--This is a collection of short stories about and by the Captain of the Presley Jackson-- A NOTE TO READERS: To avoid 'confusion' to some - each story is separated into PARTS meaning that they shouldn't be treated individually but instead as one. So if you want to leave a comment then please consider both parts and the content within before doing so. Thank you very much for actually reading as I know you want a summary which is below :) "What do you suppose a 'home' is? A place which you live in? Four walls that protect you from all sorts of damage and destruction from the outside? A planet, maybe? Well my home was never anything like that. It wasn't something you simply went inside with a knock or two. It wasn't some place you could drive to in a car or fly to in a ship. I wasn't normal enough for something as mundane as that. My home is in probably the strangest of places. The galaxy. Billions upon billions of solar systems and phenomenon of epic proportions that one can look at by just looking up. That's where you'll find me. That's where I belong." --Expect intergalactic adventures, mystery and space in every part. Each being a full short story telling the life and times of the captain from her point of view-- ((Shoutouts are dumb and I don't usually do them but in this case AnimalLuver39 deserves one for the awesome cover. That is all.))

"His genius was very rich, and ran much upon poetry, in which he excelled. But alas! In the issue. Wine and Love were the ruin of this ingenious Gentleman." John Dunton (1659 - 1733) English bookseller and author, writing of Benjamin Bridgewater. INTRODUCTION This completed story will form one full episode of a larger, historical fact/fiction work. The story here relates to Benjamin, one of my many Bridgewater ancestors. These early forebears include: Benjamin: the current subject, a rogue black sheep of the family (for every family has at least one in their closet) who was a London Lawyer of the Middle Temple, a writer, poet and all round bad 'un. In later years, the sad life of this once promising Cambridge scholar spiralled in an ever downward direction to the dark abyss. Henry: an Elizabethan Gentleman, who named in his Will a titled Lady who was a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I (the Virgin Queen), and whom Her Majesty affectionately called 'My Black Crow'. Nathaniel: a Gentleman and servant to Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset (known as 'The Proud Duke'). One of Nathaniel's many rôles was as 'Waiter on the Robes' to Queen Anne. Thomas: a Master Joiner/Carver, an example of whose handsome ornamental work can be seen to this day on the wooden pulpit inside the famous London church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Benjamin: (father of Benjamin above), who was a Freeman Citizen of The Worshipful Company of Dyers and elected to the Court of Common Council. Roger: an 18th century actor who performed with the celebrated players of the day at the Covent Garden and Drury Lane Theatres in London. Extracts from the 1697 Calves-Head Club anthem and the poem on Mary II are the contemporary works of Benjamin Bridgewater. The Epistle to him is by his contemporary, John Tutchin. There is 'A readers' abridged FAMILY TREE of Benjamin Bridgewater', at the end of this work, which may help with your journey through his story.

It's the 24th Century, and the world is getting smaller. Alonso Creed is being trained to inherit a position in government which will set him up to be hated and live in isolation for the rest of his life. But he is considered by everyone else as one of the lucky ones. After discovering a secret that threatens the moral code and law he's known for sixteen years, Alonso must choose between his future, and a family who despise him. All the while, the rest of the country try to uncover why third born children keep disappearing, and what Alonso's father is hiding from everyone...even his own son. Everyone has secrets in an age where everything is monitored, some are just better at adapting to it. ~~Just to say - this is the shorter first draft and I won't be posting my revised edition until I'm 80 and finally give up on ever being published haha! This version is quite different to the one I'm currently working on so please excuse the terrible pacing etc though feel free to point anything out you don't like! :P ~~ Wonderful cover by EurekaEureka!!
