MAKING A MAN FROM SCRATCH

About the Book

The meeting with Eldreth Jones, who claimed to be from a ‘galaxy far, far away,’ had struck her funny bone.  She’d soon need a shingle that said, ‘Jane Marlowe – Pro Bono Attorney to the Universe; Returnees and Aliens from All Galaxies Welcome.’ She’d just made a man from scratch with documents for her last client, Clyde Piggott, who appeared from nowhere, wearing Nineteenth Century clothes, claiming he’d been kidnapped in 1897 by beings in a UFO and experimented on, because he couldn’t be found in any database, and thus, didn’t exist. Eldreth Jones claimed to have hitch hiked back to Earth, where he’d made his own man from scratch and blended his essence with it in a lab in ancient Egypt, on the same spaceship as Clyde. She usually liked referrals, but she could have done without this one.

About the Author

A graduate of Ohio State University (B.A., M.A.), Bryn Mawr College (Ph.D.), and Seattle University School of Law (J.D.), Evalyn Anderson has pioneered the new career reality, recycling from college professor to court reporter to lawyer. After retiring, she embarked on another career – writing. Author of three mystery novels and a memoir of three adventurous years in Cairo, taking the last TWA flight out on the eve of the Six Day War, she decided to leave her mystery heroine, Gale Blackburn, for a while and explore legal problems of people kidnapped and returned to Earth over a century later and of very long lived-aliens stranded on Earth forever.
