Read "The Political Courtesan Strikes Back"

My story "The Political Courtesan Strikes Back" has been published in The Lorelei Signal.  This webzine is crowdfunded, so if you enjoy the story, please toss a little something in the tip jar.  Writers and artists get paid a tiny little advance, and if that earns out, royalties ensue.

You may also enjoy the inspirational backstory.  A while ago, I got a review copy of yet another "political courtesan" novel, something that's been all the rage for the last several years.  Since the back-cover description sounded much like all the others, only less interesting, I chucked it onto the "direct to used-book store" pile ... on top of a bad "lost prince" novel, and I allowed as to how they could just entertain each other instead of wasting my time.  Then I got to thinking what a courtesan is really all about, and how that might cause some trouble for a lost prince ... and this story is the result.
