Guys like Greg will do almost anything to get laid. He'll even let his girlfriend drag him to a sandcastle building competition on a sweltering summer day when he'd rather lounge around inside playing video games. Only these sandcastles are far from ordinary, especially the sandcastle shaped like a beautiful woman. A woman Greg can't look away from. No matter how hard he tries. "The appearance of a new Annie Reed story is a treat. Try one and you'll be hooked." -- Dave Hendrickson, author of CRACKING THE ICE, forthcoming from WestSide Press "A friend recommended the works of Annie Reed. I was not disappointed. In fact, if her other shorts are as good as this one, I plan to read many more." -- Carol Davis Luce, author of NIGHT GAME (reviewing Annie Reed's short story CHANGELING) Author Annie Reed is a prolific, award-winning writer whose stories have been published in numerous science fiction and fantasy anthologies, as well as in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine.
