*** Author's note: This is the third part of a story that introduced Derek and Samantha in the first two parts. Although it is not necessary to have read those parts, you will be missing context of the night's events. Thank you to my editor who helped me refine my writing in this chapter. *** ***** Derek A phone started to blare in the dark of the basemen...
Author's Note: This is the last part of "Goddess of Song". However, I have written a short story that is outside the main storyline that I will submit soon after. Hopefully the site will allow me to post the short story also in the Novel/Novella section. If you want to make sure you don't miss the story, please visit my member profile page to catch up on it....
Alpha Forrest held it together until the three Warriors left the room and closed the door. The three, all members of the Banff Pack, had just informed him their Alpha was recalling them immediately and they were leaving the Pack. It had been a bad day, starting with the loss of all his Omegas. He hadn't been woken with his coffee as he normally was at 0530...
They were the eyes of a natural born killer. In a few short months he had honed his craft to a razor's fine edge and five men were now dead, a testament to his skill. How many more would fall? The steed, itself, flanks streaked with its own black, life's blood, had been pushed to the very limit of its endurance, the absolute breaking point of its existence ....
Happiness, your name is Strawberry #3 in the "Strawberry -- a Shanghai Girl in America" stories. This story is the immediate sequel to "Strawberry Loses Face" (which in turn is preceded by "Strawberry's Halloween"). If you haven't already read those, then I kind of recommend you read in sequence before you read this one. Or not as you choose -but they do...
Chapter One: A Declaration of Intent: Howard My name is Howard Wilson Carver. I am a senior accountant at Taft, Collridge and Woolwich, a long-established Boston accounting firm. I am fifty years old and I have risen about as far as I can in this firm. I specialize in business tax management and I am considered the in-house expert on the subject. I earn $85...
**Note to readers: Oh man, I've really written myself into a corner with this one. For the Witch's Want tale, I wanted a guy out of antiquity - a fearsome warrior with a legend. So I picked a name. There seemed to be enough things in Sumerian history for it to work. Ok, that was before I read the rest. I've just found out that their son, Ur-Nammu, had a...
CHAPTER 1 Driving rain and the falling temperature finally drove Holly Jones off the walking track that followed the tops along the mountain range. She could see a back-country road a couple of thousand feet below and decided to retreat to it, hoping someone would come along and take pity on her. The descent was slow because of the loose gravel slides, ext...
Again special thanks to Editor Dave T, who for reasons, only God knows, continues 'the-root-canal- without-anesthetic 'like experience of trying to make my chicken scratch resemble something readable. All and any errors are mine. ++++ "Seriously? You are firing me? You have got to be kidding." My soon to be ex-boss was sweating a bit around the bald sp...
Author's note: This is yet another one of my LW writing experiments. If you read all seven chapters of Shadow Lake Estates I recommend that you click away now, as this will be redundant for you. If you didn't read that story, or if you read the first few chapters and decided it was too complicated to bother reading any further, then this story is for you. I...
