Some time tomorrow, my latest book, Stormcrow, which is a sci-fi novel, will be offered for free on Amazon by my publisher. I don't think he's advertising it, but I am. If you read my 'Shade' fanfiction, the know that Stormcrow is the character that Shade was based on. He finally has his own...

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...

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...

I wanted to explore the topic of the purpose of the Constitution being not only to protect Joe 6 pack but also members of Congress, POTUS and the Supreme Court. This story has been nagging me for a while to put down on paper. Repost if you want to. - OGM __________ Chapter I She sat on the...

Years ago, I read a story about a man and his daughter that was on a trip. I think he was a traveling salesman. While on the trip, TSHTF. They made some homemade "powerbars" While staying in a motel??? It had a recipe of nuts, oatmeal, chocolate, lard, etc. They had to walk home. People were...

(How far away are our neighbors? How far away are we from them?) * * * Smith hobbled rather than walked from his car to the church doors. To walk as able-bodied others did had been taken from him years before by diabetes, gout, and sedentary habits he lacked the willpower to break. It was all...

(Does everyone remember, a few years back, the episode of the Afghan soldier who killed two American soldiers over the incineration of Qur'ans that had been used to pass messages among terrorist prisoners? We didn't have a President Sumner in office back then. Here's what he might have done.] ...

I was hoping for a sequel to LIGHT'S OUT by David Crawford. Anybody know of anything? WAB

This story is a follow up to the story A Concerned Citizen. Mrs. Bee is at it again. Any and all resemblance to actual people and events are coincidental and totally self serving. Once I heard a proverb that not making a decision was making a decision to not make a decision. - OGM Freedom -...

Because so many have asked about this. I said that I would post a notice when Book 2 of Parno was available. It is now available for pre-order on Amazon, with delivery set for April 22. If you've been waiting for more Parno and Company, I hope you enjoy it. Bad ...

Context to the story... For many people the S--- long ago Hit the Fan. The borders of North America are not now as they used to be. Land was seized. Red men and white forced off their land in favour of those with more political pull. The men, who ruled well in one decade, were given the...

Yesterday evening I encountered “da bomb”. A truly spoiled goose egg exploded in my hands as I removed it from the nest. It sprayed a liquid the color and consistency of mustard in every direction including mine. Running from the area of impact retching and gasping I quickly ascertained I could not...

Book three in the series is done and quite frankly, I worked my butt off on it. My intent is for an initial book bomb on Monday June 20th, 2016 to kick things off with a real strong opening, but that's not going to work without people grabbing it up. It is available for pre-order now. For the...

Does anyone know where Kathy has gone too??? Has she just decided to quit writing or health problems with her diabetes? Hope she returns soon. I miss her wit and great writing. Cheyenne

* * * Bruno was much smarter than his masters were aware. Though he had no doubt that they loved him, they treated him as just another dog, though larger and shaggier than most. They had little inkling of the intricate workings of deduction, inference, and consequence that filled his canine...

(Love takes many forms. It follows many avenues into our hearts. He who has learned something of those forms and avenues should not be surprised to find that the supposedly lesser creatures we choose for our companions know and experience love, as well. Bruno would tell you, but then, being a...

The day had worn him down. His prior case, the fifty-seventh since he’d reached his desk that morning, had just been dragged weeping from the office, but he could not rest. He was behind his quota. The ships were already behind their sailing schedules. He had to plow onward. He pressed the...

Yet Another Wake Up Call INTRODUCTION: First of all I do not post on this site very often, but I do visit often. Second, I do not claim to be a writer and I am sure some of you may find a few mistakes in this writing, and for that I do apologize. This is just a brief summery of the events...

==<O>== The autumn weather was atypically sunny and mild for Onteora County. Aware that his outdoor activities would be sharply curtailed by the coming of winter, it was natural for Phyllis Coren to leave Bruno outside for much of the day. Also, leaving the Newf outdoors left her more time and...

Kritter hasn't been here in about a year. Does anyone know what is going on with her?

Friends, This will probably be my next story but it insists on peeking out ahead of time. Keep in mind: Judas lives in a completely different world than Spoil & Co and the Martial Artists there are far less powerful. Angel Myth: Judas in Murim

I love good stories, and thought others might enjoy a link to some posted over on the LATOC forum, most with a peak oil scenario. You have to scroll down; look for titles with the word 'story' in them. Enjoy! http://www.peakoilstore.com/forum/index.php/board,4.20.html
