My Gawd! and Other Stories
Author: Fairbanks
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1543407226
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
My Gawd! and Other Stories by Fairbanksjust the one word, like Moses, like Prince. My Gawd! Is that allowed? Can you write that? If it was a film, it would be rated R: adults only. But not rated X by any means; this is not erotica. Thats the fun of the clever writing. Its fiction! It sometimes gets very close to the line, but then it backs off. There are only a couple of jolts in retrospect. Some stories have no sex at all. (Does sex between insects count?) This is a collection of thirteen short stories set out as one per month plus New Years. It is fun to take up the authors suggestion and read the last story first (and then again at the end). This tantalizing New Years story is written as a play, and the other one is a humorous narrative poem. The stories are full of interesting and varied charactersyoung, old, male, female, ordinary, eccentric, naughty, and nice. Settings include the authors backyard, Central Australia, other rural backgrounds, and Canberra. Each short story is different, holding the readers interest and moving along without dragging. There are no boring bits at all. There is poetry in the prose, touching descriptions of setting and character. Two of the stories are longer, giving the reader the chance to follow an interesting plot and the characters more fully. Watch out for the famous Fairbanks twist! Lots of marketing potential with this one! Put it on your bedside table and read one story a night for fun and for titillation. The next Fifty Shades? The naughty outback Aussies version. My gawd!

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
In the post-apocalyptic City, surviving Squatters are going missing from their underground bunkers. Whispered rumors at the black market claim the Maniot dictator -- the beautiful but soulless Commander Tenjor -- is systematically killing off anyone who objects to his tyranny. No one dares stand up to him. No one except Darrid, a rad mutant freak and the rebel leader of a secret Maniot committee. He's determined to overthrow Tenjor's corrupt regime. And he knows just who can help him. Enter Islet, the foul-mouthed Squatter he catches breaching the heavily guarded gates of the Citadel. The cunning little whore will provide him with an excuse to enter Tenjor's inner sanctum...if she will only allow him to train her in proper Maniot submission. To avoid punishment for illegal trespass, Islet agrees. That's what Darrid thinks, anyway. Until he samples Islet's style of submission. And finds himself knocked unconscious. Taking orders just isn't Islet's thing. The alpha femme doesn't obey anyone, and that anyone includes a certain rad mutant freak. That's what Islet thinks, anyway. Until she samples Darrid's style of mutant dominance. And gets her own freak on.
