Curtis Ray Jones

I'm a 73-year-old retired factory husband, father of two, grandfather of one. I am an amateur Sci-Fi Fantasy writer and write little poetry too, none of it published, I don't count Publish America, which 'published' my current project, Banished To Earth, in 2004. My only formal education is a creative writing class I had way back in 1970, so I'm kind of out of my depth on this site, but I'm trying to keep up. Love sharing my stuff. Thanks for the opportunity to do so. Ray

A lady Priest

Posted on Tue, 07 Apr 2026

Hope she doesn't put a target on her back, or worse get tempted from God toward darkness that can only lie and deliver corruption and death.

Another beautifully written piece a pleasure to read and learn from

Really enjoyable

Posted on Fri, 27 Mar 2026

Now that's the way I want to write, the previous chapter really drives home the threat stalking Billie and Danielle. 

  This is kind of prose I need to read. to hone my own meager skills.

Will certainly read more

Excellent

Your prose is wonderful, a joy to read

So the witch is 'free', but scared by evil still doomed by of death, and lust for etenal life.

Her savior her demon tormentor has done her no favors, but that was never his intent.

Another abusive parent, so

Posted on Wed, 23 Mar 2011

Another abusive parent, so the Hunters don't want children on thier hunting rounds, curious.

Her father better have a good reason for beating his daughter, no there is no good reason for beating a child. He's a butt!

  Well, so much...
