I was not long 20 and wondering what I was going to do. Mum was making noises about her and dad definitely moving to Australia for a better quality of life as soon as they could. All the were waiting for was all the loose ends to be tied up. My eldest sister Ellen had married an Australian who was working over here and when he went back she went with him. Th...
THE EARLY YEARS. This is a spin off story from The Singer. In that particular series I introduced a female pastoral worker named Petra who comes out at the end of the story. I promised to tell her story because it was an interesting tale. It's a little long so I've chopped it into three parts. It's set in Melbourne, Australia. There's been a lot of talk ab...
"Jesse, wait!" Kate cried, running out of Barley's Restaurant. "Wait, Jesse! Please!" "Forget it Kate", Jesse yelled angrily over her shoulder. "I have nothing to say to you." Kate caught up, grabbing Jesse's arm, tugging her to a stop. "Look, I'm sorry", she said. "I know what I did was wrong, but..." "I said forget it!" Jesse snapped. She whirled around...
Thank-you for taking the time to read yet another one of my stories! This idea was born of memories and of now having lots of extra time to write. It is another one that I planned to be one and done, but these characters want their whole stories told, so there will be more! As always please favorite, rate, comment, and send me some feedback. I love hea...
Once I arrived in Mexico, I was asked to stay on the plane by one of the flight attendants. I sat in my seat until the whole plane cleared out, from there a gentleman in a black suit boarded the plane and said the key words only I would know, "Captain America awaits for you in his car." My biological father was known as Captain America because of his striki...
PROLOGUE (Friday, 18th February 2000) Heather had been looking forward to Marcia's party for weeks. According to all predictions, it was going to be wild. Legend had it that Marcia's parties were always wild. The stories told by past attendees could be positively toe-curling. Apparently her shindigs set off as raunchy and steadily progressed to debauched....
This story, as the title suggests, is a sequel to 'The Sun on My Skin Ch. 1', though, I have tried to ensure that can be read on its own, even if (not surprisingly) I think you'll understand Tina a little more if you read Part 1 first. To be fair to you, dear reader, I should warn that, though I didn't set out to do so, it has become a long story. I should...
Hello friend, and welcome to Chapter Two of my series, Wheels In Motion. If you haven't read Chapter One yet, that's going to be a problem for you here. Fortunately, you have the power to go fix that right now! Go ahead, I'll be here waiting when you get back. Done? Okay, carry on! Special thanks to my editor, AwkwardMD, and my beta-readers Salandar and Ar...
What is reality? What is fiction? Isn't all writing ultimately autobiographical? At least, shouldn't good writing seem that way? In the end, does it matter as long as it's a good story? My wife and I made love this morning, and afterward she brought me a cup of coffee in bed. (Have I ever mentioned that she is wonderful?) While we snuggled together,...
Dilemma is a Greek word meaning a problem which offers two possibilities neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable. Another way that I've seen this being put to words is: "finding oneself impaled upon the horns of a dilemma". This phrase directly refers to the horns of a bull where both are equally sharp, uncomfortable and dangerous. Dilemma...
