In the folklore of Eastern European Jewry, a dybbuk is a wandering soul that comes to rest in the body of a living person. In this case, the dybbuk is an impoverished student that possesses a young bride on her wedding day. She is taken to a great Chassidic rabbi for exorcism. But before he can expel the spirit, the sage must discover who the dybbuk was in life, why he has possessed the maiden, and most importantly, how to balance the scales of cosmic justice.Part folk tale, part l...

Veteran Defense Command corvette DCNS Sackville had come out of the Luna yards fully restored with a fresh coat of paint, and was on her way to Belt Two to be turned into a museum. Aboard was Admiral Ken Barron – the supposed ‘war hero’ who would cut the ribbon at the museum’s opening. Five years of flying a desk had tipped him into a self-diagnosed midlife crisis, and getting back into space was supposed to help. Instead, he and Sackville proved that clichés can happen –...

I am a very old man; how old I do not know. Possibly I am a hundred, possibly more; but I cannot tell because I have never aged like other men, nor do I remember any childhood. So far as I can recollect I have always been a man, a man of about thirty. I appear today as I did forty years and more ago, and yet I feel that I cannot go on living forever; that some day I shall die the real death from which there is no resurrection. I do not know why I should fear death, I who have died twice an...

The Writer's Toast Here's to all the ex-wives in my life, Here's to all my money lost, and all the strife. Here's to all the friends I know, Here's to all the bad debts I owe. Here's to the glass I lift and say, Here's to another happy Zinfandel Day. KM Many thanks to my family, (especially Jill) who still support me, and my friends, and all of the fictional characters in my stories. Similarities in names are purely by accident.
