The Unlucky – Free Short Story

I had this Halloween story sitting around, and I figured I’d share it.   The Unlucky   When he tripped over her cat…her black cat that’d just crossed his path, Ron couldn’t help but think, “There was never a second date. Why was there never a second date?” He hadn’t pushed for one, but neither had Teralyn—or Teri as she’d […]

I promised some of my Twitter peeps a new short, and I rarely lie. Well, sometimes. When it’s important. Or useful.

Incant Me – Free Short

It’s been a while since I posted a free short…so here’s a contemporary magical realism one for you.

Masked Charades Dayna’s roommate was groping the guy she’d said had the IQ of a piece of celery. Tomie had to recognize that guy—he’d been hitting on her for the length of the entire cruise.

Our 1st Kiss for the 15th Time – Story

  Our First Kiss for the Fifteenth Time   In the history of kissing, no one sucked at it as much as we did. Seriously. It was like slapping Ken and Barbie together and expecting their plastic mouths to sizzle with friction. No. It was worse than that. It was like slapping cardboard cut-outs of Ken and Barbie together. We […]

While I enjoy baseball, I’m not a super fan, and I will admit my favorite part of watching the Mariners live is the garlic fries, so I got this checked by the most rabid baseball fan I know. Thanks, Sherri.     Fourth Strike   It was not a good sign that the best part of the date began after […]
