  • Time Management for Mercenaries
    Time Management for Mercenaries ~ Author: Dai Alanye Designer: A F Donley © Copyright 2012 by Dai Alanye Aardbassett Books ~ Time Management for Mercenaries is an original work of fiction, book I of a series. Except for historical events, persons or places, all other characters, locations, things and incidents are creations of the writer's imagination. Resemblances to actual happenings or individuals other than the historical, or to contemporary persons living or dead is strictly coincidental. The book is offered free for your enjoyment and to promote interest in my other works. Feel free to share You'll See! with other readers, but don't alter anything. After all, why meddle with perfection? ~ Chapter 00 ~ Valkyries Pierce lay on his side dreaming of peace, his view of the slaughter-field blocked by ranks of spearmen. He'd run the gamut of emotions today — fear, irrational calm, anger, exhilaration, apprehension, and fear again as battle waxed and waned. Near an hour had passed since the last attack. The sun lowered, half hidden in banks of mist. A light breeze blew from the south, wafting serried clouds high overhead. Buttermilk sky. How queer the name in this bloody place. Better imagine those sun-glinting drifts Valkyries come to carry the slain to a Saxon Valhalla, there to feast and fight and be made whole again until Gotterdammerung. The swan-maidens would have heavy work this gore-soaked day. In him they awaited a reluctant fighter a millennium out of time. What sense to travel so many years and miles to seek an early death? He felt a brief unreasoning anger at the man who'd brought him here.

  • Book 1: the Letter
    ABSTRACT THE GHOST OF CARVER RANCH by Roy Clayton Davis Winnie may not believe in ghosts, but she does believe in her ghost-hunting club’s special kind of magic— its ability to help her forget the move, her mom’s divorce, and the way California kids look at her when she talks. But even this refuge is fleeting; the principal has come to shut down Club S.P.E.C.T.E.R., leaving time for just one last adventure. Now, trapped in 1891 and on the lookout for a ghost, a witch, and a murderer, Winnie and the rest of Club S.P.E.C.T.E.R. must embrace the very quirks and talents that made them pariahs back home. The Ghost of Carver Ranch, complete at 60,000 words, is a realistic mystery/ghost book for tween readers. It has a team of quirky characters involved in a dark mystery. Much of the story is set against a detailed, historical backdrop. THE GHOST OF CARVER RANCH A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of English By Roy Clayton Davis Miami University Oxford, Ohio 2006 Advisor __________________ Eric Goodman Reader __________________ Brian Roley Reader __________________ Mary Fuller BOOK I: THE LETTER 1. The Case of the Haunted Locker Locker 53 didn’t look haunted. It sat in the top row, painted an ugly dark green like all the other Richland Junior High School lockers. Winnie wasn’t sure what she expected—maybe spooky noises coming from inside, or cobwebs covering the front.
