Two lonely people – a wealthy gentleman of the law and an impoverished young woman of writerly intent – come together for a specified period of time. He means to assuage his thwarted carnality while she thinks to fill a decidedly sexual void in her education. Neither anticipates anything more profound than erotic satisfaction from their association and yet…and yet…something happens.
And the agreed upon period of time doesn’t seem nearly long enough.
To either of them.

Thanks for visiting me on the web. I've been simplifying a lot in my life (or trying at least) including these pages. That's a continuing effort, so expect more changes over the next few weeks and months. I'm experimenting with a design that I think cleaner and more direct.
You'll find a listing of my books with synopses, excerpts and, in some cases, background information about the inspiration for the book with links to more information on the settings, time periods and material related to the stories. I'm working on it.
I am hopeful that this new organization will allow me more time for those things I have neglected, like a blog - one I have retitled
"Random Musings" - because it covers just about any subject that happens to be on my mind. Believe me, that's pretty random stuff.

Honestly, I'm not great at maintaining a social media presence. Between writing and having a life outside of that... gardening, traveling, enjoying familiy and a host of other things, my attention is focused in other areas but... if you are a social media fan or find it easier to stay in touch that way, here is where you'll find me. I'll do my best in the future to keep you up to date with what's happening with me. Given what's happened since whatshisname has taken Twitter or X or what have you, I have no desire to use that space, so there's one less social media obligation to maintain.
