I still have six chapters in the hands of my editor, but have high confidence they will be here in plenty of time. So, Monday morning, I'm posting chapters 1 and 2 of Things I Never Told My Wife-The true confessions of a Shakespearean player. Thereafter a new chapter every three days. The full blurb wouldn't fit in the story description, so here's the back of the book blurb.
I met my soulmate when I was sixteen.
Of course, I never told my wife about that.
Actor, director, and admitted cad, Terry Reichert has led a life filled with colorful-and beautiful-women. From his deflowering while skinny dipping to holding the love of his life as she died, from actresses to students, from stage crew to strangers-Terry never met a woman he wasn't interested in taking to another level.
And during all this, he is a respected professor, industry professional, husband, and father who could honestly say, "I never went looking."
"Don't tell me you are going to use the tired old excuse that she made you do it'," said Claire.
"No! Don't be silly. No one made me do anything. She just made it easy to do," I answered.
Welcome the world of things Terry never told his wife.
This story is strictly for fun. There's a little sex in nearly every chapter. There's no story code for 'philanderer.' It's all Ma/Fa or mt/ft with an occasional threesome tossed in. I tried to keep even the sad parts uplifting and a little funny. Don't mistake me. There is a sad part in one chapter, but the effect on Terry's life is profound.
This story is a total of 20 chapters. And if Pixel the Cat has his way, eventually there will be a companion piece, "Things I Never Told My Husband." I'm just looking for a woman to write it!
My doctor's appointment this week went just fine. No items of concern were revealed. I'm continuing south on Tuesday with a hopeful layover in San Antonio and then perhaps Corpus Christi. It's two weeks from Mardi Gras and I'm looking for a party! Maybe I'll make it to the barefoot parade on Padre Island.
The past two weeks have been pleasant at Star Ranch Nudist Resort, but more expensive than I'm accustomed to. I might need to stay a few nights in Walmart parking lots to make up the prices. I wouldn't trade home at Sun Meadow for this. I like it a lot better up there.
I'm well into the rewrite of American Royalty. Appreciate the comments that people have left on the story and in email. My patrons were introduced to "The Transmogrification of Jacob Hopkins" Book 4, Double Twist this morning. The series posts three chapters a week for patrons so they are eighteen chapters ahead of the postings here on SOL. And patrons have free access to the eBooks, too!
So, it must be martini time somewhere. We're having scattered thunderstorms here today and I thought I might get the remains of my laundry processed today. We'll see.
