PUBLISHER'S NOTE
Whipster deals with the ethical issues surrounding youth prostitution
in a fantasy setting based on Edwardian times. Because of the prison setting,
the stories sometimes address the topics of emotional, sexual, and physical
abuse, including child abuse. The series contains no depictions of underage
sex. The primary focus of the story is on the interactions between the
adult characters.
DEDICATION
To Anne Blue, who never dreamed I'd send her a story like this when
she innocently asked whether I'd like to submit to her magazine.
