Brigid McAllister was just 13 when her Uncle Davie loaded her up onto the wagon near Clones and drove her into Dublin one misty June morning in 1907. She had no idea why they were going, and she imagined it was just a rare day out to the big city. She thought her widowed mam was silly sobbing over her and hugging her fit to crush her, telling her to be a goo...
Hayley and I first met when she and Mike moved in next door with their children almost nine years before. Paul figured it would be polite to invite our new neighbours around for 'get to know you' drinks, and firm friendships were forged between us all on that very night. Mike and Paul found they shared the same slightly dry and ironic sense of humour, an obs...
As with the Femdom Family Album, the photos that should accompany this story are omitted due to copyright issues; but descriptions are included in brackets. It should go without repeating that all of the women are plain, or even what some unenlightened might call ugly. ***** Plainly Powerful The Mildred Walker Story The story of a remarkable woman who le...
CHAPTER 1 As the world financial crisis bit deep at local level, clients were cutting back and new business had slumped, hitting the business of accountancy partnership Brown and Dempsey. Smiles and some cheer persisted as did the worry lines on faces each time someone in the offices cleared his or her desk. Thompson Harris felt the threat personally when...
Teresa took one last look before closing the trunk of her car. She had been looking forward to this little get-away for some time and didn't want anything to go awry. If she forgot something now it would be a long hike out of the Rockies before she could get it. Being sure that she hadn't missed anything, she closed the trunk, checked the ties on the canoe a...

My hair, of which I still have plenty, has turned silver - nearly white. I am of average height, still standing 6 feet tall, down from my peak at 6' 2". Like many my age, I have let myself go, and developed somewhat of a pot belly....
Part Two Ten Saturday arrived early for Nick, awoken by a prevailing flurry of rain that lashed at the window eliciting thoughts of midwinter rather than midsummer. Noting that Jan remained undisturbed by the foul morning, he crept out onto the landing, hesitating for a brief moment outside son Joe's old room before hurrying along to the bathroom. A nice w...

Check out my blog for updates and excerpts of coming chapters and stories. Thanks to coloryourworld and warrior_wolf for editing, and to TangledinYou for loving Gabriel almost as much as I do.

I am a bachelor. I must confess, that is an inauspicious note upon which to begin but it is a fact that continues to permeate through my life no matter what actions I take to circumvent it. I was born into this world with the love of two parents and subsequently the regard of a few close friends—but that is all. Not to say I have never been in love. Quite to...
© Copyright 2007 Chapter 7— Changing the Rules of the Game Gloria lay prone on the massage table; Raul worked over the backs of her thighs with the rolling pin. The exercise session exhausted her even more than usual, so the massage felt extra good. After a minute or so she felt him shifting the pressure upward, toward her private zone and she knew what he...
