I was sitting at the back of the bar on a Saturday afternoon enjoying the quietness of the time. It had become my favorite spot a few years back when I was walking alone. I had discovered it shortly after I had arrived here after I had left Paradise, the place I used to call home. During that time, I bought the local gas station and garage for less than what...
I like to think my problem is a common one. I see TV shows and read magazine articles about it all the time. The "thirty-something" single woman – reasonably attractive, career-oriented, financially stable, active social life...she has it all... Or does she? How many of us are desperately aware that we don't have it all? How many of us long for the one thing...
Part 1 Anyone who knew her and described her honestly would have said Amy Hollister was a bitch. Probably even her relatives would have said so, had any been unlucky enough to end up living anywhere near her. I was unlucky enough to own the house she moved next door to when she arrived in town. There was nothing she liked about me or anybody else she ran...
Due to popular demand I have joined both parts of In the Photo Shop to create this opus. Please enjoy and send us a message. We really enjoy hearing from our readers. Cheers Marcus and Sharon. - - - - The car was a beaten up old Daihatsu Charade and as it pulled into the parking space outside the shop the bumper smacked into our photo processing sign k...
Dear Reader. I'm an Australian writer and use English spelling and Australian slang. If you can't with the fact that at times words will end in 're' or that there will be a 'u' in colour, please stop reading now. (Yes, we've had complaints.) CUCK WARNING! This story also contains married folk enjoying sex with other people. If that subject matter offends, st...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thanks to everyone who's given 'JB' such good ratings and for the encouraging comments. And I must apologise for the several typos in the earlier chapters that I've only now noticed after re-reading. While on winter climbing holidays in the UK's frozen north, I once spent consecutive weeks in two lovely little self catering cottages - Jessamy...
LUCKY JACK Being the misadventures of one of life's losers. Chapter One: Jack the Despicable! * WARNING TO NEW READERS- This is a rambling, VERY British story which although being totally a work of fiction is partially based on a true confession told to me many years ago. The theme was made into a short story in the 1990s but has recently been modernized...
This is the second version because for some reason the first bit was reproduced half-way through in the original, sorry about that -- this should be it mind you... This story started as a single concept and kind of got away from me, it's very long but that's the way it went. A large part of it is by way of a suggestion that I have often written stories and...
My name is Jodi Michaels. Perhaps you've read my mother's account of how I recently lost my virginity. Or maybe you haven't, so I'll summarize and then get on with the rest of my story. My mother is a very successful director of highly acclaimed erotic movies. How she ended up with a career in that industry is a long story, but I'll tell you the important p...
As Dan got into his car following his business-dinner meeting that evening, he realized the day could not get any worse, glad it was almost over. It all began with him getting into a fight with his fiancée Jenny in the morning, steadily going downhill until ending with this last meeting...with almost 12 hours of pure Hell in between. Short of getting into a...
