Book Description
In ages past, the Templar Knights were the only true force for good, battling evil in the hope that man would move into a time of enlightenment. Frustrated that they were making the same mistakes generation after generation, a plan was devised. Tapping into a base magic that was used during the time of creation; the Templars extended the life of one of their order to become their teacher and guide, their Forever Man. This knight’s name was Lecturo. Always well protected, evil could not touch him and the power of Light started to make great advancements over evil. If the darkness could not kill him, they did the next best thing. During the Christmas Festival, they placed a powerful drug in his wine. When a toast was called for to honor the birth of Christ, Lecturo’s mind was wiped of memories. What good was a teacher that could not even remember his own name? Generations past before Lecturo finally started to regain some of his memories and remember who and what he was. Once again the Templar Teacher, Lecturo formed a new team of good hearts and pure souls to again battle evil wherever it tried to change the course of man away from the path of the Light.

I would like to thank you for being interested in reading my First Volume of Short Stories. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing them. All the stories are fictional and come from my imagination and daily experiences. The characters are fictional also. I try to show in my stories how I feel it is wrong to treat people badly just because they are different from you. I feel the world would be a better place is we could all learn how to get along. I hope my stories will help people to understand that just because you are different doesn't make you a bad person. They may be feeling the same way towards you as you do to them. Take time to get to know people and you will have a happier life. To understand and learn is the beginning to a life of love and happiness.

Book Description
“A remarkable work, and a real pleasure to read. The scope of the book is wonderfully ambitious, and the pacing is also outstanding as the novel successfully zeroes in on decisive events and leaps years with crisp expository narrative. Corwin’s voice is naturally decisive and authoritative, contributing to the overall persuasiveness. Overall, it is truly impressive work, and it its important work as well. This is a novel with real impact.” Fred Leebron, author of Six Figures and Welcome to Christiania. “Tallapoosa yields up a gratifying mix of history, drama, and good old-fashioned character-based story telling. The novel’s people manage against all odds to remain good and humane in the battle against wicked institutions and in the face of apparently insurmountable odds. A moving narrative about the struggle to do good in a fallen world. Pinkney Benedict, author of Miricle Boy and Other Stories. With searing honesty and through unforgettable characters, in Tallapoosa, Corwin lays bare the struggle for the Southern soul in its darkest—and most hopeful—hours.

Book Description
Lange has recently returned from a tour of duty with an oil exploration and pipeline company in the Near East. He had been incarcerated in an Arab jail for a number of months under almost inhumane conditions. Wrongly. While in the Arabian jail, to preserve his sanity, Lange had developed the ability to induce OOBE's. He didn't understand what was happening to him, he thought they were merely hallucinations. The setting is the Gulf Coast of Mississippi in the late 1980's when the U.S. oil giants had pulled out of the Arabian Gulf area. He was now back in the States looking for a job. Rhyme, a lovely young woman, is the ward and 'strong right arm' of George Westwood, an entrepreneur involved with the development of a fabulous new technology that turns out to be a system of communication with other time frames. Rhyme hires Lange and is attracted to him in spite of the differences in their ages. She is a student of the occult and lays the Tarot cards about Lange. They promise her 'Happiness and Joy'. Rhyme seduces Lange and decides he is her soul mate. She learns that Lange can achieve these conditions. They work on it together, very successfully. On their next attempt they visit an 'Orientation Platform' in the Astral World where they meet with Rhyme's grandmother, Cynthia, who, before her death, had been a major factor in Rhyme's early life. Rhyme's mother had died at childbirth. Lange moves in with Rhyme. There are a number of excursions into the Astral realms. On two they are given rides in a UFO. The first of these is an excursion into the adjoining territories of 'Athe'. On another occasion they take a friend along and they are given a tour of the two lover levels. The 'Orientation' is on the 'third level'. We have here a pretty good guide to achieving the same results (OOBE's) by your own efforts, if you care to try these tenets and the story does not deviate for their principles.

Book Description
Wondrous, horrifying, achingly human: The best short stories by “one of the greatest writers of science fiction and fantasy who ever lived” (Stephen King). One of science fiction’s most beloved trailblazers, Hugo and Nebula–Award winning author Theodore Sturgeon wrote novels and short fiction that inspired and amazed readers and critics alike. In Selected Stories, thirteen of Sturgeon’s very best tales have been gathered into one collection: Here are stories of love and darkness, transcendence and obsession, alien contact and human interaction. In the devastating wake of a nuclear holocaust, an actress performs her swan song before a small audience of survivors. A machine is possessed and intent upon destruction. Humankind’s place in the vast cosmos is explored, as is the strange humanity of evil. In the author’s acclaimed story “The Man Who Lost the Sea,” a life is reconstructed in bizarre shattered fragments. And in “Slow Sculpture,” Sturgeon’s award-winning classic, a breast cancer patient surrenders to a healer’s most unorthodox methods. Lyrical, often witty, frequently provocative, and always surprising, Selected Stories covers a wide range of human and inhuman emotion and experience, deftly traversing the borders between science fiction, dark fantasy, and horror. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Theodore Sturgeon including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the University of Kansas’s Kenneth Spencer Research Library and the author’s estate, among other sources.
