Sophia Continued Part 3 Should be read after Sophia Continued Parts 1 and 2, and all parts of Sophia by CastleStone. I make no claims to be as funny as CastleStone. I'm just trying to provide a conclusion for Don and Maria who were kind of left hanging in the wind. Also, I don't have the gamma ray desk light that CastleStone had or his recipe book. Just ma...
"You just have to think of something, Jeanette," pleaded Angie. She lifted the glass of chardonnay to her lips, which signaled that it was my turn to reply. I studied the deep crimson cabernet as I swirled it, inhaled its scent, took a sip, and watched the light rainbow film cascaded down from the rim of my glass. The action always seemed to hone my though...
I knew I shouldn't have. I knew before things started heating up that I should stop. I knew, but I didn't stop. I couldn't. It could have been some deep down sub-conscious part of me was telling me to enjoy life while I could. Or it could have been pure lust. Or both. Allow me to explain. Several years ago, my girlfriend at the time, Julie, was in the h...

When Beau Smith hired me he was clear about his golden rule; Always keep a bag packed and be ready to hit the road in less than an hour. And that is the way that I have lived for the last twenty years. At a moments notice, I might find myself on the way to one of our factories in Alabama to solve a machinery problem or to New York to soothe a disgruntled cus...
Prologue In The Beginning chronicled the weeks prior to graduation day, 1963. A lot has happened since, at Islands Estates. Some have moved away, some have moved here to stay for a while. There have been weddings, and of coarse, a divorce. We've had a birth and a death. We basked in the sun, frolicked in the rain and hunkered down during a hurricane. I wit...
Thanks to the Hip and Knee doctor for editing assistance. There is no sex in this story. Sorry. * I guess my big mistake was not manning up earlier. I let myself get into a funk and now I was paying the price. To be honest with you, it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. A man is supposed to hold up and carry on, but I just didn't feel like it....
The litany of romantic horror continues... 18. Ms. Stuck-Up Bitch - I've had first dates where the woman was rude or snide or otherwise disagreeable, but never to the extent that this woman demonstrated. If she had anything nice or pleasant to say during our brief coffee date than I must have blinked and missed hearing it. She made especially rude comments...
Chapter 6: Gordon drops out Paige called at three PM, saying the bus would arrive in about thirty minutes. I was there when the bus pulled in, and watched her appear on the steps, scan the crowd, and smile when she spotted me. Aside from her laptop, she had no luggage. We hugged and I helped her into the cab of my truck. I filled her in on what had been ha...
