So... here it is... a little later than I anticipated but here nonetheless! It's be a hot minute, right? I've had an exceptionally busy few years. I began a career in a completely new industry and it's been an experience! On top of this, I'm also starting my second year of a full time, long distance, degree AND I play as much rugby as time (and COVID) will...
Chapter 1 My story is one of dismay born of a shocked heart and mind, and who knows what of my soul, if such there is. Doubting was something new to me, specifically about my church beliefs. I had gone to church faithfully since shortly after I was born, my parents being faithful Christians, and attending the same church for many years. It was a good chur...
Carpe diem - Book 2 Prologue -- Anne-Marie's story As a sensitive girl, her mother's drilling on the social graces had been seen as a criticism of her very nature. In order to please her, Anne-Marie had buried her feelings. She had played the role required of her, been the perfect little society girl, but, deep down, she had never been happy. This wasn't h...
The germ of the idea for this began when I read a story by another author on Lit that was set at Burning Man. Having been to over five Burns, to me that story felt more like someone writing about rumors and hearsay. Admittedly, everyone experiences Burning Man in a different way, so maybe that was somebody's. If so, I'm glad it wasn't mine or I wouldn't have...
***** This is one of the kind of chapter that I usually dread writing. You get a bunch of relative strangers together in something where there are things going on and you need to find a way to get things said and out of the way. This time, I just gave in to the notion that things don't happen with any synchronicity between a lot of folks concurrently. Ther...

Chapter 1 Lanie was taken away from me; My tears had threatened to be eternal. How could they not? Lanie was everything to me: counselor when that was my greatest need; almost instant lover; savior; then my wife, my whole life. Some too rich, too indulged idiot who thought nothing and no one should be deprived to him just couldn't take no to his advances a...
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...
Hi readers! I decided to take a break from my agent series for a while and write a standalone story with new characters.

With love, YoursTruly101 ***** This we'll defend. That was it, tha...
This is my long-awaited sequel to "Remember This Moment Forever" which takes place ten years after the original story. What was originally intended to be one long story eventually grew so large that I decided to split it into four parts with a new story being posted at the end of each summer month (beginning with Part One in May and ending with Part Four in...
