The Big Time

The Big Time

My name is Greta Forzane. Twenty-nine and a party girl would describe me. I was born in Chicago, of Scandinavian parents, but now I operate chiefly outside space and timenot in Heaven or Hell, if there are such places, but not in the cosmos or universe you know either.

I need it, for my job is to nurse back to health and kid back to sanity Soldiers badly roughed up in the biggest war going.

Have you ever thought that the whole universe might be a crazy, mixed-up dream? If you have, you've had hints of the Change War. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
