Stand and Deliver : Adrian Marshall
Stand and Deliver: Chinese Takeaway Delivery Drivers Do It Szechuan Style
Picture the scene; in my early fifties I was made redundant from the world of IT, and judging that there was more chance of me seeing Lord Lucan riding Shergar to victory in the next St. Leger, than continuing in my chosen trade, I bade a fond farewell to the computer business and took the next logical and blatantly obvious career move. I would be a Chinese Takeaway Delivery Driver.
These are some of my experiences, in no particular order, as an ‘Oriental Comestible Transportation Executive,’ with liberal scatterings of general observations on life, the universe and everything. Most of the stories contain a certain percentage of poetic license, plus necessary name, location and setting changes, but there is more than a grain of truth in them all.

Psyche Honor : Chrissie Buhr
Psyche Honor
“Silence filled the room, thick and palpable. No Elder Meeting had ever been this divided. Conflict had always existed towards something or someone else, and they came together to resolve it together. They’d disagreed many times, but they’d never been divided.” Until Sadie.
Sadie didn’t believe in werewolves until her girlfriend came to her rescue wearing fur. Billie, Beta of the Boise Pack, never dreamed she’d discover her mate is a Mage. After centuries of conflict between the two races, none could remember even a simple friendship between a Wolf and a Mage. Mates? Unfathomable.
Raised by Humans, even Sadie didn’t know she was a Mage until recently. For half her life, she’d abhorred the mental powers that marked her as a freak and terrified others. Keeping the promise she made to herself years ago, she refused to use her abilities to control the people around her. Few of the Wolves will look beyond her race, and only the Alpha’s promise keeps them from killing her.
Sadie wants to lie low, let the dust settle, and spend time with Billie. Instead an ancient Wolf appears and asks her to protect the pack against a Mage invasion. In order to protect her mate and the pack, Sadie must jeopardize everything and everyone she loves. She could lose Billie, the few friendships she’s formed among the Wolves, and the Alpha’s protection. She’ll meet others like her for the first time.
