An Impossible Abduction

What do you do when things go surreal?

When things blow up on Matt Cramer, they can be messy. This time the mess might be blood. Whatever it is, right now that bloody mess is all over the walls.

A newly minted private investigator, Matt returned to Silver City, New Mexico to open his office. This isn't a good start.

Josh, the office painter, is missing and that's not a good sign. Nor is the ominous attitude of Officer Ravenwalk, or the fact that the local coffee shop is owned by witches, or that Matt somehow has found himself partnering with a shaman and the blood, if it is blood, is somehow tied to a woman's disappearance--a disappearance that might involve aliens.

Welcome to Silver City, New Mexico, where things are seldom truly wrong, but never quite right, either.

Ed Teja is a lifelong writer and denizen of the margins of the world.

A former magazine editor and boat bum, after years living rather out of the mainstream, he lurks around rural New Mexico writing stories are about the people he meets and places he knows. Stories that reach into the odd corners of the world that often disappear into the margins, and tell of the amazing, often strange, people that inhabit those places.
