Love's Labour
A/N: This is a serial novel, meaning it is uploaded in parts. Here is a Table of Contents for this series. It is also a sequel to a work now available on Amazon. The work should be stand alone, but character motivations and relationships will be better understood after reading the first book.

Mother's Shells
A/N: This work deals heavily with themes of psychosis and sleep paralysis. When BET-2102 first saw the phantom she was waist deep in Val Lake. Her hands were full of mussel shells. The water was so still the afternoon sun was perfectly mirrored. She was squinting but able to see the hazy outline of a woman on the opposite shore. She shifted the other half of her horde into her left hand and raised the right to shade her eyes.

Red Ruby Seeds
A/N: This story deals heavily in cannibalism as a cultural practice. It also features decapitation and themes of war. The tree stood as the road between heaven and the earth. Its branches grazed the rush of stars overhead and its roots twisted into the rocky soil of the plains. Its rotund trunk and lush foliage spoke of years of survival in this harsh place. Its limbs groaned with dull red fruit, their corpulent bodies split on the ground all around their mother, their wet innards glistening in the moonlight.

Don't Tell Writers "Tell a Good Story"
“If everyone could write a good story, then we would have nothing but good stories.” This is the most obvious statement in the world. Unless you’re a Dada-ist, or in modern parlance a “shitposter", you are more than likely making an effort to appeal to some sort of audience. Yet we all know there are plenty of piss-poor works of fiction in the world. You can probably name at least one novel you hate. One popular author you consider over-rated. Hemmingway.

The Red Mark
In a country in a distant place, two families were warring. The feud had gone on for so long no one could quite remember the original cause. The present hostilities were based on more recent grudges and murders. One family was named Wren, the other Fox. Both desired to control the countryside and eradicate their enemy.
