title: Kindred Spirits: The Case of the Incarnate Creator (Buck Hawthorne) (Volume 2)
author:  Steve Vassey 
description: Steve Vassey can't claim a hometown. Though born at the Army hospital at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, his father's work with the early US space program took the family over most of the state of Florida. He spent his first six years of education in eight different elementary schools. As a result of their frequent moves, he claims to be an introvert who learned to be an extrovert as a matter of necessity. <br /><br /> A lifelong fan of fantasy and science fiction, Steve loves the world building aspect of the genres. "When done well," he says, "all disbelief is suspended and you walk among the characters." <br /><br />Steve served multiple terms as president of the South Carolina Writers Workshop, and also acted as editor for the organization's annual anthology. Retired from careers as an environmental scientist and information technology manager, he currently lives with his wife, an outspoken cat, and a forty-five pound lapdog in Cayce, SC.

  Chris took the girl's wrist in her hand and gently moved the arm that had been
  flung across her chest. She sat up then, careful not to wake the girl, and
