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
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.

I enjoyed this, made me think about my own Dad.
This was actually hard for me to write, but it was something I felt I needed to slip into a story at some point. I’m glad you liked it.
The things that make us feel the most are the very ones that come across to the readers the best.
