Gunter Wolfgang Miller June 16th, 1987 is what is written on my birth certificate, but I�ve been called Cub since I can remember. A few ladies have also called me Cubbie. Evidently I was named after my grandfather, who was killed fighting for Germany in 1944 during the Battle of Aachen. When the Great War ended, my parents relocated to Fredericksburg, Texas and after they were killed in a terrible car accident, I was moved by the state of Texas into a foster home, near a small city called Wallisville on the Texas Gulf Coast. Well, actually it was closer to Anahuac. Seeing I was still a little boy I don�t remember much of them or anything before that. The folks who raised me were not the most affectionate couple and I was given chores and duties beginning at the age of five. Butch and Marjorie Thibodeaux had lost both of their small children to a flu epidemic that swept through in the mid-80�s and qualified to bring me into their seemingly loving home. They expressed love by furnishing room and board and little more, as Marjorie, I later learned, was damaged goods and incapable of deep affection. I was not the replacement child her husband envisioned. Everything went well in my life and I started school and got to mingle with other kids and I was accepted as one of them. My German accent disappeared altogether. My adopted parents kept me very busy tending our garden, small amount of livestock, and his trotlines, which was deemed to keep me out of trouble. Dad bought me a .22 caliber Marlin rifle for Christmas in the year 1997 and a shotgun on my eleventh birthday. I took naturally to the guns and was very efficient; rarely missing whatever came into my sights. This is book five in a series where justice is meted out in a sanctioned vigilante style. The anti-hero is allowed to plot and plan to accomplish the goals set forth by his employer, the Harris County, Texas District Attorney's Office. |

Michael Strong Champion was born in July of 1983 to two loving parents who planned to raise him to be a doctor or lawyer. He had the best of everything they could give on their meager earnings. Dad was a diabetic who was often very ill and mom did every sort of household task around town to keep food on the table. At age five his dad succumbed to his illness and mom, having no other option, reluctantly rented her body out to make ends meet. This is how I grew up in Long Beach, California and I thought it was normal for a kid�s mom to entertain men late at night. At six years of age I would act out Mario brothers with the other kids in between the twin apartments until about ten pm and then mom would call out to me in for the night I remember her loving touch and how she would tell me I would be something one day. I loved my mom and cried fountains of tears after she got the sickness and died on my eighth birthday. Having no real family around us, the State of California became my parents and my first week in the dorm; I was raped by a fourteen year old boy that took whatever he wanted. I hated him and this activity was repeated many times before he was transferred to a facility in Oregon when I was nine. I made a lot of friends and a few enemies and after that pervert left, I told myself I would rather die than be subjected to treatment like that again. Three weeks before my tenth birthday, I stabbed one of the keepers at the orphanage with a Phillips screwdriver when he tried to violate me. He died in the parking lot and I slept in a state of terror, knowing they would come and get me when they found out I did it... but they never came! This is book six in a series where justice is meted out in a
sanctioned vigilante style. The anti-hero is allowed to plot and
plan to accomplish the goals set forth by his employer, the Harris
County, Texas District Attorney's Office. |

Abraham Monroe Lincoln is the name on my birth
certificate, but that's not the truth or is it the date of my birth.
No one really knows who my parents were, where or exactly when I was
born, and frankly, it doesn't mean jack shit to me. Everyone calls
me Linc or Link, or hell, they can call me shit head for all that
really matters, as long as they don't say it with attitude. |

Persevel Jacek Davies is what is written on my birth certificate and that's why people simply call me Jake. I was born in England and my parents we so traditional, that I was given my great, great grandfathers name on both sides. It also makes me the whitest black person in Houston, Texas because I speak with a British accent and have nothing in common with the majority of American black fellows. Back when I was what? Seven? We left Long Eaton and moved all across the globe doing mission work. My parents who were Baptist missionaries had made triple sure that I maintained a very high level of education; so much so that I passed my high school equivalency test at sixteen and enrolled in Texas A&M on a foreign exchange scholarship. I guess you can say this is where I learned that females have a lot more to offer than eye candy. As a extremely well-groomed and polite light-skinned black man, I did not understand the cultural taboos of dating white women and had little in common with women of my own race, even though I casually dated a few. It is a lesser known fact that people accept you regardless of your color if you act and behave like they do and it amazes me that people do not make this connection. My four years at Texas A&M blew by due to their ROTC program and in the summers, I trained in four foreign countries with their military for extra skills and credit. Upon graduation, which my parents proudly attended, I took the oath of a 1st Lieutenant in the United States Army and immediately was sent to jump school at Fort Benning, Georgia. This is book seven in a series where justice is meted out in a sanctioned vigilante style. The anti-hero is allowed to plot and plan to accomplish the goals set forth by his employer, the Harris County, Texas District Attorney's Office. |

This is the continuing story of a military man with extensive
experience who can no longer serve his country due to PTSD, but
finds employment as a Finisher for the Harris County District
Attorney's office where he has a license to kill. Follow him in his
very violent quest to rid the city of Houston, Texas of human
traffickers, drug lords, and cartels and the beautiful women he
meets. My mom once told me that she thought I would grow up and
become a serial killer. I think I was seventeen when she said that
and I had settled down quite a bit by that time. When I was quite
young, I hated to hear her say the words Kevin Jonathan Harris,
because it meant I was in trouble. The rest of the time, everyone
called me KJ and this nickname has stuck with me all my thirty-fours
years of my existence. |

This is the continuing story of a man with extensive
police experience who is hand selected to join the FBI as a Special
Agent and becomes a Finisher for the Harris County District
Attorney's office where he has a license to kill. Follow him in his
very violent quest to rid the city of Houston, Texas of human
traffickers, drug lords, and cartels and the beautiful women he
meets. From as far back as I can remember, I hated the name Sammy, or Sam, or anything other than my given name of Samuel. My mom named me after a profit in the Bible and he wasn't called little Sammy that I know of. I don't think people picked on him either like they did me. Maybe it's because I was shorter than most everyone my age? I don't know. My mom began calling me Spike when I was maybe five, because she liked to listen to the old radio comedy featuring Spike Jones and seeing our last name was Jones, it just kind of stuck, if you follow me. I didn't much care for my middle name either. Everett. Samuel Everett Jones. Sounds like a lay preacher's name and I sure as heck ain't no saint. Sure, I went to church and catechism, like all the other Lutheran kids, but I never really plugged into it, or so I thought. Years later I would come to realize most of my true values were because of my church teachings, seeing the church became my guardian after my parents and three older sisters died in what I later learned was caused by a drunk driver, who just so happened to be a county judge. I was nearly eighteen when a long time friend of my parents told me the whole thing was covered up and the judge is still actively pursuing justice at the Harris County court house in Houston, Texas. Judge Roy Buckhannon is his name and I vowed right then to kill the man who stole my family from me. Judge Roy as he's fondly known is familiar with me, believe it or not because I was arrested when I was fifteen as an accessory in a grand theft auto case. I spent three years in juvenile correction and that is where I learned everything I know about guns, knife fighting, hand to hand combat, picking locks, how to get away with rape, breaking and entering and not leave a trace, ATM machines - well, you name it and I learned it. |

This is the continuing story of a policeman with extensive
experience who becomes an FBI Special Agent and becomes a Finisher
for the Harris County District Attorney's office where he has a
license to kill. Follow him in his very violent quest to rid the
city of Houston, Texas of human traffickers, drug lords, and cartels
and the beautiful women he meets. Growing up, I was
the kid no one noticed. In group photos or school activities, I was
the child on the end behind and out of the way. I made straight B's
mainly because I was never challenged. In organized sports, my dad
pushed me, but I just didn't seem to have the drive to excel. I was
simply average in every way including looks. |

I've heard all my life that big things come in small packages and that is probably because I was almost a midget until the 10th grade. Over the next two years I went from 5-4 to what I like to think is 5-10, but is probably a bit shy of it. Hell, with cowboy boots on, I'm okay and taller than most of the girls and women I've been with. Anyway, they didn't complain and I more than make up for it below the belt, or so I've been told. I do not remember my parents. Grams has had me since I was 8 years old and in deference to my mom and her daughter, she has always taught me I was her grandson, not her real mom. To me, she's my mother. Her husband, who would be my grandfather died when I was 4 and I barely recall him. Grams never remarried and has devoted her whole life to raising me and working at the VA as a nurse. I took to boxing like some people take to fishing and soon Pedro began giving me private lessons. One of his stipulations is every one of his students had to make straight A's in school and between his classes and school, I hardly had time for the ladies. I began competing and winning and by the time I graduated, I was state ranked number two in my weight class. The number one guy was from Brownsville and I simply could not out-box this quick guy and we became friends. Years later I heard he was killed by an IED in Afghanistan. Hell, the same thing almost happened to me over a dozen times while serving in the Marine Corps. How this came about was I received a full scholarship to Texas A&M to train in Judo. I earned a 2nd degree black belt after 4 hard years of training, which was almost a record advancement, but due to my superior athletic ability and great health, I managed to get nationally ranked and ultimately recruited by the Marines after a national crisis in the Middle East. |

Anthony Roberto Fabrizio Scaramucci is how my birth certificate reads, but everyone calls me Scar, including my now deceased father, who gave me the wicked-looking line on my jaw. It's the reason I grew a short beard after getting discharged from the Corps. I have been self-conscious about the ugly knife mark on my face since I was 10 years old and hated my dad because of it. Mom died when I was 2 and he drank himself into the grave a couple of years after I moved in with Uncle Jerry and Aunt Pat up in Dallas. Dad never got over mom I was told and over the years leading up to moving he became abusive. Aunt Pat was his sister, but being a kid I never realized that. Both her and Uncle Jerry never had kids, being slaves to their well-paying jobs. The downside of this was I had no home life or attachment and honest to god, felt no mean affection for either of them. I knew they cared about me and that is just the way it was. I was independent and made my own decisions. I started Shotokan karate within a month of moving in and I wore a bandage on my face to hide the scar for the first 6 months until my instructor finally talked me into removing it. I took to karate the way some people get religion, or fishing. The school had 4 instructors and my first puppy love was for Mrs. Hansen, a 3rd degree black belt. At 13 years of age, I had no idea what sex was. All I know is I loved her and she had kids my own age. I advanced rapidly and one stipulation of training there is we had to maintain high grades and our instructors demanded we show our report cards each quarter. Mrs. Hansen always hugged me when I showed straight A's and mashed her full breasts against my chest and to be honest, this was the main reason I tried so hard to get those grades. I earned my first black belt in a little over 2 years and Mrs. Hansen tied it on me in the ceremony and when she leaned forward to finish the tie, I saw straight down her Gi and got my first real look at those beautiful globes. I had turned 15 the week before and I must have masturbated four times later that night thinking about her. |

I came to Edwards Air Force base after I left Joint Base San Antonio's Wilford Hall and the Colonel took me as his aide. I was promoted to Captain while I was a POW in Pakistan and the shrinks at Wilford deemed me damaged goods. Hell, I was only a prisoner for 3 weeks before I escaped. My peculiar look is the product of a Korean mother and a black American soldier who had a Japanese father. The result is I am a light skinned Asian looking man with a very muscular build. My hair has a slight kink, but I keep it very short and most people think I am from Tibet or Mongolian stock. Women tend to agree I am mysteriously handsome. My name is Sun Tae Sato, but everyone including my parents call me Butch. I'm 34 and have a degree in criminal justice from the University of Houston in Texas. After graduating, the patriotic reaction was to join the Marines, but a friend of my father pulled some strings and I went Air Force and straight into the office of Special Investigation. Four years into my six year initial commitment, I was jumped and abducted from a whore house in India and smuggled into Pakistan where they beat the shit out of on a daily basis and water-boarded me until I told them anything they wanted to hear including stuff I made up. The Finisher Series is book fifteen, titled Esther and features reoccurring characters along with a bevy of bag guys and gals and adult situations. Butch lives in the violent underbelly of society and will take you along with him, if you dare to follow. |

Ever since I can remember, folks called me Dickey.
Word is it was after the famous guitar player Dickey Betts. Never
mind that my name is Harold James Parker and I look nothing like the
man. It all started when I was 8 and got a kids plastic guitar.
Supposedly I was spotted trying to trade licks with the axe man on
You Tube. Someone said I was a natural, just like Dickey and that
stuck on me whether I liked it or not. |
|
The casual word around town is I am wasting my
education, especially after I got out of the Army. The Army. I can
say for a fact the Army shaped me, both for good and for bad, but I
imagine everyone can make that same claim. |

As far back as I can remember folks commented that I would go far and He�s destined to make a difference and similar promising comments. Adults centered on my future and how intelligent I appeared to be. It began the first day I came off the ranch and met the other kids in kindergarten and because I actually listened to my teachers and didn't �act out�, this perception pretty much continued through high school. They called me �bright� and �smart� and figured me to be a prodigy because I acted five years older than kids my age. When asked to complete a task, I simply did it and was polite on top of everything else and I learned early adults liked that. I knew what it meant to be called the teacher�s pet and later on I learned how to defend myself. As a mature adult, I never hit five feet ten inches in height and my best attempt at bulking up for any kind of school sports still left me sadly lacking at 140 pounds soaking wet. The girls liked me because I was no threat, but that didn�t stop the jocks from slamming me into the lockers because their girlfriends showed me attention, or maybe it was because I didn't try to stop them and was no threat.

A preposterous, but true tale -
according to many eye witnesses - of a string of murders and
assaults in 1965 Cobb County, Georgia involving a strange hairy
man-like animal. Told in the words of those who witnessed it. Every word of this tale is true. It was told to me in sacred confidence, as the good people of Cobb County have locked-up the truth and until now, their dark and heinous secret has been hidden. For the record, they want their story told and I let them tell it in their own words. I am a reporter for the Marietta Journal and I�ve taken the liberty to bring this bizarre and horror-filled incredible tale to life, based on the interviews of twenty-seven residents who still reside peacefully in Cobb County, Georgia. Here it is as best as I can relate it. As preposterous as it seems, every word is true - although their actual names have been changed to protect their identities.

This is a story of terrific violence and
memory loss where the current world is hurtled into the Stone Age.
Stuck in a time warp, Unknown Man seeks to find his identity while
experiencing the violence of a world that should have ended
thousands of years ago. The antihero learns to not only survive, but
overcomes in this world of extremes as he leads a clan of cavewomen. A man wakes up in a field on his knees vomiting out his guts. He looks around and for as far as he can see there is nothing he remembers. The smell of fresh cut grass is the first thing that enters his senses as he sits up and looks around. The sun is just creeping over the horizon and immediately the cicadas start singing. The noise scares the man and he drops into the wet grass more out of reflex, than intention. He feels sticky and hot and the other pungent smell is unfamiliar to him. It is sweet and heavy and not altogether unpleasant. A feeling of nausea permeates his guts and he rolls to his stomach and vomits up a creamy white liquid. Its smell is over-powering and he vomits again and again until his stomach has no other offering to give to the soil. He stares at it as if in a dream and it bubbles and sizzles, like the hydrochloric acid is eating the dirt. His throat burns like he sipped molten magma and he dry heaves until his eyes water. He is finally able to catch his breath and he sits up and looking around, feels despondent. Beside him on the ground is an old shovel with a rusty metal blade on it, but that is about all he can make of it. Standing shakily to his feet, he looks around again. He lifts his nose and smells and his eyes go wide when the cool smell of water passes over his hair-covered face and enters his wide nostrils. |

My name is Dirk Van der Bos, and friends simplify it by calling me Dirk. I am an ex-US Army Ranger with ten years in before my knee gave out a final time and I left the service of my country. I'm in my late 20's and in the prime of life. My wife is an absolute knockout of a woman with the mind of an angel and a body made for sin. We've only been married 6 months and her religious background means she is quite inhibited, but loves me and wants to please me. Her name is Amanda and she aspires to be a dentist, but my construction business is making so much money that she reluctantly finishes the semester to take it over. My real desire is to own a security company and I now have a few real pros working for me and more jobs than we can handle. As Tom Petty said, the future was wide open. Day 1 I sat up in bed and my wife rolled over and sat up beside me. "What was that?" she exclaimed. "We must have blown a transformer or something. Powers out. I swear, this is happening too often." I yawn and she lays back down and snuggles up against me. I have no idea what time it is because the room is fairly dark and the digital clock's face is darkened. I am in the act of laying back down when there is a horrifying sound of electricity and both of us jump up and out of the bed. "Honey?" my beautiful bride says and I open the door into the living room and through the windows in front, there is an eerie glow outside. I grab my shorts and T and half hopping get them on. She follows me to the front door, staying so close her toes keep bumping into my heels. She has hold of my t-shirt as I open the door and the bitter smell of ozone is very strong. It is very dark outside and the only light appears to be coming from the many flare stacks a few miles away, in the Exxon-Mobil complex. It has the sky lit up in orange and red.All down the street my neighbors are in their front yard in various states of undress. As far as I can see there is no power and I find that odd, since the front of the subdivision always stays lit. It's on a different power grid, as it was built about 10 years before our own house. "Dirk, honey, I'm scared." |
