Indigo - The Swordswoman's Tale

Nicholas Urfe has little to say about himself, aside from the obvious: at an unspecified time after the Second World War, he taught English at a boy's school on the almost entirely fictional island of Phraxos, where he fell in with a thoroughly disreputable character named Conchis and had sex with one (or perhaps two) of what might (or might not) have been a pair of twin sisters. Having handled himself rather badly throughout the entire affair, he has spent his days since attempting to make up for it. (It is left to the audience to decide whether he has succeeded.)

Far from the sniggering accounts of school-boy paederasty one might have supposed, given such a background--cheeky crumpets, radishing, that sort of thing--Nicholas (Mister Urfe to his friends) has instead devoted himself to a dualistic oeuvre of onanistic literature which concerns itself more often than not with those odd girls known variously as Daughters of Bilitis, tribades, fricatrices, "Tom Rigs," Sapphics, dykes, etc.

Nicholas is also responsible for "The James Sisters," an ongoing soap opera set in an unspecified American city which follows the distinctly mysterious adventures of Carter, a diffident writer, and his entanglements with the sinister and somewhat incestuous James family, with especial attention to the eponymous siblings: Jessie, and Leah.

Both are published in irregular installments, when he can be bothered to scrawl them out. Contact the author at nickurfe@yahoo.com.
