I always put it in the net... As the new guy on the Rochester Riot, I’m used to dealing with haters and trolls. My opponents come after me fast and hard, while fair weather fans play armchair quarterback about my talent or lack thereof. But they never mention how I look – they never ridicule me for my body. I don’t know what it’s like to be called fat, ugly, disgusting, even… worthless. When I meet the voluptuous Phoebe at a Riot athletic wear event, her haunted eyes tell me she’s been bullied in the past. She can’t believe that my body tightens and my heart thumps whenever I’m around her. I’m a lonely giant of a man, so her size is one of the things I love most, especially those sweet curves that make my mouth water. So when a thug targets her again for her weight – he dares me to cross the line. You see, I already consider Phoebe mine and what belongs to me… I protect that with my life. And after I lay him flat, I’ll lay her bare.

After 26 years in Corporate leadership at a Fortune 500, I discovered people within the organization lacked integrity. I’d always known deep in my soul that I was trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole since I’m the typical creative type. I miss my staff but I don’t miss the corporate world. It’s been said that the Universe will let you know if something isn’t right for you. The first time, it will hit you with a pebble. Then a brick. Then a boulder. Let’s just say that I got flattened. When my fifteen pound toy dog, Nigel, was threatened, I knew it was time to say goodbye. It’s true. Here’s what I found within the first thirty days of being free. Writing stories from my heart that readers love means more to me than working myself in to an early grave for people who only care about their bottom line. My heart has never been more full and my soul has never been more satisfied. I’ve never worked so hard in my life but it doesn’t even feel like work. It’s worth it. All of it. Because it’s about the joy that’s found within the journey. The highs and the lows because I get to write stories for all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, enjoying and recommending the stories that I write. When you share my work with others, nothing is more rewarding. Your word of mouth is my very best friend … that, and your reviews. There is nothing more important to me than all of you. I love to hear from my readers and answer all communications personally.
