CHAPTER 13: LICENSE & TITLE PLEASE - Conclusion

The real reason Jazz decided to stay in the dorm on Saturday was that she expected Al to call. He had to work Friday night, but she thought for sure he’d call on Saturday, maybe bring flowers. After all, they’d made love. By late afternoon she began to worry, and she felt sore and crampy. She needed... Sign in to see full entry.

CHAPTER 13: LICENSE & TITLE, PLEASE - cont'd

Jake pulled a pack of Camels from his shirt pocket and headed for the smoking porch. He lit up, walked to the edge and stepped into the alley.

I need a place to crash. My cousin’s coming from Boise to pick me up, but he can’t get here until tomorrow.”... Sign in to see full entry.

“No, but... I didn’t come here for this,” she said. “I don’t ….” “Okay, if that’s how you want to play it. Tour’s over, baby. Button your shirt. Go.” “Al, don’t be mad. I’ve never.... I mean I don’t know.” “I know when I’m not wanted,” he said. “You know I want to. It’s just...” “Never mind, Baby,... Sign in to see full entry.

CHAPTER 12 – BREAKING UP IS HARD, cont'd

Al Cummings and Jesse Stuart had been assigned to recover the key bangle Marian Godfrey had given Jake weeks earlier at Lincoln’s Beard. But that was no longer job one. Once the names on Matt Nichols’ incriminating email were exposed in the university’s student newspaper, their mission changed. They... Sign in to see full entry.

From my FB Page

HOLLYHOCKS Years ago I lived on Hale Ave in the Leclaire neighborhood. We had hollyhocks that bloomed along the back of the lot, tall green spikes of little trumpet-shaped red blooms. When I moved away in the fall of '93, I took a packet of hollyhock seeds that I'd gathered there along with me,... Sign in to see full entry.

More of the story later. For now, some filthy politics

I resigned from a conservative church some 49 years ago when it became apparent to me the members were inherently bigoted. There were no persons of color in the congregation, none dropped in on occasion. Racist jokes were shared at routine Bible Study classes. There was not a hair's-breadth margin...

In Lieu of Politics, Boring Health Issues, and The Weather

I've decided to post some revisions from my novel "Waltzing With Zombies," a spy thriller in which 'average' citizens get involved in a counter-intelligence operation.
