The night passed so quickly, given the potency and charisma of the man walking her to her hotel room door. His heated looks, and slumbering bedroom eyes drove her wild, and when his hand had slipped up her dress under the t...

Making the Hard Decisions as a Writer

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

Well, it’s light outside, so I guess it’s classified as morning, and since I woke up, that’s a plus too. But really, where did that expression come from? Just curious. I’m not going to digress into exploring the saying — well, not right this very second … don’t worry. *laughs*

So, I have been doing a lot of thinking, and I’ve come to a decision — I think. Fractured Moon is going to be re-worked and re-configured. Since writing Fractured Moon, Finding Time, and lea...

Flash Fiction Friday (22) Fuck You, Fate.

There is a caveat to my flash this week! YOU HAVE TO READ BENJAMIN’S FIRST! So, come back when you’re done

A 100 word story — no more, no less.

Yesterday I posted “Do you believe in Fate“, this flash sort of ties in with that piece, and the WIP I’m writing with Benji.

Ryanne closed her eyes on the Oracle’s pronouncement. Her brain pounded in her head, circling frantically for a different answer. An acceptable answer. Shivers wracked her limbs as her flesh broke out in goosebumps. She tried to m...

Do you believe in Fate? A sneak peak into a complicated WIP

According to Chinese and Japanese legends, the Red String of Fate, Red Thread of Destiny, and the Red Thread of Fate exist because Gods tie an invisible red string around the ankles of those destined to meet, either in a certain situation, or to help each other in some way. (Taken from Wikipedia)

The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of time, place, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Weste...

My Confessions #2

#2 I’m a junk food, freaking, junkie.

There, I said it. In really big letters. I love chocolate. Oreo cookies. Oatmeal cream pies…damn you little debbie! I like Bear Claws and those little fake donuts with the crumbs on them. I love Snickers Bars and Mounds Bars.

I love Brownies (Especially my MIL’s homemade fudge brownies, OMG *thud* ) I love to make homemade cookies and pretend they are healthy. I use real oatmeal, and dark chocolate chips and honey as a sweetener… so they aren’t ‘unhealthy’...

Welcome to Tantalizing Tuesday, where a two hundred word story awaits you from a picture prompt. This week I chose the following photo: Make sure you scroll down and follow the links to some extremely talented authors and their stories.

My stomach had been in knots that entire week, and I’d almost chickened out. I’d almost called him and canceled more than once. I’d been a nervous wreck. What if I imagined everything?

Still, when Saturday came, I’d stuffed down my insecurities, and boarded the...

The Levels of Trust ~ Part One

Currently, I’m working on a project that requires a total level of trust, and it made me start to think about trust, and how hard it is to earn, and how fast it can disappear. There are so many fake people in the world, who will use and abuse, manipulate and attempt to garner favor at the demise and detriment of others.

There are basically three levels of trust, according to my research. I have summarized from Leading with Trust, and a few other sources.

Deterrence-Based Trust (aka Calculus-Bas...

The moment I saw him I knew.

I sauntered up to him in the smoky, crowded bar and whispered in his ear, "Come with me, don't ask questions." Then I turned and sashayed out of the bar, hoping he'd follow.

From that one small touch, that one shallow inhale, his essence...
