 Meter Parents, the newest in the Jack Meter Case Files SF Mystery series, is now out and is available in Trade Paperback and ebook for Kindle and Nook.
Jack is suddenly stuck with babies. But are they really babies, or an expendable tool for someone else's revenge?
Jack Meter’s hard-won peace is about to be shattered again. Two fugitives have descended on his apartment and are demanding help. They’re Phoenixes, a species that start as babies in the morning, age through the day and vanish after sunset, only to be reborn the next day.
Then there’s the Kayzar. The aliens want the Phoenixes back and are willing to kill anyone to recapture them, including Jack.
The Phoenixes’ story doesn’t ring true to Jack, but what’s a PI to do when his home is invaded, his friends feel sorry for the refugees, and he has a dead Kayzar stinking up his apartment?
The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.— G. K. Chesterton
Read a sample.
"Jack Meter stays smart, sexy, and darkly funny—despite a new crop of aliens messing with his life. M.D. Benoit's fast-paced and unique blend of science fiction and hardboiled detective will keep fans of both genres eagerly turning pages!" --Sherry D. Ramsey, editor of The Speculative Elements series

Susan Forest has recently sold two short stories to Analog Science Fiction and Fact. "Turning It Off" is a humourous short story that looks at the implications of wearing a personal shield to protect oneself from minor cuts and scrapes--with interesting consequences when the device is turned off. "The Most Invasive Species" is a novelette that explores the potentially tragic consequences of cultural interference when two sentient species meet. Watch for them in upcoming issues of Analog! |
