  LIBERTY NEWS
  We beat WASHINGTON!! We are moving up in the ranks. I didnt hear the whole game but I did hear some thing happened to VJ. I hope its not bad! Well last home game is tonight, hope we win!

  Message from Taleweaver:
  You might remember that some time ago I was working on getting my novel published. I'm very happy to announce that at long last, here it is! It is called A Thousand Shades of Feeling, and the blurb beneath the cover says "A perfect life is about to become anything but..."
  Morrigan Artemis is a writer living happily on a farm with assorted dogs, cats and a few chickens. Her life is an idyllic one, full of peace and tranquility - until her father receives a ransom note. Merlin Alwyn is hired to protect Morrigan from an unseen enemy, but even the best laid plans can go astray. They're in for the fight of their lives and some great adventures ... if they can survive the kidnapping, torture, family secrets and treasure hunt! I had a lot of fun writing this book, and I think you'll enjoy reading it. I've tried very hard to make it unlike any other story out there, and I've also tried to make it very attainable. If you're interested, I can recommend visiting the following page for a closer look at the cover, as well as an excerpt! If you're thinking about purchasing the book, you'll also find ordering information.
  I certainly hope you'll be curious and intrigued enough to get a copy of your own. If you'd like your copy inscribed to you, just let me know and I'd be glad to do that. (Hint, it makes a great gift, too!)

  Sincerely, Carolyn (aka Tale)

• Her Sole Desire by BS Raven on Merwolf's Academy of Bards [original/alt/complete]
  Catskill's Sheriff Kate McGuinness has exiled love from her life forever, but 'forever' ends late one summer when Dr. Carling Reed arrives to do forensics pathology work on two unsolved crimes, and defiantly walks through Kate's heart's door, a heart with walls, memories and secrets. Together, they're an unlikely team, but their meeting was fate. Fate when an older woman's feelings for a younger one are the results achieved by the process of discovering one's sole desire.
  Kate goes through some light inner conflicts involving her personal self-discovery issues, including age difference, a previous love, and Carling's job challenges. The happy ending story has a few doses of humor, some of the younger woman's dreamscapes and a couple of mysteries. It is a story where the two women's union becomes ecstasy! Or does it?

• What Perdicus Knew by Portia on Merwolf's Academy of Bards [classic/alt/complete]
  It is a love story about Xena and Gabrielle, but also a story about Perdicus' unrequited love of Gabrielle and how he feels about the whole situation. It begins later that same morning Gabrielle leaves Poteidaia in search of Xena.

  Had the scope done and there was no ulcer but there is a massive hernia. They took a biopsey to test for the h-pylori. In 10 days when it comes back we will discuss what I need to do. In the meanwhile they gave me some meds to try and keep me as pain free as possable. Fun, fun fun...
