All the other stuff. Expanded Universe is a collection of short stories from The Last Picks. It includes the “Engineered Public Confession” A glimpse into Dash’s life before his move to Hastings Rock. “Mystery of the Week” Someone steals Dash’s ice cream cone, and things…escalate. “New Neighbors” Dash adjusts to his new life in Hastings Rock—and to his budding friendship with Deputy Bobby. “Friends on the Force” Taking advantage of a local perk, Dash does a ride-along with his favorite deputy. “Thanksgiving Episode” On Dash’s first Thanksgiving with his new friends, things don’t go quite as planned. “It Runs in the Family” Dash’s sister arrives for an unexpected—and unwelcome—visit. “Sheep in Sheep’s Clothing” Bobby is most definitely not perfect. But why is it so hard to prove it? “Chekhov’s Wig” A box of stolen wigs. Jewel thieves on the run. What could go wrong? “Birthday Beginning” The Last Picks are determined to make Keme’s birthday a memorable one. “The Odd Couple” Dash and Keme might not be the original odd couple, but they’re odd enough. “Home for the Holidays” It’s Dash and Bobby’s first Christmas together. They manage to make it interesting. “Good Cop, Bad Cop” When Dash discovers someone is stealing Keme’s lunch, he’s determined to help. He’s just a little too late. “Insufferable Geniuses” Dash and Fox share the highs and lows of the artistic temperament. “Found Family” The Last Picks celebrate Keme’s graduation. “Skip to the End” Dash and Bobby celebrate their big day. Please note that the first fourteen stories were distributed previously in various formats. “Skip to the End” is exclusively available in this collection.

I'm a long-time Midwesterner. I've lived in Chicago, Bloomington (IN), and Saint Louis, my current home. Aside from reading and writing (which take up a lot of my time), I'm an educator. While I enjoy reading across many genres, my two main loves are mystery and speculative fiction. I used to keep a list of favorite books, but it changes so frequently that I've given up. I'm always looking for recommendations, though, so please drop me a line if you have something in mind! My big goal right now is one day to be responsible enough to get a dog.
