Disclaimer: Mine! All mine! Haha just kidding. No seriously, this is my own original piece of fiction that came from my own little complicated mind. I only want to thank my friend Rachel for giving me the influence (and deadline) to finish this after it sat untouched and uncompleted for two years.
Summary: Jill, who's nearly a life long vampire finds herself too deep into it one night and that causes her to begin to question her life style and even more so after meeting Casey, a "non-drinker" and the possibility of a romance between the two. Faced with accusations from her vampire group that she's turned her back on them and pressure from her family about still being single and her own frustration she's forced to choose. In order to do so she must look inside of herself, look back at her past and how it's brought her to this point and see who she really is and what she really wants for her future.

Story summary: Two guards. Two prisoners. A multitude of problems.

Here's a full list of the original slash and original gen stories I've posted online or published as e-books in the past year. They're original works of fantasy, historical fantasy, and contemporary fiction, which feature liegemen, servants, slaves, sailors, prisoners, bottoms, and/or 18-year-old students. (I also list a couple of fan fiction stories, in the litfic category.) As the boilerplate warning for all my stories puts it, "All of the stories feature love or respect, though sometimes it takes a while to get there."
The list below shows both my online fiction and my e-books. If you'd like to buy an HTML e-book containing all of my writings as of July 2010 (over a million words of fiction and 30 collections of fiction recommendations and nonfiction), visit Love in Dark Settings Omnibus. If there are any topics you prefer not to read about, be sure to read the warnings I link to.
If you prefer to browse by series or story cover, you can visit my home page. If you want to, you can Friend my blog or sign up for my updates e-mail list. ( The list of this year's stories )

Here's the synopsis:
Allen Delais’s memories are elusive, inseparable from his dreams. He remembers a home but not how to get there, and he wants to go back. All he has to give him a clue is a divine Mark beside his left eye. Three and a half years later, he’s no closer to an answer. In the meanwhile, he’s earned a commission for himself in the King’s Griffins, the elite core of the royal legions.
A chance event brings him to the king’s attention, and it seems the divine has a plan in store for him as well. The nobles in the kingdom are plotting treason, other kingdoms are on the move, and a dark god is turning his eye to expanding his territory. Allen Delais manages to find himself at the center of it all, struggling to keep the peace. But his real job isn’t for the king. It’s for his goddess.
Her name is Alianna.
If you like a lot of action, politics, and divine influences, this one's for you. The pacing picks up the most at the more recent chapters. The beginning ones help to set the scene. But if you want some fights, just skip to Ch. 9. You'll figure out what's going on.
Wild Ativan, a man who builds a worldview based on auditory hallucinations

With painted Words now has a wonderful new website (even if I am slightly biased). Not only does it look wonderful but now features a fully automated submission section that will be seen as a blessing for anyone wanting to submit their work to us ... not to mention what the back-end, content management system is doing to make our lives all that much easier!
This edition sees work from our oldest - and possibly best known - contributor in Hugh Fox (he said thanks for publishing him - I say thanks for giving me the chance to publish him!) as well as from our youngest, in Jennifer Michelle Norris. I hope that you enjoy their work, as well as that of the other two contributors, as much as we did.
