A change of pace from my normal fare. Hopefully you enjoy this more conventional romantic story. This came about from a reimagining of the way my wife and I met. Hopefully you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing. --- I was super eager to get off to college and away from my parents. But once I was there though, I was intimidated by the size of it all....
Part 1: Hunter and Hunted --- The sun rose over the ancient forest, its warm, dappled light revealing a small herd of deer gathered in a clearing. Quietly they grazed in the midst of the towering trees of their subtropical home. Quiet they were, but not off guard. Their ears were ever raised, alert for the slightest abnormal sound, their eyes scanning, an...
Note: All persons in this novel are fictitious. If you are looking for a great deal of explicit sexual activity, this story is not for you.

A note from the author: Once upon a time I lived in France, an interlude that gave me a special appreciation of many things French, including an admiration of French attitudes toward love and sex. Where else in the world can one find people who spend hours arguing about the fundamental nature of eroticism? So here is a French story, a story of some people in...
... Continuing on from the previous chapter ... Chapter 18 North Dakota Bismarck is a pleasant little city and the state capital of North Dakota. I found myself surprised at how hilly the environment was, particularly near the Missouri River that cut through the city. I'd been on some pretty flat land getting there.
