Retro Stories

In the nostalgic town of Moss River, where drive-ins glow under neon lights and the nights hum with possibility, two worlds collide. Johnny, a rebellious newcomer on his motorcycle, catches the eye of Daisy, a high school senior with a heart full of dreams. As sparks fly under the Friday night sky, their slow-burning connection draws them into a journey of self-discovery, first love, and the magic of finding someone who sees you for who you truly are. Sunset and Silver is a tender, cinematic romance that proves some sparks are meant to last a lifetime.

When an eccentric old neighbour dies and names Violet March in his will, she is even more surprised than his estranged and spoiled family. To make matters stranger, she learns that all must attend a pretend murder-mystery weekend for any to claim a share of the inheritance. Being a good sport under constant scrutiny and suspicion becomes trickier when she finds herself torn between the romantic attentions of both the deceased's "favourite" grand-nephew and the charming black sheep of the family. Loyalty forces her to favour the former, but when it is the latter who inherits the bulk of the estate, a grave case of mistaken identities is revealed leaving Violet to determine whether pride and an unwillingness to be labelled a gold-digger may stand in the way of the love of a lifetime. *Cover from "Lake Louise, An Alpine Wonderland" by Norman Fraser, which is to the best of my research and knowledge in the Public Domain. *No part of this book may be reproduced or used in any manner without the express written permission of the author.

First Contact is a multidimensional narrative connecting centuries, continents and sub/cultures, unravelling coincidences and conspiracies, computer viruses, and viruses which infect your mind. It details a kaleidoscope of revolutions and counter revolutions, football hooligans and Satanists, mutants and mutilations. Through drugs, drums and dreams, the interface is breached, and the message downloaded, and interpreted. The crew of the Mnemosyne detect a mysterious transmission, originating from a hostile planet. Meanwhile, but not meantime, a group of boys living in a sleepy Australian town realize that they are not ordinary kids, but actually deepcover agents from another galaxy. Intergalactic war is summoning them back home. It seems like pop superstar Michael Jackson is also heading their way! Elsewhere in this anthology, two adventurous spirits try to restore contact with a lost colony of violent criminals. A star goes supernova, sparking panic and upheaval around the world. A frightening apparition is glimpsed deep inside a Yorkshire mine, beckoning "Come back to me!" In nearby London, a struggling shopkeeper meets her dark half and her "bizniss" finally goes ballistic. First Contact is a short story and novella collection dating from 1989 to 2001. It is written in the style of a postmodern "pastiche": a work of art that imitates or borrows elements from a variety of different sources, in order to create a unique style or subvert the original meaning, make connections, and open a textual dialogue. Similarities to real people, places or events are entirely coincidental LOL! Images by Canva and Bing Image Create.

She lived in a world of muted colors and held breaths, a habit born from years of navigating a home that felt more like an obstacle course than a sanctuary. For her, love was a performance-a series of high marks and quiet footsteps designed to keep the storm at bay. When she finally stumbled, the silence that followed from those who were supposed to catch her was louder than any shout. It left her convinced that she was only as valuable as her latest achievement. He, however, seemed to have been carved out of a Saturday afternoon. He was all uncoordinated limbs and effortless laughter, the kind of person who treated a rainy day like a personal invitation to splash in puddles. He didn't just enter a room; he brought the temperature up by five degrees. She didn't smile back-she didn't know how to yet-but for the first time in years, she forgot to check if she was standing up straight enough to be loved. He wasn't looking for her flaws; he was just looking at her, and the sun felt like it was finally starting to peek through the clouds. A story of two people finding solace in each other presence...

For Beverly Kane, a birthday cake is a graveyard of wishes, and sensory overload is a paranormal event. In 1984, while the rest of Merry Hills lives a conventional adolescence, Beverly filters reality through the lens of autism with an eccentricity that turns the common into something extraordinary and, quite often, overwhelming. While interpreting the world in colors, textures, and David Bowie's music, she becomes a reminder that what makes a story unique isn't the facts, but the voice that tells them. Between the chaos of her perceptions and the search for the "plurals" that make her up, Beverly is determined to decipher the concept of the human as a "group of one." Just make sure you listen to both sides of the cassette. *** Book cover made by @ellewinterkress
