- "Remember" -- Pete wasn’t proud of his private hate, his personal war that never quite ended, but it had become an indispensable part of him. (Honorable Mention, AIM magazine short story contest)
- "Grounded" --His flying skills and love of flying never waned, but his body turned on him.
- "By a Nose" and "Give Him a Hand" --A small-town police chief deals with big-city crimes in his own inimitable, easy-going way.
- "Force of Will" --When asked what had turned him into an living legend among the pilots, Miltie talked about the meaning of life, spiritual perfection, and his "life-force." He was about to add a new episode to the legend.
- "Degrees of Desire" --He watched her, and Susan watched him watching her, unaware that her past, present and future would soon intertwine in the wake of his unwanted advances.
"A measure of how good these stories are is the fact that we identify with the characters even when they are doing something that most of us have never done, like flying an airplane...A good book to put on your nightstand if you are the sort of person who reads in bed." --Andrew Grgurich, Marquette Mining Journal
