As promised, today’s snippet brings Ford and Daniel together. This is going to be the last one from Raffled Kiss, but the complete short story is going to be part of the Dreamspinner’s Love Wins anthology to benefit the families and victims of the Orlando shooting. Until then, enjoy!
“Ready to get smothered to death by the parental units?” Ford asked, getting ahold of Daniel’s hand. “The faster you say your hellos and goodbyes, the sooner we can get a detour home for you to change before meet...

Beach Party
“OMG. Looks like Barbie’s beach house threw up in here.”
“Did you expect anything less from Silvia? You gave your card to an eighteen-year-old.”
“Yeah, to plan our parents’ anniversary party, not get us into Gilligan’s.”
“Come on, babe, relax,” Danielle said.
We entered the crates and paddles gate and followed the labyrinth of white chairs and tiki torches to the straw covered bar.
“Is your dad smiling?”
“Yes.”
“Hey, guys,” mom said before hugging us. “Carmen, Silvia and you are...

Last week we met Daniel and his best friend, MR2 Donahue. This week is time to meet Ford and his mother-in-law, Cindy. They’re waiting for Daniel to return from deployment. Perhaps next week, we will finally get Ford and Daniel together.
“Because he’s your husband,” she replied as if talking with a five-year-old. “He will peck me on the cheek and run after you anyway. That kiss is meant to be epic, no matter what.”
She hugged him hard and moved back to her husband’s arms. He placed his hands...

Monday Flash Fics – Mugs – 7/11/2016
Mugs
“Here he comes,” Amber murmured as we man the registers.
Sergeant Hernández entered the coffee shop precisely at zero-six-hundred and stood in line, arms behind his back, attention completely on me. A shiver ran through me, and Amber snickered. We had been playing this cat and mouse game for a while, but today I was ready to pounce.
“What can I do for you today, Sergeant,” I asked.
“Same as always, Donovan.”
“Not a problem. Go ahead and sit on the patio, I’ll take it to you when it’s re...

Today’s snippetcomes from the opening scene in my current #WIP, which is a sequel of sorts to my free read, . In this new short story, we will meet Daniel and Ford almost three years later.
I haven’t re-introduced Ford yet. This exchange is between Daniel and his shipmate, MR2 Donahue. Enjoy!
He shook his head in disbelief and continued working on the engraving. Donahue might be a man, but Daniel had standards too.
“Come on. I’m ready to get lei’d. Get it? Lei’d, like laid.”...

Ready? Let’s Get Organized…
Since I had to go out of town unexpectedlylast week, today is going to be an organization day.

But, I’m really excited about the next couple of short storieson deck.
And don’t let m...
