I have been so busy for the last six months that I haven't had a chance to write a new story for my fans and friends. The work Joy and I did for the election of Barack Obama, and the efforts to stop Proposition 8 in California have literally taken up all of our time. The work required to turn back Proposition 8 is still a full time effort. As some of you know, Joy and I were married in a private ceremony during July of this year and to see our marriage destroyed by election year political fiat is hard to bear. For every gay and lesbian couple living in California, know that you are not alone in the struggle to overcome bigotry and repeal of basic human rights. Joy and I wish all of you and yours a very happy holiday season...Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukah/Joyous Kwanzaa and so on. I will be back after the first of the year, I am working on The Rift Adventure, there will be reworking of the second part of the Jera story which was badly hurried and not well done, and I will try my hand at a theme my late husband used to go wild over, and that is the popular male fantasy about the young woman, generally a teenager, that is so-called lesbian bait. If reality can intrude here, so-called lesbian bait situations are NOT what men think they are, and outside of lesbian clubs are usually confined to the masturbation fantasies of young men. Erotic Mind Control will probably get an offering in 2009, as will Nifty Archive. However, how soon I can get these stories to you will depend a great deal on both Prop. 8 work and family needs. So, once again, you and yours have a joyous and happy holiday season even if the economy is putting you in a bad situation, or things are terrible. Try and be happy, it will get better. Warmest regards, Joy and Donna Z.
