Exposure - Chapter Two
Howdy! I initially had no intention of making Exposure anything more than a short story, but I found the characters compelling, and it seems others found them so as well! So, before I fly off to my 7-day vacation cruise tonight, here is the...
Winter Help – Chapter Nine
Bedtime came early that night, for the next morning we'd have to get up an hour early in order to make it to church on time. Bubba's arm curled around me protectively, and for the first time I felt no hesitation about pulling it tighter around...
Exposure - Chapter Five
Dox was looking in Jason's general direction, but his mind was wrapped up in hs daydream. It was a good one, involving Jason, a blanket, a picnic lunch, and a warm spring day. Dox sighed contentedly and let his jaw rest on his paw, his lunch...
Exposure - Chapter Ten
Chapter Ten. They walked to the gym side by side, Jason in his letter jacket and Dox in Jason's extra shirt. It happened to be one of Dox's favorites, an outrageously garish tropical shirt with palm trees and hula dancers on it. It didn't look as good...
Exposure - Chapter Eight
"Good, now... hold it..." Jason was taking pictures of Dox, who was sitting, of course, on a white concrete bench. Clicking off several frames, he checked his work on the camera's built-in monitor, nodding to himself with satisfaction. "That's...
Exposure - Chapter Seven

Worlds Apart - Chapter One
Dan wrapped his fingers around the knurled steel bar and pushed against it. He didn't want to move it yet, he just wanted to feel its cold, solid weight against his palms. Taking deep breaths, he gathered his energy and focused his attention on what...
Filling the Void - Chapter One
This is the first chapter of the series, Filling the Void, a collaboration between myself and VictusLupus. It occurs in the Beneath the Skin universe, in parallel with Bo and Dan. We've been working on this for a couple of years now, and he's created...
Exposure - Chapter Six
Chapter Six. "You still feel like coming over?" Dox said, uncertainly. "Sure," Jason said, unable to keep a small groan of pain from emerging as he pulled his shirt over his head, "why wouldn't I?" Dox didn't...
Winter Help - Chapter One
Welcome! This is something I wrote a while ago, thinking back to my time in rural Texas. I thought I'd put it up here for folks to read while I finish getting my next story ready for publication. It's in nine chapters (or ten, I can't...
A Chance of Showers - Part Twelve
This is the final chapter in the series. Thank you so much for reading along - I've truly enjoyed the experience!...
