Paris France JEAN-PIERRE VALOIS, FRANCE'S PRESIDENT, SITS in his Citroën C6 in the midst of a large parade as it travels down Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Against the wishes of his advisors he pushed for the impromptu parade to be put on as a showing to the people that France would not be put in fear over the recent terrorist attacks. Like the other countri...
The name is Eden White. I'm a six-foot-two, red-haired and green-eyed, kind of chubby and big-bottomed white chick living in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. I'm a BDSM fanatic. There, I said it. Currently, I'm in therapy. I'm sitting in the office of Dr. Carol Brown, a tall, regal black woman in her early forties. She's simply beautiful. A graduate of Spe...
It is not very often that you see an unpretentious looking young man step out of a Rolls-Royce. My name is Paige d'Lephaunt. I am a journalist working for a major Chicago newspaper, and on this particular night, I was waiting for my subject at the Riva Café on East Grand Avenue. For those who have never been there, the restaurant is a fairly large building...

Looking up from the geology exam he was preparing, Shale Stephens glanced out the dirty little window of his office. There they were: the iconic ivy-covered walls that had come to symbolize the apex of academia in America. "There are people out there who would kill for a job with that view," he thought to himself. "A tenure-track position as an assistant pr...
"My submission is a gift from me to you, Master Jericho, but remember the submissive is always the one in control," Mercedes Duchene says with a coy smile as she kneels before her Lord and Master. The tall, curvy and absolutely stunning Haitian-American Amazon cut a striking figure genuflecting on the carpeted floor of their basement, and as her eyes met tho...
Stevenson "Steve" Edmond has come a long way since his not-quite halcyon days at Carleton University. He is now a contractor for the Canadian government in Ottawa. He didn't have many fond memories of his alma mater, with its rigid administrators, uptight security force and weird students. The vast and deceptively quaint-looking campus and those who run it r...
There are times when societies loose any sense of direction and purpose, where people are dissatisfied, but are afraid, unwilling or incapable to look forward for solutions. Unfortunately that is the quagmire in which Australia is caught in the closing stages of the Twentieth Century. In attempting to find a tomorrow, we see some minority groups, riding hap...
(Credit to Incase for the cover art.) You were finally moving away from home! Hallelujah! Goodbye small town thinking and boring familiarity. You were off to the big city, you were off to college, you were out on your own for the first time ever. It was time for higher learning and expanding horizons. You simply could not wait. This last year back home had b...
Chapter One: Wednesday, March 18, 2020 We had come out to the country for an ordinary spring break. Two couples, four old friends from grad school, taking advantage of our university teaching schedules aligning to meet up in rural New England between Boston and New York. It was supposed to be a week of catching up, a little hiking, going to restaurants, coo...
