AcknowledgementsElectricBlue66 approached me for advice about one of his stories and I was happy to help. What I didn't expect was to fall in love with one of his characters. With his kind permission, encouragement and sensitive editing, I've been able to write again after a very long time, using his character for my inspiration. It's been a joy, and I hope...
"Cookies & Cream" Chapter One: "Cherry" It was a summer we would never forget. It was a time when love is truly blind and the heat turned up tremendously. That heartfelt camp with an ice cream parlor and diner in the center of it all was magical to me. My friends and I will never forget this place. It all started on Memorial Weekend, two weeks after...
I'm honored that blackrandl1958 invited me to participate in the Siren's Song collection. I appreciate her kindness. This story would be equally at home in Romance or Sci-Fi. I thought it might be slightly more appropriate here, but it's half a dozen of one, six of the other. Siobhan is an Irish name that is pronounced Shivahn. * * * * * Sea lion woman,...
*** This has been something I've been working on for a while. I enjoy drawing only for fun. I did the drawings alternately as I wrote the story and I found one activity inspired the other. As always, views are great, votes are interesting, but comments, criticisms and suggestions are golden.*** * * * * * 2:11 a.m. The obnoxious electronic ring of the ph...
Barbara's text message came across my cell phone just as I was getting ready to leave work. It said, "Don't forget about the wine tasting tonight." "Damn," I said out loud. I had indeed completely forgotten about it. I'd learned about it a few weeks earlier when we were both in our kitchen at home on our computers. I was in the middle of doing something...
Author's note: G'day all, First of all an apology. I am still in the middle of writing Offspring. So far I have published 70,000 words. I need a bit of a break. Just a few days will do, other things are demanding my attention. To make the wait more bearable I am publishing this story. It is complete and runs into 120,000 words. This time I'll put up a fe...
Romance. A feeling of mystery? The sense of excitement? The promise of love? Survey a thousand people and ask what romance means to them and you'll hear a thousand different similes. Is romance a medieval tale based on legend? Chivalric love and adventure, ethereal or the supernatural? Perhaps a prose narrative treating imaginary characters involved in even...
Author's Note: Any and all persons engaging in any sexual activity are at least eighteen years of age. As always, I need to thank, Stylus and Madison, my cool editors – for their endless patience (I keep on making the same mistakes. I never learn). $$$$$$$$$$$$ Loneliness is a hole. It swallows everything until nothing matters. What does it matter if you...
(This is a long section, but we are nearing the end. There is a Chapter 5 to follow shortly that concludes our education. I appreciate your attention to the story so far.) The next few weeks are busy at the garage. My involvement with work helps to take my mind from completely dwelling on the web of relationships I find myself in. I like things simple....
Waking the next day brought the flood of pleasant reminders of the previous night. Next to me were Lauren and Jamie, cuddled together in the spoon position. It was obvious this wasn't the first time the ladies had spent the night together. That thought followed me to the spare bathroom for my morning duties and then into the kitchen to make coffee. Findi...
