Archaeologist and single mother Macy and her teenage daughter Tiffany are off to a dangerous part of the world, on a foolhardy search for traces of the ancient Egyptian cat-goddess, Bastet. What they find is far more than they bargained for: a dangerous dictator, a mysterious police inspector, and a grizzled Indiana Jones look-alike. You might say the trip takes them right out of this world. Will they get home alive or simply disappear into very thin air? Set in the near future, We Aren't in Kansas is a marriage of a thriller and speculative fiction, with a soupcon of romance.
Macy rose to her feet, leaned over, and poured the entire ruby contents of her wine glass neatly over the crotch of his light gray slacks.

Gathering what slight dignity remained, she pointed her nose at the sparkling ceiling and stalked between the diners. She half expected a plaintive “Do you know how much that wine cost?” to follow her across the room.
Her dramatic exit, marred briefly by a slight stumble on the steps at the entrance, led directly past the flesh and blood hostess frozen at her station, menu tablets in hand, waiting with a party of four. That young lady, her clinging black gown displaying far too much analog information, stood with jaws gaping. The two men beside the hostess took a quick nervous step backward as Macy swept by.
