One too many. And I couldn't remember last night, either. Both unlikely for a witch.
But my powers were still here. Well, sort of.
And that's all I remembered.
Not my name, not how I got dressed (or un-dressed) like this. Or where I was.
Helluva hangover, especially for a witch.
The problem was that I didn't remember anything before I woke up. Nothing. No childhood, no witch training, nothing.
Not
...The Boomerang Mystery
A strange 'whodunit' mystery for the Jay-Pea-Eyes to have as their first case! Three children go missing and police have organised a massive search of the town of Dudleigh and surrounding areas. A phone call from a security officer at Russington Hospital immediately has several Detectives heading for the Accident & Emergency Department.
All three missing children have somehow been
The old coven was destroyed and one witch remained to rule them all.
Her power was absolute, and it came from those she vanquished.
The last rite to perform was the Dance - where all these powers and their personalities were unified into a single force.
Without that core immersion, the powers and personalities would war with each other forever - inside her mind.
This had only been attempted once in all known
...When I woke up this morning, I felt like falling in love.
Something had happened in my dreams, while I was sleeping. I'd only gotten away from my spell-protected farm for a little bit.
Just going to find some wild fruit in season, and maybe to pick a bouquet of wild flowers to brighten up my farm house.
And then I found a tiny oasis of green ferns and blue flowers that was growing in the deep footprint of the
...Where I had come from, how I had got here, I didn't know.
All I knew were my powers, the one's I knew from my childhood. The one's I'd spent my youth learning and perfecting. Witchcraft that could kill someone, or save their life.
But now I was here in a strange world, different people, unusual customs...
I didn't even know if my spells would work here - or if they burned witches at the stake - or tortured non-witches.
And
...You'd think that after a couple of thousand years, I'd be able to find my angel wings when I wanted them.
Pretty hard to misplace, if you think about it at all.
But when I woke up to go to work this morning, they weren't there. Not in my closet, not hanging on the bedpost, and certainly not on my shoulders where they always had been.
Sure, I was always able to appear to humans without them. But just because
...(also titled: Smart Home Revenge)
The more circuits in any machine, the more it's likely to get "haunted."
When you connect it to the Internet then you can get more than you asked for.
Installing a home system seemed obvious at the time. Having the "Internet of Things" to give you your every whim seemed a dream come true.
When our broadband costs rocketed, we looked to see what usage was happening - too
...Facing a Fireball and living to tell about it wasn't in John's plans for the day.
But when he and his two female spirit guides were caught behind a red subcompact taking hit after hit of fireballs, some one had to do something. Because they could only keep taking those hits for so long.
Something in what he said made one of the girls step up and get the attention of whoever was throwing those fireballs at them. A distraction
...11) Harpy Redux
An old enemy found me, and left me powerless - when I was only trying to help her.
We'd met year ago, and she became trapped in the mystic world she'd created, on of evil and retribution for imagined offenses.
I had my own problems at the time, so became the target of her wrath.
When she disappeared, and became trapped for thousands of years, I had almost forgotten her.
Meanwhile, life had changed. Lessons
...12) Gaia
The Sum of the Whole is Greater Than Its Parts.
So Gaia was taught since she came into this existence.
But she was named after the Nature goddess. Long centuries and eons passed while she was submerged in rock beneath the thin surface layers that living creatures inhabited.
Now some imbalance had awakened her. She rose to the surface to claim her own, her rightful place in the whole world,
...To rescue a 12,000 year old ghost, you have to learn to breathe water.
Our next mystery to solve was the toughest yet. We thought ourselves prepared to deal with being submerged several hundred feet below the surface.
My question was how to communicate with something who was older than all civilization as we knew it. What did it have in common with our modern culture? How to talk through an energy shield built to withstand
...The body disappeared, the witnesses forgot their stories. And I had 24 hours to solve the mystery before all the evidence vanished.
I had no memory of how this all started. Only that I was brougth in to solve a mystery in 24 hours before I had to move to my next assignment. Because I'm a time-jumper. And I go where I'm sent.
Because I'm damned good at figuring things out. You don't have to have a string of degrees behind
..."John, I just met a ghost who's dying."
I raised one eyebrow, waiting for the punchline from my favorite time-bender.
"No, it's not what you think. I haven't gone off the deep end. The government made him into something they call a ghost."
"Figure if the government's involved, then it's going to be screwed up... But a ghost - dying?"
"Running out of juice, actually. Kept alive on some sort of weird life
...Harpy and I were born from the union between a goddess of nature and a god of humans.
While she was the black sheep of the family, I was the shining star who could do no wrong.
Opposite twins, our whole long lives.
Through history, you may have heard of us. Mostly written as hags, foul-smelling man-killers.
Of course, you can never believe the press. They only partially report the facts. The bits that suit
...Boy meets girl at a diner - and condemns thousands of ghosts to haunt forever.
Young John Earl Stark met Mary in a diner, an innocent girl who was just getting over a tragic outcome in her life. He helped her regain hope and gave her the tools to sort out her life.
A simple gesture. He also gave her his phone number.
But then hell broke loose.
John found himself in a time loop, so that he never made the
...19) Freed
Four women, with unique super-abilities - who each could save or destroy humankind.
Each came to this planet for their own reasons, deeply flawed. Victims of time and circumstance.
Any one of these, just by themselves, could end all life on this planet in a heartbeat.
Why would anyone want to assemble a team of feminine time bombs?
Maybe to get them to save their own lives...
(Contains the complete
...20) Ghost Hunters
It started with a dream.
In it, John Earl Stark solved the problem of a ghost he met. Or did he? It was a dream, after all.
The next day he meets two women who visit his cabin, arriving out of the blue, literally. (Well, one arrived with pitched black darkness which filled his cabin and made her cough.)
These two have an offer for Stark. All he really wanted was to enjoy the small
