romance stories and histories

It was a dark and stormy night. Look, I know it's a cliche. And a really bad one too. But it honestly was. There wasn't a lot going on in the pool hall, just the jukebox playing some Memphis Blues. Overall the bar looked worn-down and filled with character. Picture the worn out bar you have in your ...

It was a Monday, and I was working from home because I had a 4:00 in the morning conference call with our partners in England. The call required me to wear a tie and dress shirt and now that the call was over, I could switch into some sweats. My wife Jesse was in the shower when I was changing. As I...

There is a lake right in the middle of the forest with perfect coordinates, like a heart beating and pumping life to the green lushness. I grew up ten miles West from the lake, in a large farmhouse bordering the edge of the forest. I'd go hiking through the forest with my father some of the days but...

The office was quiet. Lights dimmed. Only the soft hum of the air conditioner and the distant rattle of the city after dusk. Everyone had gone home hours ago.
Everyone but her.
Amelia sat at her desk, fingers trembling over the keyboard as she tried to finish the quarterly report. She was trying to ...

Laying in Bed at One in the Morning

✨????✨
He doesn't ask what she saw.

Chapter 12

Ty cleared his throat. "You'll all need to sign this waiver that states you're over 18--for obvious reasons. But there's something else you should know. We have staff hired from a private source that will be helping to make sure that the games all run smoothly. They're consummate profess...

All of my writing is fiction, and the stories and characters are products of my imagination. They were created for my fun and, hopefully, your enjoyment.

Chapter One


Kaiyan


The Seventh Year of the Ikusa Era

War was a brutal thing. No matter how many battles he fought or victories he led, the acrid scent of blood still lingered in Kaiyan's mind. The rituals meant to cleanse the spirit left him empty--incense, wine, prayers--none of it could sooth...

"A failed writer," quipped Bobby, the company's VP and...

Author's Notes:
This is a story I wrote many years ago for my wife. She has lived this story many times. It is now a chapter in one of the novels I've completed and considering publishing. Any feedback would be highly appreciated. "My Soulmate List" is a two-book series. It is written as a steamy/er...

The universe was once very small. So small and heavy that it couldn't shrink anymore and so instead it exploded and expanded fast and urgently like it was running away from being so cramped in that tiny little dot, the size of a freckle. It got tired and slowed though, as you do when you've run so h...
