Family in Skirts, Part One
This booklet is added to the catalog because a customer requested it.
Except for the cover, no illustrations.
The title family consists of mom/Joan and dad/Jack/Jackie and teen siblings Jill and Bobby. Almost by chance, Bobby experiences the pleasure of wearing cool, soft panties. He makes important discoveries in his sister's discard box and his mother's closet.
His father has been a cross-dresser all his life, and shows his uncertain son acceptance and guidance. The new transvestite in the house leads Jack to acknowledge his practice to both his offspring.
Even sister accepts Bobby's new inclination toward female undies with little ridicule, exposing him to her boyfriend/Leslie and his younger sister/Jeanne. She's delighted by Bobby's prettiness. Everyone admires his legs in nylons.
The story meanders around Bobby's experimentation. A bedroom scene shows how Jack's transvestism mixes with connubial intimacy and understanding Joan. In another tableau, Jill and Leslie entwine in his car.
No one is forced to do anything here. All characters treat a transvestite lifestyle as an attractive alternative with intrinsic sensuality. No relationships suggest domination or submission.
The prose describes chemises, panties, bras, robes, slippers, garter belts, stockings and cosmetics, and the titillating sensations they excite when worn by males. The text identifies colors, textures and fabrics.
For example:
Bobby gathered all of his new collection of undies into his room and removed all of his clothing. He then proceeded to try on each and every item.
What an absolute joy this was! Some of the panties he put on two at a time, reveling in their double layers of silkiness. He even tried on a bra, and not content with the sagging emptiness of the cups, he stuffed them with bunched-up panties to give himself the appearance of a real girl. . . .
Next, he tried some nightgowns. There was one in particular he favored, a long silky creation of lavender nylon that hung in shimmering folds about his lithe frame.
But he couldn't get the full effect in the small mirror above his dresser. Yes, he would use the one in parents' room. Oh, how thrilled he was as he posed and pirouetted in front of his full-length reflection. He hugged himself and petted himself and smiled at himself from his numerous poses.
He lost all track of time as he continued to gaze at the mirrored wall. Then suddenly, he had a new idea. How would he look in a negligee?
The text was re-set for the ebook iteration. Except for correcting naming and page sequencing errors, few changes were made to the conscientious narrative.

In her story, Ms. Kane intends to explore the diverse pleasures of wearing female attire, even for males who wear masculine clothing over their feminine lingerie. Generally, she succeeds.
The Man in Silk
Except for the cover, no illustrations.
Named Johnny, the man in silk works out of Athens as a CIA agent. He attends to work matters as other fictional spies do, outwitting opponents, conferring with confidential informants, tailing persons of interest and enjoying sex with beautiful women he meets in the course of business.
That he does all these things wearing silk panties and pantyhose distinguishes Johnny from his legendary brethren. When the undercover secret becomes known to his various lovers, they seem amused or surprised. Jenny, his most important liaison, has no problem with his pantie predilection, but suggests a different color.
The fast-moving story twinkles with colorful Greek locales and customs, mysterious characters, and the unique protocols of espionage etiquette. The simple premise: find the girl, Sutton, Jenny's elusive sister.
In Johnny's search for Sutton and answers to questions about her, he encounters familiar agents who work for other spy organizations indigenous to the eastern Mediterranean. Through first-person prose, he let's us know his strategies, preferences, professional history, and frustrating aspects of his first teen romance. Through his eyes, we see the women he meets. Johnny tells us how they feel, taste and smell.
An explicit heterosexual orientation belies the cover illustration while remaining true to the title. Straight, sensuous and masculine, nothing about Johnny's penchant renders him effeminate. The only thing he submits to is the irresistible appeal of lovely women who want sex with him.
One aspect of the text that makes the writing exceptional is the absence of superlatives found in most erotic fiction. He says he's not picky, that Greek men are better-looking than Greek women. And he makes mistakes and winds up trapped.
The text was re-set for the ebook. While some punctuation was changed, the original vocabulary was retained. The ebook contains front and back covers, but no advertising.
