Derek was my former boss at the bank where I worked as a teller. He was Relationship Manager and Vice-President of Royal Family Bank. He owned half of the bank's stock. He was thirty years my senior. I was 25 and he was 55 when we got married. Ours was a whirlwind courtship and despite our age difference when he proposed to me, I said "Yes" right away. We g...
When winter fell into spring in the year 1137, I was in Bordeaux—an unwilling ward of the Archbishop while my father went on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Bordeaux was a thoroughly unimpressive metropolis. My sister Petronilla—two years younger than me at sixteen—and I spent our days in languorous confinement in the Archbishop's chambers, reading, si...

Whenever I read, I keep a pencil handy and I underline words that I don't know and dog ear the page so that I can go back and look them up in the dictionary. I have always been interested in etymology and even took Latin for three years. I hope that these words can help all of us in our writings. Be sure to check out your dictionary for additional usages of...

The patch was good, the suite was running, and the payroll would be through on time. He glanced across at the next terminal. Sue was leaning back in her chair, long legs stretched out, eyes closed. He took a moment to admi...
This is the conclusion of my last story. (If you haven't read A Tale of Two Grannies, this won't make sense to you, it is not a stand-alone story) I've had a few comments as to the ending.
