    The Stories

      Blowup -- Hard SF and ice on the Moon

      Irene's Song -- Would'a . . . could'a . . . should'a . . . history professors and genealogy buffs from around the world have been moved enough to send Astrid email after reading this fantasy story about a Donauschwaben composer.

      Bringing Sissy Home -- Voodoo, language, skin color . . . just what makes us who we are?

      The Hunter and the Stag -- Inspired by the paintings of "Hunor and Magor" by Katalin Hampel Tallós (whose paintings I've admired since high school), a Brazilian newspaper article, and Carlos Baker's fascinating biography of Hemingway.

    The men in Astrid's life . . . BIG and little.

    The young ladies who were kind kind enough to share a few few years of their lives with Astrid and Joe.

    Some favourite places. Sorry if the links are expired. As soon as Astrid finishes the 2nd draft of Shrooms, the 1st draft of Corrosion (the novel she went to Europe to research), the novel-length version of Emilio and the Physicists, three other screenplays she has outlines for . . . she'll have time to cruise the net and get to those links again.

    Cheers.
