Step through the mirror. Step through at your own peril. It was clear enough that Ed Calkins was murdered while delivering newspapers. Trudy, a poet, sharp-shooter, dominatrix, alcoholic, and auxiliary police officer is certain she knows who did it. She remembers pointing the pistol and pulling the trigger, but she doesn't remember why she shot her best friend. Is something supernatural haunting Munsonville? Or had something possessed her years ago when Eddie secretly won the lottery? In either case, he'd become a vampire, and she must face him again in a duel four days from now. In the meantime, Ed Calkins is bleeding to death and only has seven seconds to create a son for Melissa and John with the help of two others, who both live in his imaginary version of Tara in ancient Ireland. He must also ruthlessly battle agendas or myth and his own unruly imagination while time traveling recklessly through distant future and past. So step carefully through the mirror because you're only guaranteed to learn three things.
- Ed Calkins is ruthless,
- A pistol is no silver bullet in a limerick fight,
- And if Ed Calkins asks you to marry him, he might not ask again.
