Married life can be hectic. Work. Kids. Pets. Sometimes it's hard for a couple to find time for themselves. But those moments of intimacy are still important. They may not come often, but when they do...it's SEX NIGHT!
Unfortunately for Hank and Tara, things don't always go as planned. Rekindling the erotic passions of their youth can feel more like fiasco than fiesta. Will the couple have a happy ending? Or will their problematic love-making session fall short of its climax?

A story set in an alternate reality where the social order of "Black" and "White" is reversed.
Detective Zion Cotton is working the murder case of a young white kid. While most of the department is chalking the killing up to just more "white on white crime," Zion is determined to get justice for the slain teen and his family.
Qia Cotton has her sights set on the neighborhood that the kid was from, with plans of gentrification. However, the murder potentially hinders her plans, and subsequently, Qia and Zion find themselves on opposite sides…

There is a flying ship that runs through an endless desert. Above the desolation, there is an infinite sky, without suns or stars; a sky stuck in perpetual sunset.
It is a ghost world ruled by storms that make time and space mad. If you get caught in one, you can die. Those that do are the fortunate ones. The unlucky ones appear on the other side of the desert in the dark edge, right where the light dies.
Lynsey and Jayel will be live for an hour, and you can ask us anything! Just sign in to Twitch (it's free and super easy) to join the live text chat during the stream, drop your questions, and watch the monkey business unfold!
If you're unable to make the live-stream, you can post your questions in the comments below, or send us a direct message!
And Speaking of Live-Streams…
Did you know that Jayel streams LIVE on Twitch every Tuesday and Thursday evening? You can tune in to watch him create art for Oneshi Press projects anytime he's live!
He's streaming RIGHT NOW, actually (as of the time we're posting this update)…and he's making new art of our exclusive monkey trading cards for this very campaign!
Till the MonkeyMaids campaign ends, every live-stream will feature art for the novella.
In 1957, Ed Wood brought us a movie about aliens who tried to raise the dead to destroy humanity and prevent us from causing a galaxy-destroying weapon they believed we would one day create. This was Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Obviously, plans 1 through 8 failed, and (spoiler alert, but frankly, the movie has been out for 63 years now, so there shouldn't be much to spoil) so did Plan 9. But what happened in the years since 1957? Did the aliens just give up? Were they going to cease their plans to stop us and save the galaxy?
Of course not. Almost 60 years have passed, and in that time, they have attempted to destroy us nearly 50 more times, and humanity has become quite adept at fighting them off. But today, they are coming back for their 59th plan, a plan that is so nefarious it just might work.
