Looking forward to settling down with Xena, Gabrielle's happiness is shelved when an old friend from the Warrior Princess past insist on their help to stop an evil daemon. Torn doing right by her soul mate, or sacrificing everything for the Greater Good, Xena is faced with tremendous obstacles. Not only has a wedge formed between her and Gabrielle, but unseen occurrences portend to tear the lovers asunder, as an even powerful enemy patiently awaits to play their hand. Not just threatening Xena's and Gabrielle's world, but another world that's equally important. The Realm of the Conqueror.

The Conqueror of the Realm, ruler of the Grecian Empire, has brought peace and prosperity to its lands after nine years of internal war. Now with new ideals happening in Rome, the Conqueror may have to put her thriving country in the woes of battle again. Ri, the Conqueror's hand-maiden, although she can't recall her childhood past, dreams of being a bard and renown around the known world. Almost getting the opportunity, she is at a pause, due to the fact that she feels she will be leaving something behind at the Corinthian castle. However, with a possible skirmish occuring, the Conqueror gives a farewell gift to Ri, whom she secretly loves, causing events to transpire, and forcing the Conqueror to come unknowingly in contact with a being from another world, who resembles her hand-maiden, Ri.

Malodorous by Del Robertson
Something in Fairhaven stinks. Other than the mutton stew, that is.
Gwen thought life after being a virgin sacrifice would be a bed of roses.
Bodhi was just looking for a wench to bed.
Neither less-than-dashing hero nor not-quite-so-pure maiden imagined they would meet again, much less be trapped together in a city the likes of the ill-named Fairhaven. There's a killer on the loose. Fairhaven's on lockdown, its citizens fearful for their lives. The local guards are corrupt. And, Bodhi's been accused of murder…
Sequel to My Fair Maiden http://www.amazon.com/Malodorous-Adventures-Bhodi-Gwen-Book-ebook/dp/B00N74084O/ref=sr_1_3?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1410069692&sr=1-3&keywords=del+robertson

Victoria Branningham had a guilty pleasure. Every day she would take a detour, sit on the boardwalk, and wait for the runner to show up. That's where the guilt came in, knowing she should be elsewhere.
Beverly McMannis was lonely. She was happy to become friends with her neighbor who lived across the street from her. It felt like they might be the only two lesbians on the island.
Victoria was honest with Bev the first night they met, explaining that she wasn't free. Bev promised that she could handle that and welcomed Victoria's friendship.
Love isn't always easy...sometimes it's complicated. Especially when it involves an odd situation where only one of the people in the relationship is aware of the promise to remain loyal to their commitment.

Announcement from Fingersmith
I am very pleased to announce the publication of my latest story Still Life, a story that first found her home on the fantastic Academy of Bards a few years ago.
I would like to say a huge thank you to all the people who work so hard at keeping the academy up to date and full to the brim of wonderful stories. Without this site I doubt I would ever have put fingers to keyboard and written a word, as I am sure many other writers feel the same. The people at the academy have given us writers a voice, one that would have been silenced if not for their hard work.
It isn’t just the writers who come to this site that are thankful for the academy; it is us all as readers too. I cannot begin to list the amount of fabulous stories I have read on here, not to mention how I’ve been introduced to some very special authors.
So, after praising the well-deserved, I want to remind you again about my new story – Still Life – out at amazon and smashwords. Hope you like her now she’s been all ‘poshed up’ by the folks at Ylva Publishing.
Keep an eye here, or on my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/LT-Smith/535475523205666), or blog (http://ltsmithfiction.wordpress.com/author/ltsmithfiction/) to see about signed copies of Still Life I will be giving away in the future. I would do it now, but I haven’t received them yet. Grin.
Thank you to you all.
