Welcome one and all to chapter 17 of "Is Love All or Nothing?" WOOOOO! Sorry for the long delay as I wanted to get this chapter and next one done and edited before I submitted because I don't want to leave you, the reader, in suspense for too long. Why you would be suspense you may ask? Sorry, you have to read to find out. As always credit for editing goes...
Hello again. I apologise - again - for the delays in adding chapters, but life has an uncanny knack of getting in the way of this. The storyline takes no time at all out of my life - it comes into my head when I'm on the bus, or sitting in a waiting room, or when I wake up in the middle of the night. The problem is getting the meaning into words, getting the...
Dear Readers: I hope you like the new type of story I'm starting. I plan to make it much longer. There isn't anything steamy in this chapter, but there will be soon. This isn't a quick read, so for those of you that take the time to read it. I do apologize if there are any typos or grammatical errors. As always, please comment and/or vote!! --- I numbly w...
Set in New Zealand with Kiwi spelling and idioms. * CHAPTER 1 It was Saturday morning and Martin Mora, recently leaving the family nest, looked around his small apartment, if it could be called that: small oblong box was more apt. When he first inspected it, driven down in size by the high rentals being demanded for his idea of an apartment, at six foot t...
This story is the eighth in a series. I strongly recommend reading the prior chapters first to put this in context. I intended to leave Amanda and Harry forever in college. However, a reader asked me to continue their story. When I started this, my intention was to wrap up the story of the Turners and the Stones in this chapter. Amanda and Harry have persuad...
Melanie had been Abigail Somner's best friend as long as either of them could remember. They had grown up nearby each other, gone to school together and now were about to launch into their college careers together. Mel had always been the prime mover, the 'go getter' of the pair. Abi was quieter, more introspective, in fact she was just plain shy. Neverthel...
This story is part of a quartet of stories named: One Summer. It is not a continuing storyline. They have familiar, common settings, persons or themes but they are not the same. Each story stands on its own. As always, all persons have reached the age of 19 years or more since they were born. Note to the reader: English is not my first language so it may s...
It is 1989, and I am an old lady. I want to write about something that happened when I was much younger. It was a time with much different values. People look back at the media, advertisements, and culture of the 1950's and see it as much more proper than today. However, that was not always true. Television and the media painted America as some sort pristine...
© Copyright 2016, Osthanes Author's Note: I intensely loathe disclaimers and I am of the opinion that they are almost always neither necessary nor helpful. However, because I tend to love to write about certain subjects that often include themes involving power exchange, I feel the need to at least make a brief statement regarding why I write what I do. I...
Chapter 1 -- Meeting It really had started like any other week the previous 3 years; I drove in from my 'palatial estate' in the suburbs of Detroit, to the airport, into company parking, into the crew lounge, into the cockpit of my trusty Boeing 737. Into what had been my world the last 23-odd years of my life. I had never had what would have been considere...
