I just read Summer’s Island. As one who came of age in the 1970s, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The setting, the references to symbols of that era (Bryce’s Fleetwood Mac shirt, Summer’s pubic hair, the Chevy van “fuck wagon”), the innocence, and the ending were touching. The “first time” story stimulated fond memories from my college days.I don’t participate in many contests because I don’t believe writing is a competitive sport. Still, I like participating in some themes, such as holidays and summer (my two-month holiday).
My submission for Summer Lovin 24 just posted, and it’s called Summer’s Island.
I spent summers at an island camp (what others call a summer home) in the Thousand Islands area on the Saint Lawrence River. Summer adventures on the river, exploring islands, and meeting cute boys in Alexandria Bay created some very fond (and intense) memories that I relive in this story about a couple’s first time.
Naturally, I placed this one in the first time category with a respectful but voracious audience.
It's a quick read—only four lit pages—and feels true to the events that inspired it. Please look at it; I would love to hear your thoughts.

You’re a superb writer and I enthusiastically encourage folks to to give Summer’s Island a read. I look forward to reading more of your works.
Wow, that is really kind, and you have no idea how much I appreciate it. I spent a lot of summers on the Islands in the Saint Lawrence River and daydreamed a lot of stories. I'm so glad this one resonated with you.I just read Summer’s Island. As one who came of age in the 1970s, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Forgot to mention that I also liked your reference to Rochester, assuming you meant Rochester NY. Lived there at one time.Wow, that is really kind, and you have no idea how much I appreciate it.

If you lived in Rochester, you might want to read my story "Will You Merry Me?" It is set at the Irondequoit Mall in a similar era. I have a thing for days past in Rochester.Forgot to mention that I also liked your reference to Rochester, assuming you meant Rochester NY. Lived there at one time.
Just finished reading it. Take my word for it folks, if you’re a fan of romantic sex, strong character development, and well-crafted plots, give Wendy’s “Will You Merry Me?” a read. You’ll find that it’s not at all too early to start thinking about Christmas!If you lived in Rochester, you might want to read my story "Will You Merry Me?"
