    About this ebook

    An urban dystopia short story by Dixon James.

    Glenda stands in the rain with her child. Protecting her baby has brought her here, chilled to the bone and waiting for a vital delivery.

    The world has gone rabid, her city twisted into an urban dystopia. Punkers and dealers rule the streets. The cellphone towers have stopped working months ago. Her husband has disappeared, joining the long lists of the missing. And now here she is, on the wrong side of midnight in the wrong side of town.

    But Glenda is a strategic woman. She is resourceful, tough and smart. She has a plan. When the city turns wild all you have is your wits. Can she make deals that will protect her child and get them both home?

    It’s going to be a hell of a night.

He only takes it off for author photos and his friends are beginning to suspect that he is a vampire. He has worked as a gardener, video producer, actor, woodcutter and radio announcer. For the last seven years has been constructing his own house due to a deep subconscious desire to bang his head on things. He has a brown belt in Ninjukai Taijutsu and a distrust of misplaced apostrophes. Dixon James writes in many genres and has work available at all good ebook stores.
