Her father, a stocky, pug-faced man with dense glasses, walked briskly ahead of her. He made a beeline...
"Hey little brother, this is a good thing. We are starting a new life in West Liberty. Don't feel bad about the broken cup in the kitchen. The doctor said it would take time... months or a year... for both of us." Sandra, the blond around twenty years old, put her arms around Randalf, the slightly younger looking, black hair man. She snuggled her chest arou...
Author's Note: To all the fans of this series I offer my apologies for the delinquency of submissions. Real life often sneaks up on us and I've had little time to devote to the series between moves, jobs, computer crashes, and other miscellaneous crises in the last year.

The reason I wa...
Shawn couldn't find any good hiding places that could conceal two people. He looked around, frustrated at his lack of options until he thought back to the rescue the previous night. He started scanning the rock walls around them. Thirty feet back from the ridge there was a small plateau that could fit the two of them as long as they got cozy, but it was out...
This story includes a lot of speech with dialect, and I tried to make it sound as natural as possible. Sometimes I didn't spell words how they would sound phonetically in the dialect, because doing so made the word look confusing. Grammatical imperfections in character dialogue are intentional. It's a long story but I'm big on character and plot development...
It's a Saturday evening, and I'm out with my three BFFs. Naturally I have Sophie with us. BFF #1, Isabelle, has a date with her. BFF #3, Ellie has a friend with her.

All I could focus on was the fact that I was wearing a short skirt and plunging neckline halter top without a stitch of underwear. I also had at least one, if not two, eager photographers with an itch to help me in my...
