Is the Earth doomed? Evidence mounts in a race against time to understand the sudden rise in the Sun’s core temperature. The world’s solar scientists insist the data is incontrovertible, and the planet is hurtling towards disaster.
But a group of U.S. scientists, led by Jacob, a brilliant but emotionally scarred physicist, and Kaye, a sharp-eyed TV news reporter, become suspicious when they discover a link between a group of wealthy Middle Eastern businessmen and the Sun’s strange behavior. The action never stops as they travel from San Francisco to Dubai in a search for answers…and a way to prevent worldwide panic.

Short stories
Very Short Stories are often linked with Flash, Sudden, Micro, or Mini fiction. Because, like Very Short Stories, all of these story forms use a limited number of words to tell a complete story. While there is no set word count, all typically limit the word count to less than 1500 words; most fall well below that amount.
The average is approximately 500 words. The shortest story in this collection contains only 372 words. But its brevity doesn’t compare with the story Hemingway wrote. He used only six words: For Sale. Baby shoes, never worn.
The original stories in this book were all Flash Fiction. But along the way, I added the non-fiction story, The Stranger. I included it because the story was uniquely interesting and had a bit of unexplained mystery. And I could tell it within the allotted word count.
There are twenty-six distinctively different stories in this collection. A few are 1500 words, but most are half that. I hope you’ll enjoy them all.

A novel · Coming soon
Soon after Buzz Aldrin stepped on the moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission, he tried to plant the American flag. But he found it difficult, as his spacesuit restricted the way he moved his arms. This awkwardness caused him to drop the hammer. And he had to get on his knees to retrieve it because his spacesuit prevented him from bending at the waist. While retrieving the tool, he unknowingly set off a chain of events that involved the United States, Israel, and China.
