I plan to write more, but I don't get a lot of time for it, so if you like it, please be prepared to wait. Get to know Tommy; he should have a very bright future. * * * Tommy looked up at the clock on the wall, nearly home...
(This is part three of the Mystic Adventure Series. Please consider starting from the first part to get the full story.) * I was roused from my nap by the sound of the outboard motor on a dinghy as it zipped by. By the looks of the sun and the sky, I figured I'd been out for about an hour. Kelly was still snuggled up next to me with her hand on my chest an...
Trevor and Leanna had left the town of Norfolk behind them and were most of the way home when they rounded a curve in the road and were suddenly surrounded by a group of several men on horseback.

Danny had been but a young boy the day the meteor fell from the sky nearly hitting him in the head. He'd felt the 'swish' as it passed by his ear, almost like the sound of a bullet traveling at high speed.
