This is my most recent story. I worked more on character development and tried to improve with less use of exposition. It's about 120,000 words, IIRC. Hope you can see some improvement. Again, the characters are dealing with the economic challenges I think could come upon us at any time. ...

I haven't quite finished this one, but my health is a problem and I wanted to get what I have posted. Hope you like what I have here. NOT QUITE EDEN CHAPTER 1 The Hunt The juniper thicket was dense. At least it would stop the wind. It would have to do, Clay decided. ...

I'm a newbie here, but a long time prepper and a beginning writer. This is the first novel length thing I wrote, and it shows of course, in the defects it has. I've done 3 more since this one that improved some. It is about 220,000 words, so be patient about me getting it all posted. But...

This is the second tale I wrote. It covers the quite different experiences of several families through an economic debacle and societal breakdown. I have been trying to learn a different aspect of what makes a good tale with each one. There are a lot of things to learn--style, plot,...

Paranoia Erickson's was a combined Small Range and Gunstore. I was always a night person anyway. According to my father, I've been a night person since earliest infancy. So when Erick decided to keep the Gunstore open till 3:00 AM several nights a week, I was all in favor of it.

Exciting Saturday Evening - Copperhead Life can be stranger than fiction.... Well we had an exciting few minutes this evening when the DW found a copperhead sunning on the front steps as the sun was setting. Bully, our Jack Russel Terrier, was eyeing it ready to pounce when the DW swept...

The baby in Clora's arms slept quietly as she and Mark knelt on the grass. They were touching shoulder to shoulder and Mark had a possessive arm around Clora. Mark was praying aloud. Thanking God, who by His Grace and Blessing had brought them through another earth shattering crisis. Couple by...

This is something that has been running around in my head for a while. If you would like to see more, let me know. Sailor Sam by Fastback65 Chapter 1 The sun reflecting off the water on to Sam’s tanned neck, finally got the best of him. Between the fiberglass dust and the sweat...

Hello everyone. No, I wasn't abducted by aliens. No, ISIS did not recruit me. No, I didn't die. Life has been very full and I've been dealing with it. I finished a story over on my blog but I just haven't had the time to do much more than that. I have however got a story that I'm posting here...

A little one off put together awhile back- I guess with the third anniversary of the Great Seacouver quake coming up, I’ll go ahead and tell you our story. It was a simple summer workday like any other. I was in town picking up some groceries at the new market down by the waterfront. My...

#1 "Ready up," Mark sang out, "let's move." When they had stopped to iron out the problem of where they were headed, tired people needed the rest. Now they were restless, ready to move. There seemed to be a lightness, a relief that the caravan had been whittled down to the core seven; and the...
