Pairings is a collection of micro and flash fiction, personal essays, and poetry, taken from life's observations and other-worldly ponderings. Some of these tidbits, both speculative and mainstream, have appeared in other publications.

George Ivins, author of Intrigues Among Us, The Homicidal Detective, and Mr. Tomorrow's Last Prophecy, says of Pairings: "Raschke's collection travels familiar pathways of the mind, but it is original and convincing... Personal remembrances enrich Pairings, and give validation for Raschke's observations. The book can be read in one sitting, and yet it contains years of wisdom... a fine retrospective and thoughtful work..."
