There is little fanfare about one of the least known fields of study, that of the swamps of the world. They lack the glory of treasure, but they throw themselves into danger at almost every turn.

There was a Blackfoot so important that it boggles the mind to have him buried in obscurity, lost among the wild tales of success and triumph, regardless of how inaccurate. A non-violet leader, a damned good warrior, and not afraid to kill, if he had to. But he was one of the very few who saw the futility of war against the white man. They tried to kill him, to wipe his People from the face of the earth, but he stood resolute and prevailed. And so, the Blackfoot remain unto this day. Fun to research, fun to write, but the truth herein may be stretched, too. Fodder for #TheStoryteller, right?

A semi-fictional story of the horror and disbelief that filled the residents of sunny California back in the day. Cops and parents were on the lookout, many more heavily armed than the police, but the killers had to be stopped. The state with the second highest number of serial killers, so- called runaways, and trouble far beyond the norm. Someone had to do something and that was the boutique PI firm of two dedicated investigators. They were willing to dig and dig until they corralled the perps. Often, the cops wrote off the missing teenagers, girls as well as boys. But girls indicated ...

The secrets of Nicaragua were kept hidden for decades. The first ruin discovered brought puzzlement with no agreement. It would take a pair of serious, curious explorers to make sense of it. Then, they get wind of something even more intriguing, and it is a long hike into nowhere to find it. If they can find it. And all this time, Volcano Row, only partly extinct, requires the same over-the-shoulder watch as if looking for bandits or Indio. Life is cheap in the mid-twentieth century, true for most explorers of that era.

With the sudden, violent death of her father, she is thrust out into the world, perhaps too soon, or maybe, just at the right time.

Katherine Lincoln had it made. The perfect mentor, the handsome suitor, the money. Wow! But she was young and easily swayed. She was not sure what she wanted until, stripped of everything, she found it. In the early forties, Peru was a damned dangerous place. Now, she knows... A wild ride by #TheStoryteller, G.

Even the most determined space sailor will grow tired of the endless search for a habitable planet. And this one looks really good. Earth-like, but it is exactly mirrored.

Is this the world we are heading for on Earth? Could be. Now they ...
