From an ad in GAZ: "The first of a proposed series (#2 is being typed right now) by Jeannie Marie, FREEDOM AND SLAVERY is a study of slavery and its effects on Master and slave. Rick and AJ find themselves on a different world (literally!) of barbaric splendor, combining exquisite culture and unspeakable cruelty. Changes, both disturbing and exciting, occur in their relationship in the course of their new lives. BOOK I deals with the Simon brother's struggle with culture shock. GORGEOUS illos by Cyn!"

From Media Monitor: "Book III turned out to be so massive, it almost had to be split into two volumes! Hopefully, that's GOOD news to you Simon fen out there :) Continuing the adventures of Rick and A.J. on the planet, Jorella, with the Simons' relationship evolving into something that neither one had ever envisioned, an time is growing short as the balance of nature begins to tip. A cast of thousands (just about), so there's scorecards inside. Whew!"
