Chapter 1
I smiled as I heard her complaining. She had been accosted by a homeless man, wanting a few dollars for bus fare, and she felt so bad she had given him a five, only to see him go into a Seven Eleven and buy a pack of cigarettes. He came out tapping the pack, looked up, saw her, gave a sheepish grin, and walked down the street.

Exhibitionist & Voyeur
I awoke to a chorus of songbirds. Sunrise was just getting started behind the ridge at the rear of the hotel. Regatta Bay was still shrouded in darkness; scattered clouds glowed pink and orange in the indigo sky; a sallow near-full moon was sinking in the west. I imbibed the clean, crisp, salty air. I love that lonely, tranquil time when the night's reign is...

Dawn's Early Light
Ophelia wakened slowly in the yacht cabin and stretched her arms above her head with a wide yawn. A single sheet covered her naked body, mounded over her generous breasts. The ship was tied up securely to the dock in their home port. Restless wavelets washed gently against the hull. The early morning birds chirped to...

Loving Wives
I've leveraged the Hemingway canon for a few of my stories. And A Farewell to Arms is the only one left now.
That is the definitive war novel; as iconic as The Red Badge of Courage. I was hesitant to try to cover it because we don't fight wars like that anymore. But my pal Richard Gerald talked me into at least looking at it. And in the end I saw that the...

Loving Wives
Author's Note: I was both surprised and flattered to be invited to participate in the "Legends" contribution for the July 4th holiday. Although I am a "Canuck," and often write stories based in Canada, I chose to use the USA as a setting for this yarn. This is not a hard core Loving Wives contribution, but it is typical of my type of story. I hope some of yo...
