From the Author
What can I say, once I created the character Nick Flebber, he kind of took on a life of his own.
While I presented the script version of "Lost Claus" around to people, I got a lot of positive feedback on it, to the point an agent wanted me to pitch the character as a TV series, with "Claus" as the pilot episode, as it were. Even though it didn't fly, I had put together a series bible of characters and plots the show would do. That stuff has been sitting on my hard drive for a while now.
After I wrote "Lost Claus," I was asked to submit a short story to "Love and Other Distractions." One of my files was a tale of Nick Flebber and Cupid, so I wrote that up. It came out very well, so I decided it was time to dust the others off and put them out there. "Space Case" was the obvious place to start. I wanted to try a non-holiday adventure, plus it was one that pulled together a lot of fun characters and paid homage to so many of my favorite sci-fi films. It was one of two of the most fleshed-out pitches I had (a script was actually written), so the framework for the case was there, and I just had to flesh it out.
And a fine, funny tale it is.
From the Back Cover
"I'm certain my husband
is cheating on me. But I can't prove it."
"And you want me to?"
"Yes," she whispered.
P.I. Nick Flebber is back on the case! This time a suspicious wife hires the hard-boiled detective to tail a wayward husband. A husband who seems to be able to slip out of the house without a trace and return as if he never left. A husband who seems to be having issues at his top-secret tech job. Soon Nick is up to his fedora in corporate espionage, street crazies and very illegal aliens. And if that wasn't bad enough, he's got to hire a secretary to boot!
