True, a 'Shifter's work is never done...

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

It could be a game, but if it is, it is a deadly serious one. The players are not what we expect, but the damage they can do is very real. AI is not the threat. People are..

Even US Army Counterintelligence steps in, but will it be enough? You anger enough whacko ...

I was perfectly happy to exist as a Detective First, sweeping up the detritus and the flotsam of the underbelly of Denver. True, I drank too much, hated everybody, almost, but I was a damned good cop on the job. Then, I found a murder that did not exist. Then another. It took me to places I have never considered. It has taught me things I should have learned at my mother’s knee. It sent me on a trip so close to hell that I felt the heat. And I lived. I loved… and I sobered up.- Ally Whitedove

Bull Armstrong is probably the biggest, toughest Sheriff in all of Montana, and that is saying something. Everybody in Montana is tough, even the women... unless they choose not to be. Our Sheriff and his girlfriend are on duty in a podunk County Sheriff's Office, with the entire might of a rogue militia confronting them at every turn. Most would move to Florida, anywhere to get out from under the threat, but Bull and Minnie are made of sterner stuff. There is no dislodging them from the county or thwarting their determination. Thank God for them and their kind, or we could be overrun from ...

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 ...

A semi-fictional story of the horror and disbelief that filled the residents of sunny California back in the day. Cops and parents were on the lookout, many more heavily armed than the police, but the killers had to be stopped. The state with the second highest number of serial killers, so- called runaways, and trouble far beyond the norm. Someone had to do something and that was the boutique PI firm of two dedicated investigators. They were willing to dig and dig until they corralled the perps. Often, the cops wrote off the missing teenagers, girls as well as boys. But girls indicated ...

Skye Blue was a mistake, in her family's eyes, but they came to love and even respect her as a half-sister. But they did not understand what made her tick. She had secrets, big ones. And then, in a complete surprise, she found she was far more than she thought! Far more deadly, very adept and turning the minds of men to her thinking, and she did it without much effort. Sooner or later, she must discover how this could happen. And why her sisters were oddly not surprised. In fact, the concept of home, so alien for so long, became the goal. If she could find home, she might find peace. That ...

Derinkuyu is a location built over a mystery. Under that city are hundreds of underground chambers, big and small. It held the interest of archaeologists in its discovery in 1963 for a short time.

Dr. Laurin Thorner is willing to put her money where her mouth is in order to solve the mystery. She will manage to throw contemporary expert opinion right out of the window. If she survives it. Tag along. Lots of adventure and ...

He found good people from those he hardly understood, and, by God, he would answer that deliberate challenge. His way. Enjoy! #TheStoryteller
