A/N: I'm working on some errata to correct some of the consistency problems across the series. One which impacts this chapter is helmets. I've kind of flip flopped over how much to include the whole takes off/dons helmets bits, and largely neglected it because it felt tedious to write, so instead I came up with wearing them in sliver form, and activating the...
Lynn was running late. She'd overslept and had to rush to work. She arrived at her office with minutes to spare, and even though she got there on time, she was exasperated. She'd had to throw herself together and drive faster than she liked to. And even when she got to work, things didn't seem to be going right. She momentarily misplaced her office key in he...
While able to be read as a standalone story the forerunner to this story is 'Summer Chapter 22. The Vicars Story Part 1'. This is an unapogetically long story. Not for the fainthearted. I hope that you enjoy the story and plase send your comments, they make the writing worthwhile. Just for the record all characters in this story were over the age of consent...
"But Joe, it's our annibirthery!" complained Annie. "I know, I know," apologized her husband from the other end of the phone. "I asked Clancy, but he said there's no way I could get off this weekend." "Dammit Joe! I was really looking forward to spending some time with my husband." "I know Ann. I'll make it up to you just as soon as this job's done." "I...
Chapter 1 The harvest moon was rising just over the horizon to the east, a big bright orange-yellow globe magnified in size by the refraction of the light through the atmosphere. The sun had set in the west only a few minutes before and its warm glow still lingered in the western horizon, coloring the clouds a beautiful shade of red and purple hues. Maria k...
"Come on... how do I work this stupid magic?" Tarquin mumbled to himself as he waved his branded hand in front of the bowl of water. Ne'shita had told him to summon her when he had specific questions about something, but it was the first time that he'd actually tried. He was standing within the room of a cheap, yet well up-kept inn. He had no idea how many...
For some people working for a company that sells sailing holidays would seem the ultimate perfect dream job. Dave Ross was nobody's sailor, even he admitted it but the job suited him. He was an almost thirty four year old graduate and now the lead Human Resources person in a sizeable public limited company that spanned most of the world. He was responsible...
Author's Disclaimer: This is very much like most of my stories; however, I reviewed some of the comments of my other stories and thought I would improve my writing ability. One of the things that were mentioned was that my stories were too short, and there wasn't much character development. And it's true. Most of my stories are "snap shots" rather than a pho...
If I did this correctly, you shouldn't have to go back read the prologue in order to follow. However if you feel like getting a back story, feel free. Much gratitude for the feedback. Even the not so positive ones. I'm hoping the issues have been addressed but you can be the judge of that. I've split it into time frames to make it more manageable. Hope y...
Hello everyone, I'm sorry I've been gone for so long, but my second book is doing better than I ever expected it to do. With that said, I've been doing A LOT of book signings in A LOT of different places over the past year so; thank you for understanding. As always this is a fictional story so, remember; anything can, and usually does happen in a fictional t...
