For any of those who may not be aware. Go to Kathy's blog http://forsakenharvest.blogspot.com/. She is adding a lot of new chapters. As usual with Kathy another excellent story.

Hello all, I tried to post a short story that I worked on but it never appeared. I started a new post, opened with a short background entry and then just pasted in a Word Document. What did I do that was wrong? Do I have to submit is as a .PDF? or some other format? I did it twice so it was not a...

Just in case I decide to continue..... .....RVM45 :cool::shkr::cool:

The Old Man. The old man watched as the young men, looking war like in their cammo’s left to join their militia units. He had been too old to fight in the last war and did not even bother trying to join for this one. He envied the young, with their strong bodies, their enthusiasm and...

Acorns and Wood Smoke Keith Vantine puffed contentedly on his pipe and looked around what he thought of as "his" retreat. After his and Jeremy's return, from a mostly unsuccessful foraging trip, a few good hot meals and a couple of night's sleep in a real bed, instead of hanging from a tree limb...

My First Gun..... Well, kinda my first. I Pretty Much "Owned" my Father's 12 Gauges and .22 Rifles by that point--they were mine to use any time that I wanted to, and it was well understood that I was to inherit them when the time came..... And sadly, that time has come. I can remember a day...

I've finished posting Karma, and am trying to decide what to post next. I have 'The Letter' a 13,000 word Christmas story, and 'Marla' A 37,000 word novella (this one while rated 'M' for mature, due to violence and sexual situations. is still tamer than the romances you can pick up at...

This story got away from me a little, one of the main characters in the outline didn't even show up. (He took one look at what was happening, and he left town). This is the most explicit story I've ever written, but it is still tamer than the romances on the shelves at walmart. It is a 37,000...

I've posted the first part of the next story in my ZPAW series, 'Karma'. (Up in the members only section, so you'll have to log in to see it.) There are a lot of zombie stories out there where the characters act callously, selfishly or downright evil. They usually justify these actions to...

Here we go. :)

Anyone have a copy (full) of this? Can't recall where i downloaded the one i have, it only goes to the end of Chapter 50. I have no idea if this was just left hanging, as happens to many stories, but would love to have the rest if it is out there. Plot covers the complete economic collapse of...

To keep the story threads clean, please post your comments in a comment thread. Authors, please make comment threads. Readers, PLEASE use the search function to elusive comments threads or create one if it is a NEW story. --- Exceptions would be for short-short stories. ----- Like...

Starting this thread to move the comments here, so the story can be 'clean' Alangator, Fast moving, excellent character development, clean timelines. Some very minor edit issues if you're receptive, I'll pm you them latter. I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next installments.

I'm excited I just got to do another radio show to discuss my book "Shift" this past week. It was on the Bible Czar radio program. My book is FREE on this site HERE. All I ask is a couple things: If you read it and like it, consider donating to this site what you might pay for the book, and...

Hi all, You might want to watch Where Have All the People Gone. It is posted (in parts - but all there) on Youtube. Here is the link for Part 1. I won't give away the plot - and there are a few holes in the plot, but it is interesting to watch. It was a movie of the week I think. Peter Graves...

This is the 1st unedited survival story I wrote several years ago – It was posted on another site and if you have read it just disregard it. I will post the next 23 in due time as soon as I retrieve them. As always comments are appreciated. As soon as I post my older stories I will start posting...

Mariana Rodriguez's face showed off every painful wrinkle of her 56 years of rough luck. She'd been stepped on and dumped, suckered and abused, in poverty the entire time, but she'd worked and worked hard, at menial jobs, just struggling to survive. Her futile tries for a better life would most...

Dennis, Deena, Just out of couriosity, how much "business or traffic" has increased here since The frugal screwup? If its not a secret or such. WAB

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

.... of the Carpenter Papers? I always thought there was more to it. WAB

Ok, Just started on this but some friends have been real encouraging so here goes. Tribal: Prolog The ball arched high in the air, briefly eclipsing the sun as it slowed almost to a stop before heading downward again. Gaining speed as it rushed toward the screaming children below, It...

SShe is not a member here, but for all of us who read Patriot Fiction and then got kicked out of the squirrel tree: http://carryondamaris.blogspot.com/2011/06/chapter-one.html 11 Chapters posted as of tonight. For the blog of all of her stories:...

We are waiting anxiuosly for more of "The World We Live In" story. Any idea when we get to read more? WAB

It's just been moved to the Private forum. So if you want to continue reading it, you must register and look in the members private area.

"Oh no!!! This can't be happening yet! I thought we'd get at least a little warning before this happened - even ten minutes or something!" These thoughts were racing through my brain as my car cruised to a stop and died. "Okay, now get hold of yourself and think! Think! Obviously an EMP has...

I wish you had started one. Well, here it is.

That is all the complete writing that I have. Somehow the Muse seems to have left me. Sometimes that's a relief--Sometimes its a mild sorrow. All that I have now, is about a half dozen stories that I abandoned halfway through. The trail has gone cold far too long for me to pick it up...

This was written as a prologue to a Super-Flu PAW story. I added the last bit to fit it in with my zombie stories. It is a stand alone short showing the spread of an infection from just one vector. (the running count is the number of people that catch it from him and does not include those who...

Where is Andrea?

Please post your comments here. WAB

I would like some comments of my stories. Whether it is a good comment or criticizism, it helps when I write others. Has anybody read them yet? I am sure the other authors feel the same way. WAB

I was just reading it Monday night and I noticed it's gone from the page. I tried to access it via his link from Dennis' "master list" thread and the link returned an error. Was it taken down for some reason? :confused:

As you can see above, Dennis installed a new private sub-forum for member stories last night per request. If any of you authors want me to move your stories there, please let me know. Also, if you want comment threads merged with your stories, I can do that. Just let me know

Chapter One Steve looked back over the past few months in his mind, while he continued to stay in his hiding spot, praying silently that he wouldn't be found. If he could only stay out of sight for a couple of hours, his chances of escaping would be greatly improved as night fell. He let his...

I didn't see a comment thread for Second chance if this is a dup just delete. Great story. I am up to chapter 38 now :).

Hi This one started out with the guy going to the mall. When he gets there he notices some muslims coming in. They draw guns and so does he. He kills them...then the gov. tries to pin it on him. He is wounded. It's not an old story but would like to locate the author & story title thx...

Wow. Just wow. :applaud::applaud::applaud:

We are suffering a dearth of good reading material on the forums. Can you remedy the situation? Please.

I was recently asked on this Forum, if I had Asperger's Syndrome--Maybe--but they hadn't invented that in my formative years. I will tell you a true story--maybe two--right quick. When I was in the US Army, I had a Sargent who claimed to have been an undercover agent with the GBI (Georgia...

Pretty exiting! I wasn't as nervous as I thought I'd be. Lynda Brown (St. Louis) interviewed me for Author Talk about my novel, Shift.:sht: Not a mega huge deal, but I had to share. Main thing: for you writers out there thinking about perhaps publishing one day, some good information shared...
