CHAPTER ONE "It's a tradition," Esther reminded herself as she pulled the box from the top shelf. For twenty-five years, since her son Tommy was just two, she had decorated their house from top to bottom with ghosts, vampires and ghouls of all shapes and sizes. She, herself, would dress as a gypsy and read the cards for children of all ages in the neighborh...
Chapter 1 Gwen After wiping my face free of sweat for the thousandth time with the bottom of my shirt, I grunted in frustration and pulled the shirt all the way off, reducing myself to a dark blue sports bra and paint-smeared jeans. Normally such a bold move would be unthinkable but the heat trumped modesty and besides, I was alone in the sweltering art st...

Chapter 1 November 22nd, 10:30 p.m., Savannah, GA I sat hunched over, too wired and panicked to sleep but too upset to stay fully awake.

I heard a woman's voice, a million mil...
*** A series of TG-themed stories which I hope will be of interest to those who like women, or would like to be a woman. Which includes me! *** Kathy looked at me, hard.

Three Square Meals Ch. 133 *This is incredible! To think that this citadel has been in existence since the time of the Kyth'faren!* Tashana gasped, gazing up in awe at the majestic high-arched ceiling as they walked along the corridor of the Kyth'faren castle. *Yet it still looks like construction was only completed a matter of days ago!* *How old is it ex...
By Philip Johnson Prologue Dolce Giardino. It means sweet garden in Italian, and that was the name of their estate, and an apt description. The year was nineteen twenty six, and Charles and Kathryn Philips lived on that estate, and in that new grand and sturdy looking brick home. Charles and Kathryn loved the somewhat isolated location. They really were...
THE PROPER RULES FOR STRIP POKER: THE EPILOGUE Author's Note: To understand the characters in all their dimensions I would recommend reading all of the "Proper Rules" stories; but if a reader doesn't care to do that, this will stand up on its own merits, I hope! A result of some encouragement, I have decided to take the characters out for another spin. This...
