MOTHER-IN-LAW,SON-IN-LAW

Excerpt:

Chapter 1

My wife doesn't understand me. But my mother-in-law does.

My wife doesn't want to fuck me. But my mother-in-law does.

My wife is always off having 'down time' with her secret life.

My mother-in-law's got a secret life too.

With me.

Synopsis:

Mother-in-Law, Son-in-Law is the sexually explicit tale of lonely people trying to find happiness by daring to follow their hearts. Some people shout about finding the wild place, whilst others are quietly swimming in it...

Kate married far too young. Now her gorgeous web-designer husband Alex, once the love of her life, bores her to tears. He's so busy gardening and watching repeats of Top Gear on the tele, he would never guess about Kate's secret life with her lover Colin.

But gardening and Top Gear can keep a man happy for only so long. Especially with a mother-in-law as voluptuous and gorgeous as Julia, a lonely widow who hasn't had sex for five years...

MOTHER-IN-LAW,SON-IN-LAW, by Julia, is due for publication in mid-November 2008.

MY ADVENTURES IN CYBERSPACE

Excerpt:

Chapter 1 - Fuck 'Em

Love is the only path to take, amongst the many confusing and tangled branches of paths which present themselves to us every day of our lives. But sometimes we choose to go down the wrong path, and sometimes, that's what makes life all the more entertaining; our failures, our insecurities, listening to the subversive whispers in our ears of Edgar Allen Poe's Imp of the Perverse.

The bar is crowded, packed with hysterical people frothing at the mouth and baying for my blood.

I cannot see a face, I cannot hear a sound.

For this is cyberspace.

I have arrived, and instinctively I know that whilst following my natural inclination to dole out love, these fuckers are going to get punished. This is the gold rush, they have inadvertently drawn me into the fray, and I'm going to get those gold nuggets and leave them incredulous and furious.

Fuck 'em.

Synopsis:

MY ADVENTURES IN CYBERSPACE is set in Sheffield and on an internet discussion forum, back in the pioneering days of forums at the turn of the millenium. Inspired by the author's life, it is a humorous, erotic dark tale of an unhappily married mother of three, Dominique DuBois, who falls in love with a man on a forum, without knowing what he looks like, merely by dint of his writing. Think Brief Encounter in cyberspace.

MY ADVENTURES IN CYBERSPACE,by Jude Calvert-Toulmin, is due for publication in Spring 2009.
