We are now less than a month away from Surrey. I’m focusing on the important things to get ready. Wardrobe. A few weeks ago I was in Name Droppers. It’s a high end consignment shop. In other words, it’s a used clothing store. I bought two shirts and four pairs of pants. They were clearing…

It’s been kind of an odd week. The boss thinks I’m coming along well so he gave me some new duties. I like the overtime, but getting in at two or three in the morning is kind of wearing me out. Sometimes I feel like a vampire. I should be working on Paladin more, but…

In this scene, Brother Miron is remembering a time in his youth as a young captain. They think the cave they’ve found is an answer to prayer. Little did they know what waited for them there. Excerpt from PALADIN’S PRIDE. His hand trembled as he poured a small glass of wine and opened the letter…

This time we swapped out stories and I do apologize to Blogless who authored this fun piece. It’s supposed to be coastline not cloastline and a few other gaffs. Even so I hope you enjoy his story. I loved reading it. Powered by Podbean.com Blogless Reading
