Bill and the Whistling Death

|WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM · WEEKLY TO BI-WEEKLY UPDATES| A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever--the Corsair. *** Retired Navy pilot William Beckington never planned to move on after The Incident and has lived with the guilt for seventy years. After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget. Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bulldog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like. While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing Incident, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live--and rekindle his best friend's legacy before he succumbs. *** *This enjoyable story has received a special shout-out from Wattpad Ambassador @RookWri78 for a strong first chapter!* *Bill and the Whistling Death falls under the Wildcard Category--with elements of Historical Fiction, Adventure, Literary Fiction, Drama, and slight Coming-of-Age. There is also a queer side character--just FYI, but it stays quiet because of the time Bill served.* Are you curious about the airplanes we have at Patriots Point?

An American Biker in Another World

Book 1 Preacher, a biker with a dark past, is unexpectedly thrust into an alternate world while on a nostalgic journey down Route 66. Once a gunrunner and outlaw, Preacher turned his life around after a spiritual awakening in prison, becoming a wandering preacher to his biker community. However, his newfound path takes an extraordinary turn when a mysterious flash of light transports him—and his beloved motorcycle—to a war-torn medieval kingdom. Summoned by desperate mages seeking a hero to save their kingdom from the demi-humans, Preacher discovers a world rife with magic, slavery, and conflict. His arrival was meant to summon a warrior of legend, but Preacher—a 40-year-old ex-con—must now rise to the challenge. Equipped with unparalleled magical affinities and skills enhanced by the kingdom's healers, he quickly proves his strength and wit to skeptical allies and foes alike. As Preacher navigates his new reality, he encounters Iris, a fox demi-human enslaved by the kingdom. Touched by her plight, he frees her, forming an unbreakable bond through a ritual of ancient prophecy. Together, they face challenges of loyalty, prejudice, and the looming threat of a corrupt kingdom advisor plotting to use Preacher for dark purposes. Combining his biker tenacity, earthly wisdom, and newfound magical prowess, Preacher sets out on a path to not only survive but to reshape the war and bring justice to this fractured world. But can a man shaped by Earth's harsh realities bring peace to a world teetering on the edge of chaos? This action-packed, genre-blending tale of redemption, faith, and courage sets the stage for an unforgettable adventure.
