Those powers that be, some from a very long time ago, are noted for their patience. Every so often, the right combination of evil and good are in the neighborhood at the same time. Now must the Sleeping Giant wake up and point the good players against an evil so pervasive that it has survived on this planet for ten thousand years. It is too big for a few young men and women to master, but they can make one hell of a dent in it. And draw the adversary's ire. It gets tricky. Hope or pray for a happy ending... or at least a soft landing. Enjoy. #TheStoryteller

Bad things happen in Britannia, someday to be England, if it survives. The evil is too long in place, too serious, and the simple law of the land, and the outrage of the Romans are not enough to solve the problem. It takes a special Hunter, someone so close to the line that he can reach out and touch evil… and walk away. Leofwine Dark Hunter is that kind of man. He soon has help he does not yet understand, but he is willing to step up. In fact, has stepped up, but he is a mere pinpoint in the bucket of evil. In this early era of old Britannia, not even love will break the odd bonds in his...

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.

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

. No one wanted to be the last man… or woman… standing. The human’s domination was over. In the late twenty second century, Cyborgs had come to life, literally. From simple robots, run by programmed computers, filled with Artificial Intelligence features, scientists tried to outdo one another in the race to build a sentient robot. Now, they had succeeded far beyond their own limited imaginations. Cyborgs. The things looked human, they spoke like humans, they acted like humans, dressed like humans, and sure enough, they soon began to control every facet of human living… and began ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

You are going to need them. Let’s go find out. #TheSotryteller. Enjoy.

It’s tough being a daring explorer, tougher being a determined archaeologist, but tougher still when you keep ducking bandits' unrelenting fury!

When gold is in the mix, the trust is out of the window... or tunnel... whatever... Determination ‘should’ overcome obstacles, right?Another thrilling ride from #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. It took years, for the Amazon is a crucible of life. She came into her own, took no bull from anyone, and learned to be the woman she should have been all along, the Baroness of Brazil. Herald of the Lost Rubber Soldiers… A fast paced ride brought to you by #...

The childless couple, with big hearts and open arms, felt a kinship to the Cherokee children in the nearby mission. As time and space on their small ranch allowed, they adopted many. But then, it got crowded. The Longarms moved to an abandoned monster of a ranch, and kept adding. But that ranch held several threats. The Grays, who the Cherokee called gray men, were insistent in taking the land over or killing the family off. Even well after the war. The Bluecoats oddly enough, were doing the same. Bandits were the wildcards. However, Robert Longman raised his 'children' Cherokee white and ...

Help comes in many ways, and she leads a full, if convoluted life, all on her path to Closure. Enjoy!

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. Weldon Tucker

This valley has known only war. What with the Crow, the Shoshoni, and the damned outlaws, it seems a poor choice to call home.
