I'm sorry for the delay. A house full of sick people has made writing and editing a chaotic experience to say the least. Lucien stood in the darkness a skilled sentential able to mask his existence so well, even someone as talented as Caydn wasn't able to sense his presence. He'd restrained himself from acting as a voyeur. The sounds and breathing he'd he...
Chapter 8 Trial Day 6 These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' Isaiah 29:13, Mark 7:6-7 Cynthia Mayotte's death dominated the news media. Speculation was rife that there was a connection between her death and the case in progress. Much was made of the f...
"As a reminder, the church's summer picnic and soccer game will take place at Goodacre Park at 3 pm tomorrow," said Pastor Samson with a smile. "And now, I have one more very special announcement to make." I shifted with anticipation in my pew, knowing what was to come next, but still a little nervous.

As Christian rode on the train to his Uncle Demetri's farm, he gazed at the landscape passing by and tried to imagine what the next four months of his life were going to be like. Uncle Demetri technically wasn't his uncle at all; rather, he was the brother of his newly acquired step-father and hence not connected to Christian by blood at all. However, out of...
Prologue. The vampire took a step back snarling fiercely. His confident demeanour was long gone. Red eyes swivelled franticly in his sockets. He was afraid; he could already feel the effects of the sun. Christian Valentine stood before him like a man etched in granite. Not even the gentle breeze could ruffle his long golden hair tied back with a leather t...
Arab men hate seeing Arab women with non-Arab males, and these fuckers are racist as hell even though they will deny it until kingdom come. So I know when they see me with my new Haitian-Canadian lover Marcel, they want to tear their eyes out. Makes me shudder with pleasure just thinking about their reaction. The fact that Marcel is a proud Christian with a...
Standing over the body of Prince Khaled, General Abel raised his head to the heavens, arms wide and howled a cry of triumph which reverberated throughout the palace. Although not a large man, General Khaled had about him an air of quiet authority which hinted at ferocious inner strength. Five feet nine inches tall, slender and dark-skinned, clad in a suit of...
Amber never really thought of herself as the type who would attract hot men; at twenty seven, she's married, has a child and is a little bit overweight. But nonetheless, Christian constantly flirted with her. These little occurrences weren't thought of as anything major, just a little workplace silliness. After all, he was married and even if he was to cheat...
Notes: This is the first part of a five part series called SUMMER SINS. Each part will have 'Purple' in the title. It takes place three weeks after the 'Green' stories of Summer Secrets. You don't necessarily need to read Blue or Green to enjoy Purple, though if you do enjoy it, you might want to go back to the beginning. If this story seems familiar to y...
PART TWO - (11 months earlier) Ugh! In her opinion, one of the worst sounds in the world has to be that damned alarm going off every weekday morning at 7am. Even though she was usually half-awake anyway by that time, to Andrea the obnoxious sound just served as a rude reminder that another mundane day was about to begin. Fumbling to turn the alarm off, she...
