In deference to my friend's unrivalled history of aiding the Yard we were not subjected to the humiliation of handcuffs nor were we taken directly to Scotland Yard, but instead taken to a town house in a once-fashionable area of the city that was now, like the house, looking less than its best. 'This is the scene of the crime?' asked Holmes. 'It is, and I'...
"Smokey And The Merry Girls" (part 1) ***** Welcome once more, friends, to the roll call of my lovely lesbian ladies. Mid-February 2016, I introduced my fiftieth gal-loving gal (not counting bisexuals. So if there're any Smokey ladies you notice are not included in this review series and are wondering why, it's most likely because they're bi). That's fifty...
Faith Peters ran from the place she hated to call home for the last time. Her father, home drunk again had beaten her while her whisper of a mother watched with a teary expression. It was like an old recorder player, skipping to the same place in the song. Every night was the battle between his hand and her body. Not anymore. Tonight was different. Faith ro...
Calista sat huddled behind a large tree in the woods. All around her, she could hear the shouts of the hunters as they destroyed all that she loved. She had only just managed to escape; the bullet wounds in her side and leg were reminders of how close she had come to death. Her family had not been so lucky. Tears ran silently down her cheeks and she dared no...

As the lottery began, it was not difficult for Ciara to appear concerned. The lottery was an annual tradition in her village. As it began, an urn was prepared (it had been the same urn since Ciara's Grandmother's first lottery), filled with one white ball for every girl of bleeding age in the town. Then, in a solemn ceremony in front of the assembled villag...
Exhausted by her recent ordeal, Desirée could only gape. Veronica shook herself. "I'm sorry. You're tired and this was a bad time." She started walking down the hall, Desirée following her. "You're jealous," she said suddenly. "You were worried that Cyraena might take me away from you." Veronica spun around, her face darkening. "I am-" Then she stopped,...
Monica first appeared momentarily in Entertaining at Large Chapter XV and then had a starring role in the next one. That's how this all started. Be worth reading if you want to be fully in the picture, but I hope this story will stand alone. I also set myself the test of trying to make these tales shorter than the Entertaining at Large marathons. I'd be inte...
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemicals: if there is any reaction, both are transformed ... Carl Jung We met at a real estate law seminar in Philadelphia, which will never be confused for Hedonism II. I was the real estate development guy, she was the title attorney. I knew this immediately because we both wore those hideo...
I was the one man in a one-man photography studio. I was just getting started in the business and had recently rented a small space in a downtown building. It was nothing fancy. It had a small reception area that I used as a gallery for my prints, two offices and a large storage area that I converted to studio space. Even subletting the other office, the por...
