    About this ebook

    They met by chance one foggy night in an alley where Connie was investigating a homicide. A woman with one leg beside a dumpster behind a restaurant, sprawled on her back, clothes ripped and covered with blood, found by kitchen staff when taking out garbage. Uniformed cops milled about. Connie was kneeling beside the body, stood, made some notations in a notebook.

    Author, wife, lover, and amputee. I have been missing my left leg for years. Growing up I felt that it should not be there, and it is has been a blessing to have it gone. Today's term for this condition is BIID and in the past simply referred to as being a 'wannabe'. I am a full-time crutch user. Like my husband, I find amputees fascinating. 'Devotee' is the frequently used term. My stories have characters that mirror my life in some manner - wanted/needed to be an amputee or want to live with an amputee. I make no apology for my descriptions of these people and there is no intent to take away from the suffering of some amputees. I love feedback on the stories, but I cannot promise to reply.
