Stories

This was an amusing project Skinnydragon and I started almost a year ago. In it, characters from two of our stories spent a day together. Skinny asked me to complete the story, but it has taken me a long time to do so.

A college student puts his life at risk by standing up against hate.

The story of the Castaway Hotel continues, but this time with Danny relaying the story and taking charge. How will things go as the Hotel continues to add new residents?

Here is where you will find my attempt at the poetry prompts.. Note, there's emphasis on attempt..

Three years ago, Reed's bad decisions cost him his relationship. Now, does he have the courage to try again?

Ray Johnson never knew love, but once his 18th birthday rolls around...Fate pushes together even those who are millions of miles apart.

Crete is an ancient land of mysteries and myth. Sometimes myths are not myths at all.

Summer vacation had started out well for Derry and Caleb. There was much to occupy two adventurous boys in the rural landscape in which they lived. They had the woods, and the fields, and the waterways to occupy them.

And they had each other.

But then they made a discovery - a strange place hidden in the forest, a pathway to lands beyond description. And suddenly, the summer was not quite so simple any longer.

We met Maurice and David in The Watcher. This story stands alone, but it might be more enjoyable if you read The Watcher first. These are two men of a seasoned vintage, and both, separately, have suffered great loss. This is a quick peek into their lives a month after a fateful meeting in the park.

These are the original, annual, New Year's letters that I sent to my friends from 1993 to 2001. That was from two years after I moved into the building to a year-and-a-half after I left.

As mentioned, the letters were the basis for the book, and they often overlap the same material. But they cover more time and more characters, and are sometimes funnier because they're more compressed and somewhat more rude.
