Our story up to now: An intruder disturbs the beds of sleeping purple coral in his realm and Surfer Dude's only clue is a neon pink dive fin, size 5 1/2 M, stamped with the name "Dr. A. F. Wright" that the thief left beind when she fled. Now, on the night of his brother Cloud Boy's big ball, a raging headache sends Surfer Dude to the Sky Palace Spa Bay, seeking relief from the nymph-nurse.
Where he meets Mia.
“Name," the woman said, without looking up from her computer screens and the research materials spread before her across the Sky Palace Spa Bay reception desk.
"Pierce Cronoson.”
That got her attention. Ruling the oceans and rivers of New Mycenae definitely had its perks and bennies, Pierce thought.
"Oh!" The woman started, her gaze zeroing in on him like an omega ray just before a flurry of clumsy activity sent half her print-outs and discs sailing to the floor.

Love the way you wrote this. She wouldn't have given him the time of day until she knew who he was, so true to life. Name recognition really is everything!
I like the name Pierce. I want to know what happens after she gets the fluster under control :)
Love the woman's reaction! Can't wait to read more.
Love this story!
Heh. Could easily see the "flurry of clumsy activity!"
Pierce Cronoson--LOVE this name--so strong and SEXY! Great snippet, as always! :)
You rock!! Great descriptions. I have give up on Blogger letting me use my account to post.
Poor Mia! Hope she deflates his ego a bit, lol. Loved this snippet!
Hehe that's a great reaction.
And he has quite a surname
Love how she pays him no attention til she hears his name, that tells you a lot about who he is...
LOL love the spin on Pierce's name. Awesome!
Always enjoy your six sunday snippets, Taryn... always so descriptive and enticing! Surfer Dude needs to be in my eReader so I can read the whole story :)
I'm with everyone else. He has a great name! And that is a fun snippet.
His name's supposed to be sort of an updated reflection of the trident. Since he's a futuristic version of Poseidon.
Very creative. Nice six.
Great six!
Nice job.
he sure got the woman flustered...
The disadvantage to fame and power is that everyone makes a mess when they find out who you are... Nicely done.
LOL - I like it. Ruling DOES have its benefits...
Amazing name for your hero! And lol at how she jumped to attention when he mentions who he is. :)
Lol, love how that got her attention!
Perks and bennies indeed! So happy to get to read more of this.
I really enjoy this one whenever you post from it! Great six!
Love the names and this story. Would love to see more from Surfer Dude. :)
I remember this scene very well. Good luck with the re-working.
I love his last name and the hint of Greek mythology there.
Ha! Great six!
Poor gal now has to pick up all those print-outs and discs. Love the play on words. Made me think of Pierce Brosnan...gorgeous man.
i love surfer dudes. and that picture is great!
Huh, she gets flustered easily! I wonder how she'll recover and try to have a conversation. Great snippet. This story is very interesting!
Ah, ha! So that's Surfer Dude's name. I think I'd get flustered around him, too. :)
Awesome name! Love her reaction. That photo held my attention as well. ;)
LOL Apparently Surfer Dude's a big deal. That photo is fricking awesome. Love it.
Hi Taryn - Interesting six as usual.
Now that is an interesting last name. Sounds like she was thinking the same thing.
nouttica <-Fitting captcha for this post. :)
Good, we're back to Surfer Dude. But I'm not sure if I like this or the historical better. Toss up. Guess I'll just have to buy both.
Love her reaction when he introduces himself.
You have to know more. Good job
'Membership' in the elite has its privileges. :)
Bit arrogant, ain't he? Wonder if that'll come back to bite him in the ass. I am intrigued!
I love a half naked man and the ocean. Can't wait for more. Thank-you.
Heh. This is great! :)
Ha, that will teach her!
Very cute - and how truly portrayed.
I hate it when people do that! Just bark an order without looking up, smiling or saying please. Glad he got her attention!
