Meringean Castoffs is live on Amazon and ready to read. I hope you like it.

What was that horrid screeching? Who was screaming at me?! And why was she in my hotel room? The girl in my bed was the maid who cleaned my room, but why was she in my bed? The woman screeching at me early in the morning was the innkeeper. All I knew was that neither of them was supposed to be in my room! I was the Envoy of the Royal House of Meringea, and this was not making me happy... except maybe the cute maid in my bed for an unknown reason.
That’s how this started...

Forgotten Wardrobe is live on Amazon and ready to read. I hope you like it.

I just drove up to her house and knocked. It was stupid. But she didn’t think so. She was ripe. I was in crisis. So I went to her. And when I did what came next, she knew it was time and that our lives had just changed forever. She opened the door and hugged me, and opened a door to a future I never expected. That’s how it started...

Inherited Traits is live on Amazon and ready to read. I hope you like it.

My young friend had a problem. I’d been mentoring him some since his father died a few months earlier. His problem wasn’t his father’s death. It wasn’t the fact that his father was very wealthy and, now, so was my young friend. He was prepared for that. We sat at the coffee shop, and he worked up the courage to tell me what he needed my help with. Finally, he took a deep breath, looked me in the eye, and leaned across the table toward me.
“Dude, it’s my dad’s widow. You gotta take her off my hands. You’re the only one I can trust and the only one who can help me.”

And then our story begins...

An Accidental Guardian of The Queen is live on Amazon and ready to read. I hope you like it.

I was kneeling on one knee, Terminator-style, like in that scene where he first arrives in 1984. Very much like that, actually. There were no flashes of lightning or anything like that. But there had been a lot of wind the moment before. Unlike a moment before, I wasn’t alone, and I wasn’t in my hotel room overlooking the ocean.

Scattered around me were the bodies of twenty men. At the front of the large stone room were four more men, very much alive, and a woman screaming.

Rushing at them, I reached them just as one of the men was about to strike the woman in the face. In that instant, all of the restraints of normal training sessions were lifted, and all the rules of the dojo left me. Normally, I would bow to a sparring opponent, and we would promise to try not to hurt each other. Normally, there weren’t four men about to hit a woman in the face.

And then our story begins...

Well, this was different. Janice seemed to think that I was her blind date. She had my dating profile from a matchmaking service I didn’t even know I was part of. I had never heard about this and she was sure I was the guy she was destined to meet. I did know the person who arranged this, and I trusted them completely, but this was a surprise. But not to Janice.

Yeah... the girl and I had a mutual acquaintance. We met each other at his office. He told us to use his private study upstairs to get to know each other and that he’d talk to us in an hour to see how things were going. Things started off better than I could have imagined. It made me want to explore this possibility and see if things developed the way she was sure they would.

Submitted for Your Approval is live on Amazon and ready to read. I hope you like it.

It was a pool party at the neighbors’ house. A little get-together with some of their friends. People I didn’t know. That was OK. Just six couples. I noticed that. Everyone but me was a couple. My hosts told me it was a requirement. The thing was, I was single. And sixty years old. But all the guys here looked to be about my age.

The hostess, Toni, gave me a funny look. “Jeff, given that this is couples only, and you have to have a wife to attend, meet Connie Claire.” Toni turned around and looked behind us into the house, and I turned to see what she gestured toward. “Jeff, meet your wife. This is Connie Claire. Connie Claire, this is Jeff Delaney, your new husband. If you want him.”

I looked at the girl across the room. She was beautiful. And smiling at me. But her smile was... intelligent. There was something behind her eyes that almost didn’t match her blonde hair and very attractive body. I didn’t think blondes were necessarily stereotyped in any particular way, but this girl was... surprising. I was instantly attracted to her. But she had to be a lot younger than me. I was sixty. This girl was in her thirties!

And then our story begins...

Dar The Ogress is live on Amazon and ready to read. I hope you like it.

At least I was out in the air again. The past few days had been underground in a prison cell. I had hardly eaten since my capture. If I won my fight, I would win my freedom. Those were the rules. I was naked and bare-handed. So was my opponent. That didn’t make it an especially fair fight. I was strong and just short of six feet tall. My opponent was at least six-nine, maybe seven feet. An Ogress. Her size and slightly mottled skin gave her away. She was naked and bare-handed, too.

And then our story begins...

The story is related to The Guardian Maidens or Sturgil’s Mark. It isn’t a sequel, and it’s not necessary to read those stories first. But there are references to characters from The Wooden Sword, The Edge of Harmony, and the others.

Eddie Topper and the Haunted Riverboat : Eddie Topper's Haunted Life Book #3 is live on Amazon and ready to read. I hope you like it.

The adventure continues. This time Eddie and the girls are headed for the Sacramento Delta. Eddie may have inherited an old riverboat. Surely, it's got to be haunted, right? They don’t know for sure. All they know is that they have to go.

The story starts on the road. I guess all of these books have started that way. Eddie and his electric micro-bus, and one or more of the unliving companions he has picked up along the way. Whatever this inheritance is, we assume that it must be haunted...
