Other Unusual Suspects
But Scorpio Rising, the undead disco superstar vampires in Apartment Twenty-seven at the Garden of Abracadabra, aren’t the only suspects. When Abby Teller first drives into Berkeley with Brand, the supernatural hitchhiker she picked up, she confronts Barb O’Shannessy, Brand’s ex-girlfriend, a pathologically jealous woman who threatens Brand’s life.
Is Barb capable of the Tilden Park murders?
THE GARDEN OF ABRACADABRA, Book 1 of the Abracadabra Series, my brand-new, big new fantasy, is up and running on Nook and Kindle. A print edition is planned for late 2013.

Other new Novelettes republished for the first time include:
Tomorrow’s Child, first published in Omni and sold to Universal Studios, together with my blog from January 30 through February 21 setting out the twists and turns the project took from a medical documentary to an Omni story, The Story Behind the Story That Sold to the Movies, is on Nook and Kindle.
The Sixty-third Anniversary of Hysteria, first published in the acclaimed anthology, Full Spectrum 5 (Bantam), which also included stories by Neal Stephenson, Karen Joy Fowler, and Jonathan Lethem, on Nook and Kindle, was inspired by my favorite Surrealist artists, Leonora Carrington and Remedios Varo. In the story, a visionary artist, Nora, takes a harrowing journey into madness, which she survives. I also include Sources with this novelette.
