EXCERPT

 

Ganwe din Kopese, known variously as Gan or Kop or Din the Slave Master,
surfaced from a pleasant dream soon after sunrise. He’d been led into
the desert by a troupe of naked slaves to an idyllic oasis where they
frolicked in the sparkling water, the sun gleaming off their flawless skin.
Under a swaying palm, strenuous digging uncovered a huge wooden chest of great
antiquity. They’d opened it, lifting the creaking lid to expose a
veritable king’s ransom. Excitedly they scooped up the glistening gems
— diamonds, rubies, sapphires — and gaily tossed them into the air so they
fell upon his head like the gentlest of summer rain.

Ganwe din Kopese awoke not only with a contented smile, but also a mighty
erection. He surveyed the prominent tent in the silk sheet and grunted in
self-admiration. “Seesee!” he bellowed.

A moment later his wife, third and youngest bearer of that majestic title, ran
full tilt into his room, the folds of her transparent nightdress flowing about
her petite body like a desert whirlwind.

“See to that, will you,” he said casually.

Seesee eagerly lifted the sheet, exposing his firm muscular body, and dove in.
For a few moments he luxuriated in her warm, wet mouth. “Litu,” he
then shouted. “I’m starving!”

From somewhere below — the kitchen he hoped — came an unintelligible reply
from the second bearer of that esteemed title of wife. Gan imagined she was
instructing the slaves in the preparation of some delicacy or other. Litu, he
knew, kept a diligent eye on the latest culinary fashions shed like confetti
by their betters up north. In the adjoining room a baby wailed, and was soon
comforted by Didoy, the first bearer of the revered title of wife, who hummed
a soothing rhyme from her childhood.

The house of Kopese had awakened.

Gan lay back, enjoying Seesee’s skills, noting that her technique had
improved since Didoy’s lesson in the Quad: the art of pleasing a man
with lips, tongue, throat, and fingers. She had finally mastered the timing of
the twist of the shaft as she withdrew her mouth from his swollen organ before
plunging downward so that her dainty nose was bent against his hard, muscular
stomach. She held there for a count of five before slowly withdrawing. As she
drew her mouth away, she wrapped her dainty fingers around his shaft to apply
the screwing action that gave him an inordinate amount of pleasure. He sighed
with satisfaction as the dream of buried jewels faded like a summer mist.

Litu, wearing a flimsy robe shaded in jade, entered with a tray. The smell of
freshly baked bread, melting ocyx butter, strips of seasoned meat, and her
sweet perfume caressed his nostrils. Balancing the tray expertly on one hand,
she used the other to put an extra pillow under Gan’s raised head and
shoulders. Then she swept off the sheet, positioned the tray on his flat
belly. Seesee adjusted her position so she could tongue his ball sac while
Litu knelt beside him to take on the shaft and head duties while he ate.

Gan watched appreciatively as his second wife opened her small, bow-shaped
mouth as wide as she could to take in the thick head of his cock. He thought
of it as the dome of a massive mushroom, and was secretly pleased that it
posed a constant challenge to Litu, who eagerly strove to fit it all in. He
took a generous bite of his bread, sending ocyx butter dribbling from the
corner of his mouth. He almost bit his tongue when Seesee suddenly sucked one
of his balls deep into her mouth.

“Easy, Seesee. Easy.”

“My apologies, husband,” she slurred after popping the delicate
egg from between her generous lips. A shiny thread of saliva hung between her
mouth and his tight scrotum, and with a giggle she slurped it up as she
resumed her wifely duty.

Gan smiled contentedly. What a perfect household I have built, he thought.
Three perfect gems, for that was how he often thought of his wives, to cater
to my every urge
.

He finished his breakfast with a cup of warm wine flavoured with huj, an
expensive spice he imported from the Northern Reach. The slaves from that
region carried the bales of the crushed seeds on their heads as they trudged
their way to the Auction House.

That reminded him of this day’s tasks: the bidding for docile but
intelligent slaves who could be taught. The House of Kopese was known across
the world for the quality of his bedroom and household slaves. “Only the
best from Kopese,” was his watchword, and all the prestigious houses of
the city came to him. He excelled in teaching the art of pleasing men and
women of refinement, and his slaves were keenly sought after, garnering top
prices.

“Enough, Seesee, Litu. Enough, I say. I need all my stamina
today.” He laughed at his unintended rhyme.

His two wives, however, pouted. Though they knew the demands of his day and
evening, they didn’t like being denied their morning coupling.

“Don’t look at me like that. It’s not the end of the
world.”

“It is,” Seesee said. “It’s been a whole week.”

“Has it?”

“You know it has. My cunny is aching. It’s wet all the
time.” She screwed up her face. “You don’t love me as much
as Litu.”

“Now, don’t be like that. I love you all the same. Didoy, Litu,
and Seesee. All the same.”

“But you’ve had Litu three times in the last four nights.”

“I wish you wouldn’t keep count,” Litu said.
“It’s not my fault –”

“Litu. Stop it!” Gan snapped. “Just this minute I was
congratulating myself on such a harmonious household, and you go and spoil it
by bickering.”

“I’m sorry, husband.”

“Now, Seesee. Remind me when I come home that it is your turn.
Happy?” She smiled at Litu triumphantly. Shaking his head good-naturedly
he chucked his pretty wife under her chin. “Now, is my bath
ready?”

“I’d just ordered the heating of the water when you called,”
Seesee said.

“Then go. See that it is ready for me.”

She stuck out her tongue at Litu and launched herself off the bed. After
she’d skipped from the room, Gan took Litu’s hand and drew her to
him for a kiss. She licked the ocyx butter from his chin.

“How old is she? Remind me.”

“Twenty.”

“And how old are you?”

“Two and twenty.”

“Then don’t goad her. Act your age.”

She pouted again.

“Has it really been three times in four nights?”

She nodded, and a sly smile escaped her contrite expression.

“There must be a reason for that,” he said in a questioning voice.
“I wonder what the reason could be.”

“Because…”

He silenced her with a kiss. “I love you all the same. Remember
that.”

“Yes, husband.”

“Now take this tray to the kitchen, and then go help Didoy with the
children.”

“Yes, husband.”

“First, find my robe. It’s a bit chilly this morning. And my
slippers. Where are my slippers?”

An hour later, bathed, perfumed, and dressed in his finest, Gan was farewelled
by Didoy, who handed him his ebony staff as she did every day.

He kissed her, then stood back in silent admiration of her beauty, and his
luck.

“You do this every morning,” she chided.

Her face was colouring in a blush fit for a maiden, not of a wife of ten years
with three children and a household to manage. “I stop to thank the gods
for the blessing they have bestowed on me. Is that so grievous a crime?”

“Being late will be a very great one if you miss bidding on the best
prospects. The High Warden put in an order for six, no less: four cocks and
two cunts.”

“Where would I be without you, I wonder.” He kissed her again.
“Six, you say? What in the world does he do with them?”

Date Published: 05-15-2026

Publisher: RMK Publications

In his first collection of short stories Joe Cappello presents an array
of characters whom he describes as having “rocks in their heads.”
Instead of accepting the hand life has dealt them, they pursue more outlandish
solutions to its problems. The reader witnesses firsthand the zany antics
these characters employ to cope with the situations they encounter in each
story: Mortality…daring to know death’s secret and determined to
face it without fear and dread; Workplace… seeking an environment that
is based on teamwork and respect, rather than fear and intimidation;
Family…taking extraordinary steps to unite an estranged family and to
bring another closer together; Language…re-establishing the sacred role
of words in our lives as a unifier of people and a conveyor of truth. All told
with a healthy dose of humor and a belief that life can be joyful, hopeful and
a down-right hoot.
 
Excerpt

“Sorry I no make Lanford’s funeral,” Samora said breaking in on Win’s memory. She

grabbed his hand and squeezed it. “You okay?”

“I’m okay.”
“You don’t look okay.”

“Okay, I’m not okay.” He paced around the yard as the fears he suppressed since

Lanford’s funeral that morning spilled out in a rush. “I’m 35 years old, Samora. Where am I

going? I been floating around the country, taking odd jobs. I haven’t spoken to my parents in

Chicago for over 10 years. And now Lanford up and dies on me.”

Samora felt sorry for the tall, thin figure slumped pathetically in front of her. “Shush, my

son. You shouldn’t let death haunt you so.” Her brown eyes sparkled as she looked up at Win.

“You want to know the secret, yes?”

“What secret?” asked Win.

“Death,” she said. Samora led Win to the front of his casita. “Out there.” She grabbed his

chin and pushed his head up, his protruding lips making him look like a fish with a hook stuck in

its mouth. She pointed to the view of the Galisteo basin, a huge, flat plain bordered by mountains

forming the “Galisteo Wave,” a vista of higher to lower elevations that resembled an ocean wave

on its way to shore. “There’s a smiling rock man in the basin. You must find him.”

“A smiling rock man?”
“Find him and you will find the answer.”

About the Author

Joe Cappello
Joe Cappello’s creative life began when he accepted a minor
speaking role in a play, walked on stage for the first time, and came to the
terrifying realization that, “Oh, no, they sold tickets!”

Fortunately, he overcame his initial stage fright and began accepting roles in
community theatre, the parts of Oscar Madison in “The Odd Couple”
and Ivan Lomov in “The Proposal” among his favorites. He studied
acting in New York City and performed in a couple of Off-Off Broadway
productions including Sam Shepherd’s “Buried Child,” where
he played the crotchety, whiney patriarch, Dodge (a part for which his wife
felt he was uniquely suited).

He wrote and produced plays for children, awarding roles to his sons and other
kids in his neighborhood (earning the gratitude of their parents who
considered rehearsals free babysitting). He started writing adult plays and
received a number of accolades including an honorable mention in the 2020
Bridge Award contest sponsored by Arts in the Armed Forces (AIAF) for his
full-length play, “The Stars of Orion” and selection as the winner
of the 2022 Susan Hansell Drama Award for his one act play,
“Monarch.”

But the logistics of staging plays proved too time consuming. In his early
30’s he started writing short stories and flash fiction pieces and submitting
them for publication. Many of the stories presented in this collection have
been published in online magazines and anthologies, and some have achieved
recognition, most notably, “The Secret of the Smiling Rock Man,”
First Place, National Federation of Press Women’s Communications Contest
(2022); “They Only Showed Elvis from the Waist Up,” First Place,
Southwest Writers Writing Contest (2023); and “Running Errands,”
Finalist, Hemingway Shorts Competition, sponsored by the Ernest Hemingway
Foundation of Oak Park (2023).

About the Author
David Fitz-Gerald
David Fitz-Gerald writes frontier and pioneer western fiction from the
wilds of western Vermont—about as far west as you can get without
slipping into New York.

Though he’s never wrangled beeves to market, Dave was a top hand on his
grandfather’s dude ranch in the Adirondack Mountains… before he
turned ten. He’s lived most of his life on dirt roads. Whenever he gets
the chance, he travels west to recharge his spirit on the windswept prairies.

He’s an Adirondack 46’er which means that he’s hiked to the
top of every mountain in the park. In 2018, Dave completed the 1960s fitness
craze by hiking 50 miles in one day. That’s one heck of a long walk, but
not nearly as grueling as the iconic trails that he chases in his fiction.

Even after all these years, Dave still has his head in the clouds like Ken
from MY FRIEND FLICKA, and a quiet, self-reliant spirit like Sam from THE
TRUMPET OF THE SWAN. That blend of wonder, heart, and spirit runs through the
characters he portrays. His editor states he is “exceptionally good at
creating real moments between characters”—and readers seem to
agree.

Dave’s breakthrough series, Ghosts Along the Oregon Trail won
Chanticleer’s Grand Prize for Book Series. He’s now the author of
nearly twenty novels and counting, and as long as there’s coffee in the
kitchen, Dave will be plotting one adventurous story after another.

Mystery

Date Published: February 25, 2026

Publisher: Seacoast Press

good reads button

The Guilt of Others opens with the sound of a gunshot in an overcrowded
office. But who was shot—and who pulled the trigger—remains a
mystery. Told through the intertwined perspectives of multiple characters,
each harboring secrets and scars from past and present, the story slowly
unravels the emotional and psychological web of trauma, secrets, and buried
motives binding them together. With nine suspects, three possible weapons, and
a detective whose instincts are starting to betray her, the search for the
truth unearths secrets no one was prepared to face.

The Guilt of Others paperback

EXCERPT

“It’s true that during a traumatic event, time slows and single frames of action blur into one long, extended movement. Labored breathing, blood pounding, everything feels like too much, lasting too long. Running for your life feels like an impossibility, dragging cinder blocks attached to the ends of stilted, awkward legs that won’t cooperate. Emerging into the bright sunlight, everything is blurry. From the tears? When did the crying begin? Maybe they were a symptom of the rage that has smothered any other coherent thought. Or perhaps, the tears are a direct result of this new feeling, regret. There’s a familiar voice close by and getting closer. Suddenly, almost as quickly as it began, it’s over. Sandwiched between the weight of another body on top and the rough pavement underneath, the remaining breaths escape into the wind as a long sigh. Perhaps a sigh of relief. The soft sound is difficult to hear over the screaming voices and honking horns. But, it’s over. The blurriness sharpens, and everything becomes clear again.”
