Simon Sharpe. I reached down to pick up the spent shell, 7.62mm, some kind of Kalashnikov clone, probably an AKM. "AK47?" Shelly asked, peering over my shoulder. "Basically, yes. Probably silenced, or someone would have heard the shots." I pocketed the shell and walked to the hedge. Just beyond was a small dip, the grass flattened. They'd hidden here b...
Author's Note: So, uh, I wrote that Brash took Blackheart's gun in the previous climax. That was a lie, told to me by some tricksy hobbits. Blackheart still has his pistol aimed at Kira's head. The hobbits responsible have been punished. ***** Blackheart gaped at me. "I was waiting for, like, a whole year to use that line," I said, cheerfully, twiddling...
Now, gentle reader, you will have been wondering what our pair of scholars will be asked to learn? Ironic isn't it that our two anthropologists—people who are to teach the rest of us about the cultures of the world—are themselves made to be students. As the field notes indicate, both Professor Winderly and doctoral candidate Doume' were directed by King Mo...
OPEN HOUSE – CHAPTER ONE And to think he used to enjoy doing this – getting brief glimpses into peoples' lives by parading from open house to open house in a futile search for the perfect home. It was kind of fun in the beginning, seeing ranges of taste in decorating – good or bad, and getting different perspectives on colors, layouts and styles ranging fr...

Inside the xbox, things lie dormant. Almost. The harddrive, containing hard earned save files and marking down skillful achievements, the characters of the games were there alive and mo...
When Patrick repeated his suggestion to Nina that night, as they cuddled (and, to their frustration, did no more than that) in bed, she guffawed derisively. "You want to do what? Are you out of your mind? She's been a professional widow for twenty years or more! What could possibly lead you to think that she'd welcome some man's embraces now?" Patrick re...

Harry's notes, Chapter 6: The last line of chapter 5 reads, "And then the world changed for both of them." To say nothing of how it changes for Oldman; no longer is he restricted to Harry's thoughts and comments; he will play a larger part now. I have an oil painting inspired by this chapter that I think would make good cover art for the book but have no id...
Author's Notes: (1) Before someone goes off half-baked about this submission, please read chapter one. I like to tell a story that has erotica in it, in contrast to erotica with a faint storyline in it. (2) This is FICTION. (3) There are bizarre scenes herein, sexual to some, perhaps horrifying to others. (4) Please be aware that Victoria's activities ar...
