Violent Stories

Sir Geoffrey was a noble minding his own business when he was suddenly attacked by a cabal of master wizards. This is the story of how he defended himself and his friends with the help of a hedge-witch, Granny Eltman, who was not what she seemed to be. Magic, monsters, and powerful wizards are all determined to kill Sir Geoffrey, so his survival seems all but impossible. This story was inspired by an HBO series. / (Reviews)

I got my heart broken twice, was the third time the charm?

This is a time-travel story set in the very old West. There are no six-shooters or rifles. Rather, it is the story of how a college student manages to survive and make his life better, as well as that of his friends. What would you do if you were plopped down in front of some very hostile Indians who were only interested in seeing what your insides looked like? Luckily, our hero was able to survive those first 15 or so minutes. Could you do as well? / (Reviews)

An older man, who found financial success later in life after enduring years of anguish, grief, and bitterness, unexpectedly meets a stunning, high-end escort at an upscale bar.

This is a violent story of the far West, when the far West was the Alabama Territory. Join Johnny Quartermaine and his friends as they struggle to survive during the Creek Indian War of 1813-1814. The Creeks were laying waste to the White settlers west of the Chattahoochee River. Johnny, his wife and family, and his friends try to live the normal lives of Western settlers, but the "Redsticks" won't let them. Look up the "Redsticks" if you don't believe that they really existed.

The only story I managed to write over the summer break. See my blog for updates on why. Sorry, no sex in this one. As the owner of a minivan and the recepient of the perceptions involved on the occasions I'm forced to drive it, just had to get this one out.

Joseph Bell, an Army close-quarters fighting instructor suddenly finds himself in the middle of a war: King Philip's War in 1675 in Western Massachusetts.

This was the worst Indian war ever fought, both in lives lost and property damage. Just keep your head down and your tomahawk handy!
