    About this ebook

    Tom Dexter travels to Colorado at the urging of a childhood friend enrolled at the University of Colorado. Boulder is not the promised land Jay Harkert built it up to be. This story was previously published by The Sunflower Collective under the title "Spinning on a Spike." A Smashwords short story of mine titled, "Care for a Menthol" was once part of "Flatirons Flight."
