                              Futuristic, twisty, and surprising crime and science fiction stories.


                              Florida Grand Theft & Other Tales is a collection of sixteen crime and science fiction short stories.

                              Some of the tales are strictly fictional crime stories. Others are solely in the science fiction genre. Many other yarns combine both crime and sci-fi genres.
