Bar Pickup: Carol

By Xavier Carter

There is nothing more I enjoy, than going to a bar, a tavern or a pub, whatever you call them and scoping out the hotties that gather there. I am never disappointed, but I am constantly amazed at what, who I find.

I mingle in the crowd, trying to find that group, a gaggle if you will, of women who are on a ladies night out. Then I try to figure which one is ripe for the picking, who will be the one to leave with someone, maybe with me. Sometimes, it’s the quiet one, other times, it’s the loud rowdy one. No matter who it is, I can usually pick the one who will not leave alone.

Sometimes, the married ones are most likely...to be picked up. And most of the time, it’s not their husbands they leave with. Sometimes, on more occasion than you would think, it’s their husbands who have set them up...

...and sometimes I find that single most spectacular woman, who for reasons of her own is on the prowl and picks me up.

Xavier Carter

When Xavier was an adolescent, he devoured books in the science fiction genre. All types of science fiction. From the future military novels and shorts stories by David Drake, Andrew & William Keith and Keith Laumer, to the geopolitical novels of Mack Reynolds and Gordon R. Dickson, he liked them all. Fantasy stories on the other hand did not quite have an appeal for him in fact the only fantasy type series Xavier read were the Pern novels by Anne McCaffrey.By far Xavier's favorite authors were Robert A. Heinlein, Gordon R. Dickson, Christopher Anvil and Fred Saberhagen. From Fred Saberhagen’s Berserker series to Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers, he fell in love with military sci-fi. He also thoroughly enjoyed Gordon R. Dickson’s Dorsai series where the future of combat in the universe is in the hands of mercenaries.Stories of cataclysmic destruction of the world we know today fascinated him also. Near future history sci-fi, post apocalyptic sci-fi. How the human spirit would cope dealing with a situation completely foreign to them.Another aspect of sci-fi Xavier found fascinating was the prospect of time travel or inter-dimensional travel. What would happen if you suddenly found yourself in another time? What would you do? How would you react? What if...Xavier first started writing in 1989, after finding himself laid off from his first full time job after graduating. During that time, he started three different novellas’, all of which have been lost due to a disk malfunction. After a long hiatus, he started again in late 2004. His first efforts were not up to his own standards for publication. Xavier has since reworked some of them and published them on web sites where they were well received. This has made him bold enough to attempt to publish via an eBooks publisher.Links:Other:[e-mail]
