She did not ask to be here. Her Uncle Beauford always talked of her being the first 'Lady US Marshal.' But, that was just talk. Still, she trained and practiced until she was deadly. The Indian half breed stray was proving quite competent, quite the determined Hunter. Then, circumstances forced her to put on that badge. She was, as Beauford had predicted, the first Lady US Marshal. And she was damned mad. Every outlaw from the bottom to top in that raiding gang that killed her Uncle and her sisters had to go. Especially the top. Outlaws, beware. You asked for it, now you gotta deal with it.

I am a hard-nosed, experienced Detective First. I have solved some of the most viscious murders you can imagine. But something changed. Suddenly the recently dead reached out to me, handing me what I needed to solve cases. However, that is not easy. How do I explain that I discovered the name of the killer from a ghost? As if a key had turned, I loosened up, found the lover I was missing, and then, even more surprising, she soon had the same skill. Not sure how that happened, but we welcomed it. The trick was somehow masking that ability while benefitting with it. We got very good at it, ...

It was just a rock. A pretty one, and it intrigued the Incas as a bauble, a trade item. It helped keep the Inca Empire afloat. The Spanish made the first recorded find back in 1600. It was still just a rock. And it subsided into the history ofthe western Amazon Basin for more than 300 years. However, it took a man of vision to see what really layinside that rock. Perhaps, therein, lies a story. Such legends, rumors, and sometimes successes, are the fodder for #TheStoryteller.

But now, the Copán River is erasing it! What pays for these field trips to such dangerous places is treasure. Lots of it. The noble mind will yearn for the answers, but gold calls to every heart. Anna Marie Requelle and James Kilroy find they are soon caught up in the temple searches, but they are well-trained archaeologists, too. No gold, no funding. It must balance.

She hadn’t meant to see it. She did not want to remember it, and by God, she would as soon forget it… if she could. But, no one was going to believe her, either way. And there are those, unfortunately, who are compelled to be certain… Fortunately, when all other avenues fail within our government, there are those who step up from the shadows to provide the necessary security. Both are shocked. Brenda because her life is turned upside down, on the run, but with a man who could well define the ideal... if he wasn't so damned elusive. Jack, because of all those he babysat over the years ...

A semi-fictional warning told in Police vignettes. In the wilderness, any hunter with any common sense knows the rule. If you do not represent a threat, the animals, even the predators, will leave you alone. If you must interface with them, you have to understand that they do not trust mankind and their hackles rise, forcing a violent confrontation. The hunter does not always win that fight. Now, replace the 'Hunter' with 'Police Officer' and the 'predators' are those people who do not have their civilized behavior as containment walls in place, so the animal is loose. But unfortunately, ...

Before the Roman Emperor turned his focus to the east, the Arabic lands were a place of life, death, magic, and constant struggle to make ends meet. Or, meet your end. There were those who could help, either way. Sorcerers understood life, dismissed death as an inconvenience in those they lost, but they developed, over time, an uncanny skill to survive. And, already, there was a Church Order, not of Christianity, Muslim or anything recognizable who were determined to destroy the ‘evil’ Sorcerers. Of course, it helped that the Sorcerers were men, the Church Order all women hoping, or ...

You have heard about the huge snake hunts in the swamps of Florida. As a contest, it has been successful... to a point… Hundreds of female snakes lay more than a hundred eggs a year. Hunters kill a thousand snakes each year. It is a no-win situation. And now, the Louisiana Bayous face a similar problem with the Rougarou, a kind of werewolf that works 24-7 and does not care about the moon. It can replicate itself with any clumsy hunter in moments. But then, for some, that is the adventure in itself, is it not? Enjoy, but hang on for a wild ride! #TheStoryteller

There will come a time when mankind must seek new homes as Earth is full up. There are two ways to do this: new planets, and huge space stations. Those stations are already on the drawing boards. We will find ways to expand a simple station to hold a half million people, someday, but that is a long way out. And we will need many of them. This is not a warning. It is merely a test that stood for a long time and would have remained forever, had they not met aliens. If they are out there, they are not part of the plan and things can go awry. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller

Detective Sergeant of Miami PD was thrust violently out of 1999. Held in a life sustaining coma, a subject of experiments and bold attempts for hundreds of years, her brain remained alive. Alive yes, but not aware through it all. Two centuries later, though the medical community was demanding she be unplugged, a very specialized Doctor of Cybernetics, a relatively new field in the late twenty second century, made a daring decision. Valerie Harper endured some terrifying times, some dreadful therapy, and eventually, she walked out of the Grogain Institute of Cybenetics, a new woman… inside...

CHAOS History: According to Zoroastrianism, the main religion in the Persian Empire, Ahriman or Angra Mainyu was the god of all that is bad and chaotic in the world. He is the evil twin brother of Spenta Mainyu or Ahura Mazda; the “Wise Lord.” Everything that the latter one did, Ahriman would do the opposite. This where it all started. We are nearing where it will finish. Sound familiar?

Nature can be unkind. The death of a den is a traumatic event to any wolf. No matter that the wolf is the apex predator, like any form of killer, there is sometimes something bigger, stronger, and just as deadly. So, the little pup is on his own. Maybe nature, maybe the Great Spirit, even God, might have taken notice. The little guy had gone through hell. He had not eaten in two days and his chance of survival ran right between slim and none. Red Bird Singing, Red to her white man’s family who raised her, has an affinity for animals, for healing and for a lot more she does not yet ...

In the land of the frozen north, Norway, there lived people of interesting skills. Survival was to the fittest, the most talented, and often most persistent.

A dragon is loose in Viking land, and the people are no match for it. It will take a very determined woman and her man to try to tame it, but as we know, you cannot trust a dragon. Enjoy! #TheStorytreller

He came home in one piece, a long damned war, in the blues, fighting the grays. It was over. But he had no idea what some would carry their fight well beyond the battlefield. Abe was a man who could take care of himself. Not necessarily those he loved. What he could do was pick up and try again, in spite of the odds. Now he was put to the test. Would it never end? He found good people from those he hardly understood, and, by God, he would answer that deliberate challenge. His way. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller

There are angels and demons. Anyone remotely familiar with the Bible knows that. We cannot just choose what we want to believe. Occasionally, they meet, right here on earth, and Hell breaks loose. But Michael, a gunslinger & a bounty hunters knows how to handle it. He even knows how to call in help. But if demons learn from their brethren’s past mistakes, this one is a master, and everyone has to sharpen up. First, save the ranch, save the woman, save the town, and if it confines the demon, maybe that is a win. Maybe. #TheStoryteller- Enjoy!

This is a tongue in cheek tale of a highly romantic but very illogical song written forty plus years ago, Seven Spanish Angels. Perhaps if we look over the players, one will go with God, and perhaps, one will not. But the song relays the wrong message. Tragic, but the west and Mexico were full of this dichotomy. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller
