Land transportation practices within imperial borders along the cross border trade routes were achieving...
Papa Smurf was very cross after being awaked in the middle of the night. He glared at Grouchy Smurf, who stood glumly before him in the custody of Policeman Smurf. "You better have a good reason for waking me up," he said. "Sleep doesn't come easy to an old Smurf." "We may have a problem," Policeman Smurf said officiously. "I caught Grouchy Smurf a half hou...
Famous (and quite infamous) magical devices and weapons are liberally scattered throughout the Realms- great and terrible swords, armor of special qualities, magic rings of a hundred varieties, crystal balls and the like; the list goes on and on. However, when we looked into it, no one had acknowledged or catalogued the various magical items created for the...

Prologue "He'll see you now, Sir," the slave said as she exited the room beyond the door. Heversham Ranslan nodded and rose, his mind on the upcoming conversation. After a month of travel, he still wasn't sure whether telling anyone of the recently discovered secret was a good idea. The potential to tear the fabric of Destran society apart was monumental. S...
Chapter 15 I reached down to help the gorgeous woman to her feet. As we walked from the room, she asked, "What is your name, my lord?" "My name is Shaun Kaughman, and my mate is the otter beast-man Petarina Lontra. Please don't call me lord. It makes me uncomfortable. Also, you're free now, so you don't have to serve anyone," was my reply. I noticed the wo...
Summer's mind swam with questions as she hurried outside. How had Cynthia known about her changes? Did she see the bulge of her erection? Maybe she was in the bathroom? Had the maintenance man told her something? And what would she ask in return for keeping quiet? Money? An endorsement? One thing was for sure: this was not going to turn out well, and just wh...
A reader emailed to ask exactly how Jimmy and I spend a night together, adding to "please give as many details as possible so I can copy you." There's a long answer, but here's the first part. It's not meant to be exciting but it's a serious answer to a serious question from a couple who had been deeply in love for years and aren't ashamed of the role anal s...

I sigh and go back to staring into the muddy liquid that gets me close enough to drunk that I don't much care anymore. "You have eyes. You tell me." I ask him. I dub him Ugly, not for h...
Jayla woke, bound at the wrists and ankles with the worst headache she'd ever had. She still had her arm band but was otherwise naked and damp. She remembered she'd been naked when she'd run out of the tent to defend Neela. Her eyes gradually came into focus, she saw a shape prone in the darkness, chained. "Zahnlug?" She whispered. "Oag.
