Due to some really good feedback, I've taken the original Gloria story, ended it earlier with a new ending and continued on with a completely new chapter as Gloria, at the age of sixty-five, goes back home for her 50th class reunion and a reunion with Jack. The synopsis on the new stories page said 80th reunion--should've been 50th (my typo error).
Do you remember your first time? Your senior prom? Gloria sure does and she wants to share her first time memory: first love and the first time to “go all the way” with that first love. She’s pretty candid about it, too. Have a look see for yourself.

...I feel more alive when I’m writing than I do at any other time—except when I’m making love. Two things when you forget time, when nothing exists except the moment—the moment of writing, the moment of love. That perfect concentration is bliss.”

Quite a few readers of my stories, dare I call them fans, are asking about sequels to some of the stories I’ve written. The simple answer is: I don’t normally do sequels.
Sequels, at least for me, don’t usually do very well. I don’t know why, at least not for sure. I usually lose interest in a particular story line after it’s finished. Also, a lot of my stories don’t lend themselves easily to a sequels. I usually write stand alone, finished pieces. I just don’t plan on sequels.
There are exceptions to my rule as there are to most rules. Once in a while I get a thing going and can’t seem to end it and it goes past 10,000 words. There are two such multi chapter stories posted here so far. I have an eight or nine chapter story completed that I’m editing and re-editing at the current time. It may eventually find its way here.
That story is my Route 66 saga that is currently running in chapter serials on another site. The story isn’t getting all that many downloads. I’ve almost lost interest in it as a result and concentrate more on my stand alone/complete in one chapter stories.
Thanks for reading what I do write and for asking about more.
My wife and I just attended my fiftieth high school class reunion on July 11-12. Since it’s reunion time of year, that inspired me to dig out an old class reunion story I’d written quite some time ago, re-edit same, and submit it for posting. My reunion experience was quite different (completely tame) from that of Mary Jane. Ah, but one can fantasize, endlessly.
THE STORY
Mary Jane flies home to attend her twentieth high school class reunion. Throughout the evening, the class “round heels” renews her old reputation and then some. Several old girlfriends try to keep up with her, but it’s no contest. Mary Jane is the Queen Slut.
