Stripping out of his clothes, Blaine grabbed up his soap, shampoo, and a towel and headed towards the edge of the lake. He was not really worried too much about privacy, he was in a fairly secluded area and the nearest campsite that was in use was a couple miles away. He should know, he walked and drove through those same woods every day. Setting all of his things on a rock near the edge, Blaine waded in until he was waist deep before diving in. After surfacing, he swam with strong, sure str

Definitely worth the read, but I'm sitting here trying to figure out what was wrong with Joel! Loving the story so far and now getting ready to go read Part III!

Really enjoyed Part 1 of this story! I love your characters, though I think my favorite part is the no stakes for the tent! I learned a long time ago to always set up a new tent before taking it anywhere to use, because I had that exact same thing happen to me at one point! Good job and now on to Part 2!!!

Hi James! Thank you so much for taking the time to review! I have a confession to make on this story, lol... I decided less than a week before Christmas that I wanted to release a Christmas story... I had already thought about continuing Jared and Kyle's story. I ended up writing "Eternal Christmas" in right around four days. I plan to eventually revisit this story and do a bit of a rewrite and so I will keep your advice in mind! Thank you for being willing to point out what you think needs worked on, not many readers do!

Hiya Dark~ Thank you so much for the review... We all have to leave Cliffhangers once in a while, it leaves things interesting and keeps the reader wondering! I'm glad you like the pace in their romance, when I started to write this story, I decided it wasn't going to be a "meet and jump in the sack" kind of story. I hope you enjoy Part II of this chapter which will be posted next Saturday! Thanks again!!!

Richard smiled as he watched Simon lying nestled against him, his chest rising and falling rhythmically in sleep. The past month had been wondrous, but Richard was beginning to feel the need to let his wolf run wild. Unlike most werewolves, he didn’t need to shift that often, but eventually he started to feel unsettled and knew that the time was coming when he’d have to let go and shift. He never risked shifting in the city, always going away for a few days and coming back once his wolf was s

Thanks Jon! Glad you enjoyed the first chapter of the story, the next one will be up next Tuesday!!! ~Renee

Sam, really enjoyed this first chapter and can't wait to read more... definitely want to know more about Zax!

Blaine Riley stepped down from the cab of his Chevy pick-up and glanced around, wondering exactly when it was that his life had gone to such hell. Six months ago everything had been great, he had a great relationship with his parents, he had someone that he loved with no reservations, and he’d had a home to go to every night, who would have thought that things could change so quickly. He looked around at his surroundings and sighed. No matter how much he loved the outdoors he had never figure

When Blaine Riley escapes to the wilderness after a relationship gone bad the last thing on his mind is a new romance. After meeting Levi and being pulled together thanks to a bedraggled puppy, Blaine begins to rethink his stand on relationships. When a serial killer gets thrown into the mix, Blaine's first priority becomes keeping himself and Levi safe. Can they catch the man out to destroy Blaine and Levi or will the killer snuff out the relationship before it even begins.

Wow! The imagery that your words evoke is just... WOW!

I agree with Westie, and I must say this short blurb got a chuckle out of me! Good job!

“Hey babe,” Jared hollered as he walked through the front door of his and Kyle’s three bedroom home in Morgan. “I’m in the office,” he heard Kyle holler back from down the hallway. Jared smiled as he tossed his coat over the back of the love seat in the living room before heading down the hallway to find Kyle going through a stack of papers on his desk. “How’d your day go?” Jared asked as he walked in the room and perched on the edge of the oak desk. “It was extremely long,” Kyle answ

Having settled into their life together, Jared and Kyle decide it's time to adopt and begin the trek of finding children who need a new start with a new family. Can they overcome the obstacles and become father's to some kids who are about to lose their mother?

Depression sometimes hits you Like a cat pouncing at a mouse Or sometimes it creeps up on you Taking all year through. Talk to people about it Maybe a counselor or two But please don't get discouraged If you don't get well right soon. Recall your happy times Maybe sad ones too Compare them all together And choose the happiest ones. Get off the run on course For it only hits dead on You're on your way to recovery And I hope you get well soon.

Found some poems I wrote years and years ago... Have a whole book somewhere and when I find it I will post more. Update: Most that are still in my poem book aren't really shareable, so this collection has now become a combination of old an new.

You know it gets real scary When It's time to say good-bye Whether it's in death Or even when in life. It's not easy to say good-bye It's always really hard When people say its easy But only in their mind. Have they ever said good-bye To someone that they love? I would rather say hello To people up above. I hope you never have to Do what I have done For saying good-bye is really hard When it's to people that you love.

Simon sat staring at the note in his hand, hardly believing what he was reading. He couldn’t understand why Richard wouldn’t have just woken him before leaving the morning after their bowling date. In frustration he read over the words one more time to see if he’d missed anything: Simon~ Had to leave town unexpectedly for work. Not sure how long I’ll be gone but I’ll be back to you just as soon I can. I’ll see you soon. ~Richard *** “Damn that man,” Simon muttered.

I used to use Facebook all the time, but recently I severely cut back on my use... I no longer play any of the games, and like someone said above, I removed a lot of people that I never talked too.... My biggest issue with facebook as of late it that even if you don't want your private life posted for all to see, someone else might decide that it's their right to post in on their pages.... I've been dealing with this a lot over the last few months especially.... Parts of my life that people don't even know about are made up and posted, it's extremely embarrassing at times... I put what I want known up there, but as far as phone numbers and addresses... uh uh, no way! If I want someone to have those, then I'll give it to em myself... I especially think that teens shouldn't even be allowed to post their cell numbers, etc... you never know who's going to get a hold of it... I know a couple of people that their parents didn't care what they did online and suddenly they were getting phone calls from 20+ year olds and they're only 14!

I agree with what Nephy has already said... I am fascinated by some of the characters and worlds that you write about... I know that you find inspiration in so many things, but I love how you manage to come up with something completely original!

It always amazes me how you can write such vivid imagery! The emotions from Velaku are so visual that I can picture exactly what is happening in my head... Thanks Cia!

I've went on a couple... both of them were guys that I met at work (not coworkers though)... the first one was really awkward... the second... well, I've been with him for almost 4 1/2 years, two of them married, so I'd say it worked out good for me!

After a series of chance encounters, Richard and Simon move on to planned encounters and dates, but will what Richard is come between them before they can really even develop a relationship?

Richard stared worriedly at the townhouse in front of him before shutting off his car. It had only been a few days since Simon had agreed to give them a chance and his nerves were beyond fried. He was terrified of doing something that might make Simon regret agreeing to date him He wasn’t accustomed to being so on edge and worried about what somebody else thought of him, and he wasn’t sure he particularly cared for the feeling. Richard nervously ran his hand through his hair as he climbed out of

Epilogue Jared stared at himself in the mirror attached to the top of his and Kyle's dresser. He had always hated suits of any type, but he would do anything he could to make the day that much more special. Jared looked around the apartment, hating the fact that he and Kyle would be leaving it behind soon. Ever since Kyle had proposed to him nearly six months before, they had designed a house and it was in the process of being built. In another four months, when winter set in, they would be sett
