i, myself, am strange and unusual

Part retelling, part-reimagining, this 140-page book I wrote is full of poems, hymns, and pleas to The Greek Muses (9 poems per Muse, for a total of 81 pieces). In addition to the cover artwork by Michelle Rose of ShellsNRoses, the interior features striking depictions of each Muse in full color by Solomon Shiv Landerman of Ghost in the Gaslight, as well as their water nymph caretaker Eupheme. Below are two of the depictions that are included. To the left is Erato, The Muse of Erotic/Love Poetry, and the right is Polyhymnia, The Muse of Sacred Hymns/Poetry. They are my two most beloved Muses who have inspired me as a primarily love and mystic poet since I wrote my first poem back in middle school).

You can pre-order the e-book version here. All versions (e-book, paperback, & hardcover) will be released on July 24th (my birthday!). I'll make sure to post about it on release day!

As a Greek-American indie author and Muses devotee, I would be so grateful to anyone who at the very least shares this post or tells their friends about it. ❤️

knotting.

There's this huge creature on top of me, it's fucking me doggy-style, of course. It's cock has ridges and it only got bigger after it shoved inside me. I'm downright stuffed with it, moaning and mewling because I can't do anything else like this.

I tried to get away when I noticed that I was being followed on my way home, but it was no use. Maybe it was dumb of me to walk instead of taking the bus, but it was such a nice night for a walk.

The thing got me when I crossed a dark park. Nobody is around here at night. I ran, stumbled and fell. I caught myself on my arms. It wasn't a good idea, I see that now. The creature was on top of me immediately, skirt shoved up my hips, panties ripped.

I gasped when I felt the cock against my entrance. It was slippery, so it didn't meet any resistance when it entered me. Two strong arms hold me in place. It slipped in and out of me slowly, at first. But now it's downright drilling into me. I feel an orgasm take over me and I moan and gasp when it doesn't stop to fuck me. I cum and cum and cum, it feels like I can't stop now that I've begun.

After a particularly hard thrust, it stills inside me. Something big nudges my entrance now and I try to scramble forward, away from this new intrusion, but to no avail. I know what this is. The knot forces it's way inside me and then the cock floods me with cum. It's hot and thick and I almost feel like it will overflow, but the knot is big and tight inside my pulsing pussy.

My pussy's all plugged up like this, I can't escape. The creature is strong, holding me in place and with the knot inside me, I couldn't get away either way.

One strong, monstrous arm goes around my chest and then it stands up, taking me with it, back pressed against it's front, cock and knot still inside. My legs dangle uselessly. It starts to walk. Were are we going? I thought it would leave me alone once the knot softens!

The cock inside me fucks me with the movement this creature makes while carrying me. I'm moaning helplessly, impaled on this rod. It's impossible, but the cock tenses up again, more cum floods my pussy and I whine, I'm being stretched with the amount of it and the knot plugs me up tight.

I don't know where it's taking me, but I can feel that the knot isn't going to soften anytime soon.

I must've dozed off or been unconscious, because when I can think clearly again, I'm not being carried anymore. The knot is still inside, though.

The beast is lying behind me, one big arm like a cage around me. As if I could flee with it's knot and cock still inside my cunt.

I notice that my clothes are completely gone. It must've ripped them off. I shudder, my nipples are hard in the cold night air. I don't know where we are, but it's obvious that the beast has taken me deep into some kind of forest.

It's breathing causes the cock inside my cunt to move, the knot sliding in and out a little. I feel him so deep that I have to surpress a moan.

After what feel like hours of being plugged up like this, the knot softens and slips out. A huge load of cum is dripping out of my used hole now. I dare not to move. I know how fast this creature is, I wouldn't get far if I tried.

I keep still, cum running onto the ground now.

I'm embarrassed, but I want to touch my breasts, my nipples. Why? My cunt clenches around nothing. I feel the beast's cock harden against my backside.

It's rubbing the cock through my crack now, lubing me up with my own wetness and the cum until it slides through it easily.

I know what's next. The cock pushes at my asshole. I know there's no way it's going to stop, so I try to relax.

I moan loudly when the tip of the beast's huge cock slides into my asshole. It stays there, as if it know's that I'll need a moment. It's only when I think I can't bare it anymore that it pushes in slowly, but in one motion until it's seated deep inside my asshole.

It stills again. I mewl and start playing with my own tits, tugging the nipples. I'm.. what-?

The cock in my ass is distracting - and suddenly the creature starts moving. Short, hard strokes. It's balls are slapping my pussy rhythmically and I pull at my nipples, fucking back until I come hard. I've never come from an ass fucking before and it's so intense I feel like blacking out again.

The creature however, doesn't stop. It keeps fucking me through my orgasm with hard strokes, my ass stretched around it's massive cock until I feel the knot again, pushing against my asshole.

I moan in fear. The knot will never fit in my ass and I try to squirm away, but it's no use. I should've known.

"Uh", is the only sound I can make when the knot slips into my ass with a final stroke, cum shooting into me. My pussy clenches around nothing, my ass clenches around the huge cock. I can feel it deep inside my asshole, the amount of cum fills me up oh, so good.

I'm panting by the time the beast is completely still again, lying behind me, knot and cock in my ass, filled to the brink with cum.

It was hours until the knot loosened the last time and I know I will be here for a while.

The beast's breathing is jostling the knot and cock in my ass again and I reach down to play with my pussy.

I don't want this, but the knot inside of me is making me so horny. I want to milk this cock. I want it inside my cunt again, filling me up, knotting me to keep the cum inside - what? This isn't me!
