Close Liaisons
Description
Both tales portray friendly strangers seeking lovers and bringing death.
“Familiar Stranger” portrays the good versus evil in two aliens who are brothers. One of them loves humans, and the other wants to destroy them. In addition to fighting the bad guys, the protagonist Cassandra must battle her own demons along with the alien centipedes that feed on human flesh. Like the author, she loves her Mylar balloons, especially when she discovers that helium makes an effective weapon.
Heather, a timid, bullied high school student in “Secret Light, Silent World” believes the alien she meets will solve her problems. Instead, he lures her into a deadly trap, using her for his own insidious plans.
Close Liaisons offers two different tales of heroic aliens bent on rescuing the human race, evil aliens intending to destroy it, and a healthy dose of sensual probing in between.

About the Author
I live near Phila., PA, where I work full time as a respiratory therapist. When I'm not working with patients, I'm chasing Mylar balloons at the supermarket, enjoying a fright flick, or working on horror and science fiction tales. Many of my short stories have appeared in numerous small press magazines. In 2004, I became the publisher of Night to Dawn magazine. Books by me include Twilight Healer, Steel Rose,City of Brotherly Death, Close Liaisons, and Life Raft: Earth. I've also coauthored Alien Worlds and Starship Invasions with Tom Johnson. I enjoy bringing my medical background to the printed page, and then blending it with supernatural horror. I maintain a presence on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, and The Writers Coffeehouse forum. Look for the photos with the Mylar balloons, and you'll find me. To contact me, e-mail me at [email protected]. Visit me at: www.bloodredshadow.com
I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see
I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me
The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me
My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep
Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?
I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door
In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone
My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
