Revenge is a dish best served cold. Okay, that sounds right. But if you pursue revenge, first dig two graves. First attributed to Confucius, but later determined to be from the Makado Clan in Japan around 1876. But people are people. Sometimes one has to live through Hell, grow a spine and promise to get even. Only when that promise is fulfilled, can one enter Heaven, here or up there. Let's play it out. Enjoy. #TheStoryteller

The Mayans lived there for more that 2,000 years. Discovered in the sixteenth century by Spaniards, within a very short time span, they were gone. Moved? Disease? There are people who want to know. But now, the Copán River is erasing it! What pays for these field trips to such dangerous places is treasure. Lots of it. The noble mind will yearn for the answers, but gold calls to every heart. Anna Marie Requelle and James Kilroy find they are soon caught up in the temple searches, but they are well-trained archaeologists, too. No gold, no funding. It must balance. However, the place is ...

It was that kind of era. Royalty did not mean much if one was at the bottom rung. Except, maybe as a prize to purchase. But then came the sea voyage, the destruction and the brand new life for a repressed, pampered young royal. And she came alive, finding ways to survive, finding a love she would never have expected, and a family made up of wonderful people. Would she ever get off of Snaggletooth Island? Maybe, but at what cost? A kind love story with the adventure needed to bring it all together. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller

I am a hard-nosed, experienced Detective First. I have solved some of the most vicious murders you can imagine. But something changed. Suddenly the recently dead reached out to me, handing me what I needed to solve cases. However, that is not easy. How do I explain that I discovered the name of the killer from a ghost? As if a key had turned, I loosened up, found the lover I was missing, and then, even more surprising, she soon had the same skill. Not sure how that happened, but we welcomed it. The trick was somehow masking that ability while benefitting with it. We got very good at it, and...

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

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

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. A paraphrase is, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." The more you are surrounded by technology, the more headaches you will find. 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...

Tucson is clawing for a toehold in 1869 Arizona Territory. A mad Master of Death is taking over, unseen, unfelt. Hungry Wolf and Little One, of the Chiracahua Apache are themselves out of place, and not easily fooled. As the only Cousins of the Pale to this monster and his evil creatures, they can do what it takes to end him. Maybe. But they have so much to learn, and so little time. True, a 'Shifter's work is never done...

What is a Ranger for the King to do? It is kind of like trying to find employ- ment as a modern day soldier with only a few skills. So I turned to the adventurous life of the Highwayman, built a crew, shared with the poor and tried to mimic the legend of Robin Hood, long before my time. But circumstances came that began to take over my free life, and while some were wonderful, others were a bit more... well, frightening. I had never been at war. I had never served a Queen. Hell, I had never loved a Princess, but all was coming to be. And, to tell the truth, in this era, it was really good. ...

Fort Hall was the final wagon stop in 1835. The rest was traveled by foot or horseback into the reaches of the Oregon Territory, although more and more of the trail was opening up for the immigrants that had to find their way to the sea. Like many Native Americans, the Shoshone were eventually decimated, then forcibly moved to reservations far from their home. Though the story, Trail of Tears, applied to many southeastern, mid-west and south- west tribes, the Shoshone, enduring the same forced march, nearly slipped into obscurity. But even in the most dire of circumstance, regardless of the...

He seemed a drifter. A no-account man in black in the severe environment of the desert. But that was the way he liked it. He was, after all, a hunter of men, and very, very good at it. But he had thought long ago to have left his heart on the battlefields of the Civil War. He was stunned to find helpless, religious folks under the threat of evil, and then, even more surprised, when one of them helped him discover his heart. He got it back. Now, he was in a different war for a hell of a lot better reasons… Enjoy- GWT #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.

Kin… Agua Caliente has nothing to offer but sagebrush and sand. A dried up, brittle town. Little rain, middle of nowhere. The perfect breeding ground for those who hunt in the night.

Ethiopia is a mixed environment for exploration... and survival. It has had its grand moments, tied in with Jewish history, temples, world wide travel and such. But there are far too many pockets where none of that reached and had not for centuries. Verona Romero is an established archaeologist with a second doctorate in anthropology and Ethiopia calls to her to prove her worth beyond the constant search for treasure. No, the promise, this time, was fame, finding the very beginning of humanity on the dark continent, following in the footsteps of giants like world-renowned ...

Victoria had not planned for this. A nice, comfortable home in the city, plenty of money, a husband who either loved her or loved to show her off. Now, on his 1941 mission to one of the most dangerous places in the world, he had a companion. A reluctant one, and in fact, dubbed an Angel out of Place by the locals. All but one.

It could be a game, but if it is, it is a deadly serious one. The players are not what we expect, but the damage they can do is very real. AI is not the threat. People are.. Since the first computer built connected to the early stage internet, there have been people who think their only game in life is how to steal money or expensive programs. Dr. Margaret Treadson is aware of these people and is convinced she can stop them, but at peril to her own life. Several vignettes put that belief to the test. Even US Army Counterintelligence steps in, but will it be enough? You anger enough whacko ...

Even the most determined space sailor will grow tired of the endless search for a habitable planet. And this one looks really good. Earth-like, but it is exactly mirrored. There is no sign of life, at first which might mean a silent world, theirs for the taking. Good air, water, land, and all they need. Except for the damned roaches. Remember the warning? When all else is gone, who or what will rule the world? Yeah, cockroaches. Then it is proven that life died as we know it more than twenty to thirty thousand years ago! Is this the world we are heading for on Earth? Could be. Now they ...
