This is an experimental cover prepared with Leonardo.ai. I wanted to have a new chapter or slice of the story but writing has just not been happening lately.
So I decided to post this. Comments?

"Sooooo...."
"Yep."
"...Huh."
I stared at the half-opened package and thought.
What I'd ordered had been a vintage 1977 Kosmic Kevin tee shirt, size medium. One of the promotional ones they'd given out at a few events when the first movie came out. It was supposed to be dark heather gray, with midnight...

Four of Melanie Brown's Switcher tales in one volume. Probably soon Kindle tomorrow or Saturday.
These are body swap tales by Melanie Brown and they are quite good. :)

I woke up the next morning warm, comfortable and feeling oddly heavier than normal. I laid there for at least ten minutes, half-asleep and trying to figure out why I seemed to be held in place before my brain began to sort things out.
I was in a king-size bed in a hotel room in Austin, Texas.
I was tuck...

By the time I got through changing clothes six or seven times, I was thoroughly sick of the whole thing. Everyone tried to be supportive and encouraging, and Linda was positively enthusiastic, but I ended the “fashum” show by coming out of my room wearing a pair of my old jeans and one of Dad’s polo shirts that had ende...

Chapter 24 – An Evening With Friends
It took another three and a half flights of stairs for me to get down to the lobby and another flight back up once I learned the restaurant was on the building’s second floor. I was mulling over the desk attendant’s somewhat confusing directions when I pushed open the second-fl...

The water in the pool was as warm as August, with only a breath of humid air moving above it. Did they keep it warm all through the winter? It doesn’t get that cold in Friendly, but we have snow almost every January. It probably costs a fortune just to heat the big old house, let alone an indoor pool.
No business of m...

Chapter 23 -- Waking Up
I was dreaming.
I knew I was dreaming because I normally didn’t have afternoon tea with banana-yellow velociraptors in the waking world.
“That is a conundrum, dearie,” Mrs. Raptor said, sipping her tea primly.
“Yeah,” I agreed, ...

This non-TG book is why we came up with the AlephTwo imprint for science fantasy. :) Expect to see this on Kindle before the end of July and a second and third book in the coming months. Kevin is well ahead in the writing.

Megan had to show me how, of course, but putting the thing up inside me was less trauma than I expected. The little plastic tube went in, you pressed the plunger and pulled the tube out, leaving the little bundle as a cork. And it had a convenient string attached when it came time to remove it.
“You’re giggling, are...

I did a wonderful cover (I think :)) for Masks 19 before being reminded that Template is not in this one. But Larry the shapeshifter is, so who's to say that that's Template? Hmm?
She does look a bit upset. :)
I changed the title for brevity, even though the original title had a kind of sly nod toward Star Wars. "...

Chapter 22 – Fit For A King
“Here you are, miss, enjoy!” The chipper booth girl said.
I thanked her and took the small bag from her hands, dropping it in the cavernous mouth of the complimentary oversized tote the con had given me when I’d registered. It wasn’t overly full yet, but I cou...

I used the big towel carefully, patting myself dry more than any kind of rubbing motion. Somehow, my skin was tender and and sensitive, not just my new appendages but all over, like even the back of my neck.
I twisted the towel into a sort of dress and wiped some moisture from the big mirror on the back of the door. I s...

Chapter 21: Weapon of Choice
The last thing I wanted after that fiasco was to get stuck in my own head again, but it wasn’t long before the underwhelming scenery and post-apple pie torpor had my mind circling the drain.
What WAS going on with my relationship with Brian anyway? Were we sti...

Chapter 20 – From Here to There

“There must be fifteen different kinds of chocolate ice cream here,” I remarked to Megan as we deposited our pints on the iced serving table in the big family room of Joanna’s parents’ house. Mansion really.

“You okay?”
I sighed. “Yes. For like the fifth time, I’m fine.”

Feeling sorry for myself didn’t seem profitable, so I gave it up after a few minutes and managed to sit up on the bed by first rolling off the side, catching myself, then standing up so I could sit down. I guess I’m a special case, but who would expect breasts to be so heavy?
I caught another whiff of ripeness in my...
