a true story It was one of the warmer Augusts here in Southern California that I can remember. My lovely wife and I were both eager to escape from our jobs and head off for a long over due vacation in the mountains. The mountains were where we felt like we belonged.

They stared blankly out upon the world without really se...

As always, I will appreciate any feedback, good or bad. Enjoy! *** James made one last adjustment to his tie while looking in the mirror. He grabbed his keys from the dresser and turned t...
"Deepthi, honey, I think you're way overthinking this, but if you really want me to, I can call him up and cancel the dinner. Seriously, it's no big deal either way." I called to my wife through the door to her walk-in closet. "I know, honey... I'm being too much right now, really. Of course he can come for the weekend. He's your friend, after all." My beau...

But now I have more free time to write more and post chapters more often. So look out for the 4th chapter of A Captured Heart very soon, and expect a preview of a new story, I am working on that center's around bullying. And...
