 | The Nude – An Erotic Tale The Nude is a short story about a romantic encounter between an artist and his new muse. While sipping his coffee, with a sketch pad and Conte pencil in hand, our artist is suddenly inspired to portray an engaging woman he spots sitting in the front window of the cafe. Literally drawn to her every curve, our mystery woman casually lures us down a path of seductive inspiration. – This story was the product of an erotic writing class I took. Our teacher helped the classmates that wanted to participate, put together a chapbook that we sold at a local book fair. Published: November 16, 2009 ISBN: 9781452359083 |
Praise for The Nude
Lawrence has a passion for words. I love getting lost in words. I admire Lawrence for his ability to express himself so openly. I love his style and that he too is a hopeless romantic at heart.
When a writer can make you forget everything while you are immersed in their story, it rubs off on you. I have had the desire to write a romantic tale for sometime and after reading “The Nude”, I have been re inspired to continue following that path.
TRACY WESTERHOLM, Tara Cronica

 | The Road to Perfection & Giving Up On Perfection This story is broken down into two parts: Part I ‘The Road to Perfection’, takes place literally on the road to Boston. Part II Giving up on Perfection’, can be summed up by this quote from my story: “Regret is not the result of failure. It is a consequence of giving up. You will look back forever on what if, but you will one day find comfort in the defeat of giving it your all.” Published: May 18, 2010 ISBN: 9781452328331 |
