I was nervous when I pulled into her driveway. Lets be honest, I was nervous the whole ride over. I mean, who wouldn't be. I had confessed one of my deepest secrets to one of my best friends and was now going to hang out with her face to face. It was obviously going to come up in conversation at some point. Even the idea of talking about it with her gave m...

Our family seemed to grow every year. My parents had ten children: four boys, and six girls. Being the eldest of the six girls, I was always in charge of the baking.

Four hours later Jack was in Cassia's room, reluctantly. She'd pointed out they only had tonight as he was involved in Open Day aboard the new ferry with his mother tomorrow and she and his mother and her father would fly to Wellington that evening and three days later begin their South Island tour before flying out of Christchurch for Australia the followin...
Chapter One Gone Crazy Would nothing ever be the same again? The answer was no! Grimly, I glanced away from the mile-long line of people waiting for a handout of food from the FEMA wagons. Once again I made myself the promise that I would not be one of those people. I hurried on, but as usual, my appearance in town attracted notice, because I always brou...
I'm the luckiest man alive. Yes sir! I've been married to Pamela for ten years, live in Homestead, Florida, and earn my living as a fishing guide, based in Key Largo. The reason that we live in Homestead is that Pam wants to stay in civilization, within driving distance of Miami, with its shows, shopping and her job at Tuthil & Tuthil Engineers. Pam pisses a...
Part 3 - We Find a Lawyer - Chapter 7 - A Lawyer with a Cat As Anna and I parted after her advice about Emily, I realized I needed to call Sam before he left the office for the day. He was a serious rower from college days and was out on the Charles every afternoon at four except in the worst weather. "Sam, I'm glad I caught you. Can you talk?" "Alec, i...
