Tethys -- Growing the Tribe Part 1 This story is a continuation of the earlier story, "Gesso, also concerning Tethys and her friends. I've tried to make it as stand-alone as possible, but it would probably read better if the first one was also read. The work is fiction, but as a powerful, wise and quite dead Wizard is reported to have said, "...but...
This story has a special meaning for me, and I hope you like it. I still cry at the end of it. PART ONE The Jaguar broke down half way between Albany and New York, a gray day, gray sky, smell of rain in the trees. And Beth thinking: Not here, not here in the middle of nowhere. She sat behind the wheel in the parking lot of a windblown rest stop, people wi...
If any of this going to make sense, and I want it to, then I need to give you some background. Think of it as a prologue if you like, I promise to keep it short. I was born at the tail end of the 1980's, the only child of parents who were as astonished by my arrival as I was myself. They called me Elizabeth on my birth certificate, but I was never anything...
Dilemma is a Greek word meaning a problem which offers two possibilities neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable.

Santana "Kitty what are you doing?" "Nothing love go back to reading." "Why are my pants coming off?" "You always dare me to eat you out while you're reading because you think you can concentrate and since I'm bored I'm taking you up on your offer." "Tiff we just showered and you had a lot of fun." "I did but you didn't have the right kind of fun." We...
"You're kidding? Right?" my ex-husband Alan asked incredulously. "Now, why would I kid about that?" I returned the question with annoyance. Alan was temporarily speechless and I could hear him fumbling for the right words. "I'm telling you because when you pick up Alana, Valerie might be there and I want you to be cordial," I stated firmly. Explaining m...
A romance between two women containing supernatural elements. Although this is very much part of the rest of the Kismet series, it is slightly different. It isn't a direct continuation from where Kismet left off but rather a concurrent event within the story. I hope this doesn't put anyone off! As usual, there's a lot of buildup and plot but I promise the go...
Author's Note: So, this is my story for the Winter Holidays 2014 Contest - better late than never! I'm still relatively new at posting on Lit and I just want to say I appreciate all of the feedback. Just as a heads up, my stories tend to take time and build up to the "heat"... so if you are looking for a "down and dirty" type of tale that jumps right into th...
*********************************** Toni Just three more sessions; hold it together, Toni, I told myself. Ashley leaves for San Francisco tomorrow and then it's over with. We saw each other for the last time this morning, and I can honestly say that whatever we had was nice. I've had Miranda on my mind for three months now. This sort of thing never happe...
