Different Waves, Different Depths

Different Waves, Different Depths takes its name from a comment an old crush made once about her feelings for me. It also describes this collection of nine stories, varying in style from the literarily weird to the science fiction and in length from the flash to the novelette. There's even a pilot script in here. There are time loops and time travel, reality television and big data, consultants who can make anyone a winner, a newspaper that's just gone online-only, a band that never existed but is all too real, mistaken identities, roadtrips, drugs, guns, murder, and a love story or three. Dive in deep, ease in the shallows, or just let the tide lap at your toes. Different waves are waiting.
