Author's Note: Whew! So glad to be back writing! Well, it seems that most of you all liked the last story, now let me answer some questions 1. No...you may not have my love child! As flattering as it is to have people say they want to have my children, I require that you at least take me to dinner first. Possibly some dancing will be involved. 2. My inspir...
The way you notice things can be strange. Against a familiar background you might not see an elephant. But look at an unfamiliar background! Things that are commonplace jump out. That Monday started great. My best client gave my firm a new project. To thank them and as a kick-off, I took the high mucky-mucks out to lunch at a very nice restaurant. The resta...
Notes from the author: Hi again everyone. Here's something different, as a nostalgic ode to my youth playing Dungeons & Dragons, Pendragon and other pen-and-paper role-playing games. I know I am no bard but I tried my hand at an Arthurian idyll. I hope you enjoy it. 1. The errant and the prisoner "Great God! Cadfael, should I die today I would do so knowin...
This is just a short one, to warm you up for the two almost novel length stories that are coming. Enjoy. ***** In the end, after enough time had gone by, and I could look back semi-objectively, it was just plain stupid. No other reason, just a person jumping to conclusions, not checking, and doing something unforgivable for what she thought justified. Eve...
Hey folks, I'm surprised that so many of you liked last week's story. That only means that a lot of you probably won't like this one. But it's fine. As I warned you guys a few weeks ago I'm on a storyteller's vacation. For a few weeks I just wanted to throw some crazy ideas out there and get away from the typical "I came home and she was screwing the neighbo...
Smokey Saga #12: "Give Me A Little Credit Here" ***** Intro #1: This is a tale first written as a play script. It has its share of romance, but no sex (though still a cute, spoofy little yarn). It's my first in "Non-Erotic." This bounces between first- and third-person. The first-person parts are bold with the girls' initials in parentheses. And even after...
Chapter 25 The next morning Alex slowly opened her eyes, the room was still dark but she could tell the sun was coming up as it brightened the bedroom. She rolled over but Gavin was gone. She shook her head as she thought about the argument from last night. She felt his pillow and it was cold. She wondered if he had come to bed at all, his side was still p...
SUREFOOT: THE NANNY STATE Esek Hrelle, Captain of the USS Surefoot-A and Unashamedly Proud Father, held the tiny swaddled furred figure in the crook of his left arm, with more care than he had ever shown before with anything, and made sure the holocommunicator cameras in his Ready Room took her in fully, especially her snout twitching as she slept. His voic...

"Are you okay, ma'am?" the police detective asked her. "Oh, yes. I'm...I'm fine. It's just that I...I still can't believe this happened." "From what the bank manager said he didn't get any money, and no one was hurt. I'll just need to take your statement then I'm pretty sure you'll be able to get back to work." "I...I think I might just go home," she said...
