Welcome to our first Signature author feature of 2022! We've been focusing on our Classic authors for a few years, and now we're going to showcase stories by our Signature authors starting with AC Benus. August is a month of many camping trips here in the US, so I wanted to share this great short story he wrote back in 2018 that features... camping!

Length: 23,478

Description: Remembering summer nights and lakeside settings, best friends come together to renew their camping traditions one year after graduating high school. Lee is nervous his drunken coming out via Skype has ruined everything. But an invite and the glimmer of hope they can repair their friendship is impossible for him to turn down, especially after Lee spent a lonely year at college. 

A reader said: This is a beautifully written story of love between two friends. Not for the first time has AC Benus brought tears to my eyes and melted my heart. No one writes men in love like AC Benus, no one.  Don't miss this lovely, touching and joyous journey of the heart. ~ Mikiesboy
