Beetle now available in print

After some thought, I have withdrawn my ebook versions of the Beetle stories and republished them as a single, stand-alone novel with the Hemlock Lodge Press logo. It is now available from your local book store via Ingram, or through Amazon. Take an look.

Synopsis: Lanie Whitehead, a smartass, interfering but compassionate virtual girl, attempts to insure a future for her nerdy creator and his girlfriend during their last year on a university campus. How do paranoid administrators and a possessive former boyfriend deal with a person who does not really exist, can walk through any wall, listen to any conversation, but cannot ever leave campus or actually touch anything inanimate? And what is she to do if her computer shuts off, and when someone turns it back on, it's a dozen years later, and every person she knows is gone? Being a super-smart virtual girl, Lanie investigates, discovers the truth and kicks butt. A bitter-sweet, often funny story of courage, growth, love and finding understanding.

Crossover fiction set in the near future.
