    About this ebook

    "As always, this was beautifully written..." Indie EBooks

    “Imagine you could go beyond merely describing an emotion,” Walter said. “Imagine the possibility of experiencing someone’s feelings.”

    “I don’t understand. What are you saying?”

    “Inside this box is a... thing. A device. An emotion machine. I want you to have it...”

    What if you could experience another person's feelings? Dare to find out...

    This Greyhart Press e-book is a novelette, a perfect length to enjoy in one sitting over a lazy lunchtime.

    Author

    Nigel Edwards

    Born far too many years ago, Nigel now live in Milton Keynes, middle England, with his good lady wife, and works in the IT industry in Berkhamsted. He attends the Northampton SF Writers Workshop each month, where contributors work is subjected to very constructive critique. Nigel's ambition is to win the lottery and retire to the romantic coastline of Cornwall, there to remain until he become a part of the rugged scenery in the fullness of time. He has a motor bike that's rusting nicely, and a car that serves as target practice for any birds that happen to be around. Sometimes he and his wife go for a cycle ride. Sort of. He says "We pedal for about 200 yards then pause while pretending to adjust the chain or something. One day we hope to reach the end of the road." Nigel has written several short stories, including The Tower, published in Shoes, Ships and Cadavers by NewCon Press, and Waif, published by Greyhart Press. He has also written a children's fantasy novel, The Scrapdragon, that he is looking to place. Currently he is working on a series of vignettes under the working title of The Village, a collection of quirky tales with a linking theme.
