A week later, and it was time for the next appointment. Jack had not had the opportunity to follow-up on the idea of asking Lily out. He'd been out of town with a client, or in meetings. Lily knew he was coming back, and had no intention of simply chasing him. The truth was, she had other plans, plans that went back to an unspoken fantasy that she'd had, and...
Chapter One Dutch & Doctor Lamouerux This is a repost of my most successful novel to date, originally written in 2002 and reedited in late 2010. It is the story of a couple, Dutch and Rosa; a daughter, Kathy, and their friends who, over time combine and become the Gathering. I think it turned out rather well . . . do you? It was late afternoon under a...
The Royal Valentine's Day Ball was tomorrow and though I was expected to attend, the doctor had visited the night before and advised my husband it might not be wise for me to go. I ran my hands over my full, swollen breasts and rounded tummy. My second baby was due any day, and a night of dancing might be too strenuous, the doctor felt. Frankly, I didn't eve...
"She's really nice. We met her this weekend at the picnic. Her brother is on the planning committee with Tim." I continued to read the e-mail message from my sister, noting the phone number and name, Kristen. Apparently, she had just moved back to Chicago from Baltimore, where she lived for a couple of years. Every once in a while, I would find one of thes...
You may want to read the first chapter before continuing on. DG * I talked with Moose for a week and he told me a lot about his life and hinted about a number of missing persons and murder victims. Mike Keffer told me his boss wasn't satisfied with the results I was getting. "Well you go tell the AG if he wants to find someone else I'll step aside. I'm...
"I thought I might find you here," he said, popping his head around the door. "We have pegged them with irony. They are to pay for a mercenary expeditionary force to go in and take control of the country. Then to stay and train a new army for you, there's sweet justice in that." His glee was overflowing, giving him an unnatural presence. "Come, this calls...
Author's Note: Thanks for all the support and positive reviews you guys gave for my story. It was my first story and I didn't really think about writing chapters for it so I kept it a bit short. But now I decided to add on to the story, give some more back ground, some character development, and more about the world so it's a bit of a longer read but hopeful...
Chapter 2 – The Touch of Rain Scarlet lifted the spoon to her mouth, chewed on the cereal, and listened to her heartbeat in her head. The dawn had broken to no great effect, the light outside had gone merely from non-existent to a hard grey. Scarlet had awoken, to her dismay and surprise, as horny as the night before; despite having slept in a bed thoroughl...
Diamond Gazongas stood in front of the imposing stonework of the mansion and paused with her hands on her hips, looking up at the edifice. It seemed so... British. She couldn't claim to be interested all that much in the architecture, though it did of course have residual old world appeal and authenticity which appealed to her young American sensibility. Non...
Ron wiped the grime from his face as he watched the place burn. The heat was too intensely familiar. It had taken him several, agonizing days to recover from the change. The Rousseau had made sure to graze him slightly instead of the usual blood letting of a quick transformation. The moment Rousseau went away, Stella had abandoned the pack. There was no lead...
