In Human Form

by Xavier Edwards

Banished from the heavens for daring to love each other, Alexis and Seth are locked in stone for all but one night a year — All Hallow’s Eve. Their one night in human form is the only time they get to be with each other, but they are facing an uncertain future as the night has changed around them over the centuries.

Seeing her opportunity to resolve it, Alexis takes a step that could only be described as shocking, but has it worked?

Special bonus story — Île Sans Nom

There’s a reason why no one wants to visit Île Sans Nom, though no one can remember what it is. For Shaun and Nicola that mystery only pulls them closer to the island. Finally they are granted permission to visit the Île Sans Nom, but is it a journey they will return from?

A straight out tale of horror featuring wrecked warships, sunken graves, and a mortuary slab cooling in the forest.

About the author

Xavier Edwards (it might be his real name, no one is really sure) has spent his life surrounded by women, and writing. Growing up in rural Australia before the age of the Internet and cable television, there was no better refuge than in books. Any and all genres were absorbed as he and his three sisters grew up far from the hectic pace of the big smoke. The wide expanse of open country and natural beauty have carried across to his writing, forming evocative backdrops to the sensual dance taking place in his stories.

After leaving school, Xavier joined the military and has served with honour in the Air Force, from leading brave men and women into combat to searching for, and finding, people lost at sea. Joining him on this journey has been his wife, three daughters, and two cats.

Behind it all, Xavier continued to write. Freelance journalism proved lucrative and gave him his first taste of a readership that found his writing engaging and evocative. The imagery that continued to dance through his mind, would not suit this audience and when he did write it down and gave it to a small, trusted circle of readers, it had amazing results. Quite by accident, he had discovered a knack for Erotica.

Reviews

[Kimberley · Rating 5 out of 5]

What can I say, Xavier is an amazingly talented author who can paint the most vivid and erotic scenes. While not overly graphic he still manages to put the reader in a position where you can actually feel each tantalising touch enough to make you gasp.
This beautiful story is no exception to what is becoming an addiction.
