We drove to the edge of town, and I saw we were low on gas. "Pull over into that Holiday station, Olivia. I'll pump gas, you go in and grab some snacks and drinks for the drive.

Hello everyone! It's good to have another chapter out. Hope it will be worth the wait. For anyone interested, I am still looking for a second editor. I would be grateful for any type of help, whether it be with grammar, plot, character development, or just poking me every so often to make sure I'm either dead or still writing the chapters. Shout out to Mar...

At just past seven p.m. Claudia arrived at Tristan's residence, climbing the steps to the wide porch before knocking on the front door. Decorated with a beautiful fall wreath, the door had been freshly painted a navy blue color, which contrasted nicely with the cream colored house. A few seconds passed before she heard the lock being undone, and as the doo...
First let me thank you all for the votes and emails. And as I've said before, this is not meant to be the next great novel, so if that's what you're looking for, I'm sorry to disappoint. I started it wanting to do a running chronicle that spans years like a soap opera, so it may never actually reach a satisfactory end for some people. With that in mind, if y...
Alright, so this story has undergone some heavy revision. Originally I was planning on it being very minor, with just a few minor tweaks here and there, but I ended up making more changes than I'd originally planned. These changes have to do with Tristan's section of the story. That may be bad for some, or perfectly fine with others, but thought I would let...
"What about your hope chest?" There was a protest in Mardi's voice. She even stomped her foot a little as Renee shook her head and sat the onesie back on top of the stack of baby clothes. "What about it? I told you I'm not doing that anymore," Renee did her best firm voice, turned her back on her best friend and headed towards a card table holding an asso...

Author's note: After the long wait, Bloodlines Ch. 2 has arrived. In this final installment, I did use characters from two other stories; A Darkening Soul and Mystical Tattoo, though they are not must reads to follow Cody to his conclusion. They would, however, provide depth for several key characters if interested. With that, Happy Reading! Beckett Guthrie...
