Ma/Fa Stories

A story set in the Pinwheel Universe
A UNN fleet on routine patrol near the outskirts of Coalition space encounters a previously uncontacted civilization, but while the aliens seem friendly, the Betelgeusian hive fleet that's sizing up their homeworld is not. Undersupplied and months from the nearest reinforcements, the fleet must coordinate with the locals in order to organize a last ditch defense of the planet. (Please note: this is the HETEROSEXUAL edition.)

A Ley Line Witch Story
In Book 3, Maddy's life changes even more now that she has accepted being a Dragon. There are new challenges and decisions that are forced on her and her new husband. David De Tocqueville also struggles with things that he is required to do.

This work is the conclusion of Scout, by Warlord, an unfinished story that captured my imagination and demanded a conclusion. Whether or not my conclusion is anything near what Warlord had originally planned, I have no idea, but it is what I came up with. I realize that my writing style differs from his, but I tried to maintain as much similarity as possible for as long as possible.

When a dragon terrorizes a peaceful mountain village, a grizzled mercenary named Iden answers the call. With his sights set on the beast's treasure hoard, he begins his arduous climb to the misty peak, but what he finds in the dragon's lair turns his world upside-down.

A Seattle Noir Cyber Mysteries Story
Deb Riley is on the case again, this time with a dead woman and a house full of computers. Hacking into the computers could start a deadly game when the neighbors, and the dead woman, aren't what they appear to be. This story takes up immediately following "Municipal Blondes". Reading them in order is not necessary, but helpful.

As Christmas in the main story's timeline is approaching, and the echoes of Carol's time with Tony will be heard, I figured it was about time to post this here. Carol's relationship with Tony has formed a great deal of who she is, and influenced a lot of the main story line.

A story in the Angels Universe
In the dry and unforgiving Namib Desert, on the Skeleton Coast of Namibia, Ashwin Windsor need to recover and fly out an old DC-3 aircraft. But what is the connection between the aircraft, the red head fire eater Angelique Rothman, her uncle, and "blood diamonds" out of Angola? And who else is involved?

A Linkage Story
The Waiter's Tale sheds light on the life of the Chevalier and introduces characters pivotal to the story arc(!). The story contains a lot of travel and fornication, although much of the latter is noises off so to speak. There are also gobbets of history, music, and film talk. Threading through the tale is what could be considered a coming of age story. Judge for yourselves, although the first two stories in the Linkage series (both very short) will need to be read to make sense of this story.
