When someone dies without ever having experienced the joy of it, never really had someone love them in their heart, it leaves…well an ache, an echo if you will. It's a void of regret and sadness that...
Wyn noticed Jace had what appeared to be a copy of Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone. He smiled to himself.
Yeah, that’s it! There’s these gorgeous paintings on the arches. Now, they ain’t my cup o’ java, mind ya, but it’s gotta be high class, cause one them women’s topless, and ain’t nobody pays her no att...
A tall, leggy French girl on her way to work was looking at her phone and almost walked into me as I crossed the street. I dodged her just in time and she glanced back to give me a dirty look. How dar...
Another tear rolled slowly down her cheek, like liquid pain escaping from her broken heart.
But I refused. One Ranger, One riot, as the slogan went, and a Ranger always tells the truth. Grandpa had had a bigger influence on me than I knew. They couldn't really fire me, but I agreed to leave...
Even with all Caroline had lost and forgotten, she knew a lot about archaeology and past civilizations. I often wondered if knowing all those things, only saddened her that she couldn’t remember the r...
Her face, especially those lovely eyes, filled with amusement. She whispered, Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? I laughed and she couldn’t help but join me. There was something restful a...
Hill City and Hayward is as close to that area as I’ve ever been. It was a long time back, when it was pretty dangerous. I was on my way to Cheyenne at the time, and in a hurry to get there. I was non...
I became mad for a time, wanting to dig her up just to be certain she was dead. Once, I even had the shovel in my hand. But then I knew I could not let her suffer the indignity of a man who had lost h...
I had to drive through a very poor and largely Hispanic section of Miami to get to the apartment complex where Casey Martin had died. There were a lot of beautiful women on the sidewalks and at the ou...
I took the photos with me and heard Lucija making the call. As I closed the door behind me, I caught the scent of death from the patio, carried on the breeze moving the branches of the olive trees.

I wondered how in the world I could possibly sleep now, knowing a wonderful girl who loved me was just down the hall. Slipping into Johnny's pajamas, I figured I might as well see what Perry and Della...

It was the question I kept coming back to, the one I couldn't answer. I had begun to believe again in the miracles about which I wrote, but now that faith had been shaken. Was God asking if I still be...
Many men along the trail would discover that a man unafraid of death is the most dangerous man alive. Wyn could never be afraid of death, because he had already died, that night, so long ago.
She began to run again, her legs shaky, her head throbbing, fear reaching into the pit of her stomach and making it difficult to breathe. Pieces of...people littered the street like gruesome confetti....
She hadn’t smiled, just watched him cautiously as he got out of his truck and approached. Buford couldn’t blame her. It was lonely here at this time of morning and he realized he must look suspicious....
