Short Stories

I’m usually playing around with a short story or two. My problem is, I enjoy digging deep into a character, so my short stories tend to become long stories…novellas…and even “novels-in-waiting”!

The stories listed here are essentially finished and available for publication.


“Re-Ignited”

Eleven years.
Thirteen since they’d been lovers.
It was like another lifetime — a different person.

When Tess re-connects with her college boyfriend, she finds herself re-thinking life’s choices and fighting a battle against the immense magnetism that still exists between them. Will she put her marriage in jeopardy for a second chance with Brandon? (Fair warning: Re-ignited is Rated R due to sexual content.)


“The Heroes Left Behind”

“Our soldiers need more support,” Butch announced.

There was a general murmur among the Klinger family adults who languished on the resort’s large patio.

Aiden knew what was coming next — and the other family members, although cordial, could not be counted on to come to her aid…

Aiden lost her husband to the Iraq war. Mark lost his wife to infidelity. Is it only natural they should seek solace in each other regardless of their family relationship? What happens when their struggle to come to terms with their losses are at odds with other family members’ beliefs?
