Ice.  Snow.  Eternal winter, as far as the eye can see.
        It comes, it goes.
     New warmth.  New life.  Life, from out of the Sea, fills a world.
     The Ice Ages, filling a Continent bigger than Asia, have come to an end.  Life, having risen from the Sea, fills a world like never before.
     Bizarre Trees fill lush Forests.  Amphibians like salamander crocodiles as big as a football player slip easily between water and land.
     Air-breathing Fish as big as a basketball player lurk at the edge of the water like crocodiles, wary of swamp beasts that would swallow them in one gulp, right from the edge.
     Still more fantastic beasts are out there, if you know how to look for them.

     This world is real, and it is ours.
     This is our world, before the Dinosaurs.

     For 160 million years, these and many other beasts roamed the Earth, until 200 million years ago a catastrophe of unimaginable perportions allows an upstart group, the Dinosaurs, to take over.
     It was the first great age of land life, a mere 50 million years after Fish with jaws first became common in the Sea and Rivers.
        It was what I call the Age of Pangaea.

          And stay tuned.  There's more, much more.

     Ever wanted to fly, through a world of enchanted forests and mysterious mansions?
     Ever wanted to see the REAL Enchanted Forests, get to know every Tree, Trees beyond imagining?
     Or visit the very real Age BEFORE the Dinosaurs, where strange bisonlike beasts with tusks and parrotlike beaks roam and great frog crocodiles lurk in the water?
     I do.
     That's why I wrote these worlds into books, from dreams or real life, and am giving them away- for free.
     To you.
     In text (.txt) files, to download and distribute to anyone.

     My (pen) name is David S. Annderson, with 2 n's, and my site is sites.google.com/sites/davidannfreestories.com, or just google 'davidannfreestories', all one word.
     And welcome!  Do have fun.
        For I have!
     When I was a kid, me and my friends would be in our own world, driven by wild dreams.  My Grandpa would show us the real Forest, the Enchanted Forest, just outside his house- and on the edge of a town on the edge of the city, a magical place hiding out there and surrounding us.  We could see wonder everywhere.
     I wanted the rest of you to experience all that, so I began writing.
         Then the dreams came.
     I have always had fantastic dreams- more to the point, I often REMEMBER them, vividly.  But these dreams were just BEGGING to be told.  With a lot of practice and multiple drafts on my first novel, I became better and better- just like you will, if you choose to.  Hopefully I am good enough to take you through something of what I experienced!
     And I daydreamed of real worlds, far off or long ago- and yet still a very real part of our own world.
        Especially those Forests and Age before the Dinosaurs which I told you about.
     I don't know what else to say about what it's like to write my stories, but I will take you through the things I have wrote about, one by one.
            And don't forget to look for the wonder and magic all around you, for it's there- it's there!
