Rain (and Other Maladies)

A butler fighting to hide the secret of a lifetime from his staff. A woman struggles with a strange affliction brought on by an impossible decision. A man on a train finds himself with too much time to contemplate his empty life in the face of disaster. These are stories that explore love, grief, guilt, and the power of the human heart.

As a bonus, this collection includes "Rain", a story that went unpublished for twenty years and is now available for the first time here. It uses the metaphor of a rain storm to glimpse into a single, eventful day into the lives of several characters living in New York as they grapple with the struggle of a lifetime.

Rain (and Other Maladies) is the first collection of short stories from the author of such diverse series as the Domingo Armada mysteries, the Realm Jumpers urban fantasies, and thriller The Granada Affair.
