NOTES

Story Orgy Singles brings you…Bad Boyfriends.The men your mother should have warned you about, but probably didn't.The Jealous GuyBank Vice President Sydney Huber has a habit. Every day for six months he's eaten the same thing for lunch, in the same restaurant, just so he can be near the object of his affections.It's sweet…that's what server Max Bridger thinks. Until their first date reveals a dark side to the handsome banker that Max hadn't suspected, and can't live with. Somewhere in a small town in up-state New York are a librarian and a second grade teacher to whom I owe my life. That might be a touch dramatic, but it's nevertheless one hundred percent true.Because they taught me the joy of reading, of escaping into worlds crafted of words.Have you ever been nine years old and sure of nothing so much as that you don't belong? Looked at the world from behind glasses, and wondered why you don't fit?Then turn the page and see… there you are, running from Injun Joe in a dark graveyard; there you are fencing with Athos; there you are…beneath the deep blue sea- marveling at exotic creatures with Captain Nemo.I found myself between the pages of books, and that is why I write now, it's why I taught English and literature for so many years, and it's why my house contains more pounds of books than furniture.If I'd had my way, I'd have been a fencer…or a starship captain, or a lawyer, or a detective solving crimes. But instead, I am a writer, and that's the best thing in the world to be if you ask me, because as a writer, I can be all those things and more.If I hadn't learned to value the stories between the pages, who knows what would have happened? Certainly not college…teaching…or writing
