I'm entering it in Lit's Valentine's Day contest; make sure you read all the excellent entries and vote for your favorites. * * * "So, you're looking great!" She was, too; petite, fit, luminous, she looked exactly as she had in high school, sitting on...
Note: As always, thank you all for reading and thanks to donalde for beta reading. I also wanted to make a correction for chapter 18. I made Warden Ellis a republican and he should have been a democrat. The south at that time was primarily democratic. A reader was kind enough to email me to inform me of my error- thank you for that. ****** Patricia wasn't...
We – or should I say my wife? – first met Charles at our company Christmas party. I already knew him, of course. I worked with him at the agency. He was a nice guy, charming, handsome... but our respective tasks rarely brought us into any sort of regular contact. I didn't normally give him much thought. I doubt he gave much more thought to me. It often tak...
Chapter 1: Veronica "V" Stone V woke up after the blessing of the sun shining its light through the opened shades of the window. V did not need to go outside to tell how beautiful it is.

I thanked him and from that point onwards we began to chat about...
Brooklyn I staggered into my house, kicking off my heels the moment I stepped through the door. I'd flown to Seattle, Washington, on Tuesday morning, and now, Friday evening, I was finally home in Chicago, tired and ready to sleep in my own bed. Short of flying charter, first class was as good as it got, but I still had to deal with crowds, terminals, lugga...

Greater New York Jinro could see cranes dancing in the imperial garden at Kyoto. Their antics, wings flapping, necks dipping and gyrating, were graceful, choreographed by evolution over thousands of years. The vision was faded like an old photo or distant memory. He'd left Japan with to live with his American father when he was 9, and filled his head with t...
Another MIKE CLAYMORE MYSTERY #7: Carlyle Ode to Mike's Blue Beast Out of the mists late one night, she came to haunt my dreams. She showed me pleasures and passions beyond my wildest dreams.
