Author's Notes: In light of what has transpired in politics these last few weeks, I thought it important to let you know, this story is a work of fiction I thought of on my own before the "scandals" came out. This is not poking fun at anyone or any particular state. This is just a story and is not meant to sway anyone toward any particular political party an...
Episode 1: The traveler and the hunter The land Malvinor is dry and mostly covered with rocky lands and deserts. But in the north, where the wide meandering Daryn demarcate the border with the Elven Kingdom, lie vast forests. A stranger had made his camp in an open spot in the forest on a hill overlooking a wide bend of the giant river. Near the delta the D...
This is a continuing story, and should probably be read with the other chapters... ***** A couple of weeks later we finish our project and it's rolled out to great fanfare and even greater success.

I was rather annoyed, to say the least, to be interrupted from my sleep that morning, on one of those rare occasions that I attempted to sleep in. Normally, I tended to be too eager to get things done to stay in bed and waste my day with idle semi-slumber. Then again, at this particular moment, I was overdue for some sleep, but I wouldn't get it yet. I was j...
Colton sat in the back seat of the school bus staring a hole into the back of Parker's messy blond head. He wondered what it would be like to run his fingers through it, to grip it in his fists while he held him firmly and kissed him, hard and deep. They had just won another away game, and everyone was pumped and the bus was rowdy, but it was just a buzz in...
"Thank you," the monsignor said as I handed him down from the carriage in front of 24 Exeter Place in a quiet pocket garden not far from Victoria Station. I had told him my name was Luke, but he'd managed to go all afternoon without directly addressing me—like I wasn't wholly there. This was the first time he'd thanked me, though, and I thought there was rea...
