Global Warming Fun 3: A Tick In Time Read online

PARTNERS COMPARED TO THE FALCONE FAMILY," the jants told him.

  "Yes, that must have been it," George agreed. Pleasure flashed through him then, the way that it did nowadays every time he did or thought something that particularly pleased his jant friends. It sent chills up and down his spine, and he couldn't avoid moaning and smiling just a bit. It was something like an orgasm but not quite as intense. How they did that to him he had no idea but he definitely liked it! He had a sudden notion that he should go home now, home to his nearby jant occupied home and his tick occupied wife Julie and their three tick occupied children. His entire family was incredibly healthy and happy!

  Was going home now his notion or that of the jants? And did it matter? He would miss being at the office but tomorrow he would return and find new ways to further please his little insect friends! He marveled again at how wonderful and safe his life had become since meeting the jants. Life was certainly good!

  About Other Publications by This Author

  This is the third story in the series Global Warming Fun. As many as ten instalments are expected. If you enjoyed this short story, you may be interested in reading the other short stories and novellas of this series as they gradually emerge. Thus far they have been primarily science fiction in nature, but some series elements with a stronger fantasy orientation are anticipated. The next story will return to the Mohawk Reservation of Giants' Rest visited in the second story of the series.

  You may also be interested in the already published full-length e-books of this author, including a diverse collection of twenty fantasy and sci-fi short stories titled There Goes The Neighborhood; Earthly Fantasy/Science Fiction Short Stories. Like my novels, these short stories range from pure science fiction to pure fantasy, and most take place in contemporary Earth settings.

  If you like ancient secrets, magic and science, romance and adventure, science fiction and fantasy, parallel universes and hidden fantasy worlds, try reading the full-length novels Secrets of Goth Mountain (which like the second Global Warming Fun story/ novella has a Native American setting) and its loosely coupled epic fun-packed sequel Government Men. Government Men has a bit of everything, including the book itself and its author. Yes, oddly enough the book includes itself, along with unicorns, psychics, space aliens, an impending Armageddon, and much more! Both of these action filled books employ a great deal of science-based fiction, as well as strong doses of fantasy and romance.

  Bird lovers that like strong human female heroines and stronger blue jay heroes may (if T-rex sized raptors and other nuisances can be tolerated) enjoy an adventure trip to Aves the bird planet, achieved by reading the traditional science fiction thriller Blue Dawn Jay of Aves. Other than many of my short stories and much of Global Warming Fun, this is my only 'pure' science fiction work to date.

  Fantasy noir detective fans that can abide what used to be known by feminists as a 'male chauvinist pig' private detective as a hero, and can also tolerate trolls, elves, and other unexpected visitors to our world along with a talking mob cat, may enjoy The Shrinking Nuts Case. This is my only novel length 'pure' fantasy work to date.

  I try to employ some humor in most of my works, particularly in Government Men, The Shrinking Nuts Case, and some of my short stories. I also lean heavily towards positive outcomes, although just as in real life, those don't always happen.

  To learn the author's world view including thoughts on multiverse and quantum mechanics physics concepts and how that compares with phenomena that occur in the above novels, get geeky with the brief little e-book NOW and the Weltanschauung of Government Men.

  Good reading!
