Chris Dolley

BookViewCafe.com conquers Europe as science fiction author and memoirist, Chris Dolley, joins the team. Originally from the UK, but now living in France, Dolley has had two SF novels (Resonance and Shift) published by Baen. Currently he is working on a true crime memoir based on his own experience of having to track down the thief who stole his identity and life savings when he moved to France. He describes it as “A Year in Provence with Miss Marple and Gerald Durrell.”

For his debut, Dolley will be offering the first episode of Resonance, serialized especially for BVC.

Eating Machines

This morning, I made pancakes for breakfast. I made a triple batch of batter, intending to freeze the extras. They're perfect in the toaster during the week and make great quick breakfasts.

Aran wandered into the kitchen. "You're making pancakes?" he said. "I already ate pancakes. There were a couple in the freezer from last time, and I ate them while you were in the shower. But," he hastened to add, "I'm still hungry."

The final tally? Counting the pancakes Aran ate before breakfast, it was:

Maksim: 3
Aran: 8
Sasha: 9
Kala: 3
Me: 3

There were no extra pancakes for the freezer . . .
