A Beautiful Woman Alone in the Desert Striking and bright, Constance Harbolie doesn't fit the profile of your everyday hermit. Yet a painful secret drives her to the shore of a dying inland sea to hide away from the rest of the world. A Mysterious Agent Dressed in Black When she is visited by an emotionless Agent, none of her usual suspicions are triggered. This is her mistake. An Illustrated Storybook - Though Not for Children Featuring original watercolor illustrations, this haunting short story written in a style that harkens back to writers such as Ray Bradbury and H.G. Wells examines the scars left when a great love is lost, and the way those wounds continue to affect the wounded and the world around them.
