As can be expected, the experience was eye-opening to say the least. In the process, She heard some wild, first-hand stories and fantasies that became the foundation for a series of short stories that allowed her to explore various characters, voices,, and perspectives before beginning the first of the books in the Intense series.

I would normally have looked away, once eye contact was made. Possibly with my nose in the air in the way young girls seem to be universally trained to react to lecherous, balding, pot-bellied older men and all Italians..."And three other stories... Views: 26
