This is the tale of the adventures of Miss Mandy Pepperidge. The true title of the tale isn't the abbreviated "Miss Pepperidge" shown in the wrapper. Rather, it is "The Adventures and Explorations of Miss Mandy Pepperidge and Her Loyal Companion." The adventurous duo inhabits the world of Templeton College, as described so well and with such charm by author...
Part 1: Meeting He was 48 and suddenly single. He had known their marriage was increasingly unhappy but he thought there was still love there. He didn’t realise until the lawyers were involved just how far he and his wife had drifted apart, and by then it was too late. On the positive side there was little acrimony and the financial arrangements had been a...
Beck was out of sorts for the next few days and retreated to her cabin, before gradually migrating back to Watson’s bed. The brush with the knife-wielding youth had cast a pall over her joie de vivre and the trauma was taking time to ebb away. Watson sat back patiently while Beck licked her spiritual wounds, steering Aurora far offshore to put the experience...
Thanks to Lunarlilith, GCMIVB4, BD88, JB, and Trimtab for editing assistance, as well all the other helpful souls. I couldn't do it without you. Fair warning, this story contains themes of pseudo-incest. Enjoy. *** Previously on Endangered Chris and the team return from Brazil, and Radek's demonic origins are finally exposed. The brood resolves some int...
Prologue It was high noon in the small town in Oregon. The sun was beating down on empty streets. There was a trickle of traffic. Everyone was probably in the shade somewhere, sipping a cool drink. Joey's diner, a small, cozy, place was sparsely populated. Joey, the owner and Bartender was behind the bar, wiping glasses. Two men sat at a table, both weari...

To Smutol, who fought with me - A LOT - but provided invaluable input into character interactions and was often the voice for 'the little guy'. To Talonwolf because apparently the ATF can't do their jobs to my satisfaction. To the Voice Howling In t...
Authors Note: This time I'm posting the whole thing. No chapters, no teasers. Just the whole thing in one go. It's a long story but I might as well get it all out there. I take a little pride in trying to use words that are not often seen in stories of this sort. In the past I've used 'Brobdingnagian'. The word for this story is 'Pulchritudinous'. Go get y...

Garry's position in lif...
Vicki wasn't calming down, and people were backing up in line as they waited to say goodbye to Liv. "Let me talk to her," I said as I opened my arm to her. "Can you go with Uncle Leo?" Vicki nodded, and Liv set her down in my lap. I drove the scooter through the people milling around, all of whom were trying to politely ignore the meltdown that just happ...
I deeply appreciate the enthusiastic reception you gave Whatever Your Heart Desires. It made me feel like a million bucks to write it, and doubly-so that you felt the same to read it. This is the mirror image of that story; a much darker telling for those of you who like it nasty. This story contains some unpleasant, but real-life imagery. It is entirely fic...
