O knihe

The Bainbridge Chronicles is a collection of seven short stories. They are written to take the reader from past to present and from faraway lands to this morning's newspaper. Set your eyes upon the printed page and journey into tales from the foreboding to the lighthearted. MIST OF MEMORY: A reckless commoner maneuvers his way to a position of authority in this tale from Medieval England. A story sure to have you keep a pen near you when you awaken from a sound sleep. OLD JETHRO: Three old friends make the discovery of a lifetime. But all is not what it seems to be. Secrets are kept for a reason. The three friends find that the bigger the secret, the larger the efforts to keep it. WAITING FOR THE PARTY: A foreboding narrative of power and manipulation, as an old man recounts his life. From the comfort of his study he details the many maladies of modern life and his part in the creation of them all. Ego and intellect has brought him to this moment as he waits for the party. WIZARD TECH: Not a "who done it" but a "how it's done" story. Take a lighthearted tale through history sure to provide more than a few ah-hah moments. STARS OF STONE: The end of the world can bring challenges even to those that have prepared. This is a sobering story for these modern times and perhaps other times as well. THE MOTIVATOR: The next time you sit through a company meeting, know that others have been there before. No matter the era we always have to roll up our sleeves and pull together. WAITING FOR THE PARTY-ALTERNATE ENDING: Even victory has its price. The scales of life must always be balanced. A man learns that deeds done in secret are not entirely unobserved. The Bainbridge Chronicles is a book of fiction. Any similarity of names and events portrayed in these stories to any person living or dead is entirely coincidental.
