Debora Elizabeth Hill

In an import store at Chicago's Illinois Center mall, four seemingly normal Homo Sapiens are drawn to a wand on display.

Come join the Danger Club for their latest prank. They are going to steal a paper mache' bust of Bill Gates in order to drive up the price for charity, and in its' place leave a giant Energizer Bunny. Ah, but the plan goes awry, not an unexpected thing for this bunch, and they are chased by real thieves and the police, as well as being befriended by several drag queens.

Who has the jade Buddha? Will Queen Monk toss Gloria into the Russian River? Who are the walking vegetables, anyway? Does anybody know how to rollerblade? You'll just have to read the book to find out how these things work into the story...

TONE:

Murder mystery (with comic overtones) set at Worldcon in San Francisco. Takes place over the course of a weekend, with some set-up scenes during the previous week. Ensemble piece, similar in style and pacing to the ANNA LEE movies or I LOVE TROUBLE with a technical look similar to THE NET or PRIME SUSPECT.

Chapter Eleven: No Way Out

Charles Brent led the way along a path that seemed, to Robin, to weave in and out of shadows that revealed stranger and stranger glimpses of worlds he couldn't reach. "Hold it," he finally said. "Why am I seeing all these people and places that aren't really there?"

His guide seemed to be considering this. "Well, I can't see them myself. It must be because you're still alive." "But what are they?"

"I think they must be different places and times in history. Somewhere along this path is your world, the one I pulled you out of."

The sequel to A GHOST AMONG US, published in 2003 by Fire Mountain Press. Available everywhere!

Chapter Ten

This was gonna be a piece o' cake, Max thought, wishing he hadn't hired T'see Chow after all. The master thief hadn't done anything thusfar except provide Kent to disable the alarm system -- and that looked so easy, Max was pretty sure he could've done it himself. "What're you doing?" He whispered to T'see -- "grab it, already!"

"Not so fast, my impatient friend." T'see removed what looked like a small flashlight from his shoulder bag. He and Kent both had one -- Kent's contained the lockpick set; Max wasn't sure what else. But when T'see shone the light, it revealed a web of lightbeams around the bust. "There are lasers protecting each piece. The controls are probably in the room somewhere, and the entire room isn't wired -- too expensive. Kent, see what you can find."

"But we disabled the alarm system."

The Story
Two rock journalists, Hollis Danby and Elizabeth Anderson, have an assignment to interview the few surviving `rock dinosaurs' for their magazine, Off the Wall. One of them, Elizabeth, had a brief love affair with superstar David Blakely many years before, and he is on their list of interviews.

David has no recollection of their love affair, but many of his memories from that period are hazy. He is haunted by an image of a woman drowning in a large pool of water, quickly followed by the image of the very young Elizabeth.
