I always thought death was the end. Turns out, it’s only the beginning.

For years I am alone, confined to this house. I know nothing but pain and loneliness, until three new homeowners move in, and I realize one of them can see me.

When one of them finds my ring, everything changes. It feels like coming alive again as I’m able to interact with each man, but like all things, the good times don’t last.

My ring is more of a threat than we expected.

I must find the strength to let go of the loves of my afterlife, for their own sakes. Because there’s nothing worse than death… right?

a few years ago i mentioned that i wrote a book about the exciting, awkward and embarrassing experiences of growing up with computers and video games in the 80s and 90s.

i wanted to remember what it felt like being the only dorky computer kid at school. or what it was like to hear my first modem handshake sound. or starting the first flamewar on the school's national FirstClass BBS in the macintosh lab over the lunch-hour

it was originally something i wrote only for my family and friends who were there at the time.

and then i met all of you folks when i started my first masto instance 4 years ago. i had no idea there were so many hardcore retrocomputing and gaming nerds out there; unix and mac and ms-dos folks alike.

so i mentioned it casually. i was surprised by the interest in the book.

so i spent the better part of the past 3 years rewriting the book for *you* fellow mastodon dorkus malorkuses. the book is a celebration of all of the best (and worst) parts of a kid growing up in the digital age.

we're all busy old tired stressed folks now. so every memory and cringetacular story is short enough to read on a 5 minute bus/metro/toilet ride. they're weaved together into an arc that starts at my family's first Tandy TRS-80 and ends at my school's Mac LC II and building my first Pentium 133.

it's finally published, and i'm super proud of what it became thanks to everyone here nerding out for years.

enjoy the book. i wrote it just for you. ❤️

Being an omega in a newly formed democracy isn’t easy.

I have rights that others fought to put in place. I can’t just resort to the way things were before. Becoming a stay-at-home wife and mother to a pack who doesn’t respect me is not my idea of a good time. There has to be another way.

Everyone’s expectations weigh on me until I finally give in and join the dating site that took over after the omega matching ceremonies were stopped.

My family is overjoyed when a match is suggested quickly. I’m hopeful until our first date. Will disappointment ruin Christmas?

I’m almost too distracted to notice the three handsome guys who keep coming into the bakery where I work. I think they’re flirting, but I can’t be sure. I’m probably projecting, since my heat is coming soon.

I need to figure something out before our holiday dinner in two short weeks. Otherwise I’ll be forced into a bad match by my parents.

Being the only child of an infamous mafia family is hard, especially when my father wanted a son but got a daughter. Add being an omega, and it’s worse. My day to day life is filled with thugs to protect me and violence I just can't escape. My father controls every aspect of my life, including who I can date.

Omegas like me are choice property and worth millions to the right buyer.

When I'm taken by Father's enemies, I fear my fate is sealed. If I don't give these men what they want, I could lose more than I already have. If I do, I could lose myself.

But maybe I don’t know who I am.

Now that I’ve had a taste of true freedom, I crave them even as I fight against their demands. My oncoming heat looms, reminding me that I desperately need an alpha. Or three. But Jarek and I hate each other, Rafael betrayed me, and Milo thinks I’m dead. Since those are the only three alphas I’ve ever been attracted to, I feel as if I’m out of luck.

Then Milo unexpectedly shows up, and I think I’m being rescued. But my captors make him an offer he may not refuse. Will he join them against my family?

I'm torn between my loyalty to my family and my attraction to these men. If I make the wrong decision, I could destroy everything.
