You will notice we go into detail about each story, including the month and year the story first came out. This could be handy information to know. Each entry is adorned with the cover design and a couple of pictures taken from the story it's self. This gives you a pretty good idea of what the story is really like. Though we try not to spill too much information in the description.
To navigate quickly:
We have separated our stories into categories. They are found on the right sidebar of this website. They are as follows...
You can click on any one of these to find a particular kind of story and books/videos under that category will be listed on the page. As a quick reference:
Fiction - This category is for all fiction books and movies. These are titles that have little to no amount of truth to them, and are mostly written for fun or humor.
For Mature Readers - These are stories/movies that have content that may be x-rated or very strong language. These are not recommended for readers under 18 years of age.
Non-fiction - These are stories/books/videos that are based on actual events, or are for documentation and facts.
Stories For Children - These are stories/movies that are safe for children under 13 years of age.
Stories for Young Adults - These are stories/movies that are better suited for children 13 and older. They may contain some strong language.
Story Compilations - These are collections of different titles of the same subject, sometimes by different authors, and told in their own way. Keep in mind, the stories in these collections may be of mixed media. That is to say, some stories in these books may be fact, and some may be fiction.
Video Movies - This will bring up our collections of videos. Some may be factual, some may be fiction.
Videobooks - This will bring up stories that also have accompanying videobooks.

When you click on this button, it will take you to a page that has the payment information on it...
This gives you 2 options. You can pay for your book through your Paypal account, or you can use a credit card (via Stripe). All major credit cards are accepted.

There is also going to be shipping charges added to the cost of the book when ordering a paperback or hardback copy. For an approximate estimate of shipping costs, go to this site. (Lulu ships from Morrisville, NC). They vary per book and shipping method you choose. All paperback books are printed on demand.
