A Ley Line Witch Story, Book # (4)
Dallas and Doreen go to Miami looking for a friend they believe has been abducted. What they find is a lot more than a simple kidnapping, but not something that they can't deal with being Dragons. They have a good bit of fun along the way.

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. / (Reviews)
