New Story: "Running On Empty"

After almost two years, it's time to put up a new story!

The story, "Running On Empty," is now available for sale on Amazon.

"Running On Empty" is the story of Riley Merchant, a college student with a troubled past and an uncertain future. I intend for this to be the start of a series of shorter, much more explicitly erotic stories than anything I've put out before. After some exposition to set up the universe, the story dives right in with graphic depictions of sex. If you like that kind of thing, you should like this story. If you like your stories a little more PG rated, this is not the story or the series for you! The rating here is definitely NC-17 / X.

I look forward to having an ongoing series in an existing universe I can use to blow off steam from time to time. Plus, I really like the idea of being able to write shorter, more frivolous stories that allow me to publish more often. While there is a meta-story, this series is intended to be some lite (as in low calorie, low mental effort) summer fun for me before going back to other unfinished projects. Those projects are less graphically sexual, are longer, and in general require more thought and effort to get right.

Story Description:

A young man comes home to find his roommate in possession of a real, true magic wand. While the wand’s power isn’t unlimited, there’s enough magic stored within it for the roommate to turn the young man into a sexy young woman cursed with strong sexual appetites and an eagerness to please. But now the magic stored in the wand is all used up. Without more, this man-turned-woman is at the mercy of his own seemly bottomless well of desire.

This story came in at 39 pages in my standard format. It's going up for $2.99, which seems to have become the new standard pricing over at Amazon KDP. While I might still set a higher price for my more typical stories, the ones in this series will all be the $2.99 price point. Or at least that's the plan right now. Oh, and if I ever do a compilation, that will be set at a higher price that's still a savings over buying the stories individually. Maybe even with a dead-tree format? Time will tell.
