To make up for the lack of new chapters I have put my anthology of short fiction, Sex Ray Specs, on sale for just $.99 for a limited time. Not a lot to pay for over 50,000 words and a dozen stories ranging from tender to transgressive. Okay, to be fair, most of them are fairly twisted...I am fairly twisted, so it just makes sense my stories would be as well.
And, to sweeten the pot, I thought I would post a little unpublished snippet of flash fiction, just because I hate not meeting my chapter posting goals.
MUSE
When the world is quiet and still he
comes to me. Tendrils of power drift around him in a graceful,
kinetic dance, arcing from his hands to my flesh, burning their way
through my synapses, at odds with the frigid bite of his skin. The
soft smokey murmur in my ear pins me as certainly as too dark eyes
and all thoughts of protest dissipate. He smells of ginger and
cloves, sharp, seductive, hypnotic. Glass, stone, metal and bone
woven into shaggy locks sing their own melody and I'm drowning under
the onslaught, sinking into a place only he can drive me. When the
whispers turn dark he dances, twisting and twirling, horns scribing
the text into my flesh as the heady tang of copper mingles with
spice. Then he smiles, a slight quirk of his lip, the tip of a pink
tongue flicking out to taste my fears, my dreams, my essence encoded
in my DNA. I would run, I would hide, I would surrender my soul for
words of pleasure and pain. The rustle of finished pages, the itch of
newly healed flesh, the secret of my success, he follows his own
path. As for myself, I live to sleep and dream of my other half, this
cruel symbiote without whom I am lost.
And, of course, the sale links...because what is the point of telling you about a sale without giving you the means to get in on it!
Love the flash fiction! Well come to think of it, I have never read anything of yours that I didn't love. Powerful and moving, as always.
