I wanted to play with the "gottcha" vibe that is so near and dear to the hearts of the Loving Wives set. It seems to me that the jealousy and outrage that stems from the protagonist discovering that the wife is cheating with her boss/co-worker/his brother/best friend/a neighbor/a biker gang/an infantry platoon/the family dog/or all of the above is the cath...
Several of you have asked me to write another adventure involving the folks from "The First Deadly Sin." When one of you is Rick at rkv330's (aka Bluedevil) a story gets written. This is his general idea and it's brilliant as usual. I like to put some of my own background into these things. So please keep in mind that none of these exploits are made up. They...
"Keep him under two minutes today, okay, Lance?" "I'll try," he told her with a smile. "He has a mind of his own sometimes and a will of his own all the time." "That's what I'm paying you to control!" she said harshly in no uncertain terms. "I'm taking a helluva chance on you. Everyone I know says I'm crazy. But after 45 years of being around horses, I can...
"And the next bowman to shoot at the butt is William Fletcher, who came ninth and fifth in the first and second rounds. Please show him your encouragement, one and all."

This is a rather lengthy piece and takes a fair amount of time to get into. All characters are above 18 at all times. Teacher's Pet "All right, time's up. Turn in your tests." The four high school seniors who were taking my college credit course in American history had very diverse reactions. The test was a ball buster that wasn't meant to be completed wi...
This is an old story of mine, but I hope you enjoy it. ***** Chapter 1 Billy was in deep trouble. He was used to trouble, of course. It followed him around like a bad smell. But this was different. He breathed deeply and slowly, trying to get his heartbeat back to something approaching normal. The adrenaline streaming through his veins made that next to i...

My husband and I were three days into our holiday; it was a bright sunny Monday morning and we were cycling along the narrow towpath at the edge of a canal. As we were both out of work, to say we were short of money would be an understatement. We had thirty-five pounds between us, and that was to buy everything we needed for the whole two weeks. We were both...
