Fifty Shades of Grey is Good The Internet is full of blog postings, reviews, and essays, everything to do with this new phenomenon. Prior to reading the novels, I was blatancy rude in saying that this was just another 'band wagon' jump. I was sucked in more to determine if there was any merit to the craze that had caused all my female coworkers to be whispe...
Kaylie looked at her Kindle Fire while fiddling with her sucker wrapper. This was the fifth novel in a week but she couldn't seem to put them down. "Hey, Kaylie!" Wyatt Coleman ran up to her from his car parked at the curb. She was waiting for him at the Sunrise Cafe on Burk Avenue in New York City where they had a scheduled coffee date. Looking up at him...
I have a list of six names scrawled on a grocery pad, and in block letters up top it says: "Geniuses to have sex with." Underneath, I've added: "(in order of sexiness)" but that's hard to do. I hemmed and hawed and in the end I just listed them randomly, boy girl boy girl boy boy. Genius number one was "Richard Feynman (1918-1988)" and his name's already c...
Carol awoke snuggled between the sleeping bodies of Kalin and Coreen. The Emperor's other wives and consorts were also sleeping in the huge, round bed. However, the Emperor himself was not with them; nor was Shayal. The room was illuminated by a soft purple grow that provided just enough light to see by without interrupting sleep. Carol looked about the bedr...

The woman was aged around 42 year's old, black to brownish hair, wrinkles around her eyes, she had seen a lot of things in her 42 years. She was wearing just casual gear, yoga pants, sports jacket, and the usual weekend bumming around the house wear. The man ages around 40 years old, ag...
That first night during dinner her mom, tears flowing, handed newly graduated Billie Summers, MA, a check for $30,000, being a return of Billie's big advance payment for her first novel. That return of money reminded Billie of the big gamble Sam Sorensen had taken on her in over-spending on a new author's advance but happily that investment had been returne...
Ben surfaced slowly from sleep, savoring every moment of the sluggish, dreamy warmth in his head as shifted position slightly. He knew he was losing the moment, his brain gradually shifting gears to wakefulness, but there was just something so wonderful about waking up without an alarm that he wanted to make it last. His eyes slowly opened... ...and took in...

I do promise that I will continue to post chapters of this new story though, so you guys don't have to worry about me leaving you hanging. Well, here it is...and I hop...
This wasn't the holiday Sarah had wanted. True, the campsite was beautiful and the weather mild. The two families had side by side sites up on the bluff overlooking the bay. They'd woken up day after day to blue skies and calm seas. But it was still June and summer hasn't really gotten into full gear - it was just about warm enough to suntan but not quite wa...
