Better late than never? Here's the next installment of The Davies. CHAPTER 22 Faith arrived for her weekend stay and was immediately accepted into the fold by the Aunties. The first night of her stay Kate went all out with dinner and then Beth entertained them all with stories of her travels through Italy and … Continue reading CHAPTER Twenty-Two

Chapter Nineteen

We're back with a new chapter in the Davies series. Sorry for the delay. Life got complicated again. This is a short one so I'll try to get the next one up a little quicker. Thanks for reading! Kennedy woke with a start. She was breathing heavily and from the wetness on her cheeks she … Continue reading Chapter Nineteen

Chapter Eighteen

Howdy Readers! Here's the next installment of The Davies. Will showed up at Parker House out of the blue the next afternoon. Kennedy was out in the back yard laying on a deck chair with her face to the sun. She loved to sit there in the afternoons after work although she was too fair … Continue reading Chapter Eighteen

Chapter Fifteen

Sorry for the late installment of The Davies. Life got in the way. I'll try to post the next chapter soon. When Kennedy arrived for work the next morning, Mrs. Hughes was in a mood. Since Kennedy wasn’t feeling rainbows and sunshine herself, the vibes were decidedly off. She was still pissed at Will for … Continue reading Chapter Fifteen

Chapter Thirteen

Leave a comment

Sorry for the delay! Last week was crazy-busy so no new chapter. This week I had the time to edit so here you go. This is chapter 13 of the Davies. This one starts with a bit of telling instead of showing. It needed to condense boring weeks of normality down to a few paragraphs … Continue reading Chapter Thirteen

Chapter 12

Leave a comment

Today I have a tiny chapter for you. I was tempted to combine it with another, but it's a perfect gem on it's own. It's also the first time the two main character see each other. So, I decided to leave it as is. It's the first time we have two viewpoints in the same … Continue reading Chapter 12

Chapter 10 and 11

Leave a comment

Today we have two chapters instead of the usual one. Chapter 10 is small, probably not worth a whole chapter so I'm including 11 as well. Owen landed on his back as Will grabbed the ball, jumped over him, and continued down the court to score. A simple game of community men’s team basketball at … Continue reading Chapter 10 and 11

Chapter Six

If you need to catch up, click here for the explainer and the earlier chapters. Owen’s phone rang in his pocket, and he dug through his jacket, pulling it out to check who it was before hitting the reject button sending it to voicemail. Not taking that. He put the phone away. She would get … Continue reading Chapter Six

Chapter Five

Leave a comment

Note: Chapter five is actually two chapters in one. I know I said I would only lightly edit, but boy.... Basically I hit one of the reasons I shelved this novel. The two chapters were long and chock full of description that didn't advance the plot one single bit. It was boring. Like, seriously boring. … Continue reading Chapter Five

The Davies: Chapter Three

Leave a comment

Chapter three is here. If you missed the start, you can find all parts on this blog. This is a novel I shelved years ago and decided to resurrect, lightly edit, and publish (warts and all) as a series. I'd love for you to follow along. And if you'd like to contribute, I've got a … Continue reading The Davies: Chapter Three
