Twenty years ago, I began writing. My first story was Apple of Her Eye. Little did I know that when I posted that first chapter online, it would be the beginning of a wonderful journey. The Mustard Jar has been visited by tens of thousands of readers from all over the world. Many of you have become lifelong friends. I have completed 27 full-length stories and several short stories. As you have noticed, I have slowed down.  However, I'm not yet at the end of the journey. I am waiting for my muse to strike again. Until then, I appreciate all the visits you are making to reread some of your favorites. Now, I hope you enjoy reading Apple of Her Eye.

Occasionally, someone will ask how they can show their appreciation for my efforts. I don't take personal donations. However, if you wish, you can make a donation in my name to my host server: Donation Form – DSS Hosting
