me. That seems OK at first, but when feelings start to grow, I can't help but long for a closer look at this creature who gives me more pleasure than anyone has ever done. He claims he's a monster. That he's cursed. But the more I get to know him, the more I'd risk everything to uncover a treasure that might be worth more than any diamond.

    The boy who became Bobby Baltimore. 
    Born last and long after his siblings, Rupert Haydock always was a Mama’s Boy. His Daddy used to taunt him for it, even though he did all he could to live up to his Dad’s high standards for toughness.  
    But when his mother accidentally contracts the mysterious and dreaded Rip Daddy disease through a cut on her hand, thanks to her husband’s carelessness, Rupert spends every minute at her bedside, taking care of her.  
    At first, he prays she’ll recover. But then her agony grows and her flesh starts to rot -- until she no longer resembles the mother he once knew. He’s not sure if the disease has completely ravaged her mind, or if she’s still trapped deep inside her rapidly decaying body. 
    End her suffering or stay with her to the horrific end -- what would any Mama’s Boy do? 
    Empty Nest is a stand-alone story told inside the universe of Platt & Truant's Dead World Trilogy, an intelligent, big pharma corporate espionage and genetic engineering exploration of the zombie subgenre.
