First Chapter – Laying of Hands

First Chapter – Laying of Hands

Adel Rosse wedged her luggage into the cramped glass vestibule in the Lockwood Planned Parenthood in upstate New York, her laptop bag slipping from her shoulder to dangle from the crook of her arm as she pressed the entry buzzer.

First Chapter of Wild Wales

Aisling parked her convertible under the stars and started up the steep stone staircase leading to Dalwart Abbey, a fifteenth-century Scottish monastery perched at the tip of the cliffs jutting out over the Atlantic Ocean. The moon hovered like liquid silver over the sea as she climbed, and as she got to the top and …

Havana

Havana

I felt the scrape of my own whisper against the brick walls of the alley. …Be brave.  A group of people pass as I bite my lip and turn back toward the wall, the air around them soaked in rum vapor and the penetrating haze of heat that hovers over Havana. …Live an unusual life. Four minutes …

Fuck.

Fuck.

It’s not a fucking shock. I’m the turn of the page…Not the fairytale.  Why didn’t I take my own advice? The fairytale is a myth. At least for me.  You’ll find this truth in an earlier entry on this site; perhaps you’ve already read it. I knew this, roughly two and a half years ago, and …

Her.

Her.

She was drinking a martini, relatively dirty, nothing crazy. Another writing conference, dry as church dust, and the most interesting part of it was clinking against the glass in my hand. I bought her another when I went to get my own, and she didn’t say thank you. Just pulled me with her eyes from …

Last First Kiss – The First Chapter…

Chapter One Parker Haven wound her way through the brick streets, the early autumn rain lifting the wet stone scent of the cobblestones to her nose as she turned to avoid the crush of bodies coming toward her. The backstreets of Salerno were always crowded, but this morning there was a throng of people pressing …

Innis Harbor Readers Ask….

I’m currently sitting by the fire outside my tiny house in the woods, where I wrote most of my latest release, Innis Harbor. I’ve received several questions from readers about the book, so now seems a good time to answer them. Ready? Let’s go. You describe Loch as an androgynous character. Was she inspired by …

I’m Not Usually One To Rant, But…..

I’m reading a current book from one of my favorite authors, and she described one of the characters as …. “overly butch.” This is not a Sapphire author, and she’s very successful and well known, but how can someone be “overly butch?”Why is being very butch, or very femme, somehow a negative?
