Revenge is a dish best served cold. Okay, that sounds right. But if you pursue revenge, first dig two graves. First attributed to Confucius, but later determined to be from the Makado Clan in Japan around 1876. But people are people. Sometimes one has to live through Hell, grow a spine and promise to get even. Only when that promise is fulfilled, can one enter Heaven, here or up there. Let's play it out. Enjoy. #TheStoryteller

The Mayans lived there for more that 2,000 years. Discovered in the sixteenth century by Spaniards, within a very short time span, they were gone. Moved? Disease? There are people who want to know. 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. However, the place is ...

I've been repeatedly asked how it came about. High Country Terror- Chicago Fury had a startten years back, a start that made Marcy Frame famous enough, but drove her toDenver. The vignettes are a little too true, for I, or my friends and partners, lived these stories. This book is dedicated to those who made it, those who did not, and thosethat have moved on. Not all of us are still here. I hope that those who are canremember the events in a cop's life... Others can learn from them... From #TheStoryteller, G. Weldon Tucker

I am a hard-nosed, experienced Detective First. I have solved some of the most vicious 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, and...

During the era of the Cold War, young men and women, some of them our best talent, educated, determined and fearless, were sent to live among the eastern bloc. That included Russia, East Berlin, North Korea and others. In Russia, especially Moscow, the KGB was the most feared agency in the world. Thorough, ruthless, and unstoppable. The secret agents (aka spies) were warned in advance, and given the chance to step away. Not everyone is cut out to live a double life. "If it becomes untenable, you have only two choices. Run quickly... or die. Choose wisely." A good ride featuring the four H's...

It was that kind of era. Royalty did not mean much if one was at the bottom rung. Except, maybe as a prize to purchase. But then came the sea voyage, the destruction and the brand new life for a repressed, pampered young royal. And she came alive, finding ways to survive, finding a love she would never have expected, and a family made up of wonderful people. Would she ever get off of Snaggletooth Island? Maybe, but at what cost? A kind love story with the adventure needed to bring it all together. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller

Everyone dreams of sailing the galaxies and beyond, seeking that home for humans, for when Earth runs out of time. There are people working on it in this era, and this story is merely a few hundred lightyears out. Murphy's Law precedes that of the technical Engineers, everywhere. A paraphrase is, "Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong." The more you are surrounded by technology, the more headaches you will find. But several trillion miles from home, the choices to survive them are limited. The Intrepid finds a potential harbor, a port to put into, just as most of the systems aboard seem...

Scarlett's mother raised a good girl, telling her things she needed to know to survive this world. The most important was simply, “Never let them kiss you. Never let them love you. It will end in disaster.” Carrying that target imagined on every female freshman’s butt, she managed to waltz through the first year at the University of Georgia in Atlanta unscathed, then the second, and for some reason, people believed she might be an Ice Queen. Delightful to look at, impossible to hold. They had no idea how right they were…

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, ...

In it is Mayan artifact, a half of a medallion, and she realizes, somehow, supernaturally, it is calling her to him. As soon as she receives her Ph.D. ...

He seemed a drifter. A no-account man in black in the severe environment of the desert. But that was the way he liked it. He was, after all, a hunter of men, and very, very good at it. But he had thought long ago to have left his heart on the battlefields of the Civil War. He was stunned to find helpless, religious folks under the threat of evil, and then, even more surprised, when one of them helped him discover his heart. He got it back. Now, he was in a different war for a hell of a lot better reasons… Enjoy- GWT #TheStoryteller

Victoria had not planned for this. A nice, comfortable home in the city, plenty of money, a husband who either loved her or loved to show her off. Now, on his 1941 mission to one of the most dangerous places in the world, he had a companion. A reluctant one, and in fact, dubbed an Angel out of Place by the locals. All but one.

Herald of the Lost Rubber Soldiers… A fast paced ride brought to you by #...

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 ...

They came from extremely opposite poles. She, the revered Mother of an Eastern Orthodox Church, in a bad place among the squabbles that were tearing Yugoslavia apart. He, from eight hundred years as a practiced Master Sorcerer. His skills saved her and yes, in time, her skills saved him. They learned to team up to rescue the hapless refugees in her land, the Serbs. She learned to be a strong, right-hand woman to help her Sorcerer partner deal with her to finish her work. God works in mysterious ways. #TheStoryteller Enjoy!!

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.

It started innocently enough. A beau calling his girl to Denver. A working girl finding a new life. A gambler scooting out from angry drunks who lost. A rancher heading home after a successful sale of a prize bull. Yes, innocent enough. But as the days rolled by, slowly, there seemed to be an awful lot of attention from bandits on this one Wells Fargo Stagecoach. Even the Apache are harassing them half the time. It is like they cannot trust anybody! Along the way, skills no woman should bring to the trail arise. They will be needed, and soon. It does not become clear until the twelfth day, ...

Johanna Wistfeld felt out of place most of her life. Moved to the new country, then farther west, she lost so much of her family that she was all but alone. However, the Shoshone owned the very land her brother claimed.

Once it was out, spread among the so-called savages, she knew her calling. She could not save everybody, but she could surely try. Tilting at windmills is a common theme, though the book...

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. He was a proud man, a strong man, and he looked the part, as Apache as they come. But he stepped up and helped. With his training and his love, he won her heart. 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...
