For something fast and fun, U F uh-O, A SCI FI COMEDY, Lisa Mason's script for a producer looking for the next "Galaxy Quest" or "Men in Black" that evolved into a novella, is exclusively on Kindle for free!

Nikki and Josh really want a child but have infertility issues. Gretchen and Mike have the same problem. When Nikki meets Gretchen at the Happy Daze Family Clinic in Pasadena, they discover that they share a love of music and have asked for a donor with musical talent. Nine months later, they give birth to very unusual babies and, seeking an answer to why the kids are so special, they meet again at a pediatrician's office. And the search is on: who-and what-is Donor Number 333?

For something different, TESLA, A WORTHY OF HIS TIME, A SCREENPLAY, which was read by the producer of "Aliens" and "The Abyss" and is currently under consideration at another L.A. producer, is on Nook and Kindle. A List of Sources is included in the ebook.

Genius. Visionary. Madman.

Nikola Tesla (1856--1943) was the pioneering genius who invented the AC electrical system that powers our world to this day, as well as radio, remote control, the automobile speedometer, X-ray photography, the AND logic gate that drives all our computer systems, and countless other devices and precursors to devices such as cell phones, television, and the Internet that we so effortlessly use today.

Strikingly handsome and charismatic, fluent in half a dozen languages, mathematics savant and master machinist, a reed-thin perfectionist who quoted poetry like a Victorian rapper, Tesla became one of the most famous men of his day. Friend of tyc.o.o.ns like John Jacob Astor and Stanford White and celebrities like Mark Twain and Sarah Bernhardt.

Yet Tesla was an intensely driven and lonely man, beset by inner demons, and cursed with a protean inventive imagination a century ahead of his time. He died in obscurity and poverty and, to this day, his name is not widely known. How did that happen?

Blending historical fact with speculative imagination, Lisa Mason explores the secrets of the Inventor's inner life and his obsession with Goethe's Faust set against the backdrop of sweeping technological changes at the turn of the twentieth century that have forever changed the world.

New! Lisa Mason's romantic suspense, Celestial Girl, A Lily Modjeska Mystery, will be on Nook and Kindle at the year's end.

Strange Ladies: 8 Stories, a collection of stories published in magazines and anthologies worldwide, will be on Nook and Kindle in early 2013.

Also forthcoming is The Quester Trilogy, an ebook adaptation of Lisa Mason's early cyberpunk cla.s.sics, Arachne and Cyberweb.
