Geologist Stories

"We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight. Somehow suddenly, all at once, even before a word has been spoken." -Fyodor Dostayevsky [Xena Salazar x Liam Payne; ijhtct side-story]

This is all for fun only and nothing is real in this story

"What are you doing here?" he asked. "I'm studying your rocks," she replied, taking a sip of beer to moisten her dry mouth, another symptom of the state of her nerves. His smile disappeared, and his eyes widened. He glanced about and then he leaned towards her and whispered conspiratorially, "You know, I think that's the most forward thing a woman's ever said to me!" "But I like it!" he declared, sitting back with a huge Cheshire cat-like grin overspreading his face. She took one look at him and burst out laughing. She hadn't fully swallowed the sip of beer she'd taken and some of it sprayed out. "No, no," she choked out between fits of giggling, "I mean ... real rocks ... as in geology!" "Oh!" He joined in laughing, looking somewhat sheepish. This is the story of a young woman who travels to a remote area to do fieldwork for her Ph.D. in geology and all that she experiences there: rocks, nature ... and a man. WARNING: this novel contains some real geology ... among other things ;-)!

OUTWORLD: Dark Planet takes place in a universe populated by animals. On a remote asteroid, Jackal geologist Doreen Mundie encounters a mysterious force...

This is a collection of short stories about some of the lessons that life has taught me. Written and compiled by Dan Turner. Like my life, it is a work in progress.

A short interpretive text of a planetary geologist

Finding a mate is the farthest thing from alien warrior Jared Bennett's mind. After years of exile on Earth, the king is close to developing a weapon that will alter the fabric of time and hopefully bring peace to his own people. But a chance encounter with scientist Kelsey Wells ignites a scorching desire far more consuming than talks of rebellion. To Kelsey, Jared's heritage is exotic and alarming - nothing like the logical, scientific facts of her own world. But despite her fears, she can't deny the heated response of her body every time the magnetic leader comes near. As the bond between them grows, Jared struggles with a shocking family secret that keeps him from claiming Kelsey as his own. And a visitor from the future escalates Jared's battle for his people's freedom to a fever pitch, forcing the lovers to face one inescapable fact: Time can save them, as much as it can destroy them… AUTHOR'S NOTE: These are the first four chapters of my book, PARALLEL ATTRACTION, which you can purchase by clicking on the "external link" button to the right of this listing.
