The Temptation
of Eve by Phantom Bard (revised)
It is twelve years after "Path of Vengeance", when Eve left to teach
Eli's message in Indus and Chin. For all of those years she has remained
true to the Way of Love, and Livia's violence is far in her past. Yet
now, at the One God's command, she must go to the Temple of Jerusalem to be
the protector of a young prophet, as her mother once protected her.
Implicit in this mission is the temptation to return to the Darkness, for
violence seems inescapable. Now Eve is torn between Eli's Way and the
One God's mission, and her soul hangs in the balance. Will she become
Livia again, or worse? (Revised Version 5/26/2003, Original Version
8/1/2001)

Welcome to the Academy, Belle Sherry!
Miriam and Esther
by Belle Sherry [alt/original/complete]
The title characters in MIRIAM AND ESTHER find each other
in the most unlikely of places, a small Texas town called Cool Lake, and together
they become the heart and soul of this likable romance. Miriam escapes the
big city on a quest to regain her sanity after Dr. Grace, the "conductor of
evil," emotionally destroys her. She makes a new life for herself in Cool
Lake only to discover that just below the surface, the town hides a wicked
secret of its own. Unlike Miriam, the challenge of self-employment and the
hope of success brings Esther to Cool Lake, where she toils to expand on what
she believes to be a good thing, twinkle lights and all. In the chapter titled
"Yes ma'am. I sho does hope thay's fish fries in Heaven," romantic possibilities
build for Miriam and Esther after an entertaining evening at the Starfish
Inn and a little nudge from Maddy, an adorable match-maker who simply loves
love.
MIRIAM AND ESTHER is loaded with well-rounded adventure, taking the reader from the Ft. Worth Stockyards to Dallas' Lesbian Mecca, Cedar Springs, to the laid back atmosphere of Cool Lake, Texas. Moving easily from sinister deeds to country charm, this lively romance has something for everyone. Everyday life is portrayed by such colorful characters as Laverne, who's more country-fied than usual, having been born, bred, and corn fed in Cool Lake. And also by Sammye, Miriam's ex-girlfriend turned Good Samaritan, who comically challenges the lesbian cliché that fosters the claim: ex-lovers cannot be friends under any circumstances. Cool Lake is a charming place to be, an animated town where Miriam drives her Falcon down brick-lined streets to the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and the Some Like It Hot coffee shop as described in the chapter titled "Chunky Chocolate Cappuccino." And where Franklin J. Curtis III finds himself in grave danger at the Smithey Bros. Funeral Parlour, in "Beyond This Pointe, Thar Be Dragons."

In this third of a series of Mel/Jan stories (after The
Tomb and The Tears
of a Goddess), Mel and Jan travel to England, where they join their
old friend Mack in a frantic search for Sallie, who has disappeared while
excavating the subterranean chambers of an ancient castle. They soon find
themselves embroiled in a titanic struggle between good and evil as they strive
to solve the mystery of Sallie's disappearance and lay bare the hidden secrets
of the ancient fortress---secrets which are astounding even to Janice and
Mel, and which further confirm the truth of the Xena Legends to a skeptical
world.
