Born into poverty and violence, he works his way out of an urban combat zone to build personal prosperity. Finishing university as an engineer and inventor, he goes to war in Vietnam as an Air Force Lieutenant and intelligence analyst. He soon becomes known to grunts in the bush as “one scary dude” for his sniper skills and the speed of his martial arts movements. More than one Viet Cong partisan will have reason to call him “the Tall Assassin” in their own language. Starting at an early age, Bob becomes a man who loves women – and more than one of them love him. Lessons learned from his first intimate teacher will draw many to his bed, for good or ill. One ex-wife hates him, though her mother would happily give him references. His business partners call him “Colonel” or “Doctor”, but to the women who live with him he is “The Captain”... and they'll be more than happy to sail or serve under him. Now, another young woman wants to enter the Captain's life. Having fallen for one of his lady lovers, Marie decides that if she's to be with Desiree, then she'd better meet the man that Desiree goes home to and adores. When Desiree and her co-mistress Renate propose to add an 18 year old Library Science major to the Captain's stable of eager mares, he lays down the law: Marie must first research and write his biography – without their help. She needs to know him as a person and a friend in all of his many parts, before playing bedtime games. “Sex with strangers may sound like thrills... but more often than not, it's a lonely business.” The person that Marie discovers in her research and shared time will become one of her “life teachers”, shaping the person she becomes as an adult, even as she falls in love again. She will learn many things from the Captain and his women – and from others for whom she cares. Set against a turbulent backdrop of 50 years, The Captain's Story is a journey through war and remembrance, love and loss, and learning the oldest lesson: “The more we love, the more we can love.” The Captain's Story is intended for mature audiences. less

Prequel to “The Captain's Story” Marie Eddings is not quite as naive as many 18 year old University freshman girls. But when she meets Desiree Compton, she soon writes in her journal, “It was like the room fell in on me.” She is desperate to get close to this tall amazon, even if she doesn't yet know how she's going to make it happen. Raised in New York City as the daughter of a theatrical booking agent, Marie is no stranger to an active and sophisticated love life... morePrequel to “The Captain's Story” Marie Eddings is not quite as naive as many 18 year old University freshman girls. But when she meets Desiree Compton, she soon writes in her journal, “It was like the room fell in on me.” She is desperate to get close to this tall amazon, even if she doesn't yet know how she's going to make it happen. Raised in New York City as the daughter of a theatrical booking agent, Marie is no stranger to an active and sophisticated love life. “Mom and I started talking about birth control and sexually transmitted diseases when I was ten years old. Before my 16th birthday, I'd figured out that I like both guys and gals – a lot! – and I would never be a virgin bride.” But nothing has prepared her for the soft collision when she encounters Desiree teaching a weekend seminar at the University Extension. Besides teaching, Desiree is an accomplished professional who leads the Network Security Department for Metroline Insurance, a Fortune 1000 insurance company. She's also a lady with a past. She's been a sexual rebel, a club stripper, a secretary in the Pentagon, sometimes a software programmer and skilled computer hacker. Des quickly recognizes not only Marie's youthful attractiveness, but her mental quickness and intelligence... deeper qualities that draw the two together powerfully. This is going to get complicated, she thinks – and it will. Des' first task is to introduce Marie to her lover Renate – with whom she is co-mistress to Doctor (formerly Colonel) Robert Thomas Temple, in a menage. Their threesome with the good doctor may be about to become a foursome. He just doesn't know it yet. Due to sensual situations and content, Meeting the Captain's Women is intended for mature audiences. less
