A Wednesday Brief Holiday Short Story

Ashton is exiled to the middle of nowhere where nothing ever happens when his stepdad gets a promotion. Boring, small town life is not how he expected his senior year of high school to go. He's got plans though. His eighteenth birthday means the release of the trust his dad set up before he died. As soon as he gets his diploma, he's gonna split. Just him, his car, and his camera. He'll take pictures of everything, everywhere. Make a life on his terms and no one else's.

Make a name for himself.

He just has to make it through six more months... but then small town life takes a turn he never expected.

Ambushed and trapped, he refused to give in. His life, everything he'd ever wanted, is at risk. Will he find the right way out?

He was never alone. Rage against that which torments him has broken him completely. His fate is decided.

A hot steamy jungle, a plague in the past and present and two men who are destined to be mates. Volatile tempers erupt in a fiery tale of romance and magic.

Sean was out in the woods taking pictures alone, at least he thought he was...
