Dancing With The Cosmos, originally part of my award winning Never Ending Story Collection is published here as a tribute to Reg Presley, front man and song writer of 1960s rockers The Troggs (big hit,Wild Thing)who had a second bite at the fame cherry in the 1990s when his song Love Is All Around was rerecorded by Wet Wet Wet, used in the film Four Weddings And A Funeral and became a world wide hit. An enthusiastic crop circle investigator in later years with whom and I had some contact when researching this story (which is really about hubris and the consequences of thinking we can outsmart nature) Reg Presley died recently aged 71.
Dancing With The Cosmos is superficially about what happens when a couple of wind up merchants who make hoax crop circles pick the wrong place for one of their adventures. At a different level it is about hubris and the folly of thinking we are bigger than nature.

Well it was worth mentioning again LOL.
Unfortunately short fiction does not sell these days and my novels have always been too idiosyncratic for big commercial publishers.
