Two Candles: A Sapphic Fairytale (Sapphic Fairytales) Read online

It was a bright, moonlit night, and Rose knew the woods, and so she approached the edge of the forest, she felt no greater fear than anyone might feel, riding into dark, bandit-haunted woods at night. Yet she should be pardoned for crying out in surprise when a magpie flew out of the shadows and landed upon her mount’s head. “Oh! What are you doing out so late, friend?”

  The bird gazed at her for a moment, and then said, “Rose of name and rose of hue, come and pay your father’s due.”

  “How do you know my name!” asked Rose, but the bird merely repeated, “Rose of name and rose of hue, come and pay your father’s due,” and then flitted off down one of the forest tracks.

  Not knowing what else to do, Rose followed where it flew.

  About K.D. West

  The author of the up-coming novel A Joy Forever: An Erotic Education, K.D. West is a teacher, writer and performer living in a small suburb of a big city:

  Not a huge amount to say — I'm an author of steamy stories who happens to be a teacher; these things don't mix well in public, so I tend to be fairly quiet about real life in my blogging. I am, however, interested in all sorts of things -- books, writing, theater, mythology, and, obviously, erotica! I'm a huge reader of genre fiction -- mostly mysteries and fantasy, but also science fiction and historical romance."

  West has written two intertwined series involving a young woman and her older lover (the Juliet Takes Flight and Erotic Tales: Letters to Allison stories) and a series of stories about friends discovering that they can become much more (Friendly Ménage Tales). Also on the way: an erotic paranormal/urban fantasy novel involving a long lost friend coming all-but-literally back from the dead, and showing a happily married couple just what they'd been missing.

  Erotica to feed the mind, the spirit…

  and, oh, yes, the body.

  Fine erotica for the discerning individual,

  available as ebooks, print books, and audiobooks!
