This story takes place at a cafe. We have our girl-the typically attractive city girl. Thin, scrawny, medium to long hair, natural curves, sitting uncomfortably at the edge of her chair at an otherwise empty table. We have our male protagonist - tall, long faced, unkempt shining black hair, weary wrist bands followed by long fingers moving to a rhythm as he moves down the aisle towards.....her. NO! This is not a cute tale of eyeing young idiots, or of supernatural beings gasping under evil breaths. This is truly a talk over the table. A talk about those burning scars under her sleeves. A tale of those fingers that trembled awfully. Those bodies that they have to live in. The lives they must see differently through the same eyes. The memories they must embrace because running away is not an escape that they could take. *This story contains themes of sexual abuse, pornography, children abuse, self-harm. Read at your own risk. The characters are dark and have twisted childhood tales*

Phones, light typing...and murder. Think breaking into show business is hard? Try landing a temp job without office skills. That's the challenge facing aspiring actress Isobel Spice when she arrives in New York City, fresh out of college and deficient in PowerPoint. After being rejected by seven temp agencies for her lack of experience, Isobel sweet-talks recruiter James Cooke into letting her cover a last-minute vacancy at a bank. New to his own job, and recently sober, James takes a chance on Isobel, despite his suspicion that she's a trouble-magnet. His misgivings are borne out by lunchtime, when she stumbles across a dead secretary in a bathroom stall. Can Isobel find the killer before he strikes again?

During the first 30 years of my journalistic career in the second half of the 20th century, good jobs of all kinds were available all over Canada. Those of us born in the 1930s and early '40s were in great demand because our generation was very small when the post-World War II boom began. I earned generous fees working mainly freelance at home or in the offices of clients. "GLIMPSES..." is the story of all the stories my work involved: the who, what, when, where, why, and how of people I met, our society's attitudes, my networks, lessons learned, mistakes made, many good times and some very bad ones. I hope to reveal how it felt to be a Canadian worker from the 1950s until about 2000, to provide perspective on why those years were the way they were, and perhaps offer clues as to how they led us to Now. (Note that chapters become shorter as the tale grows longer.)
