“Turning our attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, and the cherry blossoms.” – A Tale Of A Floating World, 1665
Welcome, gentle visitor, to my ethereal parlor—a little corner of the internet where I gather shiny historical gems and share my short stories. Do settle in for a spell.
Would you care for tea or coffee? A slice of cake, perhaps, or a cookie or two?
Take your time and wander about the blog archives as you please. Stay as long as you like in the company of these old words and stories.

Trapped in a wretched slum, Sarah Ward feels powerless to keep her son away from a charismatic crime lord, whom she believes is responsible for her husband’s death. A lost letter offers her a chance to flee to her rural childhood home, away from the pounding factories and soot-filled skies.
Consumed by the loss of his eldest child, widowed Markham struggles to be a good father to his remaining son. The only solace he finds is drifting in the memories of Sarah.
When old lovers reunite, Markham has a chance to show her that he’s changed. He can finally admit the feelings he had kept hidden for so long and try to heal old wounds. But Sarah has changed too. She isn’t the trusting, naïve young woman she once was. She knows from painful experience that some wounds can never be healed, and some secrets must never be told, especially ones that could rip her small family apart.
