Produktbeschreibung

The first strange tremor came at dusk, rattling coffee mugs in the hands of the regulars at the Sitka General Store. The building's frosted windows hummed with the vibration, and everyoneInuit elders in fur-trimmed parkas, oil workers on late shift, even the elementary school principal selecting canned beanspaused for a moment, puzzled. Out on the snow, dogs set to howling, as if every Malamute and Husky knew to sound a warning.

That was when the sky lit up.

For a confused heartbeat, it was as if the whole frozen world had gone silent. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, the villagers of Qimugtaq flooded from their houses, drawn together by the shock of what had just sliced overhead.

It wasn't the northern lightseveryone could see that at once, the absence of emerald and violet ghosts replaced by a furious, burning streak.

Autorenporträt

I was born in England, but have lived in Southern California for many years. I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
