Compass of Dawn
Based in Chicago. I started posting here to get the stories out of my head and onto a page. Most of my posts live in Loving Wives. I have a soft spot for the arrangement, real conversation before the bedroom door closes, and clear enthusiasm once it does. Writing for fun and practice. Let me know which characters or settings you want more of. Ranked by how many readers finish them. Some are free to read in full; the rest open with a free preview.
