Saturday night, January 8th. I was paying attention to the game. Really, I was. It was just that every time something good would happen, I would see her out of the corner of my eye. By halftime, I had decided. I had to talk to her. I waited for a chance to say something. Anything. "Gawd, I would have thought we would be killing them by now!" she said behin...
This one, I write as much for myself as for you. This time, this one time, I need to chronicle the events that unfolded - and changed my life. Part one I spotted her first. After registering for the medical conference at the front desk and taking my bags to my room, we shared an elevator down to the lobby. No, that's not true, we didn't share it. We didn'...
Usually Adriana crept in around 4 o'clock in the morning. Crept into Ransome Farrell's apartment that was. She needed more than stealth to enter the building itself. At that time of morning the doorman slumbered. Though rarely must tenants press the chimes. Rattling the door handle always awakened him. A sound sleeper himself, Farrell learned of her arrival...
Kyle was in the island by fluke, his plans to gather with a few friends to discuss the latest in NLP had been laid to rest as the third bailed out. Kyle was alone, on the island, with bare feet as he walked on the sand. It was a beautiful sandy beach, white sand till as far as the eyes could see. He wished he had Shannon by his side. The chalets were laid w...

I sat there staring at the blank page of my diary. The date at the top of the page was April 23 but there was nothing written on the preceding pages. This was a new beginning. I toyed with the opening entry, discarding such trite quotes such as; 'Today is the first day of the rest of my life.', or what about; 'Life is what you make of it.', or 'A pessimist...
In the late Spring of 2010, I began divorce proceedings from my wife of 10 years while my sister, Melissa, was close to breaking up with her live-in boyfriend of four years. I was 39 and Melissa was 28. At the time, I was residing in Indianapolis, our hometown, while she was residing in Omaha, Nebraska. Residing about a 10-hour drive from each other, Meliss...
Chapter Eight: The Noose Tightens Did I happen to mention everything was moving so fast? People weren't really surprised Lance Layton took his commission and ran for the door as fast as he could. There wasn't an employee in the firm who didn't wish they could produce the same results for themselves. The rumors ran rampant: he had purchased his own seat and...
A Sequel to "An Ocean Apart" My thanks and much love to Roy for his inspiration, knowledge, and support in writing this sequel... "You really ought to see England," Roy said to Marie the next morning. "So I have arranged a trip into London to see the sights you have probably only ever read about before. We will not be seeing the Queen, though," he laughed....
