The Goth

"So looking for a job then?" I looked up to see a Goth. "Well..." She looked me up and down, "Graduate are you? And let me guess they told you no one is hiring before Christmas but with a bit of luck they should be able to find you something in January at $25 an hour?" "You were there?" "No, but want a job at $35 an hour? Starting today." I hesitated, she laughed "Straight up, no not pole dancing, office work, I may not look like it but I'm an office manager and it's cheaper for me to hire you directly at $35 an hour than pay that lot $40 an hour for you and you only get $25." Well when was the last time you looked a gift horse in the mouth?

Most of these stories are marked adult and have been described as different and often involve boy toys and a little social commentary. They aren't to everyone's taste but some people enjoy them. They are in British English even if set in North America. If you enjoy one, try another, if they aren't to your taste just move on to a different author.
Some are set in Regency England and explore a time when there were many changes over a short period of time. These are very not so mainstream and not quite so light hearted as some of the others.
