First Command

By Dr Bob Rich - 3,000 Words

“The Vikings feared no one, except for the people they called “Trolls.” Only four feet tall, the Little People were the best warriors in the world. Women and men, old and young, all could fight to defend the weak, and to protect the Mother’s creations. When Norsemen decided to settle in Gaul, the locals called on their little allies. One of them was only 20 years old, yet found himself with his first command.”

Wisteria Bozomheave Receives A Shock In Paris

By K.G. McAbee & P.M. McAbee - 2,382 Words

“‘My darling Mademoiselle Bozomheave, say you will share your life with me.’

Count Etienne Gerard Marie-Benedictine Drambuie was on his knees, one arm passionately outflung, the other pressed over the elegant embroidered waistcoat that covered his heart. At least, he thought that his heart lay in that general area, though his advanced avoirdupois prevented him from being quite certain. He was well aware, however, of what a charming sight he must be, and twisted slightly to make sure Wisteria got the full effect.

Wisteria yawned. When would supper be ready?”

“Among the misty lochs and glens of ancient Scotland, duty wages war against love on the battlefield of opposing cultures, religions, and political agendas.

After Caledonia’s devastating loss in the battle of Aber-Glein against Arthur map Uther, Pendragon of Brydein, Chieftainess Gyanhumara (“Gyan”) nic Hymar is obligated by treaty to marry a Brytoni nobleman. She chooses as her betrothed Urien map Dumarec, son of her clan’s worst enemy, in hopes of bringing lasting peace to her people. Arthur must honor this arrangement, even though he knows that Urien, his arch-rival, will gain greater power from it.

When Arthur and Gyan meet, the love that develops between them escalates to legendary proportions. But with her clan’s future in her hands, Gyan would forsake her heart’s bidding and go through with her obviously ill-fated marriage to Urien. For unless she and Arthur can avert the civil war that is sure to erupt, their love will be doomed to remain unfulfilled—forever.”
