AVIA - Crime Fiction with a Strong Female Lead

A drug-running drug-addled pilot and her family try to avoid the law while running their organized crime business. This is a romantic suspense series that I started when I was 10 years old. Of course, it's gone through many changes over the years. One of the biggest was actually adding technology. When I started writing this series, cell phones and computers did not exist in the home or for the general person.

A Letter from Mr. Fuzz, CEO of Approvals, Snacks, and Mischief

Dear Humans,

It has come to my attention that many of you are still uncertain about which books to read, which merch to buy, and which lap positions are most optimal for napping. Allow me to clarify.

I, Mr. Fuzz, personally review and approve only the highest-quality works of fiction, snacks, and soft surfaces. This approval process is rigorous: it involves pawing at your keyboard, knocking pens onto the floor, and sitting directly on top of your notes until the decision is clear.

If you see my stamp—Mr. Fuzz Approves™—you may rest assured that it has passed the strictest feline standards. If you do not see my stamp, proceed at your own risk. (Or bring me tuna, and we’ll reconsider.)

Remember: while humans may believe they are in charge of this enterprise, let the record show that the books, the branding, and the entire internet now operate under my supervision.

Warm naps and sharp claws,
Mr. Fuzz
CEO, Professional Approver, Master of Boxes

A Sacred Lie

Book Title Cover

A Sacred Lie

Sarah is told throughout her entire childhood that she must wait until she's married in order to have sex. Her parents, teachers and everyone she knows tells her that getting pregnant is terrible for a young single woman, and the only way to stop it is to wait until she's married.

Otherwise, she’ll be condemned to a life of Hell on Earth, be shunned by God, and all her children will grow up to be criminals. Eager to ensure that she upholds God’s plan for her life, she is dutifully compliant. She knows she must only share herself with her future husband or as a way to get closer to God, but all is not as it seems as she grows from a child into a ripe young woman in the Catholic church, which is filled with older, wiser and more experienced priests. Will they help keep her on the path of righteousness or corrupt her for their own twisted pleasures?

  1. Chapter 1 – Sister Mary Anastasia

 

 

Sarah walked into classroom 2. It was just before lunch on her second day of 6th grade, and so far, she’d found it challenging. She was no longer stuck in the same classroom all day, only to leave for the weird classes, like gym, music and art, which only happened once a week or once every two weeks. Her favorite class was art. Yesterday, they got to paint with melted wax. Her class was one of the lucky ones. They got art the first day of school.

However, this class, she was certain, would not be her favorite, and she’d been worried about it all summer. It was the dirty class, and it was supposed to start yesterday but hadn’t. Instead, they’d had study hall. Sarah wasn’t sure why, but she was relieved that it got pushed back a day. She hoped they’d push it back all year.

It was Sister Mary Anastasia’s class on human sexuality and reproduction. Sarah was worried it’d be full of sin and dirty pictures. She’d heard from some of the seventh-graders that they showed private parts! The kind of parts on your body that only the doctor could touch with a gloved hand and only during an examination that required those parts to be touched!

Those parts were completely forbidden to be touched by anyone else, and even viewing them was a sin! Sarah knew. Her mom had said so. To know these things was vitally important. It was right up there with stranger danger and not stealing and honoring your parents and worshiping God and doing His work.

Sarah took a seat in the front row near the windows and adjusted her plaid black and white skirt until she was certain it entirely covered her modesty, and no one could look under it and see her underwear. She had heard that not all the boys took the 10 commandments seriously, especially as they got older.

The classroom was nice, and the windows were open. It was a hot August day, and St. Seton’s Catholic School didn't have air conditioning. Sarah wasn’t sure why, but the playground rumors said that there was no air conditioning so that all the students could sweat out their sins. Sarah found it to be a believable explanation.

After all, they were all dirty. Everyone sinned every day, and it wasn’t always possible to go to confession every day. Just yesterday, Sarah had spotted a multi-colored pencil on the floor. As you wrote with it, the lead changed colors, creating rainbow text. Sarah had always wanted a pencil like that, but her mother forbid it. The only appropriate colors to write in were black or blue, and blue was only to be used if you absolutely could not find a black pen or a pencil.

Sarah had picked the multi-colored pencil up. It was beautiful. The most exquisite pencil she’d ever seen. Sarah thought about keeping it, but then she remembered that would be stealing, so she gave it to the teacher so she could find the student who dropped it. Just thinking about keeping that pencil was a sin! Unfortunately, there would be no confession until Friday, and it was Tuesday. However, Sarah did the next best thing, she wrote it down in her sin notebook so she’d remember to tell the priest.

Sister Mary Anastasia stepped to the front of the classroom, holding a textbook on human reproduction. “Good morning class. How are you all today?”

The entire class said they were ‘Very well, thank you, Sister Mary Anastasia.’

Sister Mary Anastasia smiled. “Excellent. I have a treat for you this semester. Of course, you’ve all probably heard schoolyard rumors about this class.”

“They said it’s about private parts!” Sarah said.

“Yes, little ma’am, but please, remember to raise your hand and be acknowledged before speaking,” Sister Mary Anastasia said.

“Sorry, sister,” Sarah said.

“It is forgiven. This class is about your private parts and what makes you female and the little boys male. However, we will be discussing these things respectfully and in accordance with the catholic teachings.”

Sarah glanced around the room. Everyone looked nervous. A few were giggling.

“Now, you may find these topics funny or embarrassing,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “However, you must strive to behave beyond your age.”

The giggling stopped.

A student raised his hand.

Sister Mary Anastasia looked at the boy. “What would you like to say, Charles?”

“My dad said looking at dirty pictures is a sin,” Charles said.

“Looking at dirty pictures is a sin. It could lead to lust and unGodly thoughts,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “However, we will not be looking at scantily clad women and men for our own sinful pleasures. Instead, we will be exploring the human body and how it works. The pictures in your textbooks are perfectly acceptable to view.”

The class let out a collective sigh of relief.

Sister Mary Anastasia continued. “In the eyes of the Roman Catholic Church, human reproduction is a sacred process designed by God. It involves both the physical and spiritual aspects of our beings. Let us start by understanding the beauty of procreation and when it is acceptable to procreate.” She looked out across the classroom. “Yes, Jane?”

“My mom said procrastination is a sin,” Jane said.

“Procrastination is not doing your work in a timely manner,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “Procreation is the process by which we create more beings in God’s image.”

“Oh,” Jane said.

Sister Mary Anastasia turned to the board and wrote both words in large letters with bright white chalk. Then, she wrote the definitions of both words. “Does anyone else not understand the difference between procreation and procrastination?”

“No, Sister Mary,” the class said.

“Good. Let’s continue. Open your books to the first page of Chapter 1,” Sister Mary Anastasia said.

Sarah opened her book to Chapter 1 and looked at the page. She gasped and slammed the book shut.

“Miss Sarah, please open your book and look at page 20,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “There is nothing sinful or dirty on that page. It is merely the depiction of the male and female bodies.”

Sarah opened her book again. The pictures looked dirty to her. There was a naked man and a naked woman right on the first page.

“Now, if you’ll all look, all of the parts in the images are labeled.” Sister Mary Anastasia proceeded to name and explain each body part in the diagrams for both the male and the female forms.

“Oh, that’s what it’s called,” Joey said in an AHA moment.

“What is called what?” Sister Mary Anastasia asked.

“My…” He looked at the diagram. “Penis.”

“How is that different than what you’ve heard at home?” Sister Mary Anastasia asked.

“My dad calls it his Johnson. My mom calls it little winky,” Joe said. “My babysitter calls it the peepee.”

The class laughed.

“What other names have your parents used for your penises?” Sister Mary Anastasia asked.

The boys in the class started naming all the names they’d heard for penis. Dick. Member. Organ. Wang. Knob. Chubby. Weenie. Schlong. Joystick. Banana. Rod. Love Muscle. Baby-Maker. Ding-a-ling and manhood.

“Those are all slang names,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “The correct term is penis.”

After the class had calmed down, Sister Mary Anastasia covered all the female parts. “Have your parents ever used any other words for these parts?”

The class spouted off everything they’d ever heard the breasts and vagina called. Dirty Pillows, Cunt. Pussy. Tits. Jugs. Melons. Torpedoes. Airbags. Down There. Vag. Downstairs. Lady Bits. Pink Taco. Hoo Hoo. Snatch.

“Why would they call it a snatch?” Jane asked.

“I truly have no idea,” Sister Mary Anastasia said.

“I thought snatch meant to grab,” Joey said.

“It does,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “Which is why it makes no sense. Either way, you’re parents are very creative with their language. However, the correct terms are vagina and breasts.”

“Do our parents know we’re learning this?” Jane asked.

“They do. Consent forms were sent out prior to the start of the school year. Your parents had to sign those forms and send them back,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “If you’re in this class and not study hall, your parents signed the forms.” She waited for the class to absorb that information before continuing. “Now, these body parts are what makes us male and female, and they are what allow us to reproduce and create children.”

“Wait,” Sarah said.

“Yes, Sarah?” Sister Mary Anastasia said.

“We were created by these bits?” Sarah asked.

“You were, and that’s what this class is about. I’m going to explain to you how those parts work together to create children,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “However, it’s important to note that what we cover is an act that is shared between a man and a woman who love each other very much and are married. It is forbidden to procreate outside of marriage.”

“Is that a bad sin?” Jane asked.

“It’s a very bad sin,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “One of the worst.”

The class gasped.

Sarah raised her hand.

“Yes, Sarah?”

“What happens if you procreate without being married?”

“It is a moral failing and a very serious matter,” Sister Mary Anastasia said. “You should only remove your clothing in front of a member of the opposite sex who is your spouse. Sex is a very holy act that should only be shared between spouses. Prior to getting married, you should live a chaste and virtuous life. Otherwise, you could become an unwed mother and live in poverty and suffer in humiliation and squalor for your entire life with your bastard child.”

The bell, signaling the end of class, rang.

“Read the entirety of chapters 1 and 2 for your homework. We will cover chapter 2 tomorrow,” Sister Mary Anastasia said.

Sarah closed her book, stood and walked out of the classroom. The next class was lunch, and today was tacos. After lunch, she would have art and music and she thought history.

Why Writers Lose Their Joy: 6 Common Reasons and How to Reclaim It

 

Writing is a passion, a calling, and—for many of us—a career. But somewhere between word sprints and deadlines, revisions and rejections, even the most dedicated authors can find themselves burned out and joyless.

If you’re an intermediate writer struggling with writer’s block, creative fatigue, or emotional disconnection from your craft, you’re not alone. Many writers hit this wall. But the first step to reclaiming your creative energy is understanding why the joy disappeared in the first place.

Let’s explore the most common reasons writers lose their writing joy—and what you can do to get it back.

1. Perfectionism and Unrealistic Expectations

One of the biggest joy-killers for intermediate writers is perfectionism. When you start out, you're excited just to be writing. But as you grow, expectations grow too—both internal and external.

You start judging every sentence, comparing yourself to bestselling authors, or feeling like your work isn't good enough. The pursuit of perfect prose can paralyze creativity and stifle experimentation.

Writing joy comes from freedom, not flawlessness. If perfectionism is blocking you, try focusing on progress over polish. Remember, you can revise a messy draft—but you can’t revise a blank page.

Populate the Moon (Naughty Reads)

Populate the Moon

Misty Arva has been sent to the moon for one purpose. She is to help populate it along with three other women. Founded as a mining colony, the United Republic of States is no longer willing to spend the money it takes to transport new workers to the moon. Instead, they’ve devised a new plan. Send women to the moon to entertain and relax the men. As a result, they should become pregnant and help populate the moon and provide new workers.

  1. Chapter 1 - Landing on the Moon 

 

Misty Arva stepped off the space shuttle. It was a four hour shuttle flight to the moon, but the trip had been almost a year in the making. She had to pass all of the space agencies’ tests before she could be assigned to her new job.

They were doing an all call for women who wanted to help populate the moon. That meant they had to be in good health and fertile. Unfortunately, the fertility test was brutal. They had to be inseminated then give birth without medication.

Misty had survived the final test three weeks ago. She had given birth to a healthy male. It was grueling and painful, but she’d done better than most and was unphased by the experience. She was also motivated by the money. It was one-hundred thousand dollars a year plus a fifty-thousand dollar bonus for every male, and a seventy-five thousand dollar bonus for every female birthed.

The problem was more of a moral and a societal one. She was allowing herself to be turned into a breeding machine for the corporation that controlled the moon mining operation, and the rumor was that the births didn’t take ten months.

At least they had finally changed that misnomer. For centuries, they tried to tell women that gestation only took nine months. Well, anyone who’d ever had a basic math class could divide forty by four and come up with the end result of ten. Ten months, not nine. The new calculations had also stopped a lot of the C-sections that were popular in the twenty-second century, which meant natural births were a lot cheaper since doctors were no longer slicing women open after they were two days late, which after the new calculations, meant that the babies were taken out three to four weeks early and six weeks in some cases, since the start math had been wrong too. They’d been going by the woman’s last period instead of the date she had had sex that was closest to the positive pregnancy test. It was horrific.

Misty shuddered. She was incredibly grateful not to be a woman in the twenty-first and twenty-second centuries. No wonder the birth rates had fallen so far! Who’d want to endure that?

Of course, the mining operation was boasting a totally different gestational time-frame. They were stating that the births could happen is as little as a week, if you took the right combination of fetal growth drugs. Then, you could be healed in as little as twenty-four hours with a new combination of drugs.

It was still controversial, and some women were protesting it. Saying that it was degrading. Women were more than birthing machines. It was a centuries old argument, but even the falling birthrates on Earth had the governments contemplating the same measures. Turning motherhood into a job for the greater good of the species. Of course, it was faster for a company to turn it into a job than for the government to authorize payments to women for each live birth.

Misty had signed up for a year. She figured if she had two babies a month, she’d walk away with as much as one point nine million dollars. After this, she never had to work again, and she’d live a life of complete luxury. She had kept that thought in her mind as she’d squeezed out that goddamned male.

Now, she was descending the ramp and walking into space-dock one at the Light Side Mining Station One.

“Misty Arva?” A man said.

“That’s me,” Misty said as she walked over to the male.

“I’m John.” He shook her hand. “I’m here to show you where you live and explain a little bit about how things work here.”

“Fantastic,” Misty said.

“I understand your one of the populating women,” John said.

“Here to naturally give you a new workforce,” Misty said.

“Great to hear. We have three others,” John said as they walked down a corridor then took an elevator down three floors. “This is the comfort woman wing. That’s what we’re telling the men it is anyway.”

“Oh jeez, so they don’t know,” Misty said.

“They do not. Please, do not tell them,” John said. “They think you’re prostitutes, and you can charge accordingly.”

“No shit,” Misty said.

“No shit,” John said as he led her to the last room in the hall. “This is your apartment.” He unlocked the door and allowed her inside first.

“Holy shit.” Misty walked in to view an apartment larger than she had on Earth.

John walked inside and closed the door. “Yours is the biggest.”

“Is there a reason for that?” Misty asked.

“Your psyche report was preferred, and your first live birth was a male,” John said.

“But males aren’t worth as much,” Misty said.

“They’re not, but we still need them. They’re compensating by giving you the best apartment for comfort women we have.” John led her through the apartment. “This is your kitchen. This is the bedroom we assume you’ll work in. This is your personal bedroom, and this is the delivery room.”

“Delivery room?” Misty walked inside to see a chair and a robot.

“No hospitals here. We have a lab and clinic, so they designed you a birthing room. The robot will take care of your medical needs.”

“What’s the tube?” Misty asked as she looked at the chair. It had stirrups and arms. A high back, and a sealed tube in the floor.

“When you’re ready, you’ll press a button in the chair. The tube will uncover and come up. It will suck the baby down to the clinic right after birth.”

“Holy fuck,” Misty said.

“The robot will crank you full of healing drugs and a sedative. It will wash you. Put you in bed. You’ll wake up the next morning fine,” John said.

“That’s a little different than they described,” Misty said.

“We’ve made advancements recently,” John said.

“How long is the gestation?”

“Anywhere from a few days to a week and a half. You’ll come in here daily for your injections. If you aren’t pregnant, it’s hormones and vitamins for fertility. If you are, then its growth hormones for the baby,” John said.

“Where do the babies go?” Misty asked.

“They go to the clinic for cleanup and examination. After that, I have no idea,” John said.

“So, I never have to care for them,” Misty said.

“Not at all,” John said. “Your only job is to have them.”

“Perfect,” Misty said. “How do I get the men?”

“They’ll come to you,” John said. He walked her over to a control panel. “What hours do you want to work?”

“Ten in the morning until eleven at night,” Misty said.

John input her schedule into the machine. “Do you want any days off?”

“I don’t know,” Misty said.

“Well, if you do, hit this button. It makes you unavailable for twenty-four hours. Also, when you sit in the birthing chair, your automatically taken off the schedule for twenty-four hours.”

“What happens if you have twins?” Misty asked.

“Same rate for each baby,” John said. “And still an automatic twenty-four hours off.”

“Excellent.” She set her bag down in her bedroom then walked into the living room.

“All the food is done by replication. It’s programmed with everything from beer and wine to french fries,” John said.

“Is there a way to specify the type of man you want?” Misty asked.

“No, but what are you looking for?” John asked.

“Tall men with huge cocks,” Misty said.

“There’s not, but I can spread the word. We have a few men who have things in their pants the other women don’t want,” John said.

“That’s fine. When do I start working?” Misty asked.

“As soon as I leave. The scanners mark you as busy whenever there are two or more in your apartment,” John said.

“Did you want a ride?” Misty asked.

“Not right this second, but I may be back later,” John said. “Relax. Get settled. I doubt you’ll have much time to yourself.”

“Thanks,” Misty said then paused as the room shook. “What the hell was that?”

“Mining. It’s directly under us,” John said.

“You’re kidding,” Misty said.

“Nope. Mining starts at level 10,” John said. “Don’t go down there.”

“Who the hell thought that would be a good idea?” Misty asked. “I thought the mining was separate from the living units.”

“It was supposed to be, but cost overruns forced them to do it this way,” John said.

“Wow,” Misty said. “And this has been in operation for twenty years?”

“It has,” John said. “They’re building another one on the dark side of the moon. It’s about done, and the living units are separate from the mining operation. They built an underground train over there to take the men back and forth.” He paused. “Anyway, get settled. I’ll be back later.”

Misty nodded. She decided to take a shower after John left. She dressed in a black nighty with no panties or bra. She grabbed a glass of wine from the replicator and waited. She wasn’t hungry. The shuttle had fed them an ample lunch and tea right before they docked. So, all she had to do was wait for the men to appear. It seemed simple enough.
