Chapter Nineteen

Leave a comment

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 17

This chapter picks up as Owen and Kennedy are driving back to Parker House. It's sort of the second half of the same scene. Together, these chapters are too long so I broke them up. Happy reading! The drive was short, and Owen quickly pulled into the driveway at Parker House. He drove up to … Continue reading Chapter 17

Chapter Thirteen

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 Nine

Chapter Nine of The Davies. I struggled with this one. I wanted to edit the life out of it, but I've left it as is. More to come. Every home has its rhythms, and Kennedy was beginning to understand those of Parker house and its occupants. The first rule of the day seemed to be … Continue reading Chapter Nine

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
