  • Playing with Triggers

    Playing with Triggers

    Under a dark moon, I finished some spiritual work with a friend. In the process of saying goodnight, she pulled a very old trigger—one I wasn’t expecting and one I’m desperately trying to trace back to its origins and kill—a little like Terminators trying to kill the mother of their enemy before he was conceived.…

  • My Mother’s Dream vs Mine

    My Mother’s Dream vs Mine

    In spite of a fourth absolutely stellar review that I will always cherish, I put a copy of Dark Revelations in the mail to my mom with the same trepidation as every time I send her one of my books.

  • Warning: Teenage Mutant Turtle Porn

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. While racing off to work Friday morning, I ran out of the house in the rain, hopped in the car, backed up three feet, and saw something…odd…in the grass that Shannon better mow this week or else. I couldn’t tell what it was. I thought…

  • The WHOA Moment

    The WHOA Moment

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. He really is very cute, this young blond man.

  • Time Travel, Unexpectedly

    Time Travel, Unexpectedly

    Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Curves. Time travel hurts, okay? Not always, but tonight it did.
