This is actually a Romance, you may not think it is from the beginning but I needed to set the tone and history as vividly as I could. The woman does get the man in the end so it's a Romance. ***** Like most people I believed, truly believed I had the best marriage. Beth and I grew up across the street from each other, we walked to school and then high sch...
Author's note: The story continues, part 3 of 6. There is quite a bit of background, especially about my version of Lycanthropy and the Clan, before the rather intense B&D-type sex.

But I've enjoyed writing this, so will...

I'll leave it to you to decide. I hope I've done the estimable Mr. Lovecraft justice. For those of you who are looking for my "sick puppy" material, I'm sorry to disappoint. For everyon...

"In what city were you born?" "Dearborn, Michigan." "Those readings are normal. Now I'll ask you two questions and I need you to lie. First, what is your date o...
1. LUNCH WITH THE GOVERNOR. I sat down at the elegant table, trying to be ladylike with the best manners I could muster. The Governor of Alabama was talking to me, but I was hardly aware of a word he said. I took a deep breath, trying to relax, but it didn't help. The Governor was so very handsome.

John sat in his apartment, his laptop on his lap. The sunrise just beginning, he thought today is a new day. He opened Craigslist and scanned the personals, not expecting to find anything and then there it was.
