I have posted the story 'Gravel City' here. It's listed with my contest stories. It's more humor than heat, but it was a fun story to write.

I've decided to take a break from the MC Forum contests for a month or two. I'm presently working on a new city that's a little different from Chrystal Heights or even Darkview. This is a city of men and power where people can and are collared and owned. Think Gor. It's coming along slowly, but it's coming.

I'm working on it even as we speak. I've got some time before Hurricane/TS Eta hits us again. Or skirts us again, actually, since I'm in South Florida and it's hitting the NW part of the state. Getting kinda tired of that silly storm having no clue where it wants to go next. 

​I don’t know how many of you frequent the MC Garden and/or the MC Forum, but I’m sorry to report that we lost a giant today.
 
Merry Brooks / robotunit8 / Harlean / Steph passed away this weekend.
 
Steph was an absolute stalwart of the MC community. She was a rock, a mother figure, a sane voice no matter how crazy things got. Nearly every single writer who’s ever posted a story to the EMCSA owes her a huge debt for her countless reviews, myself included. Her write-ups were fun, they were funny, and they were as dependable as the day is long. Even when she could justify taking an update off, she just wouldn’t.
 
She was a talented writer herself, with nearly a hundred stories on the EMCSA. Fun stuff, too. Her stories just made you smile, because they were just flat-out entertaining. Nobody ever got hurt and you just knew she had a good time creating the tale.
 
Steph is one of the finest people I’ve met since I joined this community. I considered her a friend and I like to think she thought of me in the same way. When I say I will miss her, I’m not speaking in platitudes. I will truly miss her presence on the forums, her humor, her easygoing nature, her emails, her blog. This loss runs deep.
 
The MC Garden and MC Forum lost a giant today.

Note- Steph maintained a very entertaining blog for the last 10 years. For anyone interested in taking a look at it, it can found here:
