A Trip to the Hardware Store: Part V

There was another heavy sigh while Darrin stood there, leaning back against the wall and gestured to the crazed duo fighting over what had once been a whicker basket or some piece of shit decoration that he just really didn’t give a flying fuck about.

“Would someone please do something before they destroy the entire store?” the manager demanded, but Reese noticed that the bastard hugging his arm to his chest wasn’t manning up and going in for a second attempt to break this up.

“What would you suggest?” Reese asked dryly as he leaned back against the wall near his… Read More

A Trip to the Hardware: Part IV

“What are we here to get again?” Haley absently asked as her eyes locked on the cute Disney lawn statues that she’d ever seen.

“Umm, I think it was bulbs or something,” Zoe said from right beside her as her attention was drawn to Bambi and Thumper, who would most likely be decorating one of their lawns by the end of the day.

If Haley had her way, it would be hers,… Read More

A Hollywood Heart’s Valentine…

“Can I help you, sir?” the sales woman that he’d been praying wouldn’t notice him asked as she walked over to join him.

Ducking his head and berating himself for being a fucking moron, Edward rubbed the back of his neck as he shot a quick glance towards the exit, wondering if he could make it there before-

“Oh my God! Are you Edward Pierce?” the woman squealed.

Great.

Just fucking… Read More

A Trip to the Hardware Store: Part III

“How exactly is this supposed to guarantee that we never have to worry about running boring man-type errands again?” Zoe had to ask as she parked the car in front of what she liked to deem, “One of those stores on hell put here on earth just to torment women and bore them to death.”

Haley rolled her eyes and shook her head as though it really should be more than obvious why they were there. “This is the ultimate insult to men,” Haley announced with a self-satisfied sigh as Zoe just sat there, blinking at the blue and white… Read More

Excerpt from one of the Anger Management Novels

Carly pulled the lollipop out of her mouth with a soft “plop” as she leaned forward to whisper to the woman who was a cross between Mary Poppins and the Pillsbury Dough Boy. “Is she making you nervous?”

The Mary Poppins/Pillsbury Dough Boy straightened to her impressive height of five-foot-one and with a huff, put her nose up in the air as she pointedly ignored Carly. Not that Carly could blame the woman. With the insane amount of money that was being offered for this particular job she was willing to overlook the fact that their potential employer, a woman… Read More

A Trip to the Hardware Store: Part II

“What exactly are we looking for?” Haley whispered, barely moving her mouth as she threw the cranky store clerk a quick glance to make sure that he was still reminiscing about all the good times he used to have with his sister-in-law when his wife went out of town with some guy that apparently was quite well-acquainted with said sister-in-law.

“I-I don’t know,” Zoe admitted after a few seconds, keeping her eyes locked on row after row of small little cardboard boxes with shinny, little metal things that neither one of them had any clue what they… Read More

A Trip to the Hardware Store: Part I

“I’ll fix it when I get home, sweetheart,” Trevor promised with a quick kiss and a smile.

Zoe opened her mouth to argue, but she knew that he had a busy day ahead of him. So, instead of bugging him to fix the kitchen light before he left so that she could see what she was cooking without having to squint, she simply rose up on her toes, gave him a hug and a kiss goodbye that almost led them back upstairs to the bedroom, or her bent over the kitchen table, and reluctantly handed over the large cooler packed… Read More

Future of the Chronicles are up to you

Right now I am torn between continuing the Chronicles as they are, or make them a little different.

My idea, the weekly Chronicles be turned into a chapter from a book. Think of it as what Charles Dickson did with A Christmas Carol. Thing about it, every year, a chapter from the book would be released. At the end of the year the book would be put together and sold online for 2.99. This could be a new series, paranormal, contemporary or fantasy.

I am leaving this vote up to you. You can vote here or on FB.

Survival: A Neighbor from Hell Chronicle

“Make sure that you tell the kids how much I love them,” Jason said, pausing to cough weakly as he pulled the covers up to his chin.

“Jason, I-”

“And I know that after I die that you’ll eventually want to start dating again and even consider marriage,” he said, cutting her off with an accusatory glare as though she was already considering it, “but ignore those feelings and continue mourning me until your dying day.”

At this point Haley really had to fight the urge to roll her eyes, because this was just getting pathetic.

“And make sure that they bury me… Read More

Good Intentions Gone Bad…

“Uncle Jason, there are two men at the door,” Johnny explained calmly, which he would admit freaked him out a bit, because when the twins were calm it was because they were already coming up with a way to fuck someone over for their own entertainment.

Basically they were Bradfords who’d peaked early.

“What time is it?” Jason asked, forcing his tired eyes open so that he could glare at the alarm clock until the fuzzy figures that he was seeing started to make… Read More
