Detonator Time's Up (Book) - 11/13/2006 8:48:01 PM
Joseph Almena split a powerful crystal between Dr. Lawrence Withrow and Dr. Steven Talbot. While Withrow wants to preserve and protect the future, Talbot is bent on using the power to move from one dimension in time to another for his own personal agenda. Withow’s team: Marion Pallor, a detonator, which is to say that his body breaks down scattering his molecules into the air and filtering them into the tear that the detonator has caused. He is a man that is at the mercy of his link, a person who has a mystical connection with him. The link can send him anywhere in time. Lucky for him, his link is Withrow’s daughter, Carrigan, who wouldn’t knowingly send him into harms way. Most detonator’s aren’t so blessed. James Sampson, very British, is married to Carrigan. They are expecting their first child. Cam Wate was a USA marine, been married twice and is one of the guards. Jack LaRae, wife deceased, is a guard from the French Revolution. Gavin worked for the government and is the guard posted at King Henry’s II dimension Their job is to make sure nothing disrupts the way history should be played out. The tunnels of time that they use are random disruptions between realms and this crew is able to pass between the tears in the fabrics as they battle for order against Talbot’s team that is bent on chaos. If this isn’t enough for this ragtag team, Withow experiment to use a device other than the tunnels to pass between dimensions causes an explosion that sends Carrigan into a coma. In this state she is unknowingly detonating Marion all over the place. He ends up in a time, where he debates taking a chance to change fate. The team also must deal with a new detonator, Desi. They hope they can show her a way to survive for no telling where her link will send her. Because of unforeseen events, the tunnels between times are collapsing. The team must find the Armenan crystal that was given to Withrow before it is too late. Aseria, a witch may know where to find it, but she’s asking for a price that may be too high for the team to accept. This novel is fast-paced, non-stop action. You’ll be hooked from page one. I can see this as a series on the Sci-fi channel, viewing this team’s adventures week after week. Ms. Rose has written characters that are memorable from grumbling Gavin to Marion Pallor that has seen too much in his hectic detonating life. I haven’t read the first book, and I had no trouble following what was going on, but I can tell you, that this fan will definitely snatch up the first novel just to see how this all began. Well done! Highly recommended for Sci-fi fans! You won’t be disappointed.

Good story, Mary; brava! :)

The Eve of Some Thing or Other (Short Story) - 1/8/2008 8:35:40 AM
I loved this story. I would have tightened up the last two paragraphs,because the phone calls imply all the outcomes. Just make the calls and jump to the last line. What a quartet! Thanks for sharing this tale.

The Eve of Some Thing or Other (Short Story) - 12/30/2007 8:06:28 PM

The Eve of Some Thing or Other (Short Story) - 11/28/2007 12:25:21 PM
An excellent modern version of the Dicekens Carol. Your work held my attention right up until the very end. Of course I'm a real sucker for happy endings. A great write and a reminder that whatever we choose to do this Christmas let it be with gladness and joy, not self-pity. Keep on writing! Smiles, Dorothy

The Name on the Wall (Short Story) - 7/15/2007 1:32:56 PM
Enjoyed this much...I wasn't sure what the angle was or the plot at the beginning, but that's one thing that peeked my curiosity...the more I read, the more I wanted to know who is this person, what are they doing and why? I continued over to the sight and read captivated to the final word! Waiting now on the conclusion or continuing saga! Very well written my friend, you've penned an exciting chapter in what could be a great novel...keep em coming! Bravo! Blessings, Joyce B.

Excellent tale so far. It really trows you for a loop waiting for the lady to act, then finding out she was all part of the attack. Great story.

Amy (Short Story) - 1/7/2007 2:09:11 PM
This story leads one in a certain direction, only to be left with a surprise ending. Powerful, thought provoking work! The parental issue is seen through this young Mom a little too late. Intense writing! Dorothy

Tabloid Purposes (Article) - 1/13/2006 12:29:37 AM
Cool write up of this beast -- this one is best known now as TABLOID PURPOSES ONE, or affectionately called by its contributers TP. I look back at this being almost two years ago since I released this beast, there will be a TPIII planned and looking to see more stories that are horror but also have the Science Fiction framework.

A poetic cliff hanger that leaves one wondering... Loved It! John Michael domino

Wondering (Poetry) - 1/11/2009 6:59:53 PM
Wondering is good for us all and you express yourself very well here. What is to be done with rejection, just put it aside? I don't know but rejection isn't fun, and we all try to wonder what will come next in our life and what happens does make us as we are.

Be Still (Poetry) - 12/22/2008 11:00:32 PM

Before Death (Poetry) - 7/14/2008 11:06:14 AM
I knew my husband Tom's death was coming since Feb 07 and he died in Aug 07. Had COPD and nothing the doctors could do. He was schizophrenic and did not realize he was dying day by day with his cigarettes. It was hard to see him go downhill, but the day he died he said minutes before, It is just a touch of sinus. I knew otherwise with his breathing so shallow. I lost him but not in spirit that he left with me by the grace of God.

Did You Know (Poetry) - 7/14/2008 11:03:46 AM
Your soulmate indeed with this one came to you and is staying with you. Great love is not to be had, none other for you except him. Stay in love forever. Nice write, so expressive of love.

Outstanding write my friend...the locusts have finally sang their last song for this visit here in the southern hills of Kentucky...I didn't mind their noise as I knew it was only temporary...actually it's kind of sad for their visit/life is only but for a season...great write enjoyed! Blessings, Joyce B.

Maybe Later (Poetry) - 6/28/2008 8:47:00 AM
Living in the desert, you can hear nothing but locusts, they're such a pain, you've described them wonderfully. Mary

Maybe Later (Poetry) - 6/28/2008 7:02:02 AM
I know about those locusts, making lots of noise when the year for them is here. Leaving empty shells all around when they die. Good poetry about them.

Butterfly Wings (Poetry) - 2/26/2008 12:57:56 PM
Loved it. Saw a blue and black butterfly days after my husbands death and it flew away. Know it was from him and a sign he was o.k. Think butterflies are like angels and needed in life. Thanks for this poem. very inspiring to me.
