Granite Kiss (16 page)

Life just didn’t get any better.

“Come on, you guys,” he called up the hall. “Your cousins, uncles and grandfathers are waiting. You’re going to make us miss out on all the fun if you don’t hurry.”

Giggling from Julie’s bedroom brought a smile to Zander’s lips.

“Hold your hamsters, Daddy,” his daughter called out.

A moment later, his kids came through the door, growling, or at least giving it their best effort, and when they stood before him showing off their costumes, Zander couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“You’re not ’posed to laugh, Daddy,” Julie said, and placed her little fists on her hips, showing her displeasure as his outburst.

Zander mustered as much sincerity as he could, considering the expression on his daughter’s adorable face. “My deepest apologies, milady,” he said, with a bow.

“Yeah, Dad. Me and Julie are ferocious beasties, don’t you know,” Z.J. added with a mischievous grin.

His beautiful wife certainly had a sense of humor, and Zander loved her more with every breath he drew.

Grinning ear to ear, awaiting his praise, stood his son and daughter, dressed up as...gargoyles.

After reading a number of erotic romances I got the bright idea it might be fun to write one. Seems I possess a talent to tell a lascivious tale–my English Profs are stunned. Regardless of the steamy sexy stories I create, for me it’s all about true love and happily-ever-after, or a reasonable facsimile–the guy must get the girl in the end.

On those rare occasions when I manage to find some spare time, I read. When not sweating over the laptop tapping to keep up with my over-active imagination, I squeeze in running, cycling, trips to the gym and occasionally shoot pool. Above everything else, I cherish time spent with my family and friends.

Currently I make my home in a small city in South-western Ontario and just enjoy life.

A simple girl with simple indulgences, that’s me. I listen to rock music, enjoy expensive cognac and oh, I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like!
