Those powers that be, some from a very long time ago, are noted for their patience. Every so often, the right combination of evil and good are in the neighborhood at the same time. Now must the Sleeping Giant wake up and point the good players against an evil so pervasive that it has survived on this planet for ten thousand years. It is too big for a few young men and women to master, but they can make one hell of a dent in it. And draw the adversary's ire. It gets tricky. Hope or pray for a happy ending... or at least a soft landing. Enjoy. #TheStoryteller

The Druids ruled in government, religion, and other positions of power until the Romans showed up in what was called Briton. With cruel intent, the Romans spread vicious rumors about sacrifice and butchery until the Druids were a diminished clan in hiding. The Romans thought they ended that reign, pulled out in the fifth century, and maybe so, but they opened the door to evolution. There were, at that time, hardly noticed, hundreds of Sorcerers playing low key and pulling strings from the shadows. If the two should meet... Fodder for #The Storyteller, of course. Enjoy.

I've been repeatedly asked how it came about. High Country Terror- Chicago Fury had a startten years back, a start that made Marcy Frame famous enough, but drove her toDenver. The vignettes are a little too true, for I, or my friends and partners, lived these stories. This book is dedicated to those who made it, those who did not, and thosethat have moved on. Not all of us are still here. I hope that those who are canremember the events in a cop's life... Others can learn from them... From #TheStoryteller, G. Weldon Tucker

How much do you really know about meetings? We all spend hundreds of hours in meetings each year, but we often don’t think about the five P’s for a perfect meeting. In case you’re wondering, the five P’s are - preparation, purpose, process, performance and pay-off. Meetings are vital for effective leadership, business management, organisational productivity and good communication. However, when was the last time you heard someone say “that was a really good meeting”? I was conducting research into what readers want from a book on minute taking when I was prompted to write this ...

Everyone dreams of sailing the galaxies and beyond, seeking that home for humans, for when Earth runs out of time. There are people working on it in this era, and this story is merely a few hundred lightyears out. Murphy's Law precedes that of the technical Engineers, everywhere.

But several trillion miles from home, the choices to survive them are limited. The Intrepid finds a potential harbor, a port to put into, just as most of the systems aboard seem...

Run quickly... or die. Choose wisely." A good ride featuring the four H's...
