"For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace." - Romans 6:14 "A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward." - George R.R. Martin * "I wish to offer myself up to you, to reconcile our past, to atone for what I'd done; to you." Hannah Ansley was stunned still the i...
It was charity season. Every year around this time my local community got businesses, churches, and community groups to throw various events for charity. Softball and basketball tourneys, a golfing event, auctions, dinners, all that stuff. Oh, and the theater production. That was my favorite. The local community theater always put on play over the last weeke...
CHAPTER 1 The years had been kind to Lee Peach. He lived outdoors a lot, being big into boating, and the fierce Australian sun had bleached the top of his natural blond hair platinum, contrasting with the natural darkening blond beneath that, leaving him with mix of shades that women -- including wife Claire -- found very attractive. He wore it collar-lengt...
I started this one thinking I would build on a vignette from "Gunny" with Winona Gustophsen as the main character but the more I wrote into it the more I was reminded of the protagonist, Dave, and the story needed to be his instead of the curious woman named Winona. She still has a story to tell but the unfolding of it will have to be on her timeline rather...
I opened the drawer of my desk and for the umpteenth time glanced at the cut out ad from the Chicago Reader. The short personal ad had been burning my mind for weeks and I was almost certain that by now I would be too late responding to it. Not that I thought I had much chance in the first place. Ads like that probably got thousands of responses and to make...
By way of introduction, I live in a Midwestern city. My town has a very conservative reputation, which is justified in some respects. More broadly, however, I would characterize the prevailing attitude as benign indifference. Whatever consenting adults get up to among themselves is ok so long as it is not in our face. On a more personal level, I am 50 and a...
I have always enjoyed the attention I get from men when I wear white bikinis, particularly when they get wet. The dark shadow of my nipples and pubes always seams to attract the eyes of any virile male. All my swim suits are white; I tell everyone that I wear white to show off my tan. Barry, my husband, must like them because he buys me new white swim wear...
My most memorable sexual experience happened when I was just out of high school and spending summer with some of my friends camping. Most of us were going to different colleges, and we knew that summer would be the last time we would see each other for years to come. Perhaps that's why my friends did what they did. All throughout high school I had a sexual...
Coming back to the office on a Wednesday, when her plan had been not to return until Monday, was not too unusual. When things went critical it was understood that it didn't matter where you were or what you were doing, you got yourself into the office, it was why the job was so well paid, and the bonuses were so good. Andy her deputy was right, this was a bi...
Well, it's almost done. I hope you all enjoyed my Zombies. And I hope they weren't too corny. Take care and let me know what you think! * * * * A New Member of the Family Chapter Seventeen The hallway was empty. It wasn't just empty, it seemed down right desolate. Angel spun down the hall, walking carefully and covering every angle that she could. This...
