"I have a surprise for you," Jason smiled over at me as we drove down the freeway. "Another one?" I teased, laying my head on his shoulder and running my hand lightly up and down his thigh. We were both eager for this date and the fact that we were actually getting to spend a substantial amount of time alone together. Can you call it a date when you are m...
Marisol Chavez woke up this morning with new found energy and ambition. Today was the day when she and another friend of hers were going to experience something they never experienced before. Marisol went into her bathroom to brush her teeth. She pulled back the clear see through shower curtain and turned on the faucet. The first turn on the right was to l...
The Fifth Day “Where exactly are we going Sally?” I said as I looked across at my wife. It appeared that my question did not require an answer at least I didn’t get one. I let it pass. Her hands were gripping the steering wheel a little too tightly I thought and her face seemed tense, I had an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach that things were not q...
"To some death comes as an Angel of Mercy, to release them from suffering, to ease them into the last long sleep. Often, after illness it is said that death comes as 'a blessing'. But, in the end death always comes as a thief in the night; unexpected, unwanted, unwelcomed." The minister looked out over the sea of faces. The Chapel of Rest was full to bursti...
Six months earlier. It was at a beach party that Jack was turned. Someone, an acquaintance, invited him and a few bottles, to the dunes on the South Kentish Sea front near Dungeness.

Through an old school friend, I contacted the Chair of the Industrial Engineering Department of De La Salle University to get a recommendation for a highly professional student who could act as my local liaison for the week....
Chapter 1 Brad McGibbon was not coping well following his wife's decision to leave him to live in a warmer climate because her joints were playing up. Brad's were too, a bit. He thought Heather should have hips, knees and anywhere else that was painful replaced instead of sloping off to a warm climate where one sweated all day and perhaps half-froze at nigh...
I have it all. A beautiful apartment on Park Avenue, a spacious home on 10 acres in Southampton, a winter home in Palm Beach and a delightful getaway villa at the tip of Cap D'Antibes. I have a Ferrari when I want to drive myself and a chauffeur driven Rolls Royce when I don't want to bother looking for a parking place. I have a family with none of the respo...
"That's my girl Jayla over at the yellow sea horse. Which one is yours?" "I don't have one, yet. I'm prospecting to get a feel for what it's like to come out here." "You white folks have a lot of discipline. I popped my first one with sixteen." "Well, the economy is hard. A month after Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, my husband's production line was black-lit...
An account of what you should never do, have sex with your ex. * It was odd really; well I found it odd and sometimes wondered whether others would as well. However, they couldn't, for I didn't tell them, I didn't tell anyone, I didn't share that part of my life with another soul. I was married to Kevin for thirteen years and was with him in total for alm...
