Fiction Stories

A young boy of ten loses his parents, leaving him at the mercy of Child Protective Services. When he expects the worst, a legitimate foundation swoops in, offering him a new family and a chance to regain his future, perhaps even a better one. Nothing is free in this world though, and no foundation or corporation is completely benevolent, especially one that holds lucrative patents in nanotech.

As the title suggests, this story is a tribute to cmsix, one of my favorite authors, may he rest in peace. I realize that he only completed 19 stories of the 57 he started, but they are always good for making me smile. The plot is simple: Modern guy dies and ends up in a made-for-TV contest on a planet equivalent to Earth 40,000 years ago. Don't bother reading it if you're looking for a lot of emotional drama. This story is simply for your entertainment.

A lonely man finds a second chance at love one Christmas. Can fate strike twice?

Two souls in 1870s America. One is a tailor, living on the Great Plains and trying to escape his ghosts and his pain. The other is a teacher, dismissed from her Pennsylvania classroom after daring to advocate for women's suffrage. Both are bloodied by life, but refuse to break. This is their journey to finding themselves and each other. Caution: the "rape" code, while necessary to the story, is *not* treated erotically. Inspired by the songs "Mr. Tanner" and "Mail Order Annie" by Harry Chapin
