You are alone in your cabin, about to eat the dinner you've just cooked. You take a bite?but the meal is cold. You return it to the oven, but that's cold, too. You check the clock, and then, in panic, the telephone operator. The answer is the same: somehow, two days have disappeared, and you have no idea where they went. Your only clue: on your leg, a new, blood-red scar.

The Lady From Heaven follows three individuals as they come to grips with their participation in the world-wide phenomenon of alien abduction: A CIA analyst who'd rather be indoors, a young South American boy who believes he's met the Virgin Mary, and a gay cowboy who wants to kill himself.

Although their stories seem like science fiction, Midnight Harvest is based on true experiences shared by tens of thousands of Americans?and untold millions world-wide.

Paul S. Cilwa is himself an abductee. When not communing with non-humans, he has been a computer programmer, trainer, and the author of four books on Windows programming as well as two other novels. He lives in Chandler, Arizona.

Paul S. Cilwa was born in New Jersey but at seven years of age informed his parents he was moving to Vermont and they could accompany him if they wished. It was in a small, three-room schoolhouse in the Green Mountain State that Paul began to write?first numbers and letters, then stories. He's lived in Florida, Virginia, Nebraska and New Hampshire, before settling in Arizona. That's where he lives today with his partner near a preserve of hiking trails called Dreamy Draw.

Paul has written four technical books in computer programming including the bestseller Windows Programming Power with Custom Controls, and many articles on the subject as contributing editor to Windows Tech Journal. His published fiction includes several humorous shorts and two novels in addition to In The Abode Of Angels.
