Stealing Muscle Jayne Greye

This FMG anthology came from the idea that society sees people who appreciate muscular or powerful females as deviants. Despite often feeling marginalized for their interests, a host of male and female authors from five countries and three continents came together to celebrate female muscle. Through various genres including heroines, sci-fi, fantasy and mystery, they take an alternative look at female muscle growth. They turn the conventional power dynamic between the sexes, where a male must dominate a female, on its head with humor, intrigue and yes, raw sexual need. More extraordinary relationships are possible and worthwhile. The women in these stories are housewives, pirates, professionals, test subjects, and students. They gain power through their strength of will, determination, and physical effort. Some use their power to right what they see as wrongs, or to escape abuse, while others seek to dominate the world and people around them. They are more than just brave; they have physical power carved into their physiques and the courage and desire to impress that strength into everything they do. The authors of this work recognize the work, dedication, thankless hours, and sacrifices female bodybuilders and powerlifters put in. These women, as one of our authors and a female bodybuilder noted, "literally wear their work." Too often, the literature fails to represent that fact. The women in this collection go through hardships, but do not flag or surrender in their dream of building physical and mental strength. On these women, whether or not society appreciates it, power is both beneficial and sexy. All profits from the sale of this compilation will go to three organizations we care deeply about: the Red Cross, the Rain Forest Trust, and UNICEF.
