Bullfrog, you're a good writer.
Love your stories. Its like reading a book, I can almost see everything that happened.

Thank you both, I do love to write and tell stories. When people say kinds things like this I find it so encouraging. I’m working on a book and I’m really enjoying it. My wife is helping me with input from a woman’s point of view. Two kindred spirits that were meant to be together since the beginning of time. They had lived many different lives but never were good enough to go on to their ultimate reward. They were watching the third stone from the sun waiting for another chance to be together.
They knew they would find each other, they always did. They each had an ally and a personal nemesis. Time had no meaning to them, it was spread out like an endless fabric. Some of their lives were in the past and some in the present or future. Sometime one of their allies or their nemesis would leave before them and they knew the time was drawing near.
A point of light would shimmer and they each would be drawn to earth to meet and try again. Thrust into circumstances beyond their control and naturally rebellious spirits, they find themselves in one epic struggle after another. The first book is taking place in Mexico shortly after Cortez conquered New Spain and the colonies were thriving.
The main male character was not born a bad man, he and his father were fishermen. But the Viceroys men killed his father falsely accusing him of piracy for the bounty and he escapes and becomes a wanted man. He was taught by his uncle, a master swordsman from Spain how to be deadly with the blade and bow. He vows to avenge his father and becomes a pirate. With his ferocious crew of freed slaves he prowls the Carribean killing every Spanish soldier that he can. (I'm having a great time with the interaction of the newly freed slaves and this scoundrel)
She is the only child of the king of Spain and heir to the throne. Bold and beautiful, she is a spirit that cannot be tamed. She demands to see the new colonies that she will soon rule and her father against his better judgment consents, knowing that she will do it with or without his permission.
With a double escort of galleons her ship sails for New Spain only to be attacked by the pirate and she is taken captive. As bad as she doesn’t want to, she slowly falls for the rouge, she always was attracted to bad boys. She joins him and they have a son, a direct blood heir to the throne. The kings men relentlessly pursue them so his son can take the throne.
I’m having a blast writing it and we can keep bringing these spirits back over and over again in different lifetimes. The old west and she is an Indian and he is a soldier, the civil and Viet Nam wars, it is an endless story.
