Fae War

This is the third episode of the Illusions trilogy. Yes, fairies exist, but they are not what you think. They are a sub species of Homo Sapiens with more advanced psychic abilities, mainly of hypnosis. For centuries these people, the Fae, have lived beside humanity. Sometimes they live as parasites, sometimes helping humans. Martin Harrow, Changeling, has the rare ability to create a tulpa, an object or live creature that may exist only for a few minutes. It is the year 1930, a year of disasters and change. Now one member of the Fa proposes to take charge of human destiny. He calls himself Nemesis. Thousands of followers believe in him. Others resist. Nemesis wants Martin as a weapon. Nemesis can become invisible and inflict pain at a distance. How can Martin and his Changeling brother Calvin resist an unseen force?

About the author: Following a previous life, he has turned his attention to telling stories about the Old West during the 19th and early 20th centuries. He has discovered there are thousands of untold stories to be found in old newspapers, magazines, and sometimes even history books. The stories he writes are mostly made-up fiction, but then so are a lot of history books. He has learned that what people most value are not the bare bone facts of the past, but the stories we tell about them. Steve (whose friends mostly refer to him as "Bart") derives his idea from listening to people, walking around old neighborhoods, and a lot of reading. As for his previous life, he had an undistinguished career in civil service. His first actual job was in the U.S. Army. Someday he may write a book titled "All I Need to Know I learned in the Army." He now lives in a rural part of northern California, where he likes to listen to folks and look at trees.
