Is your site SEO (search engine optimized?) The truth is, it is often better to… Continue

Her bra was back in place now, but much of her taut, flawless, creamy-brown skin was still exposed. At 12 years old, Deborah Yvonne Davis had the sweet, innocent face of a young girl, but the fetching body of a woman, years older. It was her blessing and her curse. Jonathan stared long and hard, savoring the sight of her. His bowed… Continue

I respond by blaming/crediting the fact I was born at the right address in a small Texas town: my mother and father lived and loved there. Except for that fact, my life may have been woefully different. My dear mother taught me to read at the age of three. That… Continue
