Fourteen Little Tales

Some of these stories began as a writing challenge at the beginning of the pandemic. I edited them and expanded them, and put them together into this little collection.

They're hard to categorise: part poetry, part frame-story, but they're all romantic in one way or another. They range in rating from G  to M, so bear that in mind! 

The Fourteen Tales are:

1.)  Silver,  Green, Silver - A Knight and his Prince discuss vows

2.)  Grace - A sub learns to appreciate  gentleness

3.)  The Translator -  A little divine intervention helps a woman make her move

4.)  Silk -  A bar owner grapples with her mother's wishes vs her own

5.)  Daphnis - Meet-cute, featuring sheep

6.)  Diamonds and Dreams (Come True for Girls Like Me) - Reading spices up two women's relationship 

7.)  Galatea - A surprise reunion in the California sun

8.) Arlecchino - Lessons on the American dream, with two very good teachers

9.)  Transliteration - Sometimes smart boys are clueless

10. )  Merry Company - Further lessons on the American dream

11.)  La  Nuova Dolce Vita - Pre-wedding jitters for both bride and groom

12.)  Iphigenia - Weaving a new life

13.)  Points of Order - Sometimes, it's fun to break the rules

14.)  Laurel, Ivy, Rosemary - Two middle aged men reflect on life and love

Enjoy!
