Max looked at the enormous pine tree with satisfaction. He and Alli's cousin Ray had cut it, towed it behind a team of horses, and manhandled it by brute force into the house. The twelve foot fir tree stretched toward, but didn't quite attain, the rafters of the vaulted ceiling in the Great Room. Still, he thought, it was a FINE tree and he couldn't wait to...
Joyce had barely made it back to the apartment from the grocery store where she worked as a checkout clerk and tucked the ham she'd brought home—the last one in the store—before it was time to go pick up the Christmas cake she'd ordered from Gleesons before they closed. She had already been cutting her time short—she still had to go buy a tree and figure out...

Isabel had gone on to age 17 and at age 18 began teaching at the very school she had graduated from. **************************** Every year the Barn festival was held at a different farm. Th...
My thanks goes out to Kttn and Aleirian for taking the time out of their busy schedules to edit Shady Oak. ***** This year Jean and I celebrated our thirty-sixth wedding anniversary. I pause occasionally to glance at my wife, when she first crawls out of bed in the mornings with her white curls all tangled and snarled, or when she lays a loving hand on on...
The day is still warming so you decide not to put your coveralls back on yet. You drink from your canteen and eat a little. To be sure you get back before dark, you strike off in the direction of the road. It's a little sad leaving the tree, but the joyous grin that has been on your face for what seems like hours keeps coming back as you remember and replay...

Though I think their sexy adventure is enough to satisfy those who prefer "stroke stories" be warned this isn't strictly that sort of story. That said, I hope you enjoy it!) * "Let's go to the tree house, it's bound to be cooler there now." Cassie smiled at Derek's words and tried...

She came out of her beauty shop on to the small porch. Her husband had built the shop for her in the front of the house. The beauty shop side of the house was painted pink. She was a stout red head with huge knockers. She had the superstructure that could support the burden. She also had the wide steel braced bras that she had caught the boys next door inspe...
When I was born was always a mystery to me. My Pa never talked of my mother and so all I remember is being. He told me I looked like her when he was drunk but gave no hint how. My two little sisters, big brother, my Pa and I took care of the farm up in the Mountains of Kentucky. Pa and Sam worked the fields. I worked the house, raised the twins. Terry and Me...
PROLOGUE It's ten after three and the school bus should be arriving in the next couple of minutes. I can't stand still and keep going back and forth: to the window, to the kitchen to check on food, to the living room to try and just sit for a few minutes. It's not the kids' arrival that is making me so excited. No, it's their father's arrival in another thr...
