Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Danny Doormat by Rowan McAllister Danny Doormat by Rowan McAllister. ASA WAS warm… too warm. He was sticky with sweat, and, worse than that, his cheek was damp with what was most likely his own drool. A burst of moist, dog breath-scented air made him grimace and open his eyes. Minion’s gaping pink maw filled his vision, which didn’t seem quite right. Did the dog somehow grow a foot? Plus, whatever Asa was lying on was harder than a pillow and moving. Frowning, he lifted his head and glanced up to find Danny out cold with his mouth hanging open. Asa had somehow fallen asleep draped across Danny’s chest, and he’d left an incriminating wet spot of drool on Danny’s shirt. He didn’t have time to try to sort through the implications of that realization before a knife of pain lanced through his skull and he moaned. He put a hand to his forehead and pushed himself upright as gingerly as he could manage. His stomach roiled and the knife in his brain changed into a bass drum, keeping time with his heartbeat. He moaned again and reached for the bottle of water some angel had left on the coffee table. Something had died in his mouth, and if he didn’t get rid of the taste soon, whatever was in his stomach threatened to make a reappearance. The thought of having to rush to the bathroom in his current state did not appeal, and he swallowed thickly. He took a few deep breaths and drank half the bottle of water before he could manage the childproof cap on the Tylenol the aforementioned angel —probably Danny—had also left on the table. Once he’d downed a couple of pills, he followed Minion’s persistent summons and shuffled over to the sliding glass doors to let him out. A cool, damp breeze wafted over him from outside, and he sighed in relief as he leaned on the doorjamb and squinted against the morning sunlight. After a few more deep breaths, he was feeling slightly more human, even if the throbbing in his head hadn’t subsided yet. He glanced over his shoulder at Danny’s sleeping form and tried to make sense of the jumble in his head. His current hangover and the open bottle of tequila on the coffee table helped fill in some of the blanks. “Shit,” he muttered. He’d had a bad night. It hadn’t started off too bad. He’d put on some music, pulled up some pictures, and decided to toast Sean’s memory with his favorite tequila. That had been the plan anyway. But obviously, things had gone south from there… probably around the third or fourth “toast” to Sean. With dawning embarrassment, he remembered drunk-dialing Danny at work, even if he didn’t recall exactly what he’d said. After a bit of a search, he found his phone on the floor by the sectional. He glanced at the history and was relieved that he hadn’t drunk-dialed anyone else. He lowered himself back onto the cushions, grabbed the bottle of water again, and downed the rest of it. He’d barely set it back on the coffee table when Danny groaned and rolled onto his side. Danny Doormat by Rowan McAllister. free ebooks download.

The story opens at Chandler High School. The year is 1943 and World War II is raging. Danny Walters is a good looking kid, with bright blue eyes and blond hair. He's tall and slim but his baby face belies his age. His rosy cheeks rarely need to be shaved. Danny hates his look and he hates the fact that while most of his classmates come from affluent families, his is a working class family living in a working class neighborhood that is part of the Chandler school district. Most of Danny's classmates wear expensive clothes and have plenty of spending money. Danny resents their opulence and their lack of compassion for him and his situation. To compensate, Danny makes up ridiculous stories. He is all bluster and bravado trying to gain acceptance from his peers. As a result, Danny has few friends. His classmates won't include him in their fraternities or social events. Most of the girls refuse to date him. Danny is only 18 years old but using a fake a ID, he goes to a club where he meets an older married woman whose husband is in the Army. The woman seduces Danny and over a period of time, teaches him the subtleties of satisfying women. Their secret affair, which the woman demands never must be revealed, goes on until he leaves for the service. Danny remains true to his promise. That act of fidelity was the most decent thing Danny ever did during his entire life. Danny graduates in January, 1944 and joins the Navy. After the war, he borrows money from his dad and takes flying lessons and in due course gains a pilot's license. Later, he gets a job as a steward for a major airline while continuing lessons to gain a multi-engine license hoping to become an airline pilot.

After returning from a trip and still wearing his uniform, he stops at a high end bar in San Francisco. There he meets a beautiful girl who is taken in by the uniform. Danny is on his best behavior and after learning that the girls' parents are fabulously rich, he sets his cap to marry her. The girl becomes pregnant; her father insists they marry which is the outcome Danny hoped for. As a wedding present, his new father-in-law gives him a twin engine Beechcraft airplane. Using his airplane, he pursues some risky and illegal activities that will make him rich. He gets involved in the drug trade. That leads to his connecting with a major New York crime family and he's hooked. They own him. During the Vietnam War while looking for a way to distance himself from the Mafia, Danny is hired by Air America, the CIA's secret air force. While flying for the CIA, Danny is offered an opportunity for huge profits buying and selling drugs by a group of corrupt Vietnamese army officers and government officials.

In 1977 a fifty year old Danny sees an opportunity to retire. His New York crime boss, Charley Longo has been killed by members of the family who believe he and Danny pulled a scam by holding back money from a very large drug deal.

The Collected Short Fiction by Harl Vincent. Harl Vincent, whose real name was Harold Vincent Schoepflin, was born in Buffalo, New York in 1893. Vincent worked as a mechanical engineer for Westinghouse. Later he was employed as a sales engineer, becoming the manager of a local steam division. Vincent’s writing career began after he began reading Hugo Gernsback’s pioneering science fiction magazine Amazing Stories. Vincent’s first published story, “The Golden Girl of Munan”, appeared in the June 1928 issue of the magazine. During the next fourteen years, Vincent published more than seventy science fiction stories. Although most of his work appeared in the early science fiction magazines, he published twice in the general fiction pulp magazine Argosy. Although he ceased publishing during the early 1940s, Vincent remained involved with science fiction. He resumed writing late in life, publishing the novel The Doomsday Planet in 1966 and the story “Invader” in the September 1967 issue of If. Rowan McAllister. Rowan McAllister is an unapologetically romantic jack of all trades and a sucker for good food, good cocktails, rich fibers, a great beat, and anything else that indulges the senses. In addition to a continuing love affair with words, she likes to play with textiles, metal, wood, stone, and whatever other interesting scraps of life she can get her hands on. She lives in the woods, on the very edge of suburbia—where civilization drops off and nature takes over—sharing her home with her patient, loving, and grounded husband, three furry rescues, and a whole lot of books, booze, and fabric. Her chosen family is a madcap collection of people as diverse as her interests, all of whom act as her muses in so many ways, and she would be lost without them. Whether her stories have a historical, fantasy, or contemporary setting, they always feature characters who still believe in true love, happy endings, and the oft-underappreciated value of sarcasm. The Seer. Chronicles of the Riftlands: Book Three. For the past ten years, smuggling magic users safely out of Brotherhood-controlled Rassa has been the only thing keeping Dakso Kavalyan going. But with his funding cut and rumors of impending civil war, his orders from the Mage’s High Council are clear: his final mission is information gathering only. No rescuing even one more hunted soul. Daks has never been great at following orders. When he stumbles upon a Seer spouting prophecy in front of one of the hated brothers, he can’t just walk away. Ravi never asked to be rescued, nor did he ask for the Visions plaguing his life and endangering everyone he’s ever cared about. The last thing he needs is a reckless brute crashing into his carefully laid plans. Seems the gods have other ideas. As Daks and Ravi flee the city together, their reluctant alliance blooms into something more, but trials, bad luck, and Daks’s infuriating penchant for finding trouble dog their every move. Will trusting this reckless rogue with his heart and his life be the worst decision Ravi’s ever made… or the best?
