Salome Rosenthal, that's my name. With such a moniker, I might as well have 'Jewish Broad' tattooed on my forehead. I was born in the City of Tel Aviv, Israel, to an American Christian mother and Israeli Jewish father. I was raised Jewish, though. My parents, Benjamin Rosenthal and Maeve O'Connell are divorced, have been for a decade. A lot of interfaith mar...
The Emirate of Kobekistan is one of those wonderful places where a visitor feels that they have stepped back into a more leisurely, more dignified era of history, but without sacrificing any of the more useful gadgets of modern civilisation. Air-conditioning protects the inhabitants from the rigours of a sub-tropical climate. Motor cars whisk them from one b...
Sheik Omar had been taking good care of the golden haired girl he had found in the desert alongside the crashed airplane. He kept feeding her small sips of water and was surprisingly delighted to notice that during the night she had been peeing all over his best robe he had dressed her in. Because at least that meant her kidneys worked again. So he had remov...
The path I've chosen to walk is a difficult one, but I feel that it's the right one for me. My name is Tariq Rahim Alkaabi and I was born on the island of Failaka in the State of Kuwait.

Chapter 6 — THURSDAY NIGHT — Volkov throws a party The Smoke Stack was a tall and narrow club, designed to resemble the inside of a bloated factory tower. The building from the outside was made of darkly tinted glass, although even from a distance the gyrating silhouettes of dancers could be seen on every level of the club. It was the perfect location for o...
I prefer to fly Business Class when I travel for work for a number of reasons. First, there's more room in the seats and in the cabin generally, in fact almost as much as they allocate to First Class. As I am a big guy, by body size, that sure comes in handy. Second, pretty much all the Business Class passengers are seasoned travellers, who know what they...

Nina is an American archaeologist, Eddie her British ex-mercenary bodyguard-turned-fiancé and eventual husband. Together they have made unbelievable discoveries, beginning in the fi...
Is'arain "What now?" Zalen looked around at the people walking around the narrow street, then turned back to answer Talyar. "It's probably fastest if we spread out. This city isn't that big but it may still take awhile to find her." "Her? Who are we looking for?" Zalen grinned upon hearing the new voice. "Our last party member, Coryel. She's impatient,...
Following very hard on the heels of Part 14, this doesn't really need any introduction. I would, though, urge anyone that is reading this as the first of my storied to flip back a few. That way you will find out 'who's who.' If you have time for nothing else, please read the intro to the previous part, No 14. * Chapter 1 Clare, Mike's long term, live in p...

The younger boy, the short haired twenty two year old was lying on the thick pile carpet with the dark haired, nineteen year old girl. Both girls were only wearing their panties. They were about to have sex. They had come close to this...
