"Yes Tim," I spoke into the telephone to my friend, partner, occasional helper and drinking buddy. "You rang earlier. What can I do for you on this bright and sunny day?" "You might think it's bright and sunny, Sam," he groaned back at me. "But I've got myself in a bit of a pickle, and could do with some help mate." What? Sam got himself into a pickle? An...
Perched in the doorway between deep sleep and wakefulness, I know that it is dawn. I can see light through my closed eyelids, and the rhythms of nocturnal sounds have stopped. The citizens of daylight—pets, people, sparrows, cattle, are all preparing for their appearance in the day, and do so in quietude. It is silent, building, awaiting activity. The chill...
We rested and had cut lunches out of the cooler as we transited to the next dive location, a reef teeming with sea life. We didn't see any big sharks, but it was still a beautiful dive spot. I didn't envy Linda; editing this visit to just 39 minutes of television would be tough. It would be a good episode, great if she finished it with this shot of Nicholas...

Chapter 1 My wife, Juanita, set across the breakfast table from me, just as we had for the last twenty-four years of our married life. It was a Thursday morning in late September and the leaves of the trees in our backyard had begun to turn various shades of yellow and tan. She was enjoying that view through the window of our breakfast nook, while I read th...

At the request of a reader who was kind enough to offer both feedback and a plot suggestion, I have this to say. * * * The engine ticked lightly, rhythmically, having only recently completed a twenty mile journey. Rain dripped from the frame of the car, from the edges of its bumpers. The windows were blurred, save for the two arches where the wipers had re...
I have to thank my editors, for the look of this story. It sure wasn't this good when I gave it to them. * I had been at my favorite restaurant less than twenty minutes; hell, I still had the menu in my hand when Josie strolled up and dumped the world onto my lap. It wasn't her fault; she wasn't to know. Josie owned the place, and it's probably the only p...
I've never been the kind of man who focuses much on the past. My father taught me from an early age to have what he referred to as a "windshield" mentality. Basically, he taught me that you should focus on the road ahead and not worry about the past. So, while I like to think that I have learned from my mistakes and celebrated my victories, I have always tri...
Dear Reader, thank you so much for reading this story. It has taken nearly a year of my writing life to get the whole thing finished. This is Chapter 7 of 14 chapters and the total is over 250,000 words. It is my Dirk Diggler/Jack Horner act of hubris: my attempt to write an erotic adventure story that pulls you in with a story you want to read, even when th...
