“Well, Jenny. It’s a big night tonight. The band are here so you had better start getting yourself ready.”

A Short Story
By Maryanne Peters

In Japan, warriors who serve a master cannot be bought and sold, but if in the service of their master they are directed to serve another, then their oath requires that they do so.

Your life, and your body, mean nothing. Duty means everything.

Having survived the encounter with the Gun Queen of Ar Telica, Ronin returns to Ar Telica and begins his/her new dual life as Isabel val Sanreal, illegitimate daughter of the uber rich Sanreal Family, and as the Gun Princess, Mirai, an artificially created entity with preternatural abilities.

The custom-designed stunt suit had protected Teela when she took a grenade to her chest.

Dear Readers,

If you’re reading A Wildcat Summer, you know we’ve reached the halfway point in the story. I need to pause and say thanks to the wonderful people who work behind the scenes to keep everything going here at BigCloset.

Without their support there never would have been The Wildcats. After seven years of posting here, I just hope you remember them as you empty your pockets into the change jar every night.

I gave Erin & BigCloset the rights & the proceeds from the book Taylor a while back. Buy that book for them!

Anna Smith and her twin brother John had just turned 13 when both her parents went to the Amazon on a research mission for 6 months. Their parents were lead researchers. They worked long hours before the mission, so the children were accustomed to being alone much of the time when they were not at their school. The youngsters knew how to have groceries delivered, had debit cards and could transfer funds around various accounts.
