At this mysterious link is a selection of books by an author who I have had the pleasure of meeting personally. In person you might not notice her as she appears to be entirely normal. She looks like a middle class, middle aged, slender American woman and that's true. However, she is also a multiple novelist, and a powerful advocate of writers in Indiana. Her name is Barb Shoup.
As a teacher, and an author, like myself she would tend to be frightened of and offended if confronted with the real life Gezka FaucMerz or Kiel Bronson, even if it is after Gezka is more relaxed and they are running the Interstellar mercenary Order The Children of Loki smoothly. This would be a normal reaction even if its safer because Kiel is there: the young alien Captain is often calmer when the older Earthling Sergeant is there. Still, most of us don't feel all that comfortable around infantry soldiers fresh out of combat and only less relaxed around murderers. Our fear of them is normal.
