A Certain Class
Light flickered over the windshield as I drove along the tree-covered drive. It was the sort of thing that always made my eyes hurt, but it was nice, too. I kept driving -- I had just cut out of work for lunch and a break was sorely needed. My ears...
A Family Affair
Lara watched Mason rolling in a dead squirrel and knew her day had just gotten a lot more complicated. The wolf bitch flicked her ears, watching the four-legged husky rolling with utter abandon in the carcass which had to be several days old. She...
Ch1: Landing Hard
Respectability sucks, Rhia reflected as she flipped through cargo postings. She was currently enjoying the glamorous trappings of that life, such as being tucked into the booth of a cheap bar a good half hour's walk from the port where her ship was...
Tokyo Tension - Radio Edit
"Ohayo gozaimasu!" The two raccoons behind the front desk bowed in unison. Rick ducked his head as he stepped up to the desk and set his bag down. It was chest-height for the clerks, but as a six-foot-tall wolf, he felt like he was looming. "Uh, thank...

This Rock
"Look, John, ain't neither of us gettin' off this rock anytime soon, so why don't you just cool your heels and let me work?" Helena Dunham, coywolf bitch and damned fine engineer, she was not the least shy to admit, glared at John until she was sure...
Going Home
Her sister's new car rolled smoothly down George Street. Jen patted the dash fondly; it was a '52 Ford Victoria, and her sister had made special arrangements to loan her the car for a few days while she was in town. It might have been last year's...
