Chronicles

Dear Reader…

Dear Reader,

It's hard to believe that after 7 years, Devastated will be here in two days. It's been one of the most difficult books that I've ever written and also one of the most enjoyable books as well. The book has my usual wit, sweetness, and lightheartedness that my other books have, but it also touches on a subject that many people have to deal with It’s been seven years in the making and has gone through a lot of changes, but finally, it’s here and I’m pretty happy with the way that it turned out and the… Read More

Teacher of the Year: Part II Chronicle

“What are you really doing here?” Jason demanded once they were in the hallway.

“I missed you,” Haley said, nodding her head solemnly as she pushed her glasses back up her nose and added, “So much.”

“And the cupcakes?” he asked as his eyes narrowed on the little liar.

“I was hungry.”

“So, you brought cupcakes for the whole class?” he asked, glancing over his shoulder to make sure that his class was staying out of trouble.

“It was the polite thing to… Read More

Teacher of the Year: Part I and A Chance to Win

“I just feel as though you could have put a little more effort in when you decided to cheat,” Jason said, wondering where he went wrong as he glanced up from the quiz that he’d given on the American Revolution to find the student that really should have known better, standing in front of him, looking at a loss for words.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Adam, a kid who really should have known better, said as he did his best to try to appear innocent.

“Look,” Jason said, tossing the quiz back on his desk with a sigh,… Read More

Daddy’s Little Girl: Part IV

“Explain to me how this happened again,” Kasey said as Trevor, who was wondering what the hell was taking them so long, struggled to keep Mikey’s arm still.

“I don’t need stitches!” Mikey yelled, somewhat desperately as she continued to try to squirm her way free so that she could make another run for it.

“Yes, you do,” Sebastian said, sighing heavily as he shifted to get more comfortable from where he lay across her legs, trying to keep them pinned to the bed.

“We are no longer speaking, sir!” Mikey said with a… Read More

Daddy’s Little Girl: Part VIII & The Latest News About Devastated

“There’s no reason to panic,” Mikey said and if she hadn’t said that as her legs gave out, he probably would have believed her.

“Oh, that can’t be good,” Cole said, rubbing his trembling hands down as his face as he stared down at Mikey while Jonathan, who’d decided to come help them after he’d spotted them walking to the baseball field on his way home, mumbled, “There’s so much blood.”

“I’m fine,” Mikey said, nodding to herself as Sebastian carefully lowered her to the ground.

“And all this blood?” Sebastian asked, looking paler by the second as Trevor knelt by her… Read More

Daddy’s Little Girl: Part VII….An R.L. Mathewson Chronicle

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Elizabeth mumbled, staring down at the bag of gumdrops in her lap that told him everything that he needed to know.

“There’s nothing to talk about,” Jason said, sounding bored as he absently shifted Mikey over his shoulder.

“Good,” his baby girl said after a slight hesitation.

“Since I’m no longer needed here, I’d really like to go join the others for that lovely stroll around the baseball fields,” Mikey said, making his lips twitch as he stood up and extended his hand towards his baby girl.

“Let’s go,” he said, wiggling his fingers… Read More

Excerpt from Devastated: An Anger Management Novel

“Oh, my god, please make it stop,” Kylie muttered with a tragic sigh as her cell phone continued to chime.

She wanted to cry.

She really did, but crying would require energy that she didn’t have right now. Besides, she was going to need all her energy to drag herself out of bed and see what the horrible man wanted.

Why did she have to sign those papers?

Damn Big Daddy and his love of…

Well, she wasn’t exactly sure what he’d been on when he’d burned the apartment building down, but whatever it was she cursed it for putting her in this situation.… Read More

Daddy’s Girl Part VI

“Hold up.”

“Just please leave me alone,” Elizabeth mumbled sadly as she hugged the grocery bag filled with the one thing that let him know just how bad this was tightly against her chest as she headed towards the old park bench by the kiddie playground.

“Can’t do that,” Cole said, quickly catching up with his little sister.

“I don’t feel like talking about it,” she said as she sat down.

“That’s fine,” Cole said, joining her.

“I’m serious, Cole,” she said, looking sadder than he’d ever seen her.

“I know you are,” Cole said, leaning back with a sigh as he glanced… Read More

Daddy’s Little Girl: Part V

“I think she’s mad at you,” Mikey said, looking thoughtful as she reached up and wiped more mud from her face as her accomplice sat by her side, nodding in agreement.

“Which one,” Jason said, glancing to the small group to his right to find his daughter, wife, aunts, cousins’ wives, and Mac all glaring at him.

“All of them,” Mikey said only to wince when Duncan, who was also glaring at him, applied more antiseptic to the cut on Mikey’s arm.

“It really wasn’t your fault,” Sebastian said, sounding bored as he placed his iPad on the counter next to where… Read More
