 | THE HOPE STORE (2012 version Strongest Start) | worldbeat99 | Novel | Literary Fiction | 1 | n/a | May 9, 2012 |
Summary:My new novel THE HOPE STORE is about the first store in the world to sell hope over the counter. The store's slogan is: "We don't just instill hope. We install it." The central character is Jada Upshaw, a suicidal yet oddly engaging woman, who has set her sights on ending her life. But when The Hope Store opens in town, she decides to turn to it as an option of last resort. She befriends store owner Luke Nagano and comes to experience the ground-breaking procedure for installing hope.
As rivers of hope begin to flood Jada's body and soul, the believers and skeptics descend upon The Hope Store. Luke is troubled when Jada finds herself responding in unexpected and possibly dangerous ways – and one reporter makes it his mission to get to the bottom of the story.

 | Ever After | Zer0 | Short Story | Literary Fiction | 8 | 1.82 | Dec 18, 2011 |
Summary:This is a fairytale like none other you have ever read. It is intended to expose, invert and reverse the myriad of intolerant, oppressive, degrading ideologies attached to historical fairytale narratives such as the 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' collection and their Disney reenactments. It is part satire and part intense drama. I would very much like to hear what people think of it. Chapters: |

Summary:In Search of Mr. Wonderful, The Journey from Myth to Madness
Romance / Adult
To Invite Love, You Must Love Yourself First
Syvanna Lee knows what she wants—an everlasting love, her own “Mr. Wonderful.� Yet in her precarious quest to find such a man, she refuses to listen to the truth of her inner voice and ends up disappointed time and again. Each “Mr. Somebody� Syvanna becomes involved with opens a new chapter in her life. Each new relationship causes her to look at herself from a different perspective. Each new lover unveils previously unexplored facets of her own personality. She is ready for love, but will she ever realize that to give love, receive love, or even demand love, she must love herself first?
And if Syvanna would only take a moment to listen to her inner voice, she might learn an important truth. As the tale unfolds, an ominous secret from Syvanna’s childhood rises to the surface, a secret that may ultimately kill her.
In Search of Mr. Wonderful is a tale of heartbreak, self-destruction, desperation, and, ultimately, of transformation and discovery. Ms. Bouvier has written a novel of intense beauty and introspection that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.

Summary:A new short story I've been working on over the past 4 days. Any help is fine...nits or overall ideas. It's not meant to be funny like my usual fare, so beware. Hey, that rhymes. I'm a dork.Chapters: |
 | The Kat Nove Book Club | kat nove | Short Story | Humor | 13 | 0.19 | Feb 26, 2009 |
Summary:Moses is my best friend and he gets pissed because I don't write something about him every five minutes. You might wonder what a gay man in his late twenties and a straight woman in her early fifties have in common. That’s a no-brainer. They’re losers. Why else would they start a book club for two and sit around reading aloud instead of getting laid?

 | Out to Lunch | kat nove | Short Story | Humor | 11 | 0.48 | Feb 24, 2008 |
Summary:Here's another true account of things that happen in the bookstore I manage. If you're easily offended, I'd give this one a pass. I'm well aware nearly everyone on this site has several IQ points on me, but just in case anyone is unfamiliar with the word "aphephobia" it means the fear of being touched. I had to look it up and if I didn't have it before, I do now. Chapters: |

Summary:This is definitely NOT about the guy who brought the Ten Commandments down from the mountain. It's my cheap-ass Christmas gift to my friend Moses. Too bad there's no return/exchange counter for bad poetry. Sorry, Moses. Chapters: |
 | When The Road Darkens | brian s. lancaster | Short Story | Literary Fiction | 16 | 2.39 | Jul 12, 2006 |
Summary:Two men, who can barely stand each other, set out on a road trip from England to Béziers in the South of France. It is a journey of love, fulfilment and ultimately, one of closure. (this short story is taken from a novel in progress)
--- My Tribute to the summer of love:
Although a short story about loss (a long one at that - 3800 words - flash fiction fans beware) this is also essentially a love story.
