Book excerpt: The end of 1884 marked the beginning of a mysterious series of brutal killings that left the citizens of Austin, the capital city of Texas, bewildered and terrified. By the end of 1885, the so-called servant girl murders had claimed the lives of at least five black women and girls, one black man, and two white women, most all hacked to death with an ax or a hatchet. The murders produced a marvelous tale of rape, murder, revenge. prostitution, drunkenness, miscegenation, and official ineptitude. This book chronicles those murders and subsequent events. The intent is to give readers the same thorough sense of the crimes Austinites might have experienced through local, state, and national media. 432 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches; maps, photos, index. "Extremely thorough and meticulous . . . a valuable reference source for future researchers of Austin history." (J. R. Galloway, www.servantgirlmurders.com)

This book was released on 2023-04-25 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Category Fiction > GL (Girls' Love) Fiction > Short Story Fiction > Korean Fiction (Web Novel) Summary A small girl with a talent for magic from a small country has become Empress. One of the duties of the handmaidens who serve her is to heat up the Empress's body before she takes a man into her bed, so that she can enjoy greater pleasure. One of the most favored of the maids, and she truly loves the Empress, but for some reason, the Empress doesn't call her in the bedchamber lately. Until one day, she is summoned to the Empress's bedchamber. She's been trained in all sorts of skills to prepare the Empress's body for a great pleasure. An one-act play of tantrums and heat. #western #courtAndNobles #hardcore #king/noble * This short story of GL(Girls' Love) is translated from from the original Korean short web-novel. (text only, no illustration) Tables Of Contents Title Page Body Content Copyright (36 pages in approx. print length) Preview The handmaiden wrinkles her skirt in pain as she watches her Majesty become a woman, crying out in pleasure. "My dear, isn't your work done here?" Hmph, the maid turns her head, her lips press together in a momentary scream. Peering at her through the crack in the door is the head maid, Susan. Even if she is called the head maid, the name of the imperial head maid is enough to make most nobles cringe. The sight of her neat brown hair and bright brown eyes makes the maid jump to her feet. The head maid sees the open door and hears the groan, and as if she understands the situation, she quietly closes the door behind her. Even her actions are graceful and serene, like the flow of water. After closing the door firmly with her slender fingers, she turns to the maid. "Follow me." The maid, more than a little miffed, lowers her eyes and follows her. *** The maid sighed softly as she cleaned up as her punishment. It had been over a month since she had seen the Empress's face. In that time, several men had entered her chamber. It was her job to arouse the Empress's body before she bedded a man. She did many other things, but that was her favorite. To kiss and lick the soft flesh, to bask in the glory of the battle scars. There were many who did this, but the Empress had grown quite fond of this handmaiden. She never told her, and it's doubtful she even remembered her, but she let her in more often than the others. This was probably because she had a keen eye for the Empress's moods and tastes. She loved it when she could make the Empress's body aroused. She never went all the way each time, so she never performed, but she was always eager to learn these skills. She was always the favored partner among those in the same training. Even those who had met and married men and moved on to other departments sometimes came to her room.
