Here is approximately 100 – 150 words from a randomly selected original piece for your enjoyment. These samples may include excerpts from my Eternal Curse Series, but will currently exclude excerpts from EC: Giovanni’s Angel. Please visit the ECS blog to read samples from that installment of the series.

It’s Like the Full Moon chapter 1 (wip)

“I’d like to talk to you in private. Can we take a walk outside?  The rain has stopped.”

“Sure thing Virg.” Becca stood up from the table and walked with Virgil into the hallway. On the way out, she grabbed a light jacket and her umbrella, for just in case.  They walked side by side silently to the end of the long cobble stone driveway that lead up to the cottage. Shyly Virgil reached out to hold Rebecca’s hand, missing the first time, but then catching her embrace as he swung his arm back and forth while inching closer to her. At the end of the driveway, they stood under a blue-tinted downward facing street lamp. The hue and angle of the light didn’t interfere with the glow of the starry sky above and so they had quite a view to share as they began to chat.

“Wow I wish my dad was as crappy as yours if it means getting bling like this,” she said, in her usual joking tone.

Rebecca replied softly with exhaustion, “It is beautiful isn’t it?”

“Yeah, girl. It’s really special.” Lisa turned around crossing her legs and looked around the room. “So I guess this will definitely be a birthday you won’t soon forget will you?”

“No I suppose not,” answered Rebecca.

“Say Becca, when does Teddy finally graduate? It seems like he’s been in school since we were in college?”

“He has miss-oblivious,” snapped Rebecca comically. “He’s only three years younger than us. He’s just finishing up his Master’s degree in Business Economics and he’s already passed the Bar examine. He’s going to be a great finance lawyer. He walks next month”

“Correction!” snapped Lisa. “He’s only two years younger than me; remember I’m not as old as you. I skipped a grade.”

Rebecca began to remember how when she was a little girl, her father would read the Sunday paper to her and emphasize the comics page just for her. After the divorce, on the weekends that she didn’t spend with him, he’d call and read them to her over the phone. As the years went on, Rebecca’s father had become more and more unreliable and forgetful, and always seemed to be too busy. Just when she would get good and mad at him, he’d do something wonderful to win back her heart. All of her family and friends gathered around as her best friend, Lisa, stood in the corner wearing her usual, form fitting bright red eye catching short dress, recording the whole presentation.
