Stories

Greg Fowler is a driven young man. From winning the WV State Wrestling Championship to being the President of the Student Council as a junior, Greg is a born leader. His life is about to take a turn he never could have expected. It all begins when he, quite literally, runs into Scott Warnick.

A continuing story of Struan Kenrick, as he continues his life in the Army, making the occasional trip home to visit his brothers, and taking another train trip with his youngest brother Sawney, this time on the "Ghan", heading north to Darwin, where once again trouble follows them...

THE MANTIS CONTINUUM leaves behind the grimdark style of the previous story, and it morphs into an eldritch tale of psychic confrontation. Two weird children, Jzuna and Thech, go through a significant upheaval in their happy lives. A unique trio of gay 17 year old lads embark on a buccaneer adventure. A man living alone in isolation is found and helped, but with very unexpected consequences.

All of them suffer loss. All of them go through grief. All of them end up in Teshon City.

There is a cursed village, a trip to paradise, and a painting party.

There are giants, multiple alternate dimensions, and ice cream!

Translations of Wilhelm Runge's unique poems, which blend natural sights with erotic feelings. As far as I know, this is the first substantial collection of the poet's work to be rendered in English.

All artwork posted with the poems are by noted Gay American photographer Minor White

While attending a Memorial Day 18th birthday party, Seth is asked by a friend's brother about being interviewed for his high school newspaper. The interview brings back vivid memories of serving as a Congressional intern and being trapped inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Asher and Seth just graduated from New York's top public high school. With so much to celebrate, their parents throw them a surprise party, where they meet new friends. The son of a black Creole father and an Asian American mother, Asher has developed his own style of Cajun-Asian fusion that has earned him a reputation as one of New York's top chefs. The son of a politician, Seth plans to follow in his father's footsteps. Both boys will begin college in the fall, but first there is an opportunity to help Asher's parents realize their dream of opening new restaurant.

After six years of marriage, Jacob and Kyle have kept themselves busy raising their children and pursuing their individual dreams. Just when things seem to settle into a normal routine, a secret from the past sets their lives upside down. Friendships and more will be tested to their very limits. Will their marriage survive the stresses and strains they put on it, or will their dreams shatter once and for all?

Even if it can withstand everything, their lives and everyone else will be permanently changed in ways none of them could have ever thought possible.

Larry was the son of a famous opera singer and a well-known conductor, but his passion in life was to be a medical scientist. However, when the pandemic waylaid his plans to go to the Bronx High School of Science, instead he applied to LaGuardia, New York's premier public high school of the arts. Just as an intermezzo is a short musical bridge, Intermezzo brings together characters from other stories in the New York Stories series while filling in some gaps. Told from the point of view of Larry's girlfriend, Robin, he learns that sometimes the shortest path to one's goals isn't the straightest one.

Lest we forget our dead.

Jamie Grimmstone is a young apprentice mage in the shop of the Master Thorvil, and longs to be a master himself. Together with his best friend (and boyfriend) Garvin Kinsmith, they keep the Master’s shop in order, assist the Master on his many missions, and study to one day become more than they are.

Life seems orderly, if slow, and Jamie has resigned himself to years of study before he can be a true mage himself…until one day, quite unexpectedly, an opportunity arises that the boys can hardly pass up, and they are off on a task that quickly turns into an adventure...
