About this series
Frankie, the daughter of Charly Biscoe—heroine of You'll See! and Not That I...—is graduating from high school and [maybe] heading to college. Her strongest field is physics but her mother advises chemistry and her father suggests the Marine Corps.
The US is at war, and Frankie's cousin—thwarted at love and greatly depressed—is entering the Army. Her friends all seem to have their futures planned, while she's in a quandary. Even to attend the Prom she must choose between Caleb the chess-playing wimp and Conan the Klutz whose idea of romance involves the back seat of a car and stealing her undies.
Frankie is no nymphet—she's eighteen going on twenty-nine, sharp-witted and sharp-looking. Still, her sheltered existence is about to end. What's a bright but confused young woman to do—ask her parents for advice? Eeww!

- You'll See!
Two losers in the game of love are drawn together by need--not of love but of shelter. He has lost his wife, home and job--she and her child have been abandoned. Both have experienced romance, and neither wants any more of that, thank you. Here is their story, opening as they are about to meet, somewhere between East and West in a small community of a type you might be familiar with, perhaps even grew up in. The time is the early nineteen-nineties but the theme timeless — the eternal war between the sexes, fought with barbed weapons dipped in honey.

No superheroes nor anything supernatural (thus far, at least.) Expect merely ordinary people - you and me, as it were - caught up in extraordinary circumstances. Plots are character-driven, and the characters themselves are complex and often contradictory. I aim to appeal to the reader who has an ample sense of humor and an appreciation for irony. You can expect adventure and romance, but graphic violence and sex are at a minimum - think PG or PG-13 at most - and suitable for mature youths as well as adults.
