Myagent, Jerry, keeps telling me I have to get used to stuff like that,now that my writing has broken and I'm the next big thing in theliterary world. But I don't buy that. Just my luck that the badattitude guy is also a writer. And, the last thing you'd expect from a guy who's trying to be a literary type, he has a bunch of heavyfriends. Worse than that, he's saying that he's me.You don't believe me? It's just my paranoia at being exposed to allthis sudden media interest? Well, I can prove it to you. Read on.”

- Doppleganger: There's a long tradition of doppelganger fiction. Dostoyevsky's second novel 'The Double' is one of the best. You can get it as a free download at amazon Kindle. My own modest contribution to the genre with DOUBLE BIND aims to give the doppelganger theme a new twist.
- The Future: What will be done now to avoid the destruction of the planet as the environment degrades. Will it be too little too late?
- Identity: What would you do if your identity was stolen?
