I wrote this small short story, "The Return", for the Woman's Day magazine here in Australia and I've always had a really soft spot for it. The hero has returned from Waterloo wounded in body and soul and convinced he's lost any claim to the heroine's love. She, as you'll see, has other ideas!

This book is completed, and I am now posting it here. I love this book so much. I wrote it on a whim. Like literally, the first chapter was supposed to be the only one, but here we are. I'm not really sure what time period this is, but it is historical fiction.Concluida
A Collection of Short Stories
Trying out what writing feels like here and there with a few small stories. They can either be lighthearted or serious. Some romantic others not, hopefully I'll write one that you might like.
The Incident of a Love Story

But when the requirements to marry the love of his life is a lolaba too large for him to give, there's only one thing he can do; go west. It's there he realizes that to back east costs more money than he has. It's there he asks himself; Will I ever see her again? ***there are some characters that are based off of characters from the television shows Rawhide and the Virginian. i do not own them (tho i wish i did!) and please, comments are very helpful! my feelings are durable, and critizism is much appreciated!Concluida
Hold My Hand
Regency era, alternative story about Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker. Sidney's mother is pushing him to marry and marry well to save the family from ruin. His pursuit is Mrs. Campion, a wealthy widow with a horrible personality. On the verge of asking her to marry him, he goes on a hunting trip to clear his head. What happens on this hunting trip changes his path in life forever. Sidney POV When I first had the idea for this story, I pictured a bear attacking Sidney. But doing research I found that bears are not common wild animals in England. I'm American and live in a state where bears are common. In doing research, I found that in the regency era there were wild cats that were referred to as phantom cats, panthers, jaguars, or leopards. Although, some accounts claim there is no such thing and stories were exaggerated. Anyway, for story purposes, this phantom cat exists. I know it may not sound realistic, but as I said before, there were stories about these wild cats in some of my research. I also came across stories of the aristocratic and higher class bringing these exotic animals to England to show off and look grander to others. It reminded me of someone purchasing a dog as a puppy, thinking it'll be great. Then months later realizing these cute puppies grow up and destroy your home and chew everything up. I pictured a rich woman insisting she have one of these pure black cats on one of her many voyages to far off lands and her rich husband buying her the exotic animal. Then as this cat grew and suddenly the realization that it's a wild animal and could potentially kill someone, these high society people may just decide to let the animal go in the woods to fend for himself. Now this cat is alone in a land he doesn't belong and trying to survive, perhaps resenting man for the cruel way he was treated. Now I feel sorry for the panther. Anyway, that's the backstory on the panther and why it may be in a place it's not supposed to be.Concluida

Jo and Laurie: A Re-telling of the Re-telling
After reading "Jo and Laurie" by Stohl and De La Cruz, I was unsatisfied. In this tale, I have taken some elements of their plotline and made it my own. This is how I would have wanted the re-telling to look like, a lot more relationship building, character building, and reality. I intend to give Jo and Laurie the "Hollywood ending" we all dream of, while still making the story feel real.Concluida
