It seems that I wasn't quite as finished with her as I first thought. It was already my most ambitious project when I first started the original trilogy in 2012, but why not four more? Dates and titles are all tentative, but here we go...
Circe looked at the house across the street before turning to him. “Seriously? That’s the place?” “Sonnefeld or Burton could have used it for a horror movie, I know. Very eerie place with modern buildings either side.” Jeff’s eyes moved down to her. The streets were still damp from rain deluge the night prior as it had yet to warm up enough to evaporate much. Two cars squealed past spraying water on the sidewalk followed by a hovering police car chasing after them with sirens blazing. She linked her arm into his. “Okay, then. Lead on MacDuff.” "You know the quote is actually Lay on, not lead, right?" She grinned. "Of course. Just testing you." With her in her long black skirt, black boots rising beneath, and navy topcoat; [Read more...]
Steam lifted off the darkened street as cars passed through puddles. The streetlights offered spots of light between the deluge and the wind. The full-length windows muted the sound of cars skidding past below. Kent stared into the darkest part of his reflection to look outside. The fluorescent lighting in the hall made it difficult to see much out there. He stood in his blue uniform with his first name embroidered on his right chest with a broom over his shoulder. No one would mistake him for a soldier carrying a rifle, but he still smiled at the thought. A car sprayed water on the sidewalk causing nearby pedestrians to scatter away from the edge. Kent chuckled and returned to his hall trek. He began whistling "If I Only Had a Brain" [Read more...]
Press play I mentioned yesterday on Twitter and Facebook that our 16-year-old has come out to us as transgender. We were very proud for her in having the strength to talk to us for starters. She has done so much research and soul searching on this, that it was time. Her shock came in how we embraced her words and offered to help. I suppose any child is afraid to tell their folks for fear of rejection. Imagine the surprise when not only did we accept that they want to look at becoming a trans male and choosing a new masculine name, but offering to help find the connections they need to move forward on this. Those of you regularly reading my work would know we are not the most traditional of situations, to begin with, but our [Read more...]
Author's note: It's been awhile since I've offered a new series here, and after a few weeks off it is about time I returned with a Wicked Wednesday post. This is the first part of a new project I'm calling "Black Rings". Based on my notes, this one may go for a while. For the record, the last time I said something like that was the beginning of Savannah. This could be fun. She walked towards him from the club's bar area. A grin crossed her lips as she thought he looked perfect for the thoughts of erotica that her mind was basking in. He sat with his eyes transfixed on a ring on his right hand. A leather coat was open showing a dark button-down collar shirt beneath it. His graying, brown hair flickered with colour from the stage lights [Read more...]
Yes, he's back...and he's confused as to why the universe hates him... A lipstick stain left evidence of her mug molestation. Director Jake Along with the regular cast of characters: Beverly - Jake's life, writing, and baking partner Clark - the cameraman who hears nothing Vance - pornstar and bookkeeper extraordinaire Crimson - elegant owner of a Vancouver BDSM dungeon There were bodies everywhere and, being the reporter that I am, I feel the need to mention that none of them were dead. Director Jake in the Dungeon of Crimson And now the introduction of South Korean Madame Suki, as Jake heads east to find inspiration for his next production. More licking, less yacking. Director Jake and the [Read more...]
Note from C.P. - I met Evgenia via a Fetlife connection. Ok, met is strong as on-line only even though we both live in the mystical realm of Toronto. One of these days, though... That said, the woman exudes sexuality and grace. I am pleased to offer her this space for tonight's guest post and, on first reading this, it was not what I was expecting. She simply impresses me more and more when I read her work. Enjoy and, if the words speak to you, please support her ... Life force Deep within us lives a force – a powerful energy of self-expression, joy and ultimate pleasure. Deep within us exists an element that shape shifts. It burns in strongest passionate flames and simmers as it teases our senses. It flows calmly while [Read more...]
Being the Canadian that I am, please allow me to apologize in advance for this. I wanted this to be funny, but I simply cannot do it. Been awhile since I’ve discussed politics ‘round these here parts, but there have been some things going on lately that have my blood boiling. The problem is figuring out where to start. I know, I know; Julie Andrews says we should start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. How do you solve a problem like oppression? I've been sharing a lot of Facebook and Twitter posts about what has been reported in the news lately, and I've gotten some flack about it. Those that would have us keep our heads down and claim any news against their leaders is "hatred" say we should stop it and let [Read more...]
