Author's Note: Hey, guys! This is my first submission on the website (or any, really). It's going to be a long, multi-chaptered story about two kids falling in love. I know. Original, right? Anyhoo, just letting you know now, that it is one of those annoying stories where the sexy stuff doesn't happen until later on, so... just warning you now. Thanks for re...
Obviously, step one in writing a novel, get an idea. Authors get the question all the time: "How do you come up with your ideas?" Assuming you're not one, I can answer that: Formal viewpoint. Or a functional mentality. For example, Forbes Magazine had a front page cover about how al-Qaeda was losing money, and it suggested that Osama needed a new business...
On Thursday afternoon a transformer blew at work and shut the whole factory down. It was only about 2 in the afternoon, so when they sent us home I decided to drop in on my friend Rich. He worked the midnight-8am shift at the Toyota plant, so he slept until midafternoon most days. We would occasionally get together after work, and I'd have a beer or two whil...
"I live a life of sin," I whispered to myself as I sat on the third floor of the Carleton University library, the supposed quiet floor. I've been coming to this spot long before I became a vampire. For ages it was my refuge. Indeed, from 2008 to 2012, I was a student at this very school. I earned a bachelor's degree in Criminology from Carleton University. F...
"Pst... Morgan, you awake? C'mon it's time..." Delilah knocked gently on the door to her roommate's private bedroom. Morgan had drifted off to sleep not an hour earlier in another small puddle of sin. It was only after Delilah tried to open the door that Morgan began to hear her subtle reminder of her promise to help. She scooted out of bed and pushed up ag...
This story began when Jake walked into a local pub on a Friday evening after a long week's work and happened to take a stool at the bar next to Suz. Suz attempted conversation with Jake, but he was rude and blew it. Michele, who was tending bar, nudged Jake to apologize and try talking with Suz. Jake did and one thing led to another and another led to Suz' g...
"Wow the houses here are just so pretty," Lisa breathed as she set down her suitcases into the new house- the new house they were moving into. "Your friend Mark lives just down the road too," Andrea said nonchalantly. Andrea was her mom but being the age she was and the looks she had, she preferred to be called Andrea instead of Mom. She had said that it ma...
My stomach grumbled, and I wondered why the limo hadn't arrived. I looked out the window once more. "You should sit and rest, Evaline. You are not getting the right nutrition, or water. A lack of rest could only hurt." "I'm fine," I said. "It's not the first time I've been hungry." "Yes, but your baby has not been hungry." I laughed. "I don't have a bab...
Lilly I entered the lab, head down, and made my way over to my assigned lab table. My partner was already there. "Lilly! How are you?" Jerry greeted me, grinning and waving flamboyantly. I grimaced. "I've been better." Jerry's smile instantly vanished. "What's wrong?" I sighed. No way in hell could I tell him about the demon. No pun intended. "My da...
Bliss stared at Chal with helpless eyes. She had no hope that he would be able to save her, not twice, not with a man as evil and powerful as Garret. The man had placed offers with her previous Master. He'd been allowed her company and she shuddered in terror at the thought of being with him now. But Chal was strong and he took care of his own. For some re...
