Below are all of the finished works and longer works-in-progress (WiPs) separated by genre and then by universe/series/etc. Items without an established universe are listed under "Unaffiliated Stories."
I've tried to arrange stories within the universes in chronological order with placeholder markers for WiPs not yet posted.
Urban Fantasy | Science Fiction | High Fantasy | Other Fiction | Fan Fiction
Urban/Suburban Fantasy
This section also includes Present Day or Near Future Fantasy and a dash of Paranormal Romance (clearly marked). If it happens on Earth and there's no Clarke's Third Law lampshade– then you'll find it here! 🙂
Werewolves, Very limited Magic use
Centuries ago a dying witch cursed an evil Baron and his seven sons… but the curse didn't go quite as planned. Generations later the Baron's descendants –by blood or adoptive oath– roam an increasingly urban world…
Imagine a universe where becoming a werewolf had more to do with changing your last name than who bit who. Where taking the oath meant perfect health and near instant healing. Where your mortal enemies worked with magical silver and no one else had a clue you existed. A fractured life you were forced to reinvent every twenty years just to stay hidden.
Dogs of the Never Never
Ghost Dogs and Deer (and people), Minimal magic usage
Jon was always chided for not 'living up to his potential', but at least he was happy. Now he's the living anchor for a pack of ghost dogs and the last thing he wants to do is find out how far his potential goes…
Dogs of the Never Never
Jonathan Black has spent his life fighting for the right to just be Jon. Hounded by teachers, his boss, and even his fast tracking big sister, to stop 'wasting his potential', Jon is bound and determined to reject the corporate rat race and everything that it stands for.
Akela's pack has just lost its Huntsman and they've got no time to lose. These ethereal Dogs guard the Veil between life and death and come hell or high water Jon's going to help them do it.
This was my NaNoWriMo 2009 and novel and the underlying universe fell out from under me during the month. I've got an idea on how to glue it back together, but for now it's mostly MuseFic and broken logic.
[One-Word Title]
This was my NaNoWriMo 2015 attempt at resurrecting the Dogs of the Never Never novel. It's a cominbation of MuseFic, outlines, revised drafts and (oddly) an actual story…

Riding the Curve : 100 words
Someone has to be average in his family and it may as well be Jon…
Replacement Parts : 100 words

Tales of the Drunken Unicorn
More Talking Animals than you can shake a stick at! Magic everywhere.
The last thing Samantha had expected when she went to Delta Sigma Phi's Halloween Party was that she'd end up the proud owner of a magical companion animal. But one drunken ouija board adventure later, she's got an annoyed unicorn following her around and a binding contract with no escape clause. It's not that she minds saving the world, it's just she'd got better things to do… like passing midterms, or finding better blackmail on her RA (Dry dorm? What dry dorm?).
Too Old for Neverland
Fairy Tales-ish, Near Future, Magic Usage
The girl who isn't Wendy traded away her name for immortality and a chance to stop the pied piper who wasn't Peter Pan from stealing any more children…
Too Old For Neverland : 632 words
They were too old for Neverland, those lost scarred souls that balanced on the edge of Growing Up.
The Tao of Names : 100 words
She wasn't Wendy, but she never had been; that much she could remember.
Momentum : 100 words
Over the years Wendy collects her own band of unLost Boys.
Whistling in the Dark
Near Future, Apocalyptic, Urban Fantasy/Soft Science Fiction
Five thousand years ago Good cheated and their victory in the millennial battle for control lasted a bit longer than it was supposed to. Now Evil has finally set things right, but no one told Good that the game was on. A thousand years of darkness are on the horizon and we're running out of flashlights…

Urban Fantasy | Science Fiction | High Fantasy | Other Fiction | Fan Fiction
Science Fiction
Most of the following stories are Soft Science Fiction with a few darts into unabashed Science Fantasy. Someday I will pull off a Hard SciFi story… but not yet (darnit).
Blackguards and Plaster Saints
Near Future, Soft Science Fiction
One morning the Earth woke to an alien ultimatum: tithe its children to the Fleet in exchange for defense against the interstellar war that was coming or face annihilation alone. They had a year to decide. Twelve months that lasted forever –that lasted a heartbeat– but in the end, they accepted. On Exodus, ten percent of the population between the ages of five and thirty-five vanished. In exchange the Ship left the accumulated knowledge from hundreds of worlds already harvested… and blueprints for ships of their own. Earth has forty years, four alien advisers, and an oncoming century of war.
Far Future, Soft Science Fiction
Firsts have the knack of shedding their mental humanity to slip into alien ways of thinking, which makes them perfect candidates for convincing sentient races we're something more than animals. But once that's done they have to find their way back again… and sometimes they need a helping hand to lead them home.
In Dreams of Trees
Fractal timelines, Soft Science Fiction
There's a city that waits in the spaces between the worlds, encasing an endless spiral of doors that open to worlds that could have been. But for some people those doors open in as well as out…
Gray and Tan are chasing a kidnapper, Blue and Horn are hunting a serial killer, and Red is trying to save the world. There's an Endless City hidden in the woods that holds the answers they need, but can they unravel its secrets in time?
Skipping Stones
Far Future, Soft Science Fiction
Humans found a way to travel in space, skipping through time… but it doesn't always work.
Bent, Not Broken : 100 words
The morning after the first successful Starways-DuPont-Boeing human skipdrive trial.
Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics : 161 words
The world cheered when the first pod skipped from low Earth orbit to Mars, then onto Pluto in the same fraction of a second.
Lost : 100 words
They were the Lost, those few dammed souls that skipped between the stars and fell out of Time.
And One To Grow On : 132 words
Auntie Meredith was just no good at buying presents.
Chance of a Lifetime : 150 words
She had skipped a hundred times before, bouncing back and forth on the colonial cargo runs.
On Behalf of the Company : 264 words
Skip, skip, skip, … skip, skip, skip
Near Future, Soft Science Fiction, Webcomics
Space in the future is vast and populated with more anthropomorphic species that you can shake a stick at! (And oddly anachronistic technologies because this was originally drawn back in 2000 and I am bad at predicting the future.)
This verse is primarily webcomic focused, although there are some prose bits as well. I didn't start out as a graphic novel 'verse, but it's hard to stop doodling once you start…
Unaffiliated Stories
Random Science Fiction Goodness
Ghosts : 100 words
sonder: n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Written for the challenge over on NerdFitness boards based on this post from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows.

Urban Fantasy | Science Fiction | High Fantasy | Other Fiction | Fan Fiction
High/Second World Fantasy
This is all of the second-world or High Fantasy in which our reality never existed, or exists only long enough for the protagonist to move from point A to point B.
The Listener'verse
Semi-Medieval Frontier Fantasy, Low-magic
This is a universe in which the dead can talk and Listeners—well, they listen.
In Peace (1100+ words, Starring Pel)
It was a Listener's job to put the dead to rest, no matter whose dead they were. (eBook version)

The Gate to Fenrith Lei
Real world to Archetypal Fantasy (literally)
In the land of Velanon, in the kingdom of Teravail, lies the fair city of Fenrith Lei…
So begins each daring adventure told over picnic lunches on lazy summer afternoons. Stories spun first by Wendy's husband and then, after his death, by their daughter, turn the woods out back into a glimpse of Somewhere Else. It isn't until after a car accident leaves her daughter comatose, that Wendy faces the woods alone and discovers Velanon is more than just a fairy tale. NaNoWriMo (WiP)
Songs of the Summer God
Limited Magic, Magical Companion Monsters
For as long as anyone can remember, otherworldly Goldens and Binders have roamed the land, feasting on magical stones as they appear. Humans with a knack for finding the stones are prized by both sides, but only the Goldens have integrated themselves into human society. Goldens work with their human companions to help protect the world from danger while Binders sulk in the shadows, mist-like demons that can take any form, they survive by abducting the talented.
At least that's what the Goldens would have you believe…
That Don't Impress Me Much
Talking Animals, Magic Galore, Generic Fantasy
Generic fantasy world where the magical companion animals are partners not sidekicks and the humans have a healthy respect for predators the size of a horse. A parody of the genre, of sorts.

Germans' wooded position until the enemy came out and surrendered. Sgt.

just so you know we lost someone worth mourning nov 4th….. CMoH
HAWK, JOHN D.Sergeant
He manned a light machinegun on 20 August 1944, near Chambois, France, a key point in the encirclement which created the Falaise Pocket. During an enemy counterattack, his position was menaced by a strong force of tanks and infantry. His fire forced the infantry to withdraw, but an artillery shell knocked out his gun and wounded him in the right thigh. Securing a bazooka, he and another man stalked the tanks and forced them to retire to a wooded section. In the lull which followed, Sgt. Hawk reorganized 2 machinegun squads and, in the face of intense enemy fire, directed the assembly of 1 workable weapon from 2 damaged guns. When another enemy assault developed, he was forced to pull back from the pressure of spearheading armor. Two of our tank destroyers were brought up. Their shots were ineffective because of the terrain until Sgt. Hawk, despite his wound, boldly climbed to an exposed position on a knoll where, unmoved by fusillades from the enemy, he became a human aiming stake for the destroyers. Realizing that his shouted fire directions could not be heard above the noise of battle, he ran back to the destroyers through a concentration of bullets and shrapnel to correct the range. He returned to his exposed position, repeating this performance until 2 of the tanks were knocked out and a third driven off. Still at great risk, he continued to direct the destroyers' fire into the Ger

Hi Unhurt,
FileReader (Java Platform SE 6)
Convenience class for reading character files. The constructors of this class assume that the default character encoding and the default byte-buffer size are appropriate. To specify these values yourself, construct an InputStreamReader on a FileInputStream.
FileReader is meant for reading streams of characters. For reading streams of raw bytes, consider using a FileInputStream.
FileInputStream (Java Platform SE 6)
A FileInputStream obtains input bytes from a file in a file system. What files are available depends on the host environment.
FileInputStream is meant for reading streams of raw bytes such as image data. For reading streams of characters, consider using FileReader.

Hi Cbani,
You can use FileReader to read .csv and .txt files as both file types are files that contain characters.
If you are using Excel to edit your csv file, try open it with notepad. You will see that each column is delimited by commas. Knowing this will help you read in data.
To process a csv file you will want to access those values which are delimited by commas. The split method of the String class can archeive this: See String.split(String Regex)
Alternatively, you could use the StringTokenizer class. StringTokenizer
Best of luck!

mannnn another hurtass "joint" by spike lee. What do people see in coloways like this. You literally make yourself seem colorblind

Though its exact inspiration(s) have yet to be specified, the Jordan Son of Mars pictured above manages to reflect its 'Pop Art' theme by applying playful shades of the primary colors. This look is vaguely reminiscent of corporate art thanks to all the major companies that use similar palettes in their logos, but the international concern that's the most obvious fit would be the Olympic Games and its five-ringed flag. Consider this a gradual lead-in before Jordan Brand gets serious around the time of the London Olympiad this summer, and get ready for the release at select retailers like West on Saturday, March 3rd.

Coming out of their first preseason game of the 2011 NFL season, Philadelphia Eagles fans have a lot to smile about. The team soared to a 13-6 victory over the Baltimore Ravens and showed their incredible potential. Both sides of the ball were solid in this victory, as the Eagles truly appeared to be a "dream team" during many plays, often looking like the far superior team against a worthy Baltimore Ravens opponent.
Many notes can be taken from the team's performance, but one must try to keep in mind that it is merely the preseason and that any positives and negatives should be taken with a grain of salt.
Here are five points from the preseason opener that should not be overreacted to.

Models: Gavin Waters and Drake RockI've always wondered what it would be like getting a private lap dance in the back of some seedy male strip club! I've heard you can't touch the dancers, nevertheless fuck them, so I hired Gavin Waters to strip for me and let me do whatever I wanted.
And he did!
Almost immediately I had him remove his shirt. What's the point, right? And then the gym pants and underwear.
When he was nude I had to taste him, and see what those muscles felt like with my tongue.
Before I selfishly got my mouth on his cock, I had him blow me. There's just something about watching a hot guy suck me. And I returned the favor, spending quality time mouthing his uncut prick.
I'm really getting into rimming lately. Having my face buried in Gavin's muscular ass, and my tongue drilling deep in his hole, I was in heaven!
But fucking that super tight ass was the best. I mean, come on, I had Gavin Waters looking up at me as I slammed my cock in his hole. And to fuck the cum out of the stripper's cock? Hot!
Leaning down, I slurped up his cum, let it dangle onto his tongue, and then we snowballed, a first for Gavin!
I definitely want another lap dance, it's a matter of finding someone who can top Gavin.

OTC >>Mike Miller Resume
> About OTC >
The Purpose and History of ORGANIZE Training Center
The purpose of ORGANIZE Training Center (OTC) is to strengthen democracy by supporting strong, participatory, democratic organizations whose principal constituency is people of low- to middle-income. OTC is committed to social, environmental and economic justice for all, to a democracy that is based on the active participation of all its citizens and residents, and to building strong communities based on the ideas of individual responsibility, solidarity and our interdependence as human beings. OTC is guided in its work by the values of the democratic tradition and the moral, social and economic justice teachings of the world's great religions. OTC is devoted to citizen education and training for effective participation in a democratic society.
OTC programs include the provision of consulting, workshop and training assistance to community, religious and labor organizations, broader education in the field, internships for individuals who want to deeply explore organizing and who may consider it as a life work, and the initiation of new projects to meet emerging interests and needs.
ORGANIZE Training Center (OTC) is now in its 37th year of operation as one of a number of centers devoted to community organizing and its underlying democratic values. OTC has worked with local multi-issue community organizations, a variety of single-constituency (senior, small business, labor, ethnic/racial, women's, disabled, homeowner and others) or single-issue (housing, economic development, job development and training, education, occupational health, planning, environment) organizations, national unions, religious groups and others.
In its work with local community organizations, OTC either initiated or provided early consulting, workshop and training support for efforts in Portland (OR), San Francisco, San Mateo County, Marin County, Fresno, Santa Barbara County, Statewide organization (all CA), Tucson (AZ), Denver (CO), rural Nebraska and Omaha (NE). Assistance has also been provided to groups in Miami (FL), New York City, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Cincinnati and Rhode Island.
In its national work, OTC has consulted with and/or done workshops for the Presbyterian Church (USA), United Church Board for Homeland Ministries, National Conference of Catholic Charities, United Methodist Church Board for Global Ministries, World Vision International and the American Federation of Teachers. It has worked with locals of the Service Employees International Union; Food & Commercial Workers; Hotel, Entertainment & Restaurant Employees; Firefighters; Transportation Workers; American Federation of Teachers and in California with the State Employees Association and the School Employees Association.
History of Training and Workshops
Internationally, OTC's Executive Director has participated in workshops, engaged in consultation and otherwise shared experience with those who share OTC's core values in Brazil, Poland, Bulgaria and Israel and in a special consultation with an Eastern European leader of the Roma people. Participants in OTC intensive workshops held in the US have come from Asia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Palestine, Western Europe, Poland and Romania.
For twenty years, OTC annually led two to four national four- and five-day workshops on community organizing. These workshops presented an overview of organizing as well as an introduction to basic philosophy, strategy and tactics. Participants came from all over the world, and included grassroots leaders as well as executives from national denominations and leaders of national organizations. (This workshop is now only available to groups who contract with OTC for its presentation.)
Because of fundamental changes in the organizational environment within which OTC works, the organization decided to make a major shift in program emphasis in 1992. OTC now engages in more specialized efforts, seeking to:
From 1993-1999, OTC was the principal consultant to Christians Supporting Community Organizing, a national effort aimed at involving churches of Evangelical, Holiness, Pentecostal and related faith perspectives in already existing congregation-based community organizing projects around the country that focus their efforts on social and economic justice and extending democracy to marginalized groups.
In 1997, OTC initiated the "Project for Labor Renewal," an effort to work with union locals in the San Francisco Bay Area that were interested in the transformation of their organizational cultures so that impediments to full-scale participation on the part of rank-and-file members could be overcome. This effort began with an 18-month exploratory period during which the basic ideas of our approach were presented to a cross-section of leaders in Bay Area union locals. The Project's "action phase" was kicked off March 19-21, 1999 at a 3-day workshop for locals who want to pursue the work of internal renewal with OTC's assistance. The results of this work were published in Renewing Labor, available from OTC (see Publications).
Until 2002, OTC published the quarterly, The Organizer Mailing; OTC supports the writing and research activities of its Executive Director and publishes articles and other educational materials in the field of organizing and subjects of related interest. The OTC Publications Catalog offers original articles and reprints on subjects of interest to community and labor organizers, as well as those who have an interest in the field. Items in the Catalog are especially useful for teaching organizing and for people in labor, religious, foundation and other fields that support organizing (see Publications).
About Executive Director, Mike Miller
Mike Miller is Executive Director of ORGANIZE Training Center and has 50 years of experience in the field of community organizing as a lead organizer, consultant, workshop leader, teacher, writer, trainer and initiator of new projects. He is the founding Executive Director of OTC, which is nationally recognized for its work in the field. He has published articles on or related to organizing in Christianity & Crisis, Organizing, The Organizer, Social Policy, Socialist Review, Generations, Religion & Race Reports, The Ark, New Conversations, Z Magazine, The Living Pulpit, International Journal of Urban Planning & Research and the Poverty & Race Research and Action Report, and has taught community organizing and urban politics at Stanford, University of California, Notre Dame, San Francisco State, Hayward State and Lone Mountain.

Unexpected street shower
Great for kids, but be aware you have to save them once the fountains are in full swing!
So, better take a detour here. It will save you a lot of wetness!

Tickets to Zwinger Museums
Take note that you buy the ticket for a one day entry at the basement level of the Zwinger, and go through the front entrance off the main Theatre Platz. Ticket prices to get into the museums are all separately purchased, and for most the the more popular are 6 Euro each, or you can purchase a one day ticket to get into all museums for 12 Euro-or 20 Euro for an annual ticket.
Alternatively, you can purchase a Dresden card for one day at 12,50 Euro, or two day card for 20 Euro, or family pass for two days at 41 Euro. The Schlosserland Saxon card no longer is honored for entry to Zwinger museums for free, and that is why we bought the cards to begin with. When we arrived at Zwinger they denied use of these cards and directed us to the office around the corner to the left of the main building. That sucked and cost money.
They are not helpful down in the basement level to describe the choices since they get so many tourists coming down there with little to no information being provided to them, in addition to this ticket office not being shown direction with good signage.

Wierd-Strange Dress and Styles
I noted that there were a fair number of youth that had bizarre attire, and had that hippie looking effect. The living area around Bischwofsweg has a lot of youth, and high unemployment, which has drawn them into this mode. It is not blatant, but does exist, and be aware to watch out for the negative impacts of this type of culture.
The van parked in a 15 minute zone for two days, and it did not bother them that they may have got tickets; and many of them. They were cleaning out the van for 1/2 day since they live in it on the road, which is always.

CAsh is King
Be aware that a lot of places do not take credit cards, or would take them, but really do not want to do so because of the merchant charge. I understand that and we paid most items in cash. We used ATM's to refill the cash needs.
Graffit is BAd Wherever it is
The area we stayed at on Bischofsweg had a fair amount of graffiti, from the youth looking for something to do, I guess. Either way it is a turnoff for tourists, and they wonder if it is indicative of other things that they need to worry about. This was especially prevalent along Gorlitz Street, which has a lot of younger people living around there.
- Arts and Culture
Theatre Platz-Look Carefully
There are vehicles, horse drawn carriages, buses, bikes, and whatever else that may claim you as a statistic unless you look both ways when crossing the street. No many streets and cross walks are marked, either, so you need to make sure you have the right of way and no impediment is in your path to attempt crossing the street. This holds true for the area around Zwinger and Semper Opera but also the Altmarket that has trams, buses, and cars going swiftly down the streets. Use the crosswalks.

I May Still Be Getting a Ticket
I " saw a flash" when going through an intersection. Yes, the light was turning, or maybe turned right after I went past to point of no return. Either way, the flash startled me, and right away thought this must be a camera set up to catch people running red lights. The ticket may still be coming my way since this was a rental vehicle. UGH
- Road Trip
Trams Come Close to the Curb
I almost got bumped more than once when trying to get out of the vehicle, or standing too close to the curb. There is not more than 6-9 inches for the trams to pass by along the curb in some areas. It really is scary when it swoozes by you going 20 MPH and at the last minute you hear it.
You really cannot blame the trams, though. These streets are narrow and were okay for the old times when horses traversed them, but when high rise buildings are up close to the streets, there is no room to expand them

Traffic is Jammed All Around
WE drove a vehicle while we were there, and had to wait at some lights, but not way too long. During rush hours to get to work and home, the traffic got congested more. We used Konigsbrucke Strasse a lot, and it gets backed up even though it is two lanes each way, plus the trams using them also. Bautzen Strasse was especially heavy traffic heading east, and it took over 3/4 hour to go about 5 miles in this jam.
The worst, though is the potential for very long back-up of traffic on the highways. Due to work being done, this backs up the traffic for miles; literally. One long one going the other way, thankfully was over 10 miles backed up on Highway #4, and not moving at all. The delay as we passed it was only one lane of road work being performed. Be prepared for a lot of extra time if you use the roads.
- Road Trip
Drugs ARe to be Found
I noted that around the area we stayed along Bischofsweg, there were a lot of youth between 18-30 years. I also noted that a fair number of them were, or had been high form some type of drug; mostly marijuana I presume. BElieve me, I know what it looks like.
The Alaunpark in the north sector that we were next to is a haven for that type of thing
- Arts and Culture
Airport Information Center Help-Are Not
I tried in vain to get these people to help me, and I spoke some fairly good English to boot. I was looking for the discount car rental place where the vehicle was reserved, and asked if they could help. They said no and go try all the rental companies. I already did that I explained, to no avail. They just ignored me and were major rude people, and sore sure did not want to help foreign tourists as much as locals of the country. Yes that is true.
It reminded me of the attitude that prevailed under another prior rule of lifes' destiny, and have a not so caring outlook on life or helping people.
- Arts and Culture
Restaurant sharks
There are some colourful well dressed classic figures roaming the streets of Dresden.
Some look like traditional city guides, but in fact they are just restaurant sharks; not pushy, but stll. Others are more like street artist, impersonating Bach or other historical figures.
Well, great for a picture, but not really some local to ask unbiased information from.

- Hiking and Walking
Some parts of Dresden are still restored, while elsewhere maintenance takes place.
It will take some decades before construction work will settle.
Untill than, watch out for (re-)construction activities!

Never ever take "ugly" pics of their beloved Frauenkirche and publish them in internet.
I published this pic in www.fotocommunity.de and got the most angry and insulting comments of people from Dresden. And I do not think, that this pic is really as bad as people told me. I have now deleted this pic from the fotocommunity so that I do not upset them anymore.

Home to one of the Tyrol's most precious biotopes, the Rosengarten gorge is situated just a short walk away from the centre of Imst. The Schinderbach winds its way for 1.5 km from the 'blue grotto' through the bedrock of Imst's low mountain terraces to St. John's church. In doing so, it passes down through 200 m of rock. For geologists, it also reflects millions of years of the earth's history, but having said that, you don't have to be a geological expert to marvel at the beauty of the gorge with its abundance of flowers, wildlife and stones. Your most intensive experience will doubtless be the wildly romantic narrow ravine and its wonderful natural phenomena on a guided tour of the geology and plant life at this spot.

BOWLING GREEN - The internal affairs committee of the Buckeye State Sheriffs' Association has been asked to investigate whether Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn violated departmental policy by firing his gun during a standoff with a suicidal man Tuesday.
Chief Deputy Eric Reynolds said yesterday that he decided to have the outside agency review the case for objectivity's sake.
"I just felt that to be totally neutral and unbiased, the best thing to do would be to have another agency outside of the county conduct the investigation and the review board," he said.
Wood County sheriff's deputies and the county's Special Response Team were called Tuesday to the home of Philip Harris, just north of Bowling Green, where Mr. Harris had a gun and was threatening to kill himself.
According to incident reports, Mr. Harris also said "he was going to make one of the deputies shoot him and began to ask who wanted to shoot him."
About 2 1/2 hours into the three-hour standoff with the officers, Sheriff Wasylyshyn fired his gun once in what he said was an attempt to shoot Mr. Harris' gun out of his hand. The sheriff missed.
No one was injured, and officers eventually were able to subdue Mr. Harris and take him into custody.
Sandusky County Sheriff David Gangwer, who serves as chairman of the internal affairs committee for the Buckeye State Sheriffs' Association, said he would ask a sheriff's office outside Wood County to send a detective to investigate the incident.
"They look at their policies and procedures and especially when it comes to discharging a weapon and whatever they conclude, they go right down the middle of the road and give their report to the sheriff that requested it," Sheriff Gangwer said, adding that he and the executive director of the sheriffs' association also would receive copies of the investigator's conclusions.
Chief Deputy Reynolds said that he took the sheriff's gun yesterday as evidence for the investigation but issued a new gun to the sheriff, who remains on duty. "He's still sheriff. He's still in control," Mr. Reynolds said.

Charlie Christian

|Background information
|Birth name
|Charles Henry Christian
July 29, 1916
Bonham, Texas, U.S.
|March 2, 1942
(aged 25)
Staten Island, New York, U.S.
|Jazz, swing

Charles Henry "Charlie" Christian (July 29, 1916 – March 2, 1942) was an American swing and jazz guitarist.
Christian was an important early performer on the electric guitar, and a key figure in the development of bebop and cool jazz. He gained national exposure as a member of the Benny Goodman Sextet and Orchestra from August 1939 to June 1941. His single-string technique, combined with amplification, helped bring the guitar out of the rhythm section and into the forefront as a solo instrument. John Hammond[1] and George T. Simon[2] called Christian the best improvisational talent of the swing era. In the liner notes to the 1972 Columbia album Solo Flight: The Genius of Charlie Christian, Gene Lees writes that, "Many critics and musicians consider that Christian was one of the founding fathers of bebop, or if not that, at least a precursor to it."[3]
Christian's influence reached beyond jazz and swing. In 1990, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame under the early influence category. Christian was raised in Oklahoma City and was one of many musicians who jammed along the city's "Deep Deuce" section on N.E. Second Street. In 2006 Oklahoma City renamed a street in its Bricktown entertainment district Charlie Christian Avenue.
Early life[edit]
Christian was born in Bonham, Texas, but his family moved to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma when he was a small child. His parents were musicians and he had two brothers, Edward, born in 1906, and Clarence, born in 1911. All three sons were taught music by their father, Clarence Henry Christian. Clarence Henry was struck blind by fever, and in order to support the family he and the boys would work as buskers, on what the Christians called "busts." He would have them lead him into the better neighborhoods where they would perform for cash or goods. When Charles was old enough to go along, he first entertained by dancing.[4] Later he learned guitar, inheriting his father's instruments upon his death when Charles was 12.[5]
He attended Douglass School in Oklahoma City, and was further encouraged in music by instructor Zelia N. Breaux. Charles wanted to play tenor saxophone in the school band, but she insisted he try trumpet instead.[5] As he believed playing the trumpet would disfigure his lip, he quit to pursue his interest in baseball, at which he excelled.[6]
In a 1978 interview with Charlie Christian biographer Craig McKinney, Clarence Christian said that in the 1920s and '30s Edward Christian led a band in Oklahoma City as a pianist and had a shaky relationship with trumpeter James Simpson. Around 1931, he took guitarist "Bigfoot" Ralph Hamilton and began secretly schooling the younger Charles on jazz. They taught him to solo on three songs, "Rose Room", "Tea for Two", and "Sweet Georgia Brown". When the time was right they took him out to one of the many after-hours jam sessions along "Deep Deuce", Northeast Second Street in Oklahoma City.[citation needed]
"Let Charles play one," they told Edward. "Ah, nobody wants to hear them old blues," Edward replied. After some encouragement, he allowed Charles to play. "What do you want to play?" he asked. All three songs were big in the early 1930s and Edward was surprised that Charles knew them. After two encores, Charles had played all three and "Deep Deuce" was in an uproar. He coolly dismissed himself from the jam session, and his mother had heard about it before he got home.[7]
Charles fathered a daughter, Billie Jean Christian (December 23, 1932 – July 19, 2004) by Margretta Lorraine Downey of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.[7]
Charles soon was performing locally and on the road throughout the Midwest, as far away as North Dakota and Minnesota. By 1936 he was playing electric guitar and had become a regional attraction. He jammed with many of the big name performers traveling through Oklahoma City including Teddy Wilson and Art Tatum. It was Mary Lou Williams, pianist for "Andy Kirk and His Clouds of Joy", who told record producer John Hammond about Charlie Christian.[8]
National fame[edit]

In 1939, Christian auditioned for John Hammond, who recommended him to bandleader Benny Goodman. Goodman was the fourth white bandleader to feature black musicians in his live band: the first was Jimmy Durante, for whom clarinetist Achille Baquet played and recorded in Durante's Original New Orleans Jazz Band (1918–1920); the second was violinist Arthur Hand, who led the California Ramblers, which, from 1922-25, included trumpeter Bill Moore, who was billed as The Hot Hawaiian. The third was Ben Bernie, whose band from 1925-1928 also featured Bill Moore. Goodman became the fourth by bringing Teddy Wilson in on piano in 1935, and Lionel Hampton on vibraphone in 1936. Goodman hired Christian to play with the newly formed Goodman Sextet in September 1939.[9]
It has been claimed that Goodman was initially uninterested in hiring Christian because the electric guitar was a relatively new instrument. Goodman had been exposed to the instrument with Floyd Smith and Leonard Ware among others, none of whom had the ability of Christian. There is a report of Goodman unsuccessfully trying to buy out Floyd Smith's contract from Andy Kirk. However, Goodman was so impressed by Christian's playing that he hired him instead.[7]
There are several versions of the first meeting of Christian and Goodman on August 16, 1939. The encounter that afternoon at the recording studio had not gone well. Christian recalled in a 1940 Metronome magazine article, "I guess neither one of us liked what I played," but Hammond decided to try again—without consulting Goodman. (Christian says Goodman invited him to the show that evening.)[10]
He installed Christian on the bandstand for that night's set at the Victor Hugo restaurant in Los Angeles. Displeased at the surprise, Goodman called Rose Room, a tune he assumed Christian would be unfamiliar with. Unknown to Goodman, Christian had been reared on the tune, and he came in with his first chorus of about twenty, all of them different, all unlike anything Goodman had heard before. That version of Rose Room lasted forty minutes. By its end, Christian was in the band. In the course of a few days, Christian went from making $2.50 a night to $150 a week.[3]
Christian was placed in Goodman's new sextet, which included Lionel Hampton, Fletcher Henderson, Artie Bernstein and Nick Fatool. By February 1940 Christian dominated the jazz and swing guitar polls and was elected to the Metronome All Stars. In the spring of 1940 Goodman let most of his entourage go in a reorganization move. He retained Christian, and in the fall of that year Goodman led a sextet with Christian, Count Basie, longtime Duke Ellington trumpeter Cootie Williams, former Artie Shaw tenor saxophonist Georgie Auld and later drummer Dave Tough. This all-star band dominated the jazz polls in 1941, including another election to the Metronome All Stars for Christian. Johnny Guarnieri, who replaced Henderson in the first sextet, filled the piano chair in Basie's absence.[citation needed]
In 1966, 24 years after his death, Christian was inducted into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame. In 1989, Christian became one of the first inductees into the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame.[citation needed]
Style and influences[edit]
Christian's solos are frequently referred to as horn-like, and in that sense he was more influenced by horn players such as Lester Young and Herschel Evans[11] than by early acoustic guitarists like Eddie Lang and jazz/bluesman Lonnie Johnson, although they both had contributed to the expansion of the guitar's role from "rhythm section" instrument to a solo instrument. Christian admitted he wanted his guitar to sound like a tenor saxophone.[12] French gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt had little influence on Christian, but he was obviously familiar with some of his recordings.[13] Guitarist Mary Osborne recalled hearing him play Django's solo on "St. Louis Blues" note for note, but then following it with his own ideas.[13]
By 1939 there had already been electric guitar soloists—Leonard Ware, George Barnes, trombonist/composer Eddie Durham had recorded with Count Basie's Kansas City Six, Floyd Smith recorded "Floyd's Guitar Blues" with Andy Kirk in March 1939, using an amplified lap steel guitar, and Texas Swing pioneer Eldon Shamblin was using amplified electric guitar with Bob Wills.[citation needed]
Christian paved the way for the modern electric guitar sound that was followed by other pioneers, including T-Bone Walker, Eddie Cochran, Cliff Gallup, Scotty Moore, Franny Beecher, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Carlos Santana and Jimi Hendrix. For this reason Christian was inducted in 1990 into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[14]
Christian's exposure was so great in the brief period he played with Goodman that he influenced not only guitarists, but other musicians as well. The influence he had on "Dizzy" Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk and Don Byas can be heard on their early "bop" recordings "Blue'n Boogie" and "Salt Peanuts". Other musicians, such as trumpeter Miles Davis, cite Christian as an early influence. Indeed, Christian's "new" sound influenced jazz as a whole. He reigned supreme in the jazz guitar polls up to two years after his death.[15] Earth/Black Sabbath's first manager Jim Simpson describes the band's first song, "A Song for Jim" as an "absolute Charlie Christian takeoff."[16]
Bebop and Minton's Playhouse[edit]
Charlie Christian was an important contributor to the music that became known as "bop" or "Bebop". Some of the participants in those early after-hours affairs at Minton's Playhouse, where be-bop was born, credit Charlie with the name "be-bop," citing his humming of phrases as the onomatopoetic origin of the term.[17]
Private recordings made in September 1939 in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Goodman aficionado Jerry Newhouse capture the newly hired Christian while on the road with Goodman and feature Goodman tenor sax man Jerry Jerome and then local bass man Oscar Pettiford. Taking multiple solos, Christian shows much the same improvisational skills later captured on the Minton's and Monroe's recordings in 1941, suggesting that he had already matured as a musician.[3] The Minneapolis recordings include "Stardust", "Tea for Two", and "I've Got Rhythm", the latter a favorite piece of bop composers and jammers.[citation needed]
An even more striking example is a series of recordings made at Minton's Playhouse, an after-hours club located in the Hotel Cecil at 210 West 118th Street in Harlem by Columbia student Jerry Newman on a portable disk recorder in 1941. Newman captured Christian, accompanied by Joe Guy on trumpet, Kenny Kersey on piano and Kenny Clarke on drums.[18]
His use of tension and release, a technique employed by Lester Young, Count Basie[19] and later bop musicians, is also present on "Stompin' at the Savoy", included among the Newman recordings. The collection also includes recordings made at Clark Monroe's Uptown House, another late-night jazz haunt in the Harlem of 1941 that include Oran "Hot Lips" Page. Other recordings include tenor sax man Don Byas. The Minton's recordings were long rumored to feature "Dizzy" Gillespie and Thelonious Monk, but that has since been proven untrue, although both were regulars at the jam sessions, with Monk a regular in the Minton's house band.[18]
Kenny Clarke claimed that Epistrophy and Rhythm-a-Ning were Charlie Christian compositions that Christian played with Clarke and Thelonious Monk at Minton's jam sessions. The Rhythm-a-ning line is heard on Down on Teddy's Hill, and behind the introduction on Guy's Got To Go from the Newman recordings. It is also a line from Mary Lou Williams' Walkin' and Swingin.[citation needed]
Clarke said Christian first showed him the chords to Epistrophy on a ukulele.[20] These recordings have been packaged under a number of different titles, including After Hours and The Immortal Charlie Christian. While the recording quality of many of these sessions is poor, they show Christian stretching out much longer than he could on the Benny Goodman sides. On the Minton's and Monroe's recordings, Christian can be heard taking multiple choruses on a single tune, playing long stretches of melodic ideas with ease.[21]
Christian was just as adept with understatement as well. His work on the Goodman sextet sides Soft Winds, Till Tom Special, and A Smo-o-o-oth One, show his use of very few, well placed melodic notes. His work on the Sextet's recordings of ballads Stardust, Memories of You, Poor Butterfly, I Surrender Dear and On the Alamo as well as his work on Profoundly Blue with the Edmond Hall Celeste Quartet (1941) show hints of what was later called cool jazz.[19][22] Although credited for very few, Christian composed many of the original tunes recorded by the Benny Goodman Sextet.[23]
Health and death[edit]
In the late 1930s Christian had contracted tuberculosis[24] and in early 1940 was hospitalized for a short period in which the Goodman group was on hiatus due to Goodman's back trouble. Goodman was hospitalized in the summer of 1940 after the band's brief stay at Santa Catalina Island, California, where the group stayed when on the west coast.[20]
Christian returned home to Oklahoma City in late July 1940 before returning to New York City in September 1940. In early 1941, Christian resumed his hectic lifestyle, heading to Harlem for late-night jam sessions after finishing gigs with the Goodman Sextet and Orchestra in New York City. In June 1941 he was admitted to Seaview, a sanitarium on Staten Island in New York City. He was reported to be making progress, and Down Beat magazine reported in February 1942 that he and Cootie Williams were starting a band.[25]
After a visit that same month to the hospital by tap dancer and drummer Marion Joseph "Taps" Miller, Christian declined in health and died March 2, 1942. He was 25 years old. He was buried in an unmarked grave in Bonham, Texas, and a Texas State Historical Commission Marker and headstone were placed in Gates Hill Cemetery in 1994. The location of the historical marker and headstone was disputed, and in March 2013, Fannin County, Texas, recognized that the marker was in the wrong spot and that Christian is buried under the concrete slab.[26]
As leader[edit]
Although Christian never recorded professionally as a leader, compilations have been released of his sessions as a sideman where he is a featured soloist, of practice and warm-up recordings for these sessions, and some lower-quality recordings of Christian's own groups performing in nightclubs, by amateur technicians.[3]
