The rain had erased the list of street names for a moment, drumming on the tiles of a nineteenth‑century garage as a low, steady wind stirred the yellowed paper of a forgotten postcard wedged between the cracks of an old signpost. Taylor Connor moved...
Midnight in the Loop

Raleigh Midnight Rendezvous
The boardroom had a hum of expectation that day, a low, steady buzz that seemed to seep into the blinds and seep into the brown eyes of Dean Martin Parson. He had been at the helm of Old Dominion University for three years, a man who liked the smell...
Shadows over Zia Street
The sun was curling behind the San Mateo Mountain when Joshua Marlowe felt the heat and dust settle at his back. He was on the porch of a crumbling adobe building on Zia Street, the street that had once been the beating heart of a 16th‑century city a...
