A story in the The Props Master Universe
2013 Clitorides Awards third place for "Best Erotic Fantasy." Wayne is your typical long-hair hippie-type theatre student at ICU in 1968. He has a talent for making props that are very realistic. He enthusiastically recruits first an English exchange student and then an anthropology professor to work with the touring production of "Hamlet" to England. Strange things begin to happen and he is drawn into a centuries-old circle of witches. He might be the next vagabond priest: The Props Master.

This is another romance plus a bit. It is set in the Liverpool area of England against a civil engineering background. To say more would spoil the plot. There is no descriptive sex.
