    About this ebook

    "He played with the music, exaggerating his movements. I relaxed. We played. The music a barrier drawing us closer. He placed a hand on my waist and took my other hand. Our hips brushed against each other. More intimate than foreplay"

    Would Naomi find the kind of love she was looking for or was she just another hopeless romantic with a bad taste in men?

    Dragon Rising is one of a collection of short stories that is at times tragic, often funny and even ridiculous, but quite simply the tales are about love and life and just that.

      The Duplex

      Jun 9, 2020

      I moved to Los Angeles to sing. When was this? August? June? I was twenty-nine, and those were shapeless months, when the days blended together and I refused to pull them apart. My landlord was unusually close to her adult son. His name was Jeffrey,

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n
