Note that this novel is divided into two volumes. The stories of Frameshifts portray an imaginary region of Northern Virginia from the present time to the next century. A novel made of eight stories in different genres, it is also a meditation upon loss and transience of special people and of our diminishing habitat. Readers will enjoy trying to solve the murder mysteries, be intriqued with the way characters move between the stories, be puzzled by the relationship that leads a young gay teacher to commit suicide, be surprised by the way the novel takes a turn into science fiction, and be pleased by the way the first six stories have prepared them to understand the two narrative poems at the end of the book.

Sometimes it's an advantage not to be an expert. Richard Rose's brief experiences as soldier and biological researcher, and longer experiences as teacher, supervisor, professor and composer, form the basis for the stories and poems of FRAMESHIFTS, a novel made of eight linked stories about the imaginary towns along the Pawmack River in Northern Virginia. FRAMESHIFTS is about choosing a familiar expertise or shifting one's frame of reference as the situation demands--as in a murder investigation, nuclear incident, suspicious suicide, bioethical dilemma, or the flooding of the eastern Seaboard. No expert on any of these matters, Rose is expert on his imaginary and current residents of Virginia--even after it is no longer Virginia.
