Kicked out of college and harassed by his lawyer, Miles Faber abandons New York and embarks on a defiant pilgrimage across the Caribbean to find the shrine of Sib Legeru, an obscure poet and painter. But in the streets of Castita's capital, where a wild religious festival is in full swing, a series of bizarre encounters - including his own repulsive doppelgänger (the son of a circus bird-woman) - and disturbing family revelations await Miles, who soon finds himself a willing victim of dynastic destiny. A darkly surreal comedy of dazzling linguistic inventiveness, MF is an outrageous tale of blood, lust and the machinations of fate.

In March 2020, I scored a new job, turned forty, and the world shut down. I was out of work for about six weeks. About a month or so after returning to work, I learned that I was twelve weeks pregnant! While yes, the pregnancy was blissful, my job made existing while pregnant pretty damn difficult. In the midst of fighting for respect and a better position in the company, I started writing poems while commuting to and from work on the train. Later on, I started writing little musings to go along with the poems. These writings (and soon art pieces) continued after I resigned from that company to work for another who turned out to not be that much better about me being a new mother to a tiny baby. The little one was born by the completion of these pieces, but the anger that accompanied the treatment I received remained. The result is this collection.

Apprentice wizard Lysander has been having one hell of a year at the Academy of Magicks. His mistress, the powerful High Magistrix Tyana Silverheart, has been giving it to him hot and heavy over the past couple weeks, and the young wizard has been feeling his magical prowess grow by leaps and bounds, even if he's spent most of that time bound... Still, this carnal work is still work, and it seems that the load is getting a little heavy for just two people, no matter how powerful they might be. And as Lysander discovers the identity of their new initiate, he's going to discover that those who he might be closest to might have some devious magical talents of their own... This steamy wizard tale is just under 8000 words of dark fantasy featuring group play, wickedly lascivious uses of magic and shapeshifting, hot wizards, dark elves, dominant women, and submissive men.
