It isn't free, but you can now buy and read my husband's historical novel (based on his own research and his own translations from the original Anglo-Saxon) in the Kindle Format (a lot cheaper than the hard-copies are). If you like well-written, well-researched, historical novels of the old...

This story was born by a single rhetorical question a friend of mine posed a while back: "What will happen when all of these home schooled children grow up and enter society?" Anyway, thought I'd pay you all back for the enjoyment and knowledge I've gained in your stories. All comments are...

Some of you will remember part of this from fs. Maybe with you all poking at me I'll get it finished. My Beloved My Dearest Beloved, I write this not knowing when I will be able to mail it to you. No doubt mail there has stopped just as everything here has. I was at the jobsite when...

Another short one that's been rattling around for a few months. Hope you enjoy. As always feedback is greatly appreciated. Jack punched angrily at the radio station buttons in his truck. He wondered for a moment why he bothered to be angry, he had performed the exact same frustrated...

I got the bullets, you grab the beans (or Its the big one Lena!) From the journal of Mr. Jack Dalton, and transcripts of the trial of Mrs. Lena Dalton, FEMA District Court 2, Western Enclave Journal Entry 1 Day 1 I awoke to the sound of the EMS radio going off, jolting me from my sleep. I...

I was wanting to get the general input from the reading crowd, if you judge as have I of late, why is it that it seems that this genre's writing crowd has dried up as late? I know my muse has been long absent, and I place no blame nor ill will upon IJT's doorstep.

This is a story my brother is currently writing and he as given me permission to share this with you. Please put comments in comments thread. enjoy. "End of Days" August 2006

I got to thinking about the troublemaker and i remember it was a excellant story and i was wondering if it ever got finished and if anyone...

JMurman I hope you and your family are well and life is good. I was wondering if you could give us a update on where you are with the story The Greater Good. Please i beg you do not leave us hanging to long :groucho: MichaelUK

Day Late was considering more books for this series. I wanted to re-read before taking off into new ones. Here is an index of the first six if anybody wants to catch up too. Book 1...

(Author's note: After having read the EOTWAWKI classics of "Alas Babylon" and "One Second After", I thought that I would take a whack at the genre. My story would be more from a woman's focus and would carry along a deliberate Christian/Catholic angle. I started this a week ago. Now, for the...

While I struggle thru the rest of chap. 4, I would like to share with you this never published, (not for lack of trying), classic from a writer called P. I. Volkens. If you took the Denver Post back in the late 70's and early 80's, you knew Phyllis I. Volkens. Her byline appeared in the paper...

It's been three years since I last posted in the members' story section. I have not been idle in real life tho' I can tell you that. In short: I've given up "God in his Mercy" for now. Yeah, it was a great idea but then real life came barging in that was the end. However, as a lover of a...

Once upon a time, on another site, I read an excellent short story. Started with a grandfather showing his grandson a cache of weapons - grandson tells mom, who tells government agent. The second part is years later - grandson is reflecting how mother died due to inability to have surgery...

I realize that most of the interest in this SIG is bound to be the unfolding of original stories, written by our members. The original question about the SIG called this a "literature" SIG rather than "Member's stories." Literature would include poetry as well as prose. Question: Is...

The Shallow Grave Lay me in a shallow grave Grass above, the wind doth wave No time left for me to save-- Never more an earthly slave Look on me and you will see In my eyes, eternity All these days of work and pain

Hi all, I just finished reading this story by CanadaSue. I have to say that it was gripping. I think it is one of the best teaching stories I have read. It is very comprehensive. For those who haven't read it, it is told in the form of a journal. It was written in 2002. Also, it's only fair that...

Where is Andrea?

Made mine.........just sayin'. :D

I found an app to use to keep a list on my desktop of the stories on the different web sites and let me edited it when a new chapter is posted. I found this in the Apple Apps store but there must be others out there for other computers. The name of the one I found is Delectus. It's set up so you...

The comma says "Let's slow down for a second here". The period says "We better just stop right here". I found this very helpful. :p

Grammar: The difference between feeling your nuts and feeling you're nuts. Just when you think it does not mattered. :lkick:

An English professor wrote the words, “Woman without her man is nothing” on the blackboard and directed his students to punctuate it correctly. The men wrote: “Woman, without her man, is nothing.” The women wrote: “Woman: Without her, man is nothing.” Very big difference. ;)

I need to print this out and put above my computer. :lol: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 32 Words That Used Incorrectly Can Make You Look Bad Easy to get wrong. And easy to get right.

The North Star (unsanitized) Flying paper, a remembered ticker tape parade. Exploding fireball. Surreal. Unreal. A movie reel. Get out. Go north. Away. (They said to stay!) I left, thirsty, trying to communicate. No connection. It was no accident.

Sun rise! Return to cast light on the cold earth, Hope for bright beginnings, A new day comes and The longest night is passed. There’s sunlight on snow, Rainbow water drops melting Each a different color,

hi just wondering if it was possible to add a section for completed stories i know from previous forums a lot of stories get lost once they are completed and work down the forum as nothing is added. by having a completed section this doesnt happen as everyone know they are done and can browse the...

CHAPTER SIX HERE THERE BE TYGERS Long after Maggie left I remained in the CP alone with my thoughts. I was ashamed of the drunken performance I had put on, but the underlying emotions were all to real. I felt a tremendous sense of guilt over the deaths of the refugees who I had...
