to Sort These Scalawag Tales into Categories
Please Select a Heading Below
Published
|
|
These be the rapscallions finished and now lurking in the markets.
Watch out! They come disguised in ebook or paperback formats.
WIPs
|
|
These rascals be still gamboling in the author's mind.
Take care of yourself! They can drive you mad with impatience.
Full List
|
|
O brave explorer, ye seek to take on the whole lot of varmints?
Fare thee well! I have no advice for a valiant adventurer such as ye.
Out of Print
|
|
These poor blokes have been pulled off the shelves to prepare for the new.
Tread with caution! The new are shown with the old herein - do not mix the two!
Fairy Tale Inspired
|
|
As a lover of fairy tales, I must warn the explorer:
These stories resemble the original tales like Hollywood biographies resemble the reality.
Coming of Age
|
|
When whippersnappers grow, many a lesson is learned.
This happens not at the same age for all, for people grow at different rates - like trees.
To Die For
|
|
These stories yield a lesson that's killer.
But don't worry, I never write tragedies.
Swashbucklers
|
|
These heroes fight to win, no matter what it takes - or how long.
When enemies call, these answer with swords in hand! (Or other weapons at hand.)
Epic
|
|
'Nuff said? Many titles under one heading.
Beware, or these tales may have you wishing their worlds were real.
Nonfiction
|
|
Rare, but potent. These stories pack a wallop.
They may be small, but their size does not reflect the immensity of the lessons they hold.
Mild
|
|
Suitable for tykes and tots - if they can read.
No more intense than a Disney movie. Take that as you may. :-)
Medium
|
|
Suitable for older kids and maybe a tyke - if they are accustomed to stronger themes.
Adventurers beware! You may find yourself liking them more than you expected.
Hard
|
|
Hard to read at times. A good ending, of course, but difficult parts and mature themes.
My books will NEVER have explicit scenes nor obscenities.
Severe
|
|
Could include scenes of torture and loss of hope.
Characters are pushed to the end of their limits - and find God there.
Unsorted
|
|
These little doggies are unlicensed. Someday they'll find a home.
Includes nonfiction stories and certain untitled stories.
Romance/Action-Adventure
|
|
They all fit under this category, but some do not have fantasy - those are included here.
Trailblazers beware, the lack of supernatural does not mean a lack of derring-do!
Fantasy
|
|
This is for the explorers who never tire of discovering new lands, new ideas, new dangers.
Pathfinders beware, imaginations may be stoked! Once kindled, they are hard to quench.
SciFi
|
|
For those who like tech, herein are the tales that are impossible without it.
Wayfarers beware, for the tech may make you want to start inventing!
Nonfiction
|
|
Personal stories herein told as if we're sitting down for a chat.
God inspired these, so be prepared for power (not mine).
2019
|
|
A couple of nonfictions.
2022
|
|
Another nonfiction that is very personal,
a life testimony and collection of poems.
Plainly Stated Explanation of Categories
Status - Books are grouped by stages of production.
- Published - These books, in one form or another, are available for purchase.
- WIP - These books have been started but are not finished quite yet.
- Full List - Includes Published, WIP, and books that are still merely outlines or thoughts.
- Out of Print - Some of my books were published too early. A good learning process, but now they have been or are being updated, often with new titles and fresh covers.
Theme - Books are grouped according to plot type.
- Fairy Tale Inspired - These books are not necessarily retellings of fairy tales, but aspects of them might remind readers of certain familiar stories.
- Coming of Age - These books are all about the development of the main characters and their growth from childishness to maturity.
- To Die For - Very special books. These unique stories are retellings of the ultimate plan of redemption.
- Swashbucklers - Adventure stories. These books are less about one individual's growth and more about the challenge(s) the main characters must overcome.
- Epic - These books are fun. In this category, there are many stories within a single series.
- Nonfiction - I love writing fiction because I learn best through fiction; however, sometimes I just need to process what I'm learning in plain speech.
Intensity - These books are grouped by their emotional impact, how difficult they are to read... in other words, how likely they are to make a reader cry.
- Mild - Lighthearted fun. May still contain violence. In these books, the characters will face challenges and will overcome them with a cheerful heart, good courage, and bonhomie.
- Medium - These books may introduce more mature themes, including doubt. The main characters might wonder at times if they will succeed in their mission(s).
- Hard - These books include difficult topics intended for mature readers. For a detailed list of potentially sensitive topics, see each book's individual webpage.
- Severe - Very difficult to read at certain points, very likely to make soft-hearted readers cry. Whereas "Hard" will tell of difficult events, "Severe" will show them.
- No explicit scenes or obscenities are in ANY level of my books.
Genre - These books are grouped by what section you might find them in the library.
- Romance/Action-Adventure - All my fiction books basically fall into this category, but these have all-natural settings. No starships or magical powers allowed.
- Fantasy - These books are my favorite. As for what is possible, the sky's the limit... or is it? These might include extraordinary powers, unreal creatures, impossible landscapes, etc.
- SciFi - I am no technological genius, so most of my books do not include tech. However, these do... to a degree that is far beyond our society's current capabilities.
- Nonfiction - 'Nuff said. See explanation above under "Theme."
Date - These books are grouped by the year they were published.
- Year - Pretty self-explanatory.
- If you are looking for one of my books and cannot find it here, you might check the Out of Print section under "Status."
