Sucking It Up is a companion story for In It For Life (the sequel to Prison Island). For people who have already read my two other stories in the same universe, published here, on SOL, it's about Mouse's life in the army, how he got to know captain Reynolds and other people. There will be some intersections with the main storyline from In It For Life, but it will be mainly about Mouse and how he uses his mouth to make friends while serving the country.
A Story in the Naked In School Universe
The first story in what will become a long list of Naked in School stories that I'll be writing. This story takes place at J.C. Elyr High School. Mike & Megan are friends who are drug into The Program. There's also an appearance of a famous movie star who acts as a 3rd person narrator in one chapter. ~NOTE: This is the original, unedited version so there's still a bit of polishing that needs to be done.~
A Story of the Friendly Traveler's Inn
Alan is in town for the week; Pamela is a local who has been unlucky at love. The pair discover one another at a hotel with a unique guest-matching service...
George, a troubled young man barely existing in the shadow of a tragic mistake, wants only to survive high school. However, his life is upended when a gift from his long-dead father turns out to be the vessel of a powerful Genie, and the woman of his dreams.
This is a reimagining of an old story of mine from 2007 called A Beautiful Wish, which is still on this site. It includes a retooled setting with new supporting characters, villains, and love interests. I hope I can do my old work justice.
"Them fuckers in the Services get all the credit for winnin' the goddamn war. But who got their asses shot out of the water to get them their shit, for chrissake? Us fuckers in the Merchant Marine. Goddamn sub-bait." - Cookie Rorke "If you don't like romance, Cookie says go fuck yourself." - Holly Rennick, Merchant Marine Cadet It's hard to explain when you don't speak her language, but then it would be hard for a guy like Cookie to explain even if he did. / (Reviews)
