This happened a little over three years ago. It's still the greatest night of my life. I work for a TV station in Atlanta as a news producer. While I enjoy the job, I usually try to stay away from on-air types away from work. As professional as they are on the air, they can be very unprofessional off it. Some have out of control egos, some have staggering in...
You once told me that we were like two sides of the same coin; you wandering the earth searching for a permanent home and soul-mate whilst I longed to escape the confines of my perfect domesticity. You told me your greatest fear was to grow old and die alone with neither a loved one to hold your hand nor a child to validate your existence. Mine was to die...
Chapter 1: James looked at himself in the mirror. He had done well for himself. At 31 years old, he was doing better than most. As a personal injury and divorce attorney, he had aggressively marketed himself right out of law school. His face was everywhere. One could look at the side of bus bench, listen to local radio, or watch tv; there was James. He care...
Surprise! Earlier then you thought huh? Lol! Enjoy! "2 minutes until we start rolling!" Sawyer called fiercely, walking through the set toward the news anchors.

After the 20th time, Car...
Free Speech. Hmm... That's a hard one. The right of the individual to freely speak his or her mind and not be censored for it. It's a nice Idea. Americans claim to have it. But do we really? An author decides to write a novel of political intrigue, spends a year and a half (roughly) to get it ready for publication, and submits it to numerous publishing hou...
The day after my fortuitous visit to the hospital I was still giddy about my good luck the day before. At six o'clock that evening, I sat down to watch the evening news wondering if Donna Hawthorne be back in the anchor chair so soon. All that day, I had been reliving the events of the day before. Mrs. Hawthorne was one of the more classic older beauties I...
It was one of those good news and bad news moments. Dana and I had arrived at the Marina all excited about our seven days on the houseboat. We'd hired it off the Internet. From the pictures, it looked okay for just the two of us. We walked down the hill to the wharf past some really huge, luxury vessels which I knew we couldn't possibly have afforded. They w...

The bride tipped a jewel case back and forth. Rainbows of color flowed across the DVD as the ballroom's lights struck it. A brown uniformed messenger appeared out of the crowd, handed her the case then vanished just as quickly. The only explanation was a Post-it Note on the back from her best friend. Vic, Sorry I can't make the wedding. I have a life alter...
The following is the first chapter of a long story. I have two warnings: First I haven't finished it yet, and only the first chapter has passed a final edit. Second I wrote what I wanted, and I didn't try to adhere to some arbitrary form. Accordingly, there is a long backstory before the main story begins. This story begins before the action in Crime and Pu...
