Dool Stories

A collection of rediscovered Jarlena one-shots and short stories written over many years. Some were posted on websites long gone, some were found through old backups and archives, and some simply refused to stay forgotten. Inside you'll find romance, drama, friendship, family, adventure, heartbreak, happy endings, and everything in between. Consider this the Lost & Found box of my writing life.

Some love stories begin with a rescue. Others begin with goodbye. Escaping a failing marriage, Marlena Evans travels to Alamainia seeking peace and finds something she never expected: John Black. One unforgettable summer changes both of their lives forever. But when Marlena disappears before sunrise, leaving behind only a letter and a broken heart, neither realizes that their story is only beginning. Years later, fate will offer them another chance-if they're brave enough to believe in myths, legends, and the power of a love that refuses to die.

A week away was supposed to change nothing. When Marlena Evans agrees to speak at an Empowering Women lecture series, she hopes the time away from Salem will give her a chance to breathe and escape the growing tension surrounding John, Kristen, and the secrets threatening to tear their family apart. Instead, one devastating accident changes everything. As old wounds reopen and impossible choices are forced into the light, John and Marlena must confront the truths they've spent too long avoiding. In the aftermath of tragedy, both will discover that sometimes the most painful transformations are also the ones that lead us home. Set during the turbulent fake-baby era, Transformations explores love, loss, forgiveness, and the enduring bond between two people determined to find their way back to each other.

Their love was rumored fact and fiction, blurring the lines between reel and real. After a decade apart, John Black, a retired baseball player and now Hollywood star, reaches out to Marlena Evans with an opportunity she cannot refuse. The challenge? They must contend with feelings of longing and attraction, leading to an arrangement.

John was a pawn to Stefano now he was the father to an unknown son. Marlena knew but couldn't tell. If she did, it was all over for John. El Fideo wanted revenge and he planned it to the end. Marlena was his last move.

I was watching a episode where Philip and Chloe were talking about Mimi and her relationship with Philip, this would be 6 months after that conversation. I came up with the scenario that Mimi came back to town with twins but one of them is Rex's and the other one is Philip's.

This is the background character info for all the characters that will be appearing in my Days of Our Lives alternative universe series - Living in Salem.
