Chapter One
25 September, 1989 – Montevideo, Uruguay “Nazis? War Fathers?” I asked. “They are long forgotten evils, Mr. Lawton. Why resurrect old ghosts? Why bring Editors’ Choice Award back the old horrors? It’ll only cause pain to a lot of old folks. I know it’ll pain me.” I was sitting with Bob Lawton at Fun Continue reading Excerpt from War Father – Chapter One A long, long time ago, in the olden days when men were men and so were women, a beautiful baby was born. His parents were so proud and happy, but then they noticed that he had a shining golden belly-button. They were shocked and confused and so were the doctors, but the doctors always were, so that didn’t matter. They gave him all sorts of tests and looked in his mouth and under his arm-pits. They were all there (his mouth and armpits) so they decided that everything was in working order and his parents were told to shut-up, that their baby was perfect and the golden belly-button didn’t Continue reading The Golden Belly Button Chapter 6 Nagler took a left from the main road, turning into the subdivision where Lauren Fox grew up. The houses were neat ranches, one and two story homes built in a neighborhood started after the war, set on large lawns, fully treed, yards with bikes, boats, a second car, a few camper-trailers, a Continue reading “The Swamps of New Jersey” Revised, Chapters 6 to 8 A blustery wind blew across the River Thames as Diane Firestone, carrying a yellow wicker picnic basket, walked back to a leased 1936 Riley Kestrel parked near a large hackberry tree off to the side of the road. The breeze was strong enough to make it difficult for her to hold the trunk lid open Continue reading Wrong Place, Wrong Time – The d’Arc – Chapter 1 (excerpt) Previously on Quest for Onepus… After having rescued Tawni and the Ryson family, Larson has volunteered to escort them all to Galindor, one stop short of the infamous Onepus. The days passed by – almost pleasantly I might add – as we drifted through space, the Rysons’ ship keeping time with mine. Tawni and I had Continue reading Quest for Onepus – Part 6 Expect uproar in this excerpt from the novel Adrift in the Sound. The story takes place after the death of Greg, Marian’s boyfriend. The Dogs decide to honor Greg’s memory with a baseball game and challenge the Tuggers, a hard-swinging tugboat team from the docks. The Dogs are a ragtag tavern softball club, mostly drunks and potheads kicking around Seattle in the early 1970s. Lizette, Marian, and Sandy, the mother of baby Violet, live next door to the Dogs. They come along for the game and so do a couple of cops who’ve been tailing the Continue reading Long Ball Prologue My brother Rudy is sinking in Little Badger Lake. The water’s clear on this warm spring day as a cold winter day, so I can see him as he plunges deeper and deeper. His arms are reaching toward me as if I’d dive in after him and haul him to the surface. Air bubbles, little Continue reading Slip Away – Novel Excerpt // Joelle pushed open the dusty door, the squeak of its hinges following her into the room. The attic was more of a loft, the ceiling low but high enough for Joelle to stand up, and sloping downward under the house’s peaked roof. The whole house looked as though it was still living in the Continue reading Joelle’s Discovery – Part One I had been travelling the galaxy for some time now, alone, occasionally stopping on an inhabited planet for food and supplies. I’d had a pretty good system going for a few years. I didn’t have a crew, although the ship is large enough for one, but still small enough for me to handle on my Continue reading Quest for Onepus – Part 1 |
