SHORT FICTION INDEX NEXT STORY PREVIOUS STORY	J.C. on the Dude Ranch Genre Science Fiction / Western / Erotic Type Short story Series - Originally submitted to Playboy, but the editor turned it down "...because of a fear that PJF would be accused of plagiarizing a novel that he has never read, as it had not been released at the time he submitted the story..."

The situation is something like Sodom and Gomorrah meets Armageddon...   PUBLICATION HISTORY | US | UK | ITALY | SPAIN |	19 Publications
