Another MIKE CLAYMORE MYSTERY #7: Carlyle Ode to Mike's Blue Beast Out of the mists late one night, she came to haunt my dreams. She showed me pleasures and passions beyond my wildest dreams. I struggled in her, deep and long, a welling up and a birth, I would never be the same, changed forever on this earth. And now she rules my life. My tower...
"Ah!" Dr. Hagstrom said, looking straight at Beechcroft. "The vulture finally comes flying out of the darkness to descend upon her helpless victim!" The idea of any sound coming from the taciturn Dr. Hagstrom, who had been silent for so long, startled us all. Beechcroft made no reply. She merely cocked her head further to one side as she focused one of her...
Several of you have asked me to write another adventure involving the folks from "The First Deadly Sin." When one of you is Rick at rkv330's (aka Bluedevil) a story gets written. This is his general idea and it's brilliant as usual. I like to put some of my own background into these things. So please keep in mind that none of these exploits are made up. They...
Note: As always, thank you all for reading and thanks to donalde for beta reading. I also wanted to make a correction for chapter 18. I made Warden Ellis a republican and he should have been a democrat. The south at that time was primarily democratic. A reader was kind enough to email me to inform me of my error- thank you for that. ****** Patricia wasn't...
Chapter 11 – Was that bait? "Would you show me the Circle?" The question came from Jenny Harvest. From the tremor in her voice Dave figured she taken at least all-day to work up to the question. "Of course," Dave replied. "If you want, you can follow me home and then leave whenever you want. We do a cocktail hour in the early evening, and then I also inv...
Chapter 6 - Virginia About one a.m., Dave looked around the bed and chuckled to himself. He had wiped out three women, leaving them speechless and in a state that Dave had heard of as 'rode hard and put away wet'. The term had been corrupted from equestrian usage, and these days referred to the totally disheveled and exhausted appearance of the three women...
Chapter One They're changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace — Christopher Robin went down with Alice The words of the song my grandmother had sung to me echoed in my head as I left the conference hall into a crisp London night. London! There was a sense of magic to the place. My granny came from southern England and thought the city was the centre of the...
Tuesday had not been the best of days. So on Wednesday, Jacob Eckholm was not in a good mood. Not hateful. Not bad. He was just . . . there. He got to work early and really didn't want to talk or interact with anyone, but in his job that wasn't an option. Luckily he got to his room before anyone could engage him in conversation, so he shut the door and st...
Sorry that it takes so long but finding time to write is not always easy. I would like to thank Madison (ThanatopicFolds) for all the time invested. Your red pen is the string that holds the story together and prevents it from falling on its ass. I also want to thank all the nice people who wrote me and encouraged me to keep going. On with the story. $$$...
This chapter is dedicated to a group of people second to none. They have helped keep me sane in an insane time by just being themselves. I'd have to go a long way to find a community more giving than The Dawgs. Thanks guys and girls. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Jesus Christ! Tell me you're joking. Tell me that you just thought you'd yank my crank to get...
