The Blue Place | Stay | Always
On an April night in Atlanta, between thunderstorms, out walking just to stay sharp, Aud turns a corner and collides with a running woman. Catching the scent of clean, rain-soaked hair, Aud nods, thinks, Today, you are lucky, and moves on—and behind her a house explodes in a tiger-lily of flame.
When Aud turns back, the woman is gone.
But the woman returns, seeking Aud’s help and protection from a deadly international game of forgery, drugs, money and murder.

I love “The Blue Place” and highly recommend it to everyone. “Stay” and “Always” give you more Aud and a lot of helpful information about MS (and Seattle).
Most interesting!! I spent a lot of time traveling to Atlanta, during the time period of your writing. Interesting aspect of society during those times.
I eat my liver at your ease of image connivance.
