I think I read this short story before 1989 in Asimov's SF Magazine (which started publication in 1971 and I was reading back through old ones in a collection, so it could be any time in the 70s or 80s). It concerned a young adult male protagonist (on Earth, who thinks he's human) who meets an "uncle" who looks a lot like him, from whom he learns that he is not human, but an alien passing among humans, who goes through a maturational process whereby two genetically related individuals fuse into one, and his "uncle" who is looking younger by the day and he are fated to merge into one person.

Key scene description )

Anybody recognize this story?

And I could look through Amazon forever...same with Google.

I believe the title was The Princess and I believe it was a hardcover. I read it years ago, somewhere between 1968 and...not sure. It was about a woman who found out she had cancer. I'm not sure if she WAS married or got married. She was reluctant to get pregnant, but then she did and the cancer disappeared. It would help if anyone can provide possible books and authors.

Can't remember much of this book, just that the woman was given (?) by the gov to aliens as a volunteer (not sure though if she was just abducted) as part of the peace treaty. She caught the eye of the alien king because of her violet eyes. She also kinda belly dances later in the story while pregnant. Her husband the alien king's anatomy saved him from an assasination attempt where his heart is actually on the right side instead of left. I think this was part of a series, and despite my description, the book is actually more of a romance than an erotic book. Can someone help me find the title? Pls and thanks.

I read this paperback back in 2001 while working as an intern. It was on my borrowed desk and I was bored.

The book cover said it was made into a mini series.

It revolves around a young girl and the Mafia. The girl (I think her name was Mauve or something similar) got pregnant and was forced to have an abortion that left unable to ever have kids. She got involved in the family business after that. She blew up an entire lot of rival ice cream trucks. She stole an armored truck and buried it. She fell in love with an FBI agent that was there to take down her family. She helps them and in the end, they are together on a plane.
