Please PM interest. In your mesaage, please include a character biography and a sample first post. My character biography, my writing style and what I look for in a co-writer can be found in the link in my signature below.

It had been over a year since the twists of fate and one tired truck driver had taken his wife from him. It had been a very difficult year. My friends had tried unsuccessfully to fix Adrian up any number of times with a wide variety of ladies. He just wasn't interested. Even at the young age of twenty-six, the idea of starting over seemed unbearbale to him. He was still in good shape; still working out every day, just for the routine if nothing else. And he was considered to be good looking by the women who knew he was single again. But somehow the idea of dating again was daunting to say the least.
Adrian still loved his fishing and camping. That was the one joy he could count on. Give him a lake and a pole and he could finally lose himself from that ever nagging emptiness that followed every step he made every day. He loved pitting his mind against the fish's instincts; trying to coax an unseen advisory into biting an artificial object that he was trying to make look real. To Adrian, that was relaxation. But work was also crazy busy and in a lot of ways he was starting to let work take over all his free time. If nothing else, it was a good excuse to avoid the blind dates his friends tried to fix him up with.
When his friend Joe and his wife Angie suggested that he spend several days at their cabin in Colorado, he argued that he really didn't have the time. Finally, after weeks of nagging by Angie, he gave in and agreed to go relax at their cabin. They insisted they had everything set and he could enjoy the solitude and fishing with nothing to worry about. No phones, no computers, just Mother Nature and me. He had to admit that Angie made it sound awfully inviting. She had more than once insisted that it was so secluded she often went whole days without getting dressed, just enjoying the sun as she lay out sunning naked on the dock while Joe fished. He had to admit that the thought of her naked may have played into his being talked into going.
The day finally arrived when Joe would fly his up to the small airport near the cabin and a friend he knew up there would drive him to the cabin. All he had to do was take his pole, a change of clothes (if he even wanted one this time of year Angie teased) and enjoy himself for a while. Angie loaded his gear onto the plane and gave him a huge hug before heading off with a big grin on her face.
