A black cloud of misunderstanding had descended over them while Darcy’s mother followed her from room to room; silently crashing into the exasperated sighs she kept throwing over her shoulder. Time to change tactics she mused. “Mom!” she stopped abruptly and spun around, “Stop being so… so… sooooo pedantic about this!” Darcy savored the satisfied…

The Beau of the Blue Hairs {Write on Edge, Studio30+, Trifecta}
This image courtesy of F3D3.86 via Flickr Creative Commons Mr. Abernathy had a deliberate gait. He did not stride or stroll. Instead his walking stick tapped out his arrival like Morse code on the linoleum near the nurse’s station. His bow tie was magenta, a crisp white shirt peeked out from beneath a…

April Fool? {Master Class/Trifecta}
April woke up, startled and half dressed.

Forever & Always {Trifextra}

Lucky in Love? {Trifecta, Write on Edge}
Leo Pontevorvo’s name was misleading and that posed a problem. At eighteen, his voice had finally settled into the baritone that it had flirted with since eight grade and his 6’1 frame was sinewy and muscular, complimenting his chiseled face and light blue eyes that seemed to waver between the hue of the sky and…
Laying the Groundwork: {Trifextra}

Trifextra asked us to interpret this quote from The Alchemist in 33 words. “It’s the possibility of having a dream…
Jekyll & Hide {Write On Edge, Trifecta, Studio30+}
