(click the image to go to Angela’s page and check out all of the other wonderful Visual Dare entries!) It was just a kiss, but she had been the one.  The one whose patience ran out and he smiled as she looked away flushed with embarrassment. “I am sorry I’m not who you want meContinue reading “VisDare 5: Obscure”

Previous Flower Blossom Post Ayiana knew the look, Byrne with his glasses pulled down to the tip of his nose.  He leaned against his cane and wheezed with each breath from a hard life.  His jaw stood firm as another man spoke but she kept her eyes on his.  Neither of the two paid muchContinue reading “Flower Blossom: Planting Seeds”

You are no one. Engraved in ink across his arm, he had hit bottom.  Pathetic and lost.  It had been the worst thing to happen to him and his own fault.  Regrets he would have to live with the rest of his life. No one to turn to, he’d kept anyone who pretended to beContinue reading “VisDare 4: Steps”

So…my goal for the year was supposed to be edit.  A whole lot of editing.  As I ended 2012, I was working on a flashback in the 2nd Ulysses book and for some reason today I found myself wanting to return to it.  As when I was working on it before there was always somethingContinue reading “Ulysses Flashback”

My entry into Meg McNulty’s Masquerade blog hop 🙂 And the picture I used as inspiration for my entry (funny it isn’t the picture that made me want to write for this blog hop). Tell No One! It was the first rule and the hardest to keep.  Nathan had spent the month since the mysteriousContinue reading “Moonlight Masquerade”

Be Inspired Blog Hop…  Howling Moon I said I was going to do this back in the summer for all of my current full manuscripts…I only did it for Ulysses and I figured it is time I should do it for Howling Moon.  Mostly because it is the novel I am concentrating on the mostContinue reading “Be Inspired Blog Hop… Howling Moon”

No Prompt….was just hit with a bit of inspiration this morning and felt like posting it….  Don’t own the picture, found it on goggle.  🙂 Unexpected Storm Snow fell at a perfect speed; the forecast had only called for overcast skies and a chance of flurries.  None were prepared for the coat that now covered theContinue reading “Unexpected Storm”
