It is almost Pantomime Season here in the UK so I thought that this tale might be appropriate. For those who don’t know, Panto is a wonderful chance to play roles of the opposite sex. For example, the principal boy is played by a woman etc. I wrote this tale sitting on a beach near the Island of Nose Ve (means 'Call that an Island?'), Madagascar in November 2006 while photographing White Tailed Tropic Birds.

Drustina Briefly kidnaps the Bishop Brendon and his two theological supporters but she avoids using actual force or sword to cenvey her message that Queen Marag should be reinstated to her throne.

Sex Change For Success

NEW YORK - Forget Adkins, Pilates, or even American Idol. The new road to success for today's young man is to become a woman!

Michael has made it home, and safe. No doubt about it.

The Faithful, North African and Middle Eastern Islamic nations, are plotting to seize the oil resources of the Middle East.

On her way to contact the Celtic peoples of Corgheig in Munster, Drustina encounters a graphic example of monotheist misogyny disenfranchising women. Marag's castle is on the little island at the south western end of Lough Mahon.

So here we are again...once again I find myself writing 10k words of a story in a few days like a mad (or madder) person. This is chapter 2, standard disclaimers apply, and more science realism than you can shake a stick at incoming.

Also, space Opras....complete with fat ladies.

inside, there were two crisp hundred dollar bills in each. "It's your
