Life is splashing along for Hooker, as he cruises the South end of San Jose in his custom built 1959 Marmon tow-truck with his trusty side-kick Box, snoring between the seats. The serious end of fall has settled into a myriad of jumpstarts and drivers re-learning how to park in the middle of rain washed freeways. Blood ally is working overtime on its name. A rash of "suicide by oncoming car" takes over as IBM starts another round of layoffs that runs a cold blade through the lower ribs of the indentured Santa Clara valley. Mudslides make recoveries of wrecks over cliffs-dicey; and the unusual...

He reigns from high in the cab of a custom-built giant tow truck that is as powerful as the heart that he keeps hidden under the "rebel without a cause" skin.

As Los Angeles comes of age in the 1960s, two undercover cops, posing as bikers, struggle to maintain their balance in the growing drug trade. Boundaries are broken and borders are crossed in an effort to do good--while doing bad.
The newcomer, Gabe, learns from a few masters in the game of life, love, and staying alive while undercover. He soon finds that "Normal" is a meaningless word civilian society makes up. His first master teaches him that the books (on being a cop) don't know squat. The next cop shows him that being irreverent and unconventional in the approach of doing...

Set in current time, about one thousand immortals known as Ever Kind live among us mortals.
They identify and locate the others through senses, except for a singular anomaly, whom they call the Black Hole or the Black Sheep. Their immortality derives from their ability to flow into another living host when the original host dies. This ability allows them to have a renewed body or escape detection as they take over a host of a different species.
Over the millennia, they have lived out lives of both sexes and animals as varied as cockroaches, whales, three-legged blind goats,...
