I heard the sound of feet rushing down the stairs and towards my temporary refuge from the hustle and bustle of life, followed by Sarah arriving breathlessly in the room, as only a 10-year-old can. A...
"Holy shit," whispered Jean, disbelievingly. "Medical kit," Mike said, holding out his hand while he stared at the unconscious pilot. "You've already got one," Tammy said, pointing to the kit lying on the ground next to the survivor. "But she's not Human," Roy said. "Our kits are updated for me," Tammy explained. "So is the infirmary in Waimea." "Oh," s...
CHAPTER 1 -----0----- The opening scene is a dusty, unpaved road in rural Arkansas. It is just before dusk and Tommy Joe and his Pa, Lester, are bouncing along in a rusty old pick-up truck. -----0----- Tommy Joe: "Pa, we got to git us a woman for the farm." Lester: "Ha, for the farm? You mean a woman for you to do! Tommy Joe: "Well, that too, but she...
*Note: I am a great fan of these books but those who have read the series know that Laura is a child at the beginning of the series. I have taken the liberty of making Laura eighteen years old so that she can tell her story of learning how to become a loving wife on the prairie. I am also using the visuals of the actors that portrayed the members of the Litt...
'They are out.' The winds whisper. I have my family circle to protect me. 'They travel far.' I am harder. Stronger. 'They leave your dying cousin.' I do not fear them. 'They have lost some.' Pa will protect me. ' They travel this way.' and the winds chuckle. Time means, that is meant nothing to me. Nothing until they came. Life was a quiet circle ri...
She slept for days afterwards. Sometimes, if I stood in the kitchen and listened intently, I could hear the gentle swishing of the fur as it flopped and wriggled about in her meditation room. The second morning after she feasted on that helpless but ecstatic young man I went to see her. I tingled all over as I opened the carved wooden door to her chamber....

The professor was very pleased with the new PA he hired last week. The past few months had been extremely busy with all the data to collect, papers to write, presentations and classes to prepare, and on top of that a lot of annoying administrative tasks he just couldn't keep up with. The secretary of the department had been bugging him for months about all t...
It wasn't my fault. Not really. I didn't mean to be rough. You gotta remember I had just come off the rugby field. I was hot, I was amped. I was awash in adrenalin and aggression so when I saw Suzy my girlfriend looking so incredibly sexy in that short red dress and high heels, I just wanted to kiss her, touch her, hold her. Yeah, I guess you are right. I a...
I had fun writing this one. I love the idea for the plot, but think I might have rushed the writing. Nevertheless, here it is. Another absurd, over-the-top fantasy story. All characters are of age and utterly ridiculous. Have fun! ***** The woman seated across from me was older, perhaps 45 or so. She was tall and slender, thinner than me by a margin, but t...
