So, some years back, I wrote a brief story that was to be the introduction to a book that I lost interest in writing, but this little story inspired a whole collection of stories that have been now simply called, "The God Stories." So, here are a few of my favorites. There is a possibility that by early 2011 there will be a complete anthology of the God Stories, but for now, enjoy these few snippets!

Easy to find what’s wrong. Harder to find what’s right. Vee is a Hunter of the highest order. She is dedicated to her cause and performs her duties to the best of her ability. Risking life and limb if need be to succeed. Hers is a life of honor and duty, but she doesn’t live in her world, she merely exists. Long ago she had closed her heart to the world, because joy was fleeting and not worth feeling the pain and sorrow left by the loss of her sister. She would rather feel nothing than have to relive that agony. From the moment she watched her beloved sister stolen from her by one of those demons Vee knew the purpose of every breath she took. Destroy the vampires. She would not rest until the world was rid of them and the grief they left in their wake, until she knew no other family would be torn apart as hers was to sate their aberrant needs. But when the true identity of the Master Vampire is revealed, the man every Hunter and Slayer in their clan have spent their lives hunting, Vee must make a choice. Let her instincts guide her and fulfill her duty. Or risk the pain and follow her heart. The first in my Music is My Muse series, this and all other M.I.M.M. Novels follow the same inspiration if not the same story line, music.

Gracie May Howards is a brat. She's mean, and she not very smart at all. But she has that personality that's strong that you can't say no to. She is rather naive when it comes to guys. She really doesn't know anything about love, about accomplishments, and feeling good about what you do, until she meets her arrogant, rude, straight forward, mean Tutor.

Falling in love is hard to do when no one will even look at you, and those that do hurry to look away. Andrea is a seventeen year old girl who has always wished for a sense of belonging, but being only half native to her tribe sets her apart from everyone else. And the other townspeople of Wapatau seem to avoid her just as easily. But life is always easier with a good friend. Her best (and only) friend Kaida has always been her moral support, and Kaida’s older brother Konai has always been there to tear her back down. With only days left in school, and the Spring Equinox festival just around the corner, Andrea looks at her life like a glass half empty. Until a random series of events, and a dark and stormy night, change her life forever.

When. Will. My. Life. Get. Better ...
