ALTERNATIVE FICTION:

ILLUSION by Silk
The third vignette in Silk's passionate APPARITIONS OF LOVE SERIES, this little tale is about a heart conquered by love - a desire so strong it almost doesn't seem real. Very sensual, poetic writing.

CHICAGO 5AM by L.N. James
Chapters 6-7 of this story are now available. Teenagers are disappearing from the streets of Chicago, casualties of a dark subculture based on drugs, sex and rock and roll. Assigned to investigate is Mariel Potidean, a brilliant young FBI agent who soon finds herself teamed with a rather irritating partner - an ex-cop by the name of Tina Amphipoli with a dangerous reputation, a mysterious past and electric blue eyes. In these latest chapters another innocent victim enters a very seedy world while Mariel learns more about her enigmatic new partner. L.N.'s newest delivers an engaging premise with two very strong characters and lots of potential for suspense, drama and romance. DO NOT MISS!

For those of you reading this post who are not familiar with the term alternative (alt.), it refers to ADULT stories that add a romantic element to the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle, depicting them as more than just friends.

Happy reading!
