    1. When Ms. Petersen announces she’s assigning partners for the semester project, Martin's stomach drops. He prefers to work alone. He hopes for one of the smart girls, but Ms. Petersen is already reading last names alphabetically. His comes right after Owen's. Owen. A cheeky-faced kid with glasses like the O of his name, sitting under a mop of dark curls. Martin passes him a thousand times in the halls without really seeing him, mostly because he usually has his nose in a book. He doe

    1. It must be a joke, but if it is Josef doesn’t see the punchline coming. He looks again at the help wanted ad: “July 22, 1968. Writer needed. Must write good.

    Hello. I'm new here, as of today, January 9. I write from the Pacific Northwest. I'm happily married for a long time. I've published for some years on some other online forums, and only just learned about gayauthors today. I hope to publish something this weekend, after I ensure my profile and other settings are properly set up. Please excuse the dumb pen name. I used it when that was my tumblr blog, and too late to change now. If you'd like a more human name, call me Joe.
