Ethiopia is a mixed environment for exploration... and survival. It has had its grand moments, tied in with Jewish history, temples, world wide travel and such. But there are far too many pockets where none of that reached and had not for centuries. Verona Romero is an established archaeologist with a second doctorate in anthropology and Ethiopia calls to her to prove her worth beyond the constant search for treasure. No, the promise, this time, was fame, finding the very beginning of humanity on the dark continent, following in the footsteps of giants like world-renowned ...

Sky Light, pure Comanche, was too strong and too wild for the mission to hold her. In her ill-planned escape, she tangled with a man she would never have even thought about.

As mismatched as they could be, they were not welcome in any Comanche village, but soon, she found herself, found her calling, and vowed to be free. Told from her last years, her memoirs. This is what our elders are made of: memories. A fascinating tale of love...

Scientists and explorers have known of the Richat Structure, the Eye of the Sahara, for nearly a century. But those early explorers in the late nineteen thirties, had no idea of the shape, for from the ground, it is just too massive too understand. It was in 2005 that an astronaut on a spacewalk, the first to see the thing in such detail, brought real attention to it. It was not just a patch of rocks in the Sahara. It was a series of concentric circles some forty kilometers in diameter, or about twenty-five miles. The question became, "What is it?" or, "Is it dangerous to the locale, or to ...

In the sometimes violent southwest during the growth years of 1850 to 1900, there were many kinds of bandits, outlaws, Indian threats, and gunslingers out to prove a point. There were but three determined kinds of law. The local Sheriff, constrained by jurisdiction, Texas Rangers, spread too thin, and Marshals, for only those ‘important’ federal offenders. But there was another kind of law, the hunter. Paid well on success, bur often dying long before they had the chance to enjoy all that money. Bounties are like gold. The more you get, the more you want. Here is one, who becomes two, ...

The Druids ruled in government, religion, and other positions of power until the Romans showed up in what was called Briton. With cruel intent, the Romans spread vicious rumors about sacrifice and butchery until the Druids were a diminished clan in hiding. The Romans thought they ended that reign, pulled out in the fifth century, and maybe so, but they opened the door to evolution. There were, at that time, hardly noticed, hundreds of Sorcerers playing low key and pulling strings from the shadows. If the two should meet... Fodder for #The Storyteller, of course. Enjoy.

The mind can play funny tricks on us. Ask any psychologist. Is this the present? The dream or the reality? How do we know? Often, we who dream deep and hard cannot tell at the time… Others find that with training or instinct they can pull themselves out of a nightmare. Not so much with reality, right? Then, there is Austin ‘Whitey’ Whitmere. Mild mannered, strong, a solid man. Salt of the earth. Plagued by the same nightmare, over and over. He is a good man, but one with a violent… past? Future? It needs exploring, don’t you think?

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.

These players are not angels. No angels would go where they go, nor do what they do to survive. Often, these are the people on the front line of discovery, taking giant steps in vicious lands, where life is cheap, and the rewards, should they be found, can be extensive. Anthropologists shudder at the very idea of interfering with a native or indigenous people, but when the rewards are on the other side of those pesky savages, well, the opinions can change, all right. But survival can come at a price, and only the strong might make it. Life is what happens while you make your plans… Enjoy....
