Season of the Wolf Part one: Running With the Pack Chapter 1 "Grace, you can't be serious." My roommate glares at the cardboard box I've been packing for the last hour as if its public enemy number one. Impatient with my non-response she huffs and taps a manicured nail against her perfectly tanned forearm. "I mean, have you really thought this through?"...
THE END OF FEAR A BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD NOVEL Disclaimer: I do not own the fandom of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I make no money on this work of fiction.

Philip Johnson Chapter One Jim leaned over the table and in a near whisper said, "Hey Bro, Alexis Reinhart just came into the restaurant," and that's all it took for him to put on his bright business smile, and his wife Brook looked toward the front of the restaurant.

Mindy was already home when I dragged myself through the door at seven. The minute she saw me, her face dropped and then brightened back up a little. "So how did it go today? You don't look like things went very well." "I don't know Mindy; the world out here just doesn't seem to be working like it should. My first interview was good. I thought I made a goo...
Author's note: While writing my new sequel 'Housecat', I read through one of my oldest stories 'Splashdown' in order to refresh my memory concerning the events and characters.

This is a fairly long story, but I hope you'll find it worth your time. And I wanted you to know that the "epilog" was written by a very close friend of mine, Lilsheba, who is an excellent author and also contributes to this list. ---------------------------- "Hey Bill, get your ass in here a minute!" I hear her holler as I walk by the door to her offic...
