About this ebook
A night and a day have passed since Eric Singer died under a pile of snow-packed branches and Julie Creggan emerged from the woods. Her sexual assault allegation has leaped from local media to national 24/7 breaking-news echo-chambers, even reaching the backrooms of Spurion Futures where Robert Worthington rationalizes away his involvement and considers how this may benefit his career.

I'm a long-time resident of Windsor, CT living with Cheryl, who I've known since first grade and been in love with since senior year in high school. We've raised three children: Aaron, Kay and Rose. Raised three children? That's a vast understatement. Together, these four people have given me experiences and insights which have continually redefined how I see myself and the world I live in.Job-wise, I'm a retired mechanical engineer who designed and developed a specific type of machine used in an aircraft system which few are aware of, but all air travelers depend on. At its best, the job was creative and rewarding and payed the bills. At its worst, it’s something I'm grateful to never have to do again. And now I get to write every day!So call me Chris. I use he/him pronouns. I'm a cis-gender heterosexual white upper-middle-class male who respects the power of labels, the freedom of no one to be limited by them, and my own evolving ignorance.

Notes on Scenes of Winter
Scenes of Winter is a fictional work of linked short stories inspired by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's 2018 hearings on the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. This story is not about the hearings, but focus on how the issues raised--sexual violence, gender roles, racial biases and classism, competition versus cooperation--intersect in our day-to-day lives.
This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, organizations, places and events are either products of the author's imagination or used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events or locales is entirely coincidental.

Where’s Julie? (Scenes of Winter: Episode 1)
Twenty-six-year-old Julie Creggan has been out of sorts for days. Eric, her boyfriend and two years her junior, has a vague uneasiness that he refuses to unpack. Instead, believing a winter storm has passed, he pressures her to go snowshoeing with him. In the aftermath of a sexual assault—in the shadow of the perpetrator and the resurgence of the storm—a victim and the bystander deal with their inability to communicate with life-altering consequences for them and the world beyond. If Julie
