Short Stories

Most of work is in serial form, but I do write some stand-alone stories.

The first, is a romance titled Love on a Family Cruise. The title pretty much tells you the plot, but I think you'll like it.

For my second short story, I have gone mainstream; Like Father, Not Like Son I have published on FictionPress.com, hoping to attract a broader audience. Rick takes his 19-year old son Sam to a private block party so Sam can meet girls, only older-than-she-looks redhead Alana seems to have a lot more in common with Rick than Sam. A beautiful woman like that could never be interested in an older man like Rick--could she? It's actually not my first submission to FictionPress; my first story, where I cut my first teeth as a an author, I published there, but since it is no longer up to my standards I have removed it (it was called The Fire) and relegated that to a practice exercise.

Another mainstream short story: The Green Lady is the story of Steve, a man at the end of his rope: laid off, his fiancee gone, and almost out of unemployment, he develops a dangerous habit of making late-night trips to Lover's Leap. Then one night he finds someone else is already there: Carrie, a beautiful co-ed he has met before at the eponymous coffee shop, is standing on the wrong side of the railing. His prior purpose is forgotten, and all his energies are directed to talking her out of jumping. A friendship is born--but how far will their relationship take them?

Story number three: Brandy is a star volleyball player, and Will has had his eyes on her since they were both freshman in high school--only to Brandy, Will doesn't exist. Their paths go different ways until they meet again as juniors in college, when Will serves as a physical trainer for Brandy's team. When the girls plan a major party, Will is brought in on the plan so that he won't inform the athletic department. Unfortunately the party turns disastrously wrong, throwing Brandy and Will into a situation where they must rely on each other to survive. As consequences from the party disaster unfold, Brandy and Will's relationship is changed forever...

In The Ballerina, Mike goes to see the season performance of the Nutcracker Ballet and is enthralled by the sensual performance of the Arabian Dance soloist. Back at work doing in-home computer repairs, her name is on his list of calls, although he doesn't recognize it at first because the service request is in her real not her stage name. As he works, he chats with her, and she seems very open to a guy that isn't a dancer and yet knows about ballet. But when his work is done, they go their separate ways and that is that. If only he could find some way to see her again, and maybe get to know her better...

Going back to Literotica, Carrie Ann and the Wayward Sons (get it?) is the story of a group of guys that get together regularly for a little exotic entertainment. One of them has run across Carrie Ann, a regular teenager by day (Carrie), a true submissive at night (Anna). The night she provides the entertainment is one they will not soon forget...

Perhaps my most hard-core story yet, in Secretaries in Bondage Jack is sent across the country to take over a newly acquired company. Jack is puzzled by four seemingly administrative staff earning six-figure salaries...until the company's founder arranges for them to demonstrate their special talents that don't appear on their resumes...

My 25th story-- Semper F***: The Secret Advisor is the tale of a Marine posted in an Eastern European country where he isn't supposed to be advising the local army in a war that almost no one in the West knows is happening. He quickly learns that the armies like to take each other's women--and that porn is one of the cheif exports that keeps the country afloat. During an attack, he runs into an internationally-renowned porn star that is desperate to get out of the country. She makes a "business proposition" that unexpectedly becomes a lot more complicated...

Crisis Management is somewhat more relationship-oriented than most stories since Like Father, Not Like Son, so I put in the "Romance" section of Literotica. The title refers to the global financial crisis, which plays an integral role in the story...

Prince Bonir

Prince Bonir (boh-neer, and don't you forget it) is a new serial about a medieval prince, the youngest son of the Duke of Averic. All stories are published at Literotica.

Volume 1: The Duke of Averic: As he is not the heir to the throne, the Prince is sent to military training, where he rises to the rank of knight in the King's Elite guard. But then a plague takes both his father and his older brother, and suddenly young Bonir finds himself the new Duke. Trying to restore order to the chaos he finds, Bonir finds a young woman, an accused witch, chained in his dungeon in a most provocative fashion. Bonir realizes there is much about his father he did not know. But she, Eve, is willing to use all the tools at her disposal to avoid being turned over to the Church's inquisition, and it seems she has knowledge of an unknown but potentially useful device...something she calls a sheath...

Volume 2: The Scarlet Witch: The superstitious people of Averic believe they see witchcraft all around them! A flame-haired young waif who will not even speak in her own defense is brought to him. Under pressure from the Archbishop, the Prince must resort to extreme measures to prove she is not a witch. When a crooked Captain from her home province attempts to repatriate her by force, the Duke must defend her. The virginal Arianna will stop at nothing to show her admiration and gratitude for her new lord...

Volume 3: The Roman Orgy. Word gets around fast, and soon a steady stream of young women accused of witchcraft are headed towards Averic. The Prince comes up with a novel solution to the problem they present. The grateful young ladies wants to show him their appreciation--but the Prince is not interested in material things, the only thing he really appreciates is, well, women. And so the crafty ladies of the "Wytches Hotel" throw a surprise party for the Duke's birthday...with a decidedly Roman theme...in every sense of the word...

Volume 4: Defense of the Realm: Bonir's cousin's coronation as the new king is interrupted by a Viking attack. Bonir is charged with defending the western provinces, eventually leading to the discovery of a new Viking fortress. Bonir captures the fort, then waits for the inevitable counterattack. In the process he runs across a fiercely independent female warrior. Her bravery and independence intrigue him...and they are both lonely souls in a far away place...

Volume 5: A Duchess for the Duke. Returning home, Bonir awaits the King of Norway and his three daughters to arrive to seal their treaty. The three daughters vie for the chance to become Duchess of Averic--but little do they suspect that the most important qualification is getting along with the Prince's existing concubines...
