Sculptor Austin Feckidee discovers strange abilities in himself when under the influence of a mysterious plant. A group of anarcho-primitivists seeks to subvert the construction of a gigantic skyscraper called The Tower of Babel.
These two paths climb towards unstoppable collision.
Austin had plenty of reason to run from his past. Three years ago, he and an anarchist secret society failed utterly in an attempt to destroy a titanic skyscraper called the Tower of Babel. But he’s put all that behind him. Really, he has. Still, establishing himself as a sculptor would be a hell of a lot easier if he hadn’t lost his groove—and if he hadn’t gotten a letter from Stella, his old never-quite-flame and the ringleader of the anarchist operation. Stella dares to ask him to come back and try it all again. Her logic is simple: an otherworldly plant once thought capable of destroying steel has finally flowered after twenty years of dormancy in her greenhouse. She wants to find out why. The answer may destroy Austin—or it may just show him who he really is.
G. T. Anders, who goes by George Anderson at work, home, and among friends and family, has been writing since the age of learning-to-write. From the earliest picture-books about a talking can through novellas about sparrows to a militaristic space opera, his projects have led him down one rabbit trail after another, constantly approximating but never quite reaching the ideal of Great Novel that began to form in his young brain when he first saw chapter headings and body copy on a printed page.
The Tower of Babel is another such excursion but claims nothing of that ideal. If you enjoy it, if it makes you question your use of gasoline or Facebook or anything else that is machine, then it has succeeded.The Tower of Babel (Vaulan Cycle)

Framed For Murder (An Anna Nolan Mystery)
by Cathy Spencer
Anna Nolan is walking her dog outside her small home town one night when she discovers a body. And not just any body – her ex-husband, Jack. Suddenly, Anna is the police’s favorite suspect, and even if the investigating officer is tall, blond, handsome, and has a cute British accent, she doesn’t relish the attention. Trying to divert suspicion away from herself, Anna investigates the three different women her actor-husband had been romancing on a local movie set. But she’d better be careful; one of them could be a killer.”
