Okay - there's a little poetic licence here in the sense that I believe six berth sleeper compartments have long disappeared from the British Isles, but, hell, it's my fantasy based on travel abroad, so this technical detail aside, please... enjoy :) * There was a cock-up with the reservations, which initially, yes, it rather peeved me, but there's such a...
I was dreaming; a good dream this time. I walked tirelessly, surrounded by huge, huge trees, and I liked it. If nothing else, THAT would have tipped me off. I'm not a tree person. I do not leave the safety of paved roads, not willingly. The woods smelled good; clean, fresh and full of life. The ground underfoot was soft with leaf litter and moss, and the im...
I wonder what today's humans would think if they knew that my kind were real and walk among them daily. Seriously. Considering the hoopla that chicks make about vampires as a genre today, do you think we'd be welcomed with open arms or hunted down and slaughtered? I'm leaning towards the latter because of my experience with human beings. The name is Luc Sain...
I had watched her for several millennia. Anera, the angel of Love was easy to watch and occupied much of my time. Out of all of the angels, she was the most beautiful. Her wings were a little straighter, breasts a little fuller, hair a little softer, voice a little kinder; all of the things that made me hate her that much more. We had been in fierce competi...
It was only when I realized that the obnoxious odor I thought was coming from my trash can was actually coming from me that I decided to take a shower that afternoon. Fighting the need to gag when I pulled my tee shirt over my head, I tossed it in the hamper and removed the rest of my clothes. Although I debated with myself whether or not to simply burn the...

At 26, he's accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. He's helped to conquer the world for his father single handedly. At 5 feet 10 inches and skinny, he runs...
I’ve been looking for this place for most of my life. Well, at least half of it. I started thinking about it when I turned twenty-five, you start to wonder at that quarter-century mark just what the hell you’ll be doing when you get old, when you retire. I mean you want to be where you want to be, and I wanna die happy. I’ve been lucky, I’ll turn fifty-two...
Why do I always yield to impulse? I don't know. Maybe a shrink could tell me. But I don't have the money or time to invest in such things. So I suck it up and move on. I've had to endure all kinds of hell in my life. My father Lenny Braxos Sr. was a mean-spirited womanizing medicine man and my mother Chelsea Johnson Braxos was a man-hating brute who battered...
Prologue Jester came stumbling out of the pub, a wall of joyous raucous at his back. Reeling into the cold night air, he hugged the young maiden he had met that night closer to his side. He'd just finished a gig at the Heartwood Tavern, when an exquisite young girl from Felwithe with an incredible pair of… eyes, offered to buy him a few drinks. One thing le...
The summer time is always a good time to have a party, obviously. Especially when it's on the river banks. My friends and I were popular guys. We had nice cars that we worked hard to get and we took care of ourselves. So people liked us. We live in a smaller town. About a hundred thousand people, give or take a few. So when you say you're having a party, i...
