THE SHOP OF PECULIAR FLOWERS
PRICE: $4.00

Twenty short stories in all, though many are sequels, these are all fan commission jobs I did for the following:

MAG--MAG likes tentacle stories but of an unusual sort, and he was the one who commissioned the series that I turned into the "Slugs!" book. Ten of these stories are his, three three-part stories (the original and two sequels) and one is the standalone flagship story in this book.

SBG--SBG likes stories about strong muscled men and nine of the stories are his, one three-part story (the original and two sequels) and six single-story offerings are his.

XPR--The single story beyond these two fans was one I wrote for my proofreader XPR who likes his stories bizarre to say the least and this one is no disappointment, a Space Marine and a giant cockroach-like alien. Don't say I didn't warn you!



The stories in this book are:
The Shop of Peculiar Flowers--A petty criminal sees that a flower shop is doing a bang-up business selling an odd flower and figures that the cash register and safe of this business is worth hitting that night, as there are no alarms on the door. Turns out the shop doesn't need an alarm, for it is amply protected by its own inventory. Fan commission by MAG.

Economy Living--Two erstwhile gym owners are having problems making ends meet and decide the best answer is to move into the small room behind their gym until they can build their business. The only way to make it work is to share a rather small bed and well, the usual happens. Fan commission by SBG.

The Westland of the Bar A Ranch--Two hunky cowhands of a ranch are sent to watch over the cattle on land purchased by the owner and living alone out there for days on end, well, you saw the movie Brokeback Mountain, and cowboys in the Old West frequently behaved as these two studs. Fan commission by SBG.

The Grumblins I, II and III--"The Grumblins" is an old B-rated monster movie, and the legend is that if a certain scene is shown at exactly midnight, the Grumblins come alive. Three stories follow what happens to people who discover this movie's legend is more fact than fiction. Fan commission by MAG.

Hairy Larry Gets Audited--Harold Lawrence is a rich man handling his own private corporation well, but then he gets audited and the auditor working on his personal finances draws his ire with an unexpected result. Fan commission for SBG.

Fish Tales I, II and III--Three stories about a remote mountain lake with a lone cabin on it and the visitors who come there to relax and enjoy the lake, little knowing the fish in this lake intend to enjoy the visitors at the same time. Fan commission for MAG.

An Exercise in Diplomacy--When you deal with alien worlds, you have to expect customs of a sort you never even dreamed of, such as the experience of Space Marine Delaney on the planet Hymitra, as he is tapped by the diplomatic envoy to be the human representative at a Hymitran ceremony where he is expected to have sex with the Hymitran Crown Prince! Trouble is, the Crown Prince resembles strongly a giant cockroach! Commission by proofreader XPR.

The Game Against Colville, Teammates Makes the Best Friends, and Team Loyalty--A three-part story (a story plus two sequels, that is) is about the rugby team player who is asked out for drinks by a player on the opposing team only to fall prey to the man's wiles. His own coach and team steps in afterward to show him he can get plenty of loving with his own teammates and doesn't need to stray afield to find lovers! Fan Commission by SBG.

Slugs Redux I, II and III--This is a story about seven British men who lived through the Slug invasion (see the book) and the days after because life in Britain after the Slugs was never going to be the same again. Fan commission by MAG.

Walk into a Bar--A priest and a rabbi walk into a bar... That's how a lot of jokes can start but there's more sex than comedy going on in this one. Fan commission for SBG.

Caber Tossers--Caber Tossing is the Scottish sport of throwing rather large logs up into the air and over to land some distance away. This story is about two such Caber tossers from rival Clans who take their friendly rivalry to a new and more personal level. Fan Commission for SBG.

A Winter's Night Truce--In late December 1914 in Western Europe, an Allied soldier in a personal trench gets an unexpected visitor and this is only the prelude to an actual event that happened that Christmas Day on the Western Front in 1914. Fan Commission for SBG.
