Steven Popkes lives in Massachusetts on two acres of land where he and his wife garden, grow bananas and breed turtles. His day job consists of writing support software for space and ballistic systems. He insists he is not a rocket scientist. He is a rocket engineer.

"Tell me," said Dan as soon as he was able to breathe. "Do you know she's not your daughter?"
"Yes." Tom hid the pistol in his jacket pocket and left the tavern.
