Steve Sherman, Time-Traveler!
Steve Sherman is a handsome, well-built young man, but he is emotionally troubled due to recent failures and shortcomings in his life. Experience his insirational journey of self-discovery as he is abducted and sent 2,000 years back in time to fight against Roman invaders. Following his abduction from contemporary society by the space alien Yerdan, Steve emerges on a desolate, wind-swept moor circa 61 A.D. He immediately meets the woman he believes is the greatest historical figure in history, Boadicea, Queen of the Ancient Britons. Though their relationship gets off on a rocky start - as the Queen initially believes he is a god - the two eventually form a growing interest in one another. When Boadicea discovers Steve is a mere mortal who possesses special powers, she finally accepts his offer of help, and Steve is permitted to fight alongside his historical icon against the hated Roman invaders. Steve befriends Verulanus, The Queen's second-in-command, and unkowingly sparks jealousy within the ferocious warrior Togatacus, a lesser Prince of the Iceni. As a romantic relationship develops between Boadicea and Steve, they continue to raze town and destroy Roman legions. Intrigue abounds as treachery and treason fester within their own ranks, and an inevitable showdown looms between Steve and Togatacus. Though a fictional retelling, the story plays out against a backdrop of interesting and educational historical facts. Intensity and drama ensue as the final battle approaches between the ancient Britons and Roman invaders. Read the action-packed conclusion to 'Steve Sherman, Time-Traveler!' and witness how Boadicea, who has lost everything, is able to rally her people and rise up against a tyrannical and omnipotent war machine. What a woman she must have been!


Sailors and Dogs Keep Off!
Sailors and Dogs Keep Off! chronicles the 'on the beach' adventures of two young destroyer sailors from California to the Far East. At sea, they perform their assigned duties and watches professionally and responsibly. When their ship pulls into a port, however, and the last line is doubled-up and liberty commences, it is strictly a case of 'Let the games begin!' Sexual and pugilistic escapades and other hijinks that they engage in are graphically related. This narrative is both titillating and humorous. It pulls no punches. It truly is a sailor's story!

The Gender Trap
I have always felt a woman was the most beautiful creation in the universe. I treat them with deference, awe and undying respect. I am rather chauvinistic however, and cannot imagine myself working for one. The idea of placing an individual (such as myself) in such a position titillated me, hence the story.
