Book excerpt: Summary: Two friends are desperate for shelter as they are surprised by a heavy thunderstorm. The young women can see no other alternative than to take cover in the old abandoned mill, which is said to be haunted. Cold and miserable, they have to lie close together under a couple of horse blankets to keep warm. And then, a kissing game gets out of hand… Keywords: Romantic friendship, kissing game, ghost story, haunted mill, lesbian relations. An extract from the story: Agnes realized that this was the moment in which they both should immediately stop what they were doing, but for some reason she just could not. Her own hands refused to do what she ordered them to, and abandoned Catherine’s soft shoulders to touch her small, but lovely, bosom gently through the corset. In turn, Catherine let her fingers slip under her friend’s chemise and explored the naked part of Agnes’s thighs and bottom. “This–this is not really happening, is it?” Agnes whispered, breathless as Catherine started to undo her corset.

Book excerpt: Summary: There is an old rose garden across the fields behind Halifax manor in Yorkshire where no one ever comes. Abandoned for years, moss and climbing ivy vines have long ago claimed the wooden pergolas and overgrown the white marble statues around the forgotten pond in the middle of the garden. No one ever comes there except Georgina; a young woman who everyone thinks is a little bit peculiar ever since that strange accident. But when her brother hires a couple of workers and a new gardener from the village to help clear up the gardens around the estate, everything will change... An extract from the story: “Did you not know that it is forbidden to run in the rose garden?” he mumbled and kissed my hair softly. “You made that up,” I accused him and tried to move away from him; however, he would not let me get away. Instead, he pulled me closer, and kissed and gently nibbled my earlobe. It tickled a little, but I also found it rather exciting, something that I knew he was perfectly aware of. I shivered despite the warm summer day. “There is a punishment for running in my garden,” he continued and left a trail of soft kisses along my throat. I felt his grip around my waist increase slightly, and one of his hands travelled downwards and stroked my lower back. My heart beat faster, which was not entirely a result of having been running. “There is not.” I giggled in protest. “Besides, technically it is my garden and not yours! The old rose garden belongs to my family’s estate, after all.” “No one can own a garden, you silly girl. It belongs to the person who takes care of it, of course. Everyone knows that...” Keywords: Love story, roses, lighting storm, longing, sensual erotica.

Book excerpt: “Secrets and Seduction” is a short story collection of five newly written Victorian romantic and erotic short stories and includes the following stories: The Lady in White Fallen Woman Nightly Hunting French Liaisons The Old Rose Garden Please note: These short stories includes erotic adult themes such as: Forbidden desire, romantic liaisons, debauchery, seduction, bisexual, threesome (MFF), semi-rough lovemaking, sensual erotica, and lesbian romance themes. Extracts from the stories: “But still, this was nothing like that. It truly was the most innocent kiss. Nothing more, and nothing less,” he thought as he gently pressed his lips against hers. And there was something absolutely maddening about kissing this slow and careful. Something perfectly irresistible about kissing so softly and restrained with the knowledge of what could be should they crossed the line. “Like walking on spring ice when you are tipsy,” Ewan thought. Exhilarating, fun, but utterly dangerous." - From the short story “The Lady in White” An extract from the story: “For months I had longed for her, even though I had not completely understood it myself, or perhaps was unwilling to admit it, and now when she was in my arms, kissing me and caressing my breasts through the black linen maid’s dress, it felt like my skin was on fire everywhere she touched me.” - From the short story “Fallen Woman” “Warm, soft skin and ringlets of chestnut-coloured hair clouded his mind, obscured his vision and repeatedly diverted his focus. And when she skilfully managed to undo his coarse wool trousers so that his naked hardness suddenly was allowed to press directly against her unclad thighs and bottom, he knew that the battle was lost.” - From the short story “Nightly Hunting” “At first he could not exactly identify what it was that was wrong, distracted by the combination of increasing carnal lust and the fact that his attentiveness was somewhat diminished since he had just woken up. Therefore, it was not until he felt a second female body embracing him from behind and a soft thigh entangle itself in between his own legs that Louis understood that something was very clearly amiss. “Qu’est-ce qui se passe?” he asked out loud in French, too confused to remember to speak English. ‘What is happening?' - From the short story “French Liaisons” Product details: Category: Victorian Romance and Erotica Format: Kindle eBook Written and published: 2013 Length: ~ 35500 words Proofread by Pauline Nolet Publisher: My Secret Quill About the author: Lady T.

Book excerpt: Summary: Young Miss Rosalie Dawson is troubled about her future happiness; she is to marry Lord Peter Whittingham, an extremely handsome gentleman with both connections and money. There is only one problem: Her fiancé has the most tarnished reputation and it is said that he frequently visits both brothels and molly houses. In fact, he is a perfect rakehell, to be honest. However, Rosalie’s closest friend, Alexandra, has a suggestion of a rather dubious nature that may solve everything. But, her proposal involves her husband too, the marquis Louis Clermont-Tonnerre. Keywords: Inappropriate suggestions, seduction, debauchery, Ménage à trois (M/F/F), France. An extract from the story: However, somewhere in the back of his still-rather-drowsy mind, Louis noted absentmindedly that there was something that was not quite right. At first he could not exactly identify what it was that was wrong, distracted by the combination of increasing carnal lust and the fact that his attentiveness was somewhat diminished since he had just woken up. Therefore, it was not until he felt a second female body embracing him from behind and a soft thigh entangle itself in between his own legs that Louis understood that something was very clearly amiss. “Qu’est-ce qui se passe?” he asked out loud in French, too confused to remember to speak English. ‘What is happening?’ Product details: Category: Victorian Romance and Erotica Format: Kindle eBook Written and published: 2013 Length: Afternoon delight (~6600 words) Publisher: My Secret Quill About the author: Lady T.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Radclyffe Hall was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Well of Loneliness' is a novel that follows an upper-class Englishwoman who falls in love with another woman while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I. Marguerite Radclyffe Hall was born on 12th August 1880, in Bournemouth, England. Hall's first novel The Unlit Lamp (1924) was a lengthy and grim tale that proved hard to sell. It was only published following the success of the much lighter social comedy The Forge (1924), which made the best-seller list of John O'London's Weekly. Hall is a key figure in lesbian literature for her novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). This is her only work with overt lesbian themes and tells the story of the life of a masculine lesbian named Stephen Gordon.

Book excerpt: The unforgettable story of a young woman's odyssey through a series of Los Angeles foster homes on her journey to redemption. Astrid is the only child of a single mother, Ingrid, a brilliant, obsessed poet who wields her luminous beauty to intimidate and manipulate men. Astrid worships her mother and cherishes their private world full of ritual and mystery - but their idyll is shattered when Astrid's mother falls apart over a lover. Deranged by rejection, Ingrid murders the man, and is sentenced to life in prison. White Oleander is the unforgettable story of Astrid's journey through a series of foster homes and her efforts to find a place for herself in impossible circumstances. Each home is its own universe, with a new set of laws and lessons to be learned. With determination and humor, Astrid confronts the challenges of loneliness and poverty, and strives to learn who a motherless child in an indifferent world can become. Oprah Winfrey enjoyed this gripping first novel so much that she not only made it her book club pick, she asked if she could narrate the audio release.

I enjoyed it very much." - www.short-fiction.co.uk - "...It's a lovely story..." - www.oystersandchocolate.com - Rated four stars by readers’ reviews. - www.shortstories101.com - Extracts from the stories: “…Not responsible for my actions…” she whispered slowly and stood up, tip-toe, and kissed him. He was too surprised to draw back and when he tried, she had already placed her unexpectedly strong arms around his neck and he lacked the strength to pry them away. In fact, he felt strangely helpless, like it was someone else who acted instead of him, as he kissed her back. His hands involuntarily reached her waist and pulled her closer.” - From the short story “View of a cemetery” “This, this is not really happening, is it?” Agnes whispered, breathless as Catherine started to undo her corset. “No, of course it is not,” Catherine agreed, suppressing a small moan of delight as she pulled down the upper part of the linen undergarment and very attentively and experimentally kissed Agnes’ soft round breasts. - From the short story “Wildflowers” “No, no, none of that…” he said teasingly, but reluctantly, as he moved her hands away. “Not yet,” he added and smiled roguish at her disappointed sigh. I stayed petrified in front of the window as the scene continued before me. I felt feverish and out of breath myself, wishing with all my heart that someone would make love to me like that, but also keenly aware of that I was watching something entirely private and that it was both wicked and wrong of me to stay and look. - From the short story “Booklover” Product details: #9 on the Top 10 list of Victorian Erotica Romance (Amazon US) #86 on the Top 100 list of Erotica Fiction (Amazon UK) Category: Victorian Romance and Erotica Format: Kindle eBook Written and published: 2011 Length: ~ 20800 words (each story is short and sweet ~2500 words) Proofread by Nicolas Ambrose Publisher: My Secret Quill About the author: Lady T.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller • Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize • An Oprah's Book Club Selection “Powerful . . . [Kingsolver] has with infinitely steady hands worked the prickly threads of religion, politics, race, sin and redemption into a thing of terrible beauty.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review The Poisonwood Bible, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, established Barbara Kingsolver as one of the most thoughtful and daring of modern writers. Taking its place alongside the classic works of postcolonial literature, it is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in Africa. The story is told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it—from garden seeds to Scripture—is calamitously transformed on African soil. The novel is set against one of the most dramatic political chronicles of the twentieth century: the Congo's fight for independence from Belgium, the murder of its first elected prime minister, the CIA coup to install his replacement, and the insidious progress of a world economic order that robs the fledgling African nation of its autonomy. Against this backdrop, Orleanna Price reconstructs the story of her evangelist husband's part in the Western assault on Africa, a tale indelibly darkened by her own losses and unanswerable questions about her own culpability. Also narrating the story, by turns, are her four daughters—the teenaged Rachel; adolescent twins Leah and Adah; and Ruth May, a prescient five-year-old. These sharply observant girls, who arrive in the Congo with racial preconceptions forged in 1950s Georgia, will be marked in surprisingly different ways by their father's intractable mission, and by Africa itself. Ultimately each must strike her own separate path to salvation. Their passionately intertwined stories become a compelling exploration of moral risk and personal responsibility.

Book excerpt: Part of the regionalist movement that included Grant Wood, Paul Engle, Hamlin Garland, and Jay G. Sigmund, James Hearst helped create what Iowa novelist Ruth Suckow called a poetry of place. A lifelong Iowa farner, Hearst began writing poetry at age nineteen and eventually wrote thirteen books of poems, a novel, short stories, cantatas, and essays, which gained him a devoted following Many of his poems were published in the regionalist periodicals of the time, including the Midland, and by the great regional presses, including Carroll Coleman's Prairie Press. Drawing on his experiences as a farmer, Hearst wrote with a distinct voice of rural life and its joys and conflicts, of his own battles with physical and emotional pain (he was partially paralyzed in a farm accident), and of his own place in the world. His clear eye offered a vision of the midwestern agrarian life that was sympathetic but not sentimental - a people and an art rooted in place.

Book excerpt: Zuleika Dobson, or, an Oxford love story, is the only novel by English essayist Max Beerbohm, a satire of undergraduate life at Oxford published in 1911. It includes the famous line "Death cancels all engagements" and presents a corrosive view of Edwardian Oxford. The all-male campus of Oxford—Beerbohm’s alma mater—is a place where aesthetics holds sway above all else, and where witty intellectuals reign. Things haven’t changed for its privileged student body for years . . . until the beguiling music-hall prestidigitator Zuleika Dobson shows up. The book’s marvelous prose dances along the line between reality and the absurd as students and dons alike fall at Zuleika’s feet, and she cuts a wide swath across the campus—until she encounters one young aristocrat for whom she is astonished to find she has feelings. As Zuleika, and her creator, zero in on their targets, the book takes some surprising and dark twists on its way to a truly startling ending—an ending so striking that readers will understand why Virginia Woolf said that “Mr. Beerbohm in his way is perfect.” In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Zuleika Dobson 59th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. This is the unforgettable story of how Christopher Johnson McCandless came to die. "It may be nonfiction, but Into the Wild is a mystery of the highest order." —Entertainment Weekly McCandess had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Not long after, he was dead. Into the Wild is the mesmerizing, heartbreaking tale of an enigmatic young man who goes missing in the wild and whose story captured the world’s attention. Immediately after graduating from college in 1991, McCandless had roamed through the West and Southwest on a vision quest like those made by his heroes Jack London and John Muir. In the Mojave Desert he abandoned his car, stripped it of its license plates, and burned all of his cash. He would give himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp, and, unencumbered by money and belongings, he would be free to wallow in the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature presented. Craving a blank spot on the map, McCandless simply threw the maps away. Leaving behind his desperate parents and sister, he vanished into the wild. Jon Krakauer constructs a clarifying prism through which he reassembles the disquieting facts of McCandless's short life. Admitting an interest that borders on obsession, he searches for the clues to the drives and desires that propelled McCandless. When McCandless's innocent mistakes turn out to be irreversible and fatal, he becomes the stuff of tabloid headlines and is dismissed for his naiveté, pretensions, and hubris. He is said to have had a death wish but wanting to die is a very different thing from being compelled to look over the edge. Krakauer brings McCandless's uncompromising pilgrimage out of the shadows, and the peril, adversity, and renunciation sought by this enigmatic young man are illuminated with a rare understanding—and not an ounce of sentimentality. Into the Wild is a tour de force. The power and luminosity of Jon Krakauer's stoytelling blaze through every page.
