    About this ebook

    College student Gail Rickenbach is less than a semester away from graduating with a degree in Journalism, in 1968, when she contracts Transform Sickness and becomes a Focus. As a young woman of the 60s, she’s faced with a vast array of interpersonal problems as she attempts to care for an entire household of men and women Transforms, most older than her. Complicating her life is the fact that her abilities as a Focus do not match the information given to her by the authorities.

    This stand-alone short novel, set in the Commander universe, can be read independently of the other books of the Commander series. The main character of this short novel, however, does appear later in the Commander series.

    Randall Allen Farmer

    Greetings.I am an author, science nerd, an amateur photographer, a father, and a pencil and paper game designer and gamemaster. My formal education was in geology and geophysics, and back in the day I worked in the oil industry tweaking software associated with finding oil. Since I left the oil industry, I've spent most of my time being a parent, but did have enough time to get two short stories published (in Analog and Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine). Now I'm giving epublishing a try, and I have an ample supply of novel-length publishable material to polish and publish.

      Beer tasted like wet money—or maybe just bad beer did. Viola had never tried any other kind. She preferred white wine, but there was no white wine at this party. “Drink it like medicine,” the guy manning the keg said. “It’ll loosen you up.” He wore a

      The Pill

      Marlee stopped taking the pill when she was fifty-two. She had been bleeding each month—albeit hardly and close to tar—so she figured she was fertile, sort of, that something would attach itself to her uterine lining even if not completely thriving.

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.
