Author's note: This is a stand-alone romance of roughly 18k words. As always, everything and everybody is fictional and any resemblance random. As usual, I prefer to tell a story containing sexual acts instead of sexual acts driving a story so if you're looking for quick stimulation, I'm afraid this isn't the right story for you. My thanks go to my editor...
Indiscreet My life began its nosedive on the evening of 14 December, the night of my wife's company Christmas party. I had been to quite a few of these soirees over the years and, generally, had a good time meeting my wife's co-workers. This year, however, saw a change, a big change. To begin with my wife, Julie, had tried very hard to talk me out of going...
Chapter 5 The woman who opened the door to my knock early in the afternoon on January 2 was clearly surprised to see me. "Mister Sterling," she said coldly, holding the door open two feet and no more. "What can I do for you?" "I came to ask a favor, Mrs. Palmer," I said. I'd dressed nicely, in the same outfit I'd tried to wear to church before Jeanne shot...
This story was written with the grateful permission of Blue88, and is an alternative version of events that he laid out in part one of his story. I read the second part and, while I was OK with the reconciliation, I didn't like how Arch turned into an apologist when he was the injured party. I felt that since he'd put up with a lot from Dee over the last 12...
Once Upon A Time: An Epic Love Story Chapter 1 Once upon a time, during the time when city-states dotted the landscape of what later became known as Italy, there was a love story. This was not your typical love story, but an epic love story. Not where the hero and heroine fell in love without a cause, but one where they fought and struggled to maintain the...
Author's note: This is, in all its seven parts and their many chapters, one very, very long story. If long stories bother you, I suggest you read something else. No part of this story is written so as to stand on its own. I strongly suggest that you start with the beginning of Part 1 and read sequentially—giving up at any point you choose, of course....
When I posted the first part of this story I fully expected a barrage of indignant comments about my religious viewpoint. But none appeared. Could it be that those who would normally emerge from wherever to criticise me did not read beyond the opening statement, choosing instead to write it off as blasphemy? Or could it be that they could find no answer othe...

The orbital barrage was ferocious, explosions lighting up the sky as batteries of Quantum Flux Cannons pounded the surface of Arcadia. John and the girls could feel the vibrations through their feet, each massive blast sending tremors rippling outwards that reached the Invictus dozens of kilometres away. "Holy fuck..." Dana muttered leaning against the wind...
Here is chapter seven. I hope this will satisfy those who have been patiently waiting. This is the longest installment so far...it came to almost seventy-five pages in MS Word. I was surprised at how easy it was to write this particular chapter; it certainly cuts way down on the time between postings. I guess when dealing with the darker side of fiction, my...
