Bewitched: Robbing the Cradle
Samantha says, “You know I was looking through your family photo albums. I must say you have a photogenic family. Though I noticed the men on your father’s side turn grey at fifty.”
“Well, they didn’t get fed nutritious vegan meals by a wife who reads the latest health magazines to keep her husband hale and hearty. Why I expect I’ll have some touches of grey at fifty but certainly not a head full of grey.”
“Darrin, have you ever given a gaze at my Mom’s side of the family. My aunt...

Bewitched: Homewrecker
“Sam, the producer feels having you on the show as my wife is making the other women on the set self-conscious. Any expression of affection from them they feel is suspect. Now I know this is malarkey. But I have to please the management. Otherwise, it is back to a forty-hour week and late nights away from home. And I want to spend my evenings with you instead of in a stuffy ad office.”
“Well, I never! If I’m making your costars uncomfortable then you are right I don’t belong there. In fact, maybe I just don’t belong in the same bed as you....

When Love Calls (Chapter Eleven)
BLUE NOTE JAZZ CLUB
New York, New York
“What are you drinking on ma’am?”
Zaniyah lifted her head.
“I’m sorry. Yes, I will have a white wine.”
“Yes ma’am.”
Zaniyah watched Marcus and his date rise from their table.
Both walked over to the exit door.
Marcus looked over at Zaniyah.
Two pair of eyes locked.
Marcus turned away. He and his date walked out the Jazz Club.
Zaniyah paid for her drink. She looked back over at the door and smiled. She...

Alone In A Storm, And Paranoia
Thunder rumbles across the bay, followed seconds later by splattering rain on the paving stone outside.
There's another growl of thunder, louder this time.
She opens her eyes, groggy still from her afternoon nap.
More lightning at the window, followed by a pause in the storm as the steady thud of rain becomes a downpour. She goes into the lounge to draw the curtains.
She stops.
That's strange. She shut the window earlier - didn't she? But now it's open.

Sexy Secrets
Her eyes widened, and a wicked smile played briefly on her full lips. Well now, she thought, who would have believed it? Old stick-in-the-mud and his missus deviating from their routine. She watched Peter’s parents board the bus to King’s Lynne. It was only Thursday; they usually went on Friday. Yes, oh yes, this was indeed a golden opportunity, the boy would be alone. She felt herself beginning to dampen her underwear in anticipation of the pleasure to come.
Returning quickly to her car, Amelia retrieved her binoculars. She could hardly park outside the house, but bird watching...

Toad's last summer
Toads last summer
A fine misty morning veil fell and settled silently over the dark forest of Tinkerbrook
Swathing the weary fern, the bramble and the tangle of thorny briar in a drenched cloak of shimmering dew. Blackbird and songthrush battled in harmony for the sunrise song of warbling worship, taking their cue from the waning moon , as it's pale blue modesty slipped silent over the horizon beyond the bleary and bloodshot eyes of the awakened and the rising, on the graveyard shift to watch over the dead to the night, weary of world sleepers of another far away land.

Bewitched: New Actress
“Samantha, a new girl will make an appearance on our show. She will be a love interest for my junior partner in the fictional insurance company. Don’t worry your pretty little head but she wants me to show her the ropes in love scenes.”
“Invite her over for the noon meal. At least I’ll be part of it when you do the lunch thing with her.”
“Smashing idea sweetheart, be sure to fix your better than sex rhubarb pie.”
“Now that you’ve introduced sex into this conversation with regards to the young lady I am a bit miffed.”

Hello!
Lovely to see you.
Please.
Come in.
Do sit down, make yourself comfortable.
May I offer you something to drink? Coffee, tea- something stronger perhaps?
I do have wine. Red or white?
Red. Delicious! I’ll join you in a glass. I’ve just found a new pinot noir. I hope you’ll like it.
Your request to see me sounded
-urgent- I hope everything is all right.
Yes, I have noticed my husband has been working later than usual. Not altogether out of the ordinary though. Why do...
