VR Palace
by J.M. Snyder

BLURB:
In a future where pleasure is bought in virtual reality parlors, one man creates the perfect lover. Spun from binary code, everything he could want in a boy except real … or is he?

Be forewarned: this story is different from what you’re used to reading. It’s in the second person POV, the present tense, and contains two nameless characters.

Welcome to a world where pleasure is bought and sold in virtual reality parlors. Where customers can fashion a computerized fantasy playmate who is always willing and caters to their every sexual desire. Where reality blurs between worlds, and the only thing you can believe in is love …

This story appears in my print collection Other Worlds Than These.

To Love a God

by J.M. Snyder

Read an excerpt or buy your copy today!

BLURB:

Lame, with harsh features, brooding eyes, a wiry beard crackling with flame, and ropy muscles, the god mortals call Hephaestus is nobody’s idea of perfection. Indeed, far from it. A lingering odor of burnt solder clings to him, adding to his manly stench of sweat and musk. His bed is narrow and lonely, his sheets filled with soot and regret.

Blacksmith to Olympus, he hides from his kin on an island in the Mediterranean, commissioned to forge a hero’s sword from unbreakable metal. But a brief tryst with a minor water god distracts him. Aean is everything Hephaestus is not ~ young, beautiful, sexy. He stirs in Hephaestus a savage lust the smith has never felt before.

Now Hephaestus wants Aean for his own, and he won’t rest until the water god is his.

BLURB:

In the first story, Greek god Hephaestus finds his world ~ and his mind and body ~ set aflame by a minor water god named Aean.

In this follow-up story, Aean interrupts his celestial lover in the one place where Hephaestus is most powerful: his forge. Though busy with work, Hephaestus doesn’t mind the interruption, and when Aean suggests a reversal of their usual roles ~ this time with him on the receiving end of Hephaestus’s attentions ~ the smith hurries to comply.
