Can life aboard a space station be easy? Will the criminal justice system be fair and compassionate in the future? How does a dream vacation go from the amazing to the almost absurd simply because of a car? Is there such a thing as being too desperate for a good night's sleep? These compelling questions and more are answered within the pages of FEVER DREAMS. Fantastical and futuristic stories, real-life experiences, and poetry approached from a different angle, this collection was created for the Asotin County Library in Clarkston, Washington, as part of the initiation of a new library service. It is now available for all readers to enjoy.

Britain is booming. The winds of change are blowing. But for some, love is still illegal. Tommy Kent lives a boring, unfulfilling life and can't see any way out. He does the same thing over and over again, hundreds of times a day in an unbearably loud, hellishly hot, acrid-smelling factory. He lives for the weekends, when he can lose himself in the music, fashion and nightclubs of the mod scene. His friends and family love him unconditionally, but he'll never have the one thing he truly wants: someone to share his life with, someone to grow old with. He decided long ago that it's easier - and safer - to be alone. Even if that means a life half-lived. That is, until Eric Greene rides into his world on a beautiful blue Lambretta, making Tommy want things he'd long since given up hoping for. Eric has his own demons to fight. He was born into wealth and privilege but he's never known love or affection, not even from his family. All he's ever wanted is to belong somewhere. Are they brave enough to risk falling in love? What have they got to lose? Only everything. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1960s London, And Then He Kissed Me is a story of forbidden love and found family accompanied by a soundtrack of American Soul and British Beat music.
