Deleted Scenes

There are scenes that authors write that they truly love and want to share with readers. Every once in a while, however, one of these scenes ends up on the cutting-room floor. No matter how many plot convolutions or character contortions I make to try to keep it in, it simply doesn’t fit. But it doesn’t have to be relegated to the computer’s recycle bin. I hope you enjoy them.

› “The Bachelor Auction” from The Hungry Heart: Up until the very last draft, this was the opening scene for the book.

Short Stories

A mishmash of stories, some romance some not.

› Four Hundred & Thirty-Seven Days: A cheating wife awaits the return of her war hero husband.  (1,255 words)
