It was 4 o' clock in the afternoon. The pub was empty except for a handful of people. I was polishing glasses when a beautiful woman walked in and sat in the stool front of me. She had a slender figure and chocolate brown hair with ice blue eyes and luscious red lips. I could tell she was sad and had just been crying because her cheeks were kind of pink, so...
If you ever have the opportunity to be married on the north shore of Hawaii's Oahu Island, to a beautiful woman, I highly recommend it. Julia and I had been engaged a year before being married, and dated for 2 years before that. During those three years we've had some arguments, like every couple, but oddly, never about the details of our wedding. There'...
Dear Reader, The fact that you're seeing these words means that I can count you as one of my readers, so let me take this opportunity to say, "Thank You." We writers write because we have to, because the story ideas bounce around in our heads until they begin to coalesce and the characters start talking to each other and finally we've got to get them out of...
With apologies to Jane Austen! Chapter XXII Wedding Bells Three weeks later the three weddings took place at a common ceremony at the Bennet's parish church, after which the happy couples and their guests repaired to Netherfield for the wedding breakfast. Mrs. Bennet's joy was unbounded the more so because of the fact that she had missed her period and w...
Dear Paulette, The waves are rolling in today - it's grey but warm. A bit of rain last night but hardly enough to break the drought. I walked back through the woods yesterday – barefoot – and the soil felt unsurprisingly desiccated. Unusual for springtime here. It is difficult to complain about drought to someone in Southern California. Particularly with t...
Originally this was to be the conclusion of the Megan and Kyle story arc and the launch of a new series. It is written from a different viewpoint, and all the stories were to take place in the same location, a series of beach houses. At this point, I view the new series sort of like a failed pilot for a TV show. An interesting idea that I may return to somed...
(See Ozark Morning) Prior to moving to the Ozarks, I guess, long ago, I had thought of Ozark girls as being dressed in Daisy Dukes, barefoot and pregnant. Not that a girl could wear Daisy Dukes while pregnant. Actually, I thought more in terms of the outfit worn by Lil Dudette, the sex symbol of the Phoenix Rodeo. Of course, Lil Dudette wore cowboy (cowgirl...
Matt was perfect: the cliché tall, dark, and handsome type, with a winning smile and a great sense of humor. It didn't hurt that his cock was huge. It wasn't long before Ruth let the words "I love you" slip out of her mouth, but to her delight, Matt said he felt the same way. Their romance flourished, and by the time they graduated college, they were plannin...
Jen Carfagno wears a lot of wrap dresses on air. I don't know if this is something the folks at TWC choose for her, or she just likes them. I know I love seeing her in them, as they show her off well. One early morning in late August, I turned on The Weather Channel to see my neighbor Jen at the big wall they now have in the studio, looking at several parts...
Chapter 6: Friends One afternoon around Judith's eighth month she had some of her new friends over. She had me busy serving the drinks and canapés I had made, but I overheard them talking. "It sounds like the ideal arrangement, dear," one said enviously. "It is," Judith said. "I keep David home to look after the house while I look after my clients during t...
