D.T. Iverson: Stories

People who lead unassuming lives interest me; especially if those folks are anything but simple. So, I'm offering you another trip to small-town Wisconsin. The story, looks at trust, from different angles. It is probably more appropriately a Romance. But, it ticks one of the more cherished boxes of the Loving Wives set; wife-watching. So, I put it there. Of course, my aim is to always be original. So, what you think, might not be exactly what you get - Enjoy, DT.

Each year, I post a tribute to honor service. The aim is to highlight groups that might not otherwise be recognized. This year, I took it a step further. The Dickin Medal reminds us that humans are not the only species capable of honor and commitment. It has been awarded 74 times to animals for “acts of conspicuous gallantry and heroism in war.” That is the case with the subject of this story. He epitomizes valor and selfless devotion to duty, and that is why I’ve chosen to tell his story.

Part of Historical Romances
This explores the concept of karma. It involves two souls moving on the river of time. They represent the male and female side of the same coin and fate will inevitably bring them together. Some would call that love. Others might call it predestination. One way or the other, the human condition always dictates the outcome. Perhaps you've had the same experience. This presents two instances of many meetings. I hope you enjoy my little story - DT

The Further Adventures of the Wilson Women
This is about the way perception shapes our lives. In my experience, everybody's actuality is in the eye of the beholder. The problem is that, people are terrible eye witnesses. So, they can make life-altering choices based on hazy snapshots of reality. If the picture was clearer they might make better decisions. But, people are rarely that smart; especially where emotional things are involved. At least, that's what I'm playing with here... Thank you for reading me - DT

The Further Adventures of the Wilson Women
The beauty of reposting is that I can build an overall narrative out of three separate pieces. This is the first in a series of stories written at different times and for different reasons. The question under debate in this first one is," Does a single snapshot tell you anything meaningful about a person?" It begins under the most prejudicial possible circumstance. Then it evolves based on who the protagonists really are. It definitely isn't romantic. But it IS a love story.

This is just a bit of fun, meant to entertain you in a tough time. It's been a while since I've posted a story that didn't wander off into reincarnation, the wild west or Word War Two. So I thought I try a formula morality tale. You know the trope, caught the bitch, burned the bitch, humping the divorcee next door. Of course, I'm aware that this particular warhorse has been ridden a million times already. So, I tried to give mine a slight alien twist. I hope you enjoy - DT.

A story in the The Tugboat Man Universe
The title tells the tale. The wife is from Atlantis. So, there are some unavoidably sci-fi aspects. But, this is actually nothing more than pure romantic adventure. I hope that you enjoy reading it, as much as I did writing it. D.T.

A story in the The Tugboat Man Universe
This is my third Tug story. In this one, our hero and his Atlantean wife solve the mystery of Jack the Ripper; thereby, saving the world from Nazi Armageddon. Their discoveries expose the real truth behind the Whitechapel murders, along with some of the more unsavory elements of Victorian society. Along the way, they meet the legendary Victorian swashbuckler, Harry Paget Flashman. And, King Edward the Seventh tries his luck with our hero's wife. Read on, and enjoy!

A story in the The Tugboat Man Universe
To those of you who have read me elsewhere. I have been encouraged to let my freak flag fly and this site seems like a good place to start doing that. I consider myself the poet-laureate of the nerd world. And I like my stories with a little sex and a whole lot of twists and turns. That's what you I am giving you here. I hope that you enjoy this as much as I did writing it. And because it was so much fun, you can expect more along this line. D.T.

A story in the The Tugboat Man Universe
Tug and his Atlantean wife are in Camelot, where backstabbing and adultery are the favorite pastime. The mission is to prevent an Athenian super weapon from destroying Anglo-Saxon culture. The problem is that Maria has to seduce King Arthur to get it. Meanwhile, Tug has to joust with one of the knights of the round table while worrying about his wife playing footsie with the King. It isn't Sir Thomas Mallory, or even Mark Twain. But I hope you find my little tale entertaining.
