Graphic sexual content is included within this anthology.

Blurb for The Beasts of Hank's Wood

Joe Schola III is the eighteen-year-old son of Joseph Schola Junior, a fire-and-brimstone preaching Fundamentalist televangelist. While young Joe is far less homophobic than his father, he is struggling to come to terms with his own sexual orientation. Will Joe dare accept the invitation to become part of a clan of shapeshifters, and will he accept the love being offered to him by the handsome fox shifter Lovell Azarola?

Read the previous snippet here:

“You might never make MVP, Joey, but you’re a good solid player,” Dad declared, patting my shoulder. “You were the most dependable Behemoth for three years in a row.”

“My son the Dependable Behemoth,” I mused, feeling happy as Dad leaned against me, grinning. I loved being with him when he was like this.

Dad and I were a study in contrasts. He stood just five feet six inches tall, a portly middle-aged WASP with a bit of a pot belly.

The Quest for the Wizard's Key: Strange Visitors #8Sunday #SnipSun

 

Genre: Sci-Fi Fantasy

Length: 60,000 Words

Heat Level: 1 Flame (light romance)

Blurb

The Quest for the Wizard's Key is the second book in a series of New Cthulhu Mythos tales. This fix-up novel features a fascinating cast of outcasts joining in a quest to save the Cosmos from destruction by malevolent forces. Join them on their madcap journey.

Are you tired of the same old formulaic romance dance?

Are you sick of slap-dash slashers and predictable plot point rehashers?

Are you at the end of your rope with sparkly vampires and sexy werewolves?

Have you had it up to here with silly space operas where the otherworldly setting is just a veneer for the randy crew to make out with aliens?

Is it time to drop the buddy cops and stop watching the detectives for a while?

My friend, let the New Weird Tales refresh you!

You’ve tried the rest, now it’s time for the best. Welcome to an adventure like no other!

Read last week's snippet here:

http://www.naughtynetherworldpress.com/2022/12/the-quest-for-silver-key-meeting-king.html

“Why do they suppose that I would have this key?” King Rokon inquired.

“They do not believe that you have the key, Sire,” the guard clarified. “The Yithian brought them to this dimension in order to escape some sort of malevolent entity.”

“So, these are Yithians?”

“The one that led them through the gate from Lake Hali is a Yithian, my king.”

“Of what variety are these other visitors?”

“One is a human spirit and the other two are former humans transformed into ghouls.”

Notes

This fix-up novel follows the events that transpired in Ketil and Yitzy’s Adventures in the Xura Dream House. The book can be read as a standalone, but for a better understanding of the characters and events, it is suggested that Ketil and Yitzy’s Adventure in the Xura Dream House should be read first. It is a fun, fast-paced buddy story. Grab your copy here!

Once you have read Ketil and Yitzy’s Adventure, you will be In the Know so you can be In with the In Crowd! Then you can join us at the Kewl Eldritch Horrors table.

I am currently doing final edits and managing the book's details on Amazon. A pre-order link should be available soon.

When I was a senior in high school, my televangelist father provided me with a list of ten colleges he recommended. I selected Elk Grove Christian College for Men, located in Parsard, a bedroom community of Billings. Mountain Ridge Christian Women’s College was located in nearby Coboia. I knew I wanted to be involved in athletics, and EGCC had a thriving sports program. I initially considered joining the rugby team, but Dad wanted me to play football. My height and weight were just right for a quarterback at six feet one and 225 pounds.

“Revered Leader, we have visitors from the Third Dimension.”

The speaker was a great snake with flexible, boneless arms. He held a trident in one hand. His golden scales glittered under the red sun that baked the desert world of Zandanua.

“Indeed,” mused the mighty emerald-scaled anthropomorphic snake king seated on the colossal throne of red stone in the grand hall of Ajnevan Palace. “Were they sent by my brother, Yig?”

“They are renegades, Mighty One,” the guard explained. “They are searching for a key to assist in solving a quest given them by Nyarlathotep.”

I had a million questions, some of them not suitable for polite company. I’d not only pictured myself turning into a werewolf, but I’d also read and masturbated to gay shifter erotica, including the most graphic of graphic novels. Was it acceptable for a wolf shifter to mate with a fox shifter? While some lore says yes, other tales say no. Either way, I suppose it only mattered to Lovell and me.

I shuddered as Lovell nudged my hand with his cold nose.

Notes

In the past, some folks have complained about the brevity of my snippets. In this case, I am under a contractual obligation not to share more than 500 words from the anthology until it has been published on February 23, 2023. 

As a secondary consideration, I like to share snippets from stories featuring lesbian, gay, or bisexual characters with the Rainbow Snippets blog hop. This group likes six-sentence snippets: one sentence for each color of the rainbow.

Also, since many of my works are novelettes or shorter, I prefer brief snippets. I don't want to give away the entire book within the space of a month!

"Could I see what you're working on?" 

"Sure. Come on up."

The girl appeared to float just above the ground as she crossed the lawn. Her rose-colored lips bowed in a reserved smile. As she drew closer, Valentins noticed her unusual eyes. At first, he supposed that the rufous shade was a trick of the
light, but the color remained constant when the battery-operated lantern shone directly on the girl's face.
