Welcome!
This corner of of my site contains fiction free for my readers. You’ll find something new, whether it’s an addition to my best-selling series Tales of the River Vine, a character dialogue, an excerpt from an upcoming novel, or a stand-alone story I just felt like writing because the idea sounded too good not to do. xxxx Please be sure to let me know what you think in the comments section! I’d be happy to write about your favorite character, or try to apply your suggestions in an upcoming story.
