A small change has taken place - now there are three complete stories here: Strangers, Le Chat and All Things Of A Time.  The rest, including the novel Jason 145, are still partial 'teasers', which will hopefully pique your interest and make you wish to purchase them.  Soon, all will be for sale as e-books, and pdf files.  The collection will soon be available in both hard and soft covers, as will the novel(s).  Hope you enjoy them.

This is about a solitary individual, and a sailor of sorts, and the first of the three complete stories here, and available to everyone free of charge.

This magical tale of a cat is one of three 'complete' stories here, and it is so as a favor to Colleen Martin, the woman who 'interviewed' me before allowing me to purchase the most wonderful gift anyone has ever given themselves; a registered Blue Abyssinian named, "Unkamen Little Girl."  (See upper left image)
Every now and then, the unnatural happens to very natural people, in very common places.
A soldier; an invalid, sent home from the war cannot end his discovered love for ending lives.

No matter how successful you might be, someone better can always come along.  And if that someone is so far and away better than you, there's a real paucity of choices available.
He is tall, rather staid, and given to patience.  For Armond, there is an easy predictability to life, and he elects to keep it that way.  And then along comes a miracle.
A kindly old gentleman finds himself caught up in a long forgotten past that has come to haunt him.
Anthony is a bachelor by choice, and an adventurer by birth.  One adventure takes him where all the rules of life change, forever.
This perhaps isn't the definitive campfire tale, but it was a good one when I heard it, about a lifetime ago.
It is often the places where one lives that shape the moments; sometimes for worse, sometimes for better, and sometimes for the rest of our lives.
For Anthony Park it's just another bad assignment.  Like all reporters, he wants to do hard news, and not the feel-good junk.  This time, however, the story, and an audacious beauty, take him into the things going on.
It was only a sound.  It lasted only five seconds, and every human being on the earth heard it, and only they heard it.
Picture this: you're a teenaged female, in a hospital room under close observation for something stupid you did, and someone comes to visit.  Not just any someone, but the most drop-dead gorgeous adult male you know.
Claire Tessman for all her life had been 'almost beautiful.'  And then that all changed.
For Kevin it was a new teaching position.  For his wife, a new school.  For them both it was a journey to a place a bit removed from anywhere else.
