Consider a community in which teenage girls are married off by their poor parents to men old enough to be their grand fathers; where young girls are encouraged by their own mums to work as prostitutes in order to put food on the plate for the rest of the family; where young women willingly enter relationships with HIV positive men, just because they are rich. Consider also that these girls have boyfriends of their age that they genuinely love and with whom they have steady sexual relationships. Consider that their boys also have multiple partners and take pride in the number of partners they might have at the same time, and, finally, consider that some of the men, girls and boys are HIV positive but remain sexually active and neither care to disclose their status nor to use protection. How much will the virus spread in such a community?This is the question that the writer seeks to answer in this gripping, cunningly constructed novel of closely linked stories set in Uganda, East Africa, which once you've started reading you won’t be able stop…

All Jimmy Ray expects are his usual Saturday morning blueberry scones from Kay’s Bakery. Instead, he runs into his exact physical duplicate - an edgy, heavy drinking doppelganger from an alternate universe. Along with an ominous, Nordic-looking humanoid who has been stalking him, reality is coming apart at the seams like a $2 suitcase. Concerned with what the rival Nordics are up to in the sector, Praying Mantis Aliens are intent upon mind probing Jimmy Ray. Jimmy Ray knows something. As usual, when dealing with humanoids of any type the Praying Mantises are not happy campers. In particular, they do not like the Nordics. It is of utmost urgency to find out what kind of bad business the Nordics are up too. Whatever is happening is of great import because Praying Mantis and Nordic time scouts are running into each other in willy-nilly fashion in nearby reaches of the space-time continuum. Earth-side, government agencies and Men in Black are frantically trying to figure out why all the alien activity. The far side of the moon is starting to look like a parking lot. As if cosmic complications are not enough, Jimmy Ray is also beset with serious marriage problems. He suspects infidelity. His wife and her boyfriend are secretly plotting to steal Jimmy Ray’s, six-figure, gold coin collection – then leaving Dodge. The boyfriend looks forward to relaxed, tropical island living. Jimmy Ray’s wife looks forward to extensive world travel – without the current husband OR the current boyfriend. Ultimately, Cross Pollination is Earth's only hope. Will Cross Pollination be sufficient or will chaos wreak its usual bloody havoc? Cross Pollination is a science fiction tale of “what comes around goes around” – an action-packed human drama compounded by aliens, alternate universes, and dire cosmic consequence.
