Wassail Woes by Diane Taylor
What happens when you combine a Solitary Druid, an injured Biker, a pot of Wassail brew on the evening before Christmas Eve? Absolute Mayhem!!! Jeri Butler is a Druid Pagan, making wassail on the night before Christmas Eve. She's a Solitary, who had just put the mistletoe over the entryway of her home, and had just settled down to do some programming work on her laptop for her job, when a loud sound is heard out front. Opening the door, she comes face to face with, oh my, Kris Odinsen. He's crashed his bike and has a twisted foot to boot. And to top it off, literally, white hair and an ice blue eye, since the other is covered with an eye-patch. Oh what shall she do? Now, the sparks fly and come to find out. Odin has taken a holiday from Valhalla. The next morning, her strict Catholic parents show up uninvited and unannounced to find this sexy biker in the living room, Jeri in a Bah Humbug T-Shirt and jeans, and a big pot of really good smelling wassail boiling merrily away on the stove. It is definitely not a case of the more the merrier.

Review of Diane Taylor's story Wassail Woes:
Jeri Butler is trimming her house for the holy days in the druid calendar. She has invited three friends to come to her house.

MerLion's Pleasure
What happens when you mix a woman bent on Maritime History and the ghost of an Irish pirate in Greece? Absolute Mayhem! Teresa Lorence is a thesis away from gaining her Doctorate in Maritime History. Through a friend of a friend, she gets to fly to Greece for some experience in building a Pirate Vessel. The moment she boards the plane from New Orleans, she is dropped squarely in the middle of a mystery. First is the package containing an ancient map and a note signed only with MM, then the tales of a ship called the MerLion that sails the Mediteranean and the ghostly stud muffin that suddenly appears in the Captain's cabin, demanding an explanation. From there, the mystery deepens, widens, and becomes more complicated than the Seven Seas combined. Through it all, Teresa is drawn to the handsome ghost, who she now knows as the MerLion himself. Has Fate brought them together, only to be ripped apart by death? Come aboard, open the book, and let your imagine sail you into the adventure of a lifetime!
