Jada Hart dreamed of making it big as a TV anchor at San Francisco's WLB-TV. She'd pulled up stakes from her family home in Dallas believing her dream would soon be in hand. But five years later, and still at the same station, she'd covered nothing but fluff news for the entertainment segment. The powers that be only saw a pretty face. They didn't think Jada had the stuff to deliver hard-hitting news. But one day, in walked a new owner, Damian McKnight, who recognized Jada's on-air potential and believed she deserved a shot at the anchor seat. This was despite the fact she constantly challenged him in front of his employees. Any other boss would have deemed Jada a problem worker, but Damian had his own problem: He liked Jada's sass.

Late Breaking is a collection of linked short stories inspired by the paintings of Alex Colville. Each character appears in at least two of the stories, in a greater or lesser role. The most common link is a ghost who directly or indirectly "haunts" the book throughout. There is more than a hint of the uncanny in some of the stories, and a strong whiff of the gothic. At its lightest, this book is dark, refelcting the edgy, distrubing quality found in much of Alex Colville's work. The common theme is the vulnerability of the elder heart. Many of the characters are aged sixty and up. Inwardly, however, they are ageless - yearning for each other sexually and emotionally, falling in and out of love, forming new ties or rediscovering old ones. Not all characters are human...a dog, a horse and an octopus play small but pivotal roles. Death is a constant, taking both peacful and violent forms. Its presence redners the characters' lives and relationships all the more poignant for being... Views: 16
