Some are titled, most are not. Some are just a few pages, and some have been submitted for publication.
All are works in progress, and they are a promise of good things to come.
Smoke and Mirrors
Eryn and Jake meet under unlikely circumstances and find that life is often more difficult than love.
But they overcome obstacles and settle in to a life together, only to discover secrets in Eryn's past which could destroy them both. Secrets he didn't even know existed. Work in Progress
Aaron and Taylor
Aaron's not a cowboy, but he's playing one on TV. Tanner is a cowboy, as real as it gets,
and he's Aaron's horse wrangler on the set.
Neither had any particular interest in the other, until a particularly bad day of filming opens their eyes to possibilites neither one dreamed existed. Work in Progress
Southern Cross
Craig Messinger, 19, is a cooper in 1880 Australia and he is fascinated by the tall ships that come to port
and buy his father's goods. Although he can never be a sailor, he loves listening to the sailors spin their yarns
whenever he gets the chance.
When he is robbed and packed inside one of his own crates, he wakes to find himself aboard the Southern Cross, already well on it's way to America. He is homesick and lonely until Tanner Williams, 32 years old and the Cross's first mate, takes him under his wing and shows him life at sea has it's own special rewards. Work in Progress
Ethan and Mac
Badly scarred after a brutal gay bashing, Ethan is reclusive, hiding in his work as a printer and shy of anyone
seeing his damaged face.
Mac needs a printer to complete a costly project, and it seems the two are Fated to meet. Mac cares nothing for scars, and Ethan is drawn to Mac's easy going nature. Unfortunately, the Fates are capricious, and Ethan learns an ugly truth behind his beating, from Mac himself. A truth that could tear them apart almost before they have fairly begun. Work in Progress
Jared and Mark
Jared and Mark have been together for years. Jared, a freeclimbing instructor, is athletic and drawn to the outdoors.
Mark on the other hand is a world class pianist, and believes that "roughing it" means a hotel without room service.
Yet their love endures, despite their differences, until Jared falls from the sheer face of a cliff to land broken and bleeding on the rocks below. Mark comes to his rescue and gets him safely home, but things are no longer the same between them. It's as if they had never met until Mark carried him off that mountain. Jared is confused by many things. Not the least of which is how Mark knew where to find him in the first place. Work in Progress
Jazen and Tian
Jazen is a cargo runner, accustomed to traveling the immense distance between planets through null space.
Only, every time his ship enters that curious void between moments in time, he is beseiged by terrifying dreams
of darkness, confinement, and loss. A voice cries out to him, begging for rescue, desperate for freedom.
Tian, once bonded to handsome young Lin until the boy was lost in an accident, now lives a life of solitude amongst a people who have never known spaceflight. When Tian finds himself in the same circumstances that took Lin's life, and discovers the boy's death was no accident, only one man can rescue him. A man who ceases to exist every time he enters null space. Work in Progress
Mike and Loen
Michael DuChamp is a shy, introverted, social recluse, resigned to his station in life, and with good reason.
He has no interest in fitting in, or so he keeps telling himself, until an insistent stranger intrudes on his
quiet, often angry world.
Loen is bright, personable, popular, and utterly entranced by the solitary, handsome man he sees every day through the coffeeshop window. Michael doesn't want company, doesn't want to join the wider world, but Loen won't take no for an answer. Work in Progress |
