East of the Sun and West of the Moon ... This small collection is intended to be the first in a series of short stories that will all take place in and around the small village of McClane, IL. This town is a mythical creation by the author. Readers should not attempt to find or visit this place outside of these pages. The McClane of these stories and the characters within them have all been completely swept away by the wave actions of time.
