The City of the Amazons
This city stands on the fringes of a desert. It is a terrible location, and indeed some say that it was chosen as a characteristic test of strength by these most Spartan women, whose role in their society is akin to the traditional role of men.
There are many myths about the Amazons. The belief that they charge into battle naked, for example, is based on work which is now considered unreliable: the tome Seriously You Guys, You Could Totally See Their Boobs.
Other false beliefs may be true tales of other, more obscure groups:

Other false beliefs may be true tales of other, more obscure groups:
- That they have no men, growing like fruit from trees.
- That all their men are born cripples, or that male children's legs are broken at birth, or that healthy boy-children are left for the wolves and only the crippled kept.
- That they can bear no male children, and so must steal them (which is said to account for their warlike nature).
- That they are not women, but have no gender; like insects, the queen is the only true woman, and the mother of them all.

Two-Fisted Tweets
I've just put out an ebook, called Two-Fisted Tweets. You can buy it for 99c here. It has 30 mostly humorous stories, including fantasy, science-fiction and horror. Each story is less than 140 characters long (the length of a Twitter tweet).
BookFetish has just done a review. They gave it four and a half stars, and say that "Not since Scott Huot and GW Brazier’s Not Proud: A Smorgasbord of Shame and Rachel Fershleiser and Larry Smith’s Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure, has so few words, said so much...Though short in length, Two-Fisted Tweets is long on creative wit and humor that will have you laughing well after the final line has been read." The full review is here.
