"Lift out of order." Cedric Mayfare painstakingly deciphered the hieroglyphics scribbled across a piece of torn cardboard hanging from a broom handle wedged so as to prevent access to the redundant lift. He limbo danced beneath it and pushed the button marked '13'. Nothing happened. He sighed and made his way to the stairs. It was ironic that the lift was...
*** Transgender-themed stories which I hope will be of interest to those who like women, or would like to be a woman. Which includes me! *** Freaky isn't the word for it. I mean, weird. Totally weird. Ultra-weird. Whatever. Basically totally mind bogglingly weird, oh so freaky. I even hesitate to tell you about it. Well, I know, you're just not going to...
Hello and welcome to my readers. Thanks for your votes, PM's and e-mails on my stories.

"Paradise." I shielded my eyes with one hand, looking out over the tremendous expanse of granite and ice, then shrugged with one shoulder as I turned back to Claudia. "You know. Give or take maybe one or two thousand years. Call it two." A light, freezing wind blew around us both, bone-dry; for all the ice, the place was technically a desert. No snowstorms...

BROCK "Loose!" I roared, and a hundred siege engines released at once, sending great boulders into the air. Those that were launched from the trebuchets tumbled as they arced, those that were launched from the catapults flew unspinning upon a line-drive path. The trebuchet boulders rained into Mid Fort, and the catapult boulders smashed into its walls, cav...
A sudden gust of wind swept through the city streets, dragging fall leaves in a frenzied dance. Veronica shivered, pulling her jacket close against her body and hiding her face in the faux sable fur lining the hood. Traffic was nonexistent along the narrow street she walked and she couldn't decide whether that was due to it being early afternoon on a Monda...
The Goddess Banba smiled at Morrigan and said, "while we're on the subject of helping you get through the rough spots; there's some things you should know. Now that we've gone through the portal; some of the other gods and goddesses have already started laying the ground work for your cities. They tell me they'll be finished in three or four days. When we ge...
This is Part 1 of 3. All three chapters are written and will be published in sequence. ***** Prologue "Mom, she isn't even going to remember me," Tessa Kerrigan said, crossing her arms in front of her breasts and looking out the window. Tessa hadn't said a word in nearly an hour, just stared out the windshield in silence. Her mother, Heather, had tricked...
