"Murph really likes you, Tom," Bethany said softly while we walked hand-in-hand to her car. "He seems like a very nice guy," I answered. "And he obviously thinks the world of you, too." "He's a good judge of character," Bethany said as we approached her car. "Humble much?" I chided her laughingly. "I meant yours!" she responded with a good-natured punch...
She'd had enough. The revolver she kept in the closet was loaded with six bullets before she stepped to the mirror, covering the latest red mark on her neck with make up. Yes, she'd kill him this time, she told herself, it can't go on. As she strutted out onto the drive of the big house his wealth had brought her, she felt a strange but undeniable pleasure i...
Calara stepped out of the armour-equipping frame in the Dojo's armoury and hurried into the corridor, breaking into a jog as she headed for the grav-tube. She'd heard a brief summary of the disastrous confrontation with John's guide from Alyssa, but after discovering that her girlfriend had been injured, all she wanted to do was rush to her side. She leapt o...

I didn't want to break it up into separately published sections, so I decided to put it here, in the Novels and Novellas category, wh...

Volume 4 is in progress, and I have no idea when, or if it may be finished. Book One opens with our 3 main characters coming together, then growing as they learn about each other. * * * * * Ready Maid Family Book One HELP...
Author's note: I have had a story in my head for years and have written the first few chapters of it many times. I always end up putting it aside to write small ones like the one you find here. I still lack the confidence to tackle such a challenging tale. No matter, I have a pile of other stories started that need to be finished. One of these days, I'll hav...
***** A Meeting, Of Sorts ***** River Run was the place to go if you needed to sell illicit goods, or at least that was what Garthuk had been told. But, as he scanned the busy frontier town, he found that claim hard to believe. It looked like any other human settlement — poorly fortified, with too much land dedicated to growing crops. Garthuk spat at the t...
Chapter One. I met Eric at the tennis club I had joined. We were both single men with no set schedule to speak of, so we played together pretty often. I'm a pretty laid back guy on most things, but tennis was one of the few things I was competitive at. Eric, it turns out, was the same way, and some of our arguments over points almost devolved into fistfight...
