I've lost track of time over the last four months. So much has happened so quickly that none of us had time to stop and smell the coffee, or the roses, or anything else. I'll try to put it in chronological order if I can. First, the results of the trials were much better than anticipated. The fully formulated resin was much more efficient, so we were able t...
"I just don't see Clayton actually going along with Clarissa's side of the story," Jason, my editor, said. He was thirty-one years old with short brown hair and thick black-rimmed glasses like the kind that Drew Carey used to have back in the 90's. I guess that dates me. I thought about that while Jason continued trashing the character motive of my story the...
It was one of those humid August nights, no breeze and the heaviness of the air clinging to your skin, making your skin tacky to the touch. These really are the dog days of summer Lynn was thinking to herself as she entered the small bar looking for her best friend. She found Jaye waiting for her in a back booth near one of the only windows in the bar. Jaye...
I've been wanting to start this story for a while and I have recently been needing a distraction from a ton of other stuff happening, so this seemed like a great time to jump in. As with "Your Love" an editor was not used so PLEASE leave constructive feedback. And yes, this involves A LOT of the same characters from your "Your Love"! What can I say? I grew a...
Last spring I found myself in Atlanta for a seminar I was giving on financial security. I own my own company that works with people helping them invest their income wisely. I arrived on Friday and was set up in the penthouse suite where I would have room to spread out my material and host small gatherings if needed. The seminar was set to begin on Monday an...
Prologue I come home from work on 8th November to find Ava crying inconsolably on our bed, a little piece of white plastic clutched in her fist. "How long have you been here?" I ask gently, taking her in my arms and kissing her loose chestnut curls. She doesn't answer so I ask again, "What time did you take the test?" "At five," Ava hiccups indistinctl...
My boyfriend Michael, Pete, and I randomly decided to take a weekend road trip to Vegas for some partying and fun. The night before, we packed our bags and got everything we would need ready for the morning. It was a 4-hour drive to Vegas, so I got out a comfortable outfit to wear on the road and would change once we made it to our hotel. I picked out black...
It's not possible to forget what making love to Savannah Wilson was like. She was one erotic woman, visually and physically. I can't imagine some guy dating her and not being totally in lust with her. How they could ever let her go was a mystery to me. But then, knowing Vannie as I now do, it probably wasn't their decision. She had a mind of her own, and it...
"It's stifling in here," Jessie said, "I wish they would open a window or something." "Don't worry, honey, this won't take much longer," Carla said, "After all, they got that hunk from sales to be Santa, I just wish it was me working under him." "Oh stop it," Jessie reddened at the implied thought. "Oh come on now, Jessie, wouldn't you like to find out wh...
Thank you for the responses on the first chapter of this tale. Most all of them were very helpful and nice, and then again some of them weren't, but I could care less about those anyway. However, for those kind and gentle souls who continue to give me the very sweet and very nice comments, as well as the wonderful constructive criticism and encouragement, yo...
