I'm alive!

So... yeah. I forgot to turn off billing for February. Sorry about that. I planned to make an announcement later in the month, but I guess I'm doing it now.

Okay, so... what's going on? Where've I been? Am I okay?

Well, I've been taking a well-earned break for the past 6+ months. I was a little burned out, maybe a...

🏖 June/July Status Update

So, I'm not actually on vacation*, but...

I'm going to take a longer break than I first thought.

Because of this, I suspended payments for July, so you won't be charged this month.

You should still have access to all the past content, and I hope to post more freebies this month, lik...

🙁 I need a break.

I've been putting off this announcement for a couple of days, but...

I need to take a break, at least until the end of the month.

TL;DR, I'm fine. I'm not sick, fed up, or burned out. I just need to take some time for personal reasons.

I have a couple of posts planned to make up for no new s...

Don't Fix It, Chapter 3 (Complete)

Chapter 3

Something made a sound. I struggled toward awareness, but the room was dark and quiet. I drifted on the edge of sleep until I heard it again, a buzz-thump like a wasp banging into a window. I thought it might’ve been a sick child instead, or a dog trying to get my attention. My imagination c...

Don't Fix It, Chapter 3b

Note from Nick: I hope you had a good Memorial Day. Mine was good. Low-key, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially now that Cheeto Jesus is in exile.

Anyway, enough gloating. Here's today's installment.

Enjoy!

Note to Staff: I'm still working on your pre-release. I haven't forgotten. In fact, I was up late working on it, till almost 5 am. I'm a night owl in general, but that's late-late, even for me.

To everyone else: Thanks for putting up with my unpredictable schedule, especially lately. I ...

Chapter 2 (cont’d)

The girls cleaned up after the movie and took their dishes into the kitchen without a fuss. I half-expected the usual stalling tactics, but they headed upstairs to brush their teeth and change into PJs. They were already getting settled when I went up to check on them.

The sound of silence filled the SUV, and I congratulated myself on a brilliant idea. Little barbarians couldn’t drink smoothies and talk up a storm at the same time. On the other hand, visiting queens could use the straw in ways that no straw designer had ever intended. A...

Don't Fix It, Chapter 2a

Chapter 2

Allie and I were making small talk at the kitchen table when I abruptly stopped and cocked an ear. She heard it too, and her eyes widened.

“Is that…?”

“Yep.” The air conditioning had just kicked on.

She shot to her feet and extended a hand to the vent near the ceili...

Don't Fix It, Chapter 1 (Complete)

Chapter 1

I woke up in the guest bedroom, only a couple of inches from the edge of the bed. I could feel the reason behind me, warm and soft. She was nude, too, and still asleep. She must have crowded me all the way across the king-size bed during the night. I wasn’t about to complain, but sleeping wi...

Chapter 1 (cont'd)

We finally left a little after seven thirty, although we had to turn around almost immediately. Susie had forgotten her ballet slippers.

Emily fumed from the middle row until she finally lost it, “Ugh! I told you!”

“Did not!”

“Did so!”

They kept bic...

Don't Fix It, Chapter 1a

Note from Nick: Here we go, book 2 in the Allie series! (Ha! I started to call it a trilogy, but you know me.)

I didn't really like posting spread chapters for the last book, so I'm going to keep them together this time. Weekly installments will end with a scene or chapter break. Some weeks will be shor...

Schedule Update & Miss Li

Time for an update.

I'm still working on the new Allie book, Don't Fix It. The Staff folks just read their first pre-release installment.

I'll start posting the first edited chapters for you in 2 weeks, on Mar 29. That might change, depending on my writing schedule, but that's what I'm aiming for.

Chapter 8

I closed the bedroom door and let out a sigh of relief. The girls were finally in bed, and Allie and I were alone at last.

“Sorry about that. I—”

She kissed me.

I stepped back in surprise, and she pressed her body against mine. Her skin felt hot as she slid her hands un...

Chapter 7

My girls were fine with another sleepover, and Allie’s were more than fine with it. They hadn’t enjoyed the night without A/C any more than she had. They were also excited when they realized she wasn’t wearing her swimsuit under her towel wrap.

“You’re gonna do it?” Madison s...

Chapter 7 (cont’d)

The girls didn’t even notice when we returned to the living room. Part of me was relieved, even though we hadn’t been doing anything naughty. A smaller part was annoyed, since we could’ve been doing something naughty!

Why couldn’t kids be consistent, I wondered. They w...

I tried calling Christy when we got home, but it went straight to voicemail.

“Hey, it’s me,” I said. “I hope you had a good day. Ours was fun. Allie and the girls came over and spent the day. They’re going to spend the night, too.” I kept my voice deliberately neut...

Chapter 6

Allie entered the guest bedroom and then waited as I closed the door. I moved behind her, and she exhaled softly as I put my hand on her right shoulder. Her skin was soft and smooth, covered with freckles almost too faint to see.

I fingered the strap of her swimsuit and then slid it down...

Flirting with Fire, Chapter 6b-7a

Note from Nick: This week is the payoff for last week's cliffhanger. You learn lots of details about Paul's recent past, but most are just teases and tidbits. You'll see. 😈

Chapter 2

On Saturday afternoon, Emily knocked on my door and then stuck her head into the office. I saved my work and automatically checked the time. It was only one o’clock, but she liked to be early.

“Ready to go?” I said, and she nodded. “What about Susie?”

“Her too.”
