This is truncated from a letter I wrote early on in my international adventures. About an opportunity I had to try to twist the system for a good cause by lying and how I wrestled through that decision at the time. --- The letter I had been waiting for, to explain why I needed an … Continue reading Integrity Challenge part 1

Argentum’s Source
So that was Argentum's Source 🙂 The first installment of Argentum's Song. I really hoped you enjoyed it. The next section, Argentum's Price, still needs one more pass through before I'd be happy showing it to the world. Where Source takes place mostly in the wilds, Price takes place mostly in Pheonton working through the politics of the gearpunk guilds … Continue reading Argentum’s Source

30b (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Franklin drew his short sword and advanced on Herman. “Leave the mare alone. We're not leavin' the sledge.” Herman unsheathed his own scimitar. “I don't think you understand who's in charge here Fred. Believe me when I say you don't want to challenge a Ranger to a duel.” “Funny, we dern't see any Rangers here. … Continue reading 30b (Argentum’s Song – PG)
52. Lullabies
"Russell you are a gift of God, Russell you're a miracle. Russell you are our son and we love you, Russell you're a gift of God." As I hold our son in our arms, I string together this prayer / expression of mystery and find myself singing these lines over and over again. I love … Continue reading 52. Lullabies
30a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Chapter Thirty Claude listened carefully to the latest refrain and turned to Sven. “That one was different.” Sven nodded. “The first two were 'Distress - overwhelming numbers'. The last one was garbled, I've no idea what it was saying.” “The Marshal?” “Maybe, or one of the other Warriors he was inviting to the council? It … Continue reading 30a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Alan’s Hand part 2
I ended up allowing the pressure of coming exams to push my confusing thoughts to the side and just focused on getting through the final few days. After my final exam I drove home and never actually saw any of those five guys again until the next September. Once at my parents, with no pressing … Continue reading Alan’s Hand part 2
29b (Argentum’s Song – PG)
“I didn't say I wouldn't come, I just ... I just wanted a plan first.” But even as she mumbled it, she knew she was making justifications. This would not look good to Bildad if he was alive when this was all over. Really though, what were the odds she would be alive when this … Continue reading 29b (Argentum’s Song – PG)
51. It happened!
It happened! Russell Jr. was born on a late summer's day. Waltzing into our arms as a six pound immeasurable treasure of cuteness and determination after being born at home. (We had felt while praying that we were to have a home birth and a way was made, even though I was in my 43rd … Continue reading 51. It happened!
