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.

Maybe, but at what cost? A kind love story with the adventure needed to bring it all together. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller

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

Elysium I, one of four lookalike planets, orbiting a close blue dwarf, soon held a million people. And, of course, when that many people crowd a small planet, you can expect all the negatives to surface... If they are not careful, Elysium I might not be a haven, after all. An unlikely pairing has our heroes working feverishly to solve the problems. ...

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.

Run quickly... or die. Choose wisely." A good ride featuring the four H's...

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…

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.
