Tristan’s Whore was drafted when the dreams of a woman whose face I’ve never beheld began more than seven years ago. The character in my dreams was so complex and overwhelming she became monozygotic twins: Martha and Sasha, or, as they call each other, Kink and Kay.

Tristan’s Whore Volume II, Amanda is a field manual for how to save the world; assuming you are a clinical psychologist/neuropsychologist prepared to begin your internship at the University of Montana’s Mental Health Service by keeping a world-saving plan in three spiral notebooks tucked inside your sock and panty drawer in a bedroom bureau in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Lead by four Girls of the Fire, the remnants of the Clan of the Gray Bear make one last-ditch effort to save the world causing the government to launch a search and destroy campaign against the coven.
Girls of the Fire is a spiritual fantasy rife with political and cultural satire. The story is both dystopian and utopian, hopeless and (hopefully) inspiring, degrading and sublime. In short, Girls of the Fire is about being human and our capacity for being inhuman.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Anni Oliphant
Once upon a time, as a homework assignment due on Halloween, I wrote a cute little story about a cute little girl who meets a friendly ghost. I was proud of my story and showed it to my father. He read my story. He crumpled up the two or three pages of notebook paper and threw them into the wood-burning heating stove in the middle of our living room. Father compelled me to sit at the kitchen table and transcribe, verbatim, a different story. I remember my father’s story as though I had written it myself. A knight errant wanders into a copse (yes, he used the word ‘copse’) on All Hallows’ Eve and is set upon by ghosts and goblins, witches and sorcerers. The knight prevails. My father died a long time ago. I miss him. I miss both of my parents. There is a certain sadness living in a world in which they no longer exist. And it’s also frightening; they were a convenient excuse for not telling my own stories.
When I was in the fourth grade, I wrote a cute little story about a cute little girl. Writing the story was a homework assignment due on Halloween. The cute little girl meets a friendly ghost, and they go on an adventure. I was proud of my story and showed it to my father. He read it, then crumpled up the two or three pages of notebook paper and threw them into the wood-burning heating stove in the middle of our living room.

FLOWER
Song
Flower Song is a love story among three, star-crossed lovers. Flower Song Kintay lives in the house next door to Nika Hope Carter and his sister, Danielle Song Carter. Although Nika and Dany are madly in love with Flower, neither of them is destined to walk through life with Flower, but they have their moments. Flower’s journey is beyond Nika and Dany’s capacity to comprehend, so they’re both forced to settle for moments at the periphery of Flower’s destiny.
MORE ABOUT THE BOOK
Flower Song
Dany and Nika are blond-haired and blue-eyed. Flower is Black and Native American making cultural conflicts and misunderstandings inevitable. Still, they persist in their love for each other. Flower Song is spiritual fantasy and magic realism.
Flower Song
Like the rainbow she is destined to become, Flower Song is bright and beautiful, ephemeral and metamorphous. She is also heart-breakingly human. And she breaks many hearts. But, for Dany and Nika, the moments between heartbreaks are well worth the pain of loving Flower Song.

Whore
Volume I: Billy
Tristan’s Whore was drafted when the dreams of a woman whose face I’ve never beheld began more than seven years ago. The character in my dreams was so complex and overwhelming she became monozygotic twins: Martha and Sasha, or, as they call each other, Kink and Kay.
MORE ABOUT THE BOOK
Tristan's WHORE
I make no claim of channeling some spiritual or supernatural entity and there is no surreal source for this story. I am Martha and Sasha, Kink and Kay, Billy and Amanda. Two years after beginning the telling of this story, I came out as genderfluid to friends and family. Many of whom are no longer friends while others metamorphosed into distant relatives.
Tristan's WHORE
For me, Tristan’s Whore is catharsis: the peeling away of masks and veils, onion skins and scabs. For you, I hope it’s an exhilarating journey through all the shades of love and despair, annihilation and resurrection. I am in the process of becoming a woman. Mrs. Oliphant seems not to be a proper name for someone bursting through the womb for a second time. I’m thinking Anni.

MORE ABOUT THE BOOK
Tristan's WHORE
Volume II introduces Malcolm the Miracle Boy. Malcolm is difficult to describe so I’ll recite facts: 0.36% of transgender adults detransition because of gender dissonance experienced during or after transitioning. Most of the 9% who detransition do so because they break beneath the burden of being berated, belittled, and bullied by best friends and loving families.
Tristan's WHORE
I can relate; for most of my life it was easier for me to be the boy my parents insisted I was than to be who I am. Finally, 98% of people over 18 who gender transition are happier than they were before transitioning. (Source: The U.S. Trans Survey, June 11, 2025) I read far more author websites than books, so I mention these facts assuming our browsing habits are similar.

The fundamental weakness of Western society is empathy. – Elon Musk
Annika (a.k.a. Song of Flowers) is an empath. Annika belongs to an eclectic and loosely knit community of ‘seeing-hearts’ whose raison d’être is to protect the most vulnerable among us.
MORE ABOUT THE BOOK
The eMpath
Many of the seeing-hearts are among the most marginalized. Annika stands apart even in this group of outcasts and misfits: she is a transgender woman. Long after drafting this story, I met a real empath inside an online community supporting the gender variant. She carried me on her shoulders until I could stand on my feet.
The eMpath
When she sought a reprieve from other people’s pain, I offered a quantum solace. She smiled wryly across the ether of cyberspace: How can I weep in someone’s arms when the arms holding me weep more than me? I hope she returns soon. Otherwise, we all weep alone. Expecting people to bear the nasty brutality of life in solitude is a fundamental weakness of Western society.

MORE ABOUT THE BOOK
Girls Of The Fire
Unlike the first three stories in the Lodge of the Gray Bear Saga, Girls of the Fire is not hyper focused on the LGBTQ+ community, though several of the characters reside inside the Rainbow.
Girls Of The Fire
The reason for this change in tone is simple: at the time of the telling of this story, the trans and intersex identities have been exterminated; and the gays, queers, and lesbians live in the shadows. Much like we did in the good old days, when everything was already great and there was no need to make things great again
