acceptance - Stories

A forbidden, slow-burn wedding saga about a mouthy younger brother and the man he was never supposed to want.

Life is filled with surprises. We are constantly reminded that we are at the mercy of the universe; from the people we meet, to the events that shape us, to the places we find ourselves in. If we are among the lucky ones we will find our place in the world, and someone to share it with, and life will be sweet. But even then, everything is subject to change, and we either roll with the flow, or find ourselves fighting against the tide, because you just never know what might come at you from out of the blue.

Martin is still feeling the effects of an acrimonious divorce and more recently the death of his mother.

He receives an email that could be a scam. It triggers events that upend just about everything Martin believes about himself. His path forward is not going to be smooth. Can he navigate this new life to make friends, find love and reestablish a family?

Yet another collection of poetry, added to as the mood or fancy strikes me. I hope you enjoy at least some of it.

One week after their first encounter Leo meets up with the two brothers Sam and Kenny to escape to the lake in Hadley Woods. Leaving behind suburbia, and in a quiet secluded spot, they pass the day together sunbathing. The shared intimacy and shared secrets solidify what has become a "secret society of three."

Some choices are within our control, while some are not. Life is about acceptance and balance... and living with consequences as we look forward and back.

They say that those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it. With that in mind, what would lead Martin Niemoller to write a version for today?

One encounter is all it takes for old feelings to come flooding back, making it impossible to pretend the past never happened. As the reception unfolds, Jace is forced to face just how much he's still carrying and, maybe, what he still wants.

In a world, where humans and orcs are forced to live in symbiosis, Karl has to face the harsh truth: he is not the one deciding his fate.

The only thing he can do is make plans for what comes after he got an answer to whether or not the orcs will take his sister Mathilda as tithe or not...
