Purchase the beautiful paperback

The Baker Street Adventures is loaded with great Sherlock Holmes adventures, plus a really lengthy bonus feature in the back.

More King Arthur story added tonight.

One incarnation of my book cover for the King Arthur series. I'll post other ones as time goes by. I like all of them, but sometimes one version just clicks more emotionally for me and I choose that one.

Besides, how do you capture the essence of someone whose legendary reign might have been forged with a sword, but whose true power was the depths of his compassion.

Best to all.

More added to the King Arthur story under new stories.

"The King of Threads," Young King Arthur story continues with new post.

Part Two: The Lady of My Heart

"It is often spoken that the center of the universe is our earth, but the true center of our universe is our own heart. For without a heart the rest of the world is dark and dreary, lonely and miserable. So how powerful must be the one whose heart blazes not only for their own self, but for all other souls as well?" -- Merlin

A swirl of color and shapes moved in and out of a fine mist that clung to the green dales of Vandermere-Sooth on its seaward side. Arthur sat on a lonely rock, overlooking the lake that ran sheer to the sea, where it spilled off high rocks to the beach below and the volcanic rock that spewed forth steam there.

Arthur sang a short song to himself about his mother:

“On high, high hills over the downward lee,

She came forth in light and glee.

Her eyes would dance

And her smile would fly

And so I remember her

To this day in my eye.

Me mother of birth,

My friend of stars

She gave me song

And lullabies

Thus do I long

Both near and far

For the sight of my mother

Her face of stars.”

“That’s very nice.” A feminine voice spoke quietly.

Arthur, startled, from his reverie turned and fell off his rock, tumbling down several feet before catching himself.

A gentle laughter stopped as he caught himself at the feet of a young girl, with long pointed ears and a face as fair as the light of the moon.

“You’re of the Fay!” Arthur almost gasped.

“Ah, I can see you’re a bright one, as well as quite co-ordinated.” The young girl said in a taunting way, a smile on her lips.

Arthur jumped to his feet and bowed to her, then dropped to his knees and bowed.

She caught him before he could repeat it. “Come on now, I am only a young lass with pointed ears. No more. No less.” She pointed out, touching her lovely ears gently for him to see.

Arthur blushed so red he could feel steam coming off his face. The girl only laughed again, but this time with more of pity in her tone, than amusement.

“I’m sorry. It’s just that…” He stammered.

“You’ve never seen a young lass whose beauty rivaled the stars that your mother inhabits?” She asked with a tease.

Arthur liked her despite her tone, and took off his cloak and spread it on the stone he had sat on. “Please, I’m not being a gentleman. Sit. Please.”

She sat on his cloak, and then eyed him a moment. “Don’t just stand there. Sit beside me, I won’t bite.”

Arthur paused a moment, and then started to sit.

She made a snarling sound, showed her teeth, and snapped at him.

Arthur jumped back and almost fell again. He caught himself and then broke into laughter. He pulled out a half loaf of rough bread and broke it into two pieces. “I’d be honored if you would break bread with me, sweet lady.”

She took the bread and then a bite. Her face lit up like the sun a moment. “Ooh, this is just splendid. However did you make it? I’ve tasted nothing like it before.”

Arthur sat at her feet and took a bite from his. “I made it myself. Took all night, but got it done.”

She took another bite, her eyes rolling in delight. “Then surely you have put something very precious in this flour.”

“Nah. Just a lot of kneading.” Arthur answered.
