Chapter 17 The Farmer's Daughter and the Traveling Salesman In those days with the roads rutted and washed out by the first hard rain, unless expanding their routes and/or enjoying being stuck in the mud, traveling salesmen didn't stray and venture out much further than a few miles past the city limits. There were plenty of farms bunched together near the...
The insane author, Jenny Jackson, sat on a bench near the corner of 39th and 7th Avenue in New York with a yellow legal pad across her knees. The swirling snowflakes of late December danced at her feet as she watched her character, the Private Eye, Harry Dick, across the street. Harry was dressed as a Santa Claus bell-ringer.

Rorikstead Naadia Heart-Striker awoke the next morning completely refreshed. She stretched and lounged for a moment under the warm blankets and furs. She remembered each detail of the dream she had experienced and savored the moment.

I surfed the channels giving every station the standard 2-second shot at catching my...
I inhaled the crisp and clean morning air. The car was cold and I could feel the metal sting my skin through my sweater as I leaned against it. I looked down again at my watch, almost time. I made my way along the fence and waited at the gate, the doors would open soon. It seemed like forever and then the heavy doors started to click and swung open. Four guy...

As she approached the galley, however, she was surprised to hear both Gene and Suzuka having a nearly rare civil conversation, and som...
Once upon a time, in a castle on a mountain surrounded by forests there lived a beautiful young girl called Princess Lilla who everyone fell in love with until they met her and realised what a spoiled, vicious tongued, vindictive, vile little madam she really was. Her father loved her and would do anything for her because she was completely impossible if he...
CHAPTER THREE "Already our child weighs heavy on me and slows my labors, my beloved." My darling wife Alta casually mentioned to me late one evening, just after mid-summer. "I sure that it does!" I congenially replied. Already her belly was quite swollen and she still had several months left before the child was due to be born. "Indeed, I'm quite falling...
Prologue Stormhellion Castle Anteran 1320AD (After Dragons) The stony-faced man and the cloaked, hooded woman walked almost unnoticed through the jostling, drunken crowd in the gaily-festooned Great Hall. The festivities had been gathering speed since before lunch and most of the courtiers were now too far in their cups to make the distinction between one...
