This is a little something I started a few weeks ago. I still don't know if I'll add to it or not. It can stand on it's own, I think, or it can also be the start of a larger story. Either way, I decided to share it with you guys. Happy Holidays! Bad ********** They were finished.

Well, I've finally managed to get Billy up on Amazon. Being somewhat computer illiterate, that took some doing. The book is officially listed as "Odd Billy Todd" by N.C. Reed. ( that'd be me :) ) Now that I have, I am asking all of you who enjoyed the story here to do me a favor. Please take a...

When I first placed Billy on Amazon, some of the feedback was that the sentence structure was sometimes off, and that there were a lot of words that were spelled wrong. I tried going back through it, but although I did see a few errors, it didn't seem to warrant some of the comments. Still, I...

My newest book, Monster of Creasy's Hollow, will be available for free download this weekend! No membership needed, just click and enjoy. Merry Christmas! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QR10S12

Several people here on Timebomb have asked me about Parno's Company, a novel that I had posted the opening chapters of on my Wordpress blog, wishing to know if it was going to be published, and if so, when. Parno's Company was released today on Amazon, and this is a link to the page. For those...

I decided to post this because several members have asked about paperback versions of my books. Until now that just wasn't possible since I was self-publishing. There were a few avenues open for that but most of them were, honestly, beyond what I'm capable of. That changed two weeks ago when I...

Hey folks. The publisher has just informed me that he will be issuing "Tammy and Ringo", which is the first book of the 'Rabid' series, at no charge tomorrow and Sunday. Here's a link to the Amazon page if you're interested. I don't know what time something like this starts, but according to the...

Several people had asked me to post a message here when my next Parno novel was available. Parno's Gambit, #3 in the Black Sheep series, will be available to the public next Friday, March 10. It's available for pre-order now I'm told, as well. ...

Fire From the Sky, the first book in my new PAW series, went on sale yesterday. I have had numerous requests that I get 'back' to PAW somewhere along the line, and so I have. This was a project I worked on for about two years off and on, making no telling how many changes along the way. Unlike...

The Knockout Game The old man stood there with tears running down his face, as he watched the funeral director close the casket for the last time. His wife of 50 years was in that box, and he had said his last good byes. The tears that flowed now though, were the tears of anger, an anger so deep...

Does anyone know if Fleataxi ever finished renaissance man? On this site the end is not there. It is a real good read. Thanks, Jonathan

Does anyone know if there is an end to this story? I thought I had read it before, maybe at frugal rat, but on the blog I have recently found it on, it ends about 4-5 chapters from when I remember it ending. Thanks, Jonathan

DH is working on his masters, and his classes involve a lot of writing. One teacher has marked a bunch of places on his most recent paper and made the notation "PV," which he has determined means "passive voice." Can anyone explain in LAYMEN'S TERMS what this means, why it is not good in a...

I've never spent much time in this forum, but thought this might interest someone. A family member is posting job openings at Vook - see vook dot com if you're not familiar with the company. I've posted two job openings on main under ECON and on the Tech forum, but this latest Facebook post of hers...

I got my wife to buy the same colour car as mine so I would only need to buy 1 can of touch up paint.......:D

We were walking down the street. Morning Dove was so happy she was almost dancing as she walked. She was a beautiful young thing. Five foot 2 inches tall, long black hair and eyes that had a twinkle to them. As we walked a young man came out of a store in front of us. She said, “I have to talk...

"The most brilliant novel of our era" - Norman Mailer "I demand the movie rights!" - George Lucas "The best animated film work from an amazing novel we have ever done. " - Steve Jobs, CEO Pixar "Truely, a story for the ages" - Tom Clancy "A masterpiece!" - The New York Review

This story was posted by me about five years ago when I was a member here (different handle). I had stepped away for a time and during that time I reworked the story quite a bit so wanted to share it to get some feedback. Thank you.

I was a member here a few years back (different handle) and posted some of this story. I stepped away for some time to deal with some life issues. During that time I reworked the story so wanted to share the updated story. Hope that you like it. It Begins… The morning was clear, chilly but...

A big thank you to all those who have taken the time to read Withdrawal. I would like to request your help, I definitely plan on finishing the story and publishing it. So to that end if you would take a few moments of your time and answer as many of the following questions as you care to it would...

The young soldier received a direct command on what to do to the prisoner, yet he hesitated. There was something about the broken tortured man that made him feel that to inflict more pain just wasn’t right. He silently lamented that he had been deployed to the Middle East and that he had...

The great plague had ended and stillness had descended upon the land. The Suburban Home She was alone now. They had all left. Some were silent as able arms carried them out while others walked away on their own always coughing in various degrees. She at times cried and kept forever...

I read a PA story online some time ago, and can't remember where I saw it or its name. I know it wasn't on the Squirrel site because I never did get access to it. Here's what I remember (unfortunately I may be mixing two different stories) A man is travelling across a fairly empty America. I...

This isn't fiction, but I thought people here might appreciate it, especially if they are about to think 'yeah right' to a coincidence in a story. My husband sells vegetables at a Farmer's Market and stands beside a lady named Fran. The market has a curb where the vendors stand and there's...

Haven't done any writing in a while, and I know I have a bad habit of not following up. But this time I'm really going to try to keep going. Really :D Prologue I didn’t mean to cause the end of the world. Honestly I didn’t. Now I truly understand the phrase about the road to Hell...

I've done a page listing post apocalyptic fiction and zombie fiction. Now I'm working on Vampire fiction and soon will be working on Werewolf and shapeshifter fiction. I'm just wondering if anyone has any Vampire fiction or Shapeshifter fiction out there. I'm not going to list this board in...

introduction of sorts... :shr: This is a project that I have been working on for over a year now. I have had a long battle with it. It started out to be destined for here at member stories or another free that hosts a more explicit type of content, as I didn’t really know about the rules at...

I attained a Master's degree in busness management. now i am turning back to the fun things. everyone keft me some...

Predator and Prey in the City Jungle Lindsey worked late most every night. She just couldn’t pull herself away when she “got into the groove” on a task. The building where she worked, once in the good section of town, was in a declining section of town. The crime rate began to rise in the...

The rules are simple; make us laugh with rythming verse. Go!

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:

Put them here if you like.

“Gin…” a voice said from behind her. She turned to see Abel standing at the cave entrance. “Why on earth did you murder that poor boy?” “Abel, you don’t understand.” Gin replied, standing. “No, I think I do.” “No you don’t!” Gin said as she put her hands on his...

Chapter 1 Beginnings Dearest Kiari, Neal, Natasha, and I will be spending the next week or two in our cabin at the base of Dragon’s Peak. I would like you to come; it has been eight years since we last met face to face. I am also inviting Astonian; I hope that you both show up. If you’re...

Put the comments you have for "To Save the Lands" here, please.

Okay, let's all have it. Follow Dennis' "rules". Cheif curmudgeons can be snotty when riled. The idea is to write as "bad" a story as we can manage here... It was a dark & stormy night. From the throes of an empassioned dream, Sarah awoke; pulse thready from the uncertainty of knowing if she was...

Sorry, it's been a bit hectic the last couple of days, so I've not had time to do more work. Spent most of today doing a 'run around the hospital for tests' with DH & am fighting another fricking mouth abcess myself. Easy to deal with but... OWIE! Working on next chapter now. Please...

Anybody still reading the chronciles of Tom... I may need to take part of tomorrow off. I woke up with the 'headache from hell' & it just won't quit. Feels like a serious "Been reading too much TB war related stuff" stress headache & I've been fighting the urge to heave all day. Sorry about...

This is something I wrote a few years ago after a friend lost a beloved dog. She was looking for something for her children who'd never suffered the loss of a pet. I lost this, kept trying to find it then today, decides to sit down & rewrite the danged thing. *** Radar’s Rainbow Radar...
