The Stories

These are in roughly the order I wrote them.

Unwrap Party (1992) Celeste gave it: 10 and listed it as one of her Top 100 Stories of 1995
Tomboy (November, 1995)
No Names (January, 1996)
The Thaw (February, 1996)
Tease (April, 1996)
Cusps (Final draft, June, 1996)
The Fence (July, 1996)
Virgin (On The Ridiculous) (November, 1996) Celeste gave it: 10, 10, 10, and listed it as one of her Top 100 for 1996
It's Not Cheating (February, 1997)
Unmasked (December, 1997) This one's a bit odd; it's part of my take on superheroes. Note: This story was formerly on Joan E. Lloyd's pay site Secrets For Lovers... because she bought rights to this story for six months. Reviewed by LeAnna in Celestial Reviews #300 (10,10,10) and by Lady Cyrrh in the Annex Reviews, 8/30/98 (A+). Thank you, ladies.
Pidge's Story (February, 1998) Celeste kindly gave it 10, 10, 10. Yes, it's Ben from Unwrap Party and the Pidge mentioned therein.
Just This Once (February, 1998) Another one Celeste kindly gave a 10, 10, 10.
Autobiographical Essay (March, 1998) True? False? Well, that's up to you. But then, it's the nature of fiction that you should always decide what is true and false...
That Long Distance Feeling (November, 1997). What artifact of 20th century culture do I expect to survive into the next century? Why, Penthouse Forum, of course...
In Memory of You (August, 2001) I don't think this marriage can be saved...
Nothing Like Ruby (November, 2001) A stroke story about getting a fantasy.
Haunted (November, 2001) A ghost story, written for the ASSTR 5th anniversary contest; my job was to write a story about the them "On The Road."
The Wedding Night (2002) This began as a writing exercise, but I like it enough to call it a story.
Think Of It (2002) Is it rape or isn't it?
A Clean Taste (July 2003) A dark little piece that may leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Friday 13 LXXXVII (August 2003) Another dark little flash piece that nibbles at an idea I've had for a while. This is the last Friday 13 movie...

Pushing the Envelope

Pushing the Envelope is a novel I'm writing, and releasing a chapter at a time. Given all the other stuff in my life (lives?), you can expect to see it finished sometime around 2010. (grin)

A Question of Etiquette (1993)
Lost and Found (October, 1995)
Interlude, with Coffee (November, 1997)

As an experiment, I tracked the process of writing a story (Cusps). You get to see each version as it exists when I get up from the keyboard. This may not be to everyone's tastes (was it Oliver Wendell Holmes who said, "Those who love sausages and law should watch neither being made?"), but I'd find it interesting.

You can find it here.

Just for Fun

These aren't really stories, but they were fun.

Kitchen Interlude

I don't believe this actually qualifies as a story--it's more a vignette or a scene, but a case could be made that it's a story. In any case, it's short, about 650 words.

A Matter of Style

The challenge was to use the phrase "a post-modern 69". The result was this.

Masturbation Terms for Women

There's no reason women can't have as many rude terms for masturbation as men have...

The High Dive

The challenge was to write a complete erotic episode in 200 words. Did I manage? You decide.

Under The Blindfold

Not as short as Dive, but with a similar theme and mood.

Submitted by Catalyst, the sequel:: ...Later That Same Blindfold

In Our Tenth Year On The Yellow Brick Road

Suppose Dorothy and the others had been tricked by the Witch at some point so it took them a lot longer to get to the Emerald City...

The e-zine Lust So Stories was also running one of my stories, "That Long Distance Feeling," as part of its fiction contest...

Other Idle Thoughts

Obviously I need a new idle thought. Except I haven't been idle for long enough.

Old Tales

What, you're still here?

I used to write on an Atari ST with WordPerfect. When I switched (for business reasons) to a PC-clone with Word, I archived the old stories and forgot about them. Last week I found them again. Here are a couple...

Warning:

They're not erotica. In fact, they're both sort of comedy-horror.
I don't think they're particularly good. I don't say that to be self-effacing, because I hope they're not as good as what I'm writing now; I'd like to think I've gotten better in the last ten years.

A Letter From Alison
Night Deposit

Unfinished Business

Because you've made the effort to come here, you deserve a little something extra. So here are some unfinished things. I either discovered I didn't really know what the story was about, or I ran out of steam. I keep them around as a spur; I might finish them someday.

Feel free to send me comments on these bits and pieces (or on anything), but don't ask me for the "rest of it" because there isn't any more. Emphatically, I repeat: These aren't finished stories!
