The Organ Builder's Debt
I'm Maria Barnett, forty-four years old, and I run a canoe livery on the Biesbosch with my dad.
Opal Quarry
Amateur fiction writer in Michigan, keeping company with no pets right now, just houseplants and rye whiskey or strong espresso. I mostly write in Transgender, Gay Male, and Crossdressing, especially stories built around the anniversary surprise that goes sideways and people who work as plumbers or similar real-world trades. Constructive comments and favorites are always welcome. Ranked by how many readers finish them. Some are free to read in full; the rest open with a free preview.
