"THREE STORIES - Two Erotic" is the first collection of short stories by published author Temple Mathews. In "MENOPAWS," Mathews examines one woman's bizarre and tragic quest to find freedom from her marriage. In "WOODINVILLE," a young man passes through an embarrassing threshold on his way to adulthood. In "THE BIG O," an abused woman flees from her past and embraces her fate with a stunning climax. All three stories demonstrate Mathews's unique vision of life, love, and sex.
