suddenly it stopped raining

The Saint Bernard

The custodian was telling me about his basement. With all this rain, it’s starting to flood. They use mops to push the water out. Also, there’s a beaver on the property who is damming up the stream causing more water to pour into their house. Every day the custodian’s father takes the sticks apart, but the next day the dam is back. The beaver is too big for traps, it weighs 100 pounds. I said, “Are you sure it’s not a Saint Bernard?”

The BELATEDS!

A little movie played in her head. The Belateds running down the street, chased by their adoring fans, girls and boys and cameras. A Pandora’s Box of energy had been released that couldn’t be shut, that hollered after them as they flew. Music made an atmosphere. An electric cloud surrounded them wherever they went, city after city, country after country, freight trains and airplanes, buses and boats. On 19th Street in Seattle, The Belateds could play on the roof, there was room for them there, by the chimney and the TV aerial. Up in the airwaves, transmitting, with the whole town blanketing around, a haunted kingdom changed by a pebble dropped into a rain-soaked pond.

THE BELATEDS

Here's the cover spread for the new novel THE BELATEDS, to be published end of this month. Cover by Rob Millis! Published in soft cover and hard cover!
