Fiction Stories

Some stories are written to explain the world. Others are written to remind us what it feels like to live in it. This is not a story about history, or war, or even time—though all of those pass quietly through its pages. It is a story about the small promises we make to ourselves when we are young, and the surprising ways life asks us to keep them. It is about love that grows before it announces itself. About courage that speaks softly.

I’ve noticed that my Hilley stories attract some interest, and I have a final one to adapt. This is Hilley’s coming of age story. So, it doesn’t have the convoluted plotting of the later stories. Instead, it focuses on her development. She isn’t the ass-kicker you find later. In fact, she has all the insecurities that any late teen girl would have. This is novel length. So, I will post chapters every week. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did writing it.
