From writer Liam Slade (Kristi’s Mom, I Changed Sexes With My Wife) comes a new collection of short stories that look at what happens when people are taken beyond the limits they thought they had: their bodies, sexes, hearts, minds, and very selves are put to the test, and all are left changed.
A down-on-his-luck husband and father must undergo a shocking transition to keep providing for his family. A man pays the price for one disastrous night in his youth. A fairy tale Queen searches for the perfect match for the Princess. A car salesman struggles to come to terms with a changing reality. All these and more in a series of stories that explore the meaning of “Beyond.
Beyond Ourselves is a collection of new short stories continuing and expanding my themes of transformation and change: of gender, of body, of mind, of life. Each of the seven stories reflects TG Fiction in some ways, but some are not quite what they seem.
The collection is 39,000 words in length and features an introduction and story notes for the curious. It contains some sexual situations.
It is available on Amazon Kindle from $3.99 USD or on Smashwords from $3.59 USD.
