C Wolf Forrest - My Husband

Until I heard a nightingale,

I didn't know I had been waiting for that sweet, sad evening song

to neatly weave my final threads . . . . Adelle Bradford

Once upon a time . . . there lived a fair maiden in a free land with uncounted other Freelanders. She had a pure heart and, at an early age, was enthralled by the innocence of newborns and animals of every sort. She believed in love, a sheltered life and she believed in magic – the magic that had been provided by the Lord God and she would admire those wonders in every flower and meadow across the land, the magic of towering trees that could grow to be hundreds of years old, the magic she found in the innocent eyes of her animals friends, including a small goat she had named Robin. This maiden had an inquisitive mind and she would always ask questions of anyone so she could understand the world around her; she would also always write down the answers she found along with her thoughts of what she considered right and a fair measure and what she thought of as wrong and hurtful to others.

It came to pass that she married a knight from a foreign land and she loved him. The knight also loved her deeply and discovered her secret passion for writing and the love she had for animals. He had not been made familiar by his own family with the needs and magic of animals so she set about teaching him and he took and shared her love and tender feelings.

These two, man and woman, had an exciting life together but it was not always easy. Their life, however, was always marked by their mutual need to be in the company of the other and their love never ceased. For two score and five years, they shared joy and sorrow, triumph and disappointments, the lives and deaths of their animal children and she taught him about honesty and loyalty, one to the other. She also taught him about writing and the passion which drove her to it . . . .

The Readers

I love to read.

Please let me repeat this because, in my opinion, it addresses the conundrum of publishing every writer faces, sooner or later: I love to read fiction and non-fiction, novels and short stories of every genre, mystery, drama, fantasy, science fiction and on and on. I have been known at times to read poetry and under pressure may even admit to have written some, not well perhaps but just the same. I do not read at record levels but one or two full-length books a week tend to satisfy what I consider a voracious appetite for the written word, one after the other, spinning all sorts of ideas and concepts into and around the insides of my head.

"Phantom Justice" A Novel by C Wolf Forrest,

available in Paperback from Amazon and in Hardcover from Publisher

In cities nationwide, some of the worst criminals are violently executed-shot, stabbed, strangled, and poisoned-but law-enforcement agencies have not connected these crimes. The typical response is a sigh of relief when these sociopaths, psychopaths, pedophiles and cop-killers are sent to the gates of hell where everyone agrees they belong. A Boston homicide detective reaches out to his brother, an FBI agent in Baltimore. A small FBI task force, headed by Carmen Isabella d'Aragon, soon discovers the shadowy truth: Hundreds of psychopathic killers have been executed over the years and, time and time again, no clues have been left behind or have been totally misleading. Carmen becomes the target of a serial killer. Will she survive the encounter...or will an executioner intervene on her behalf? And why does U.S. President Bradford declare this matter "top secret" and rule against a larger task force?

"Shadows on My Soul" Memories and Stories from a life long past

and memories of a Love into Eternity

"The United States of America became the meadow that I discovered in my early youth and wholly embraced for its freedoms of expression of one's own views, its acceptance of personal differences. I came to explore its freedoms by simply being different, which, all at once, came to be a personality trait to be admired, rather than belittled and berated. Today, the strange land is that which I left behind and I have become a stranger to those I used to know and cherish.

"This is also the story of one fine American woman. "What country is this that it produces such a woman even though coming from the most difficult of childhoods? These beautiful, tough creatures who fight their way through thick and thin and, in the end, triumph over their environment and enemies? There are millions of those American females who, in their own uniqueness, manage this seemingly impossible feat of surviving the worst. Yes, Adelle was unique but that's just about the norm in this country, is it not?"
