Stories

The world's oldest known epic poem is a story of the love of two men. This is my take on the Epic of Gilgamesh, in brief.

Loosely based on "The Golden Bird" (Grimm) and "The Firebird" (Russian folk tale), and on the temptations of the Buddha.

The suitor who wishes to marry Princess Bluze must accompany her to the fairy ballroom. Many refuse...

A king with an open secret, six sons blocked from normal human adulthood, and a daughter who tries to save them by her silence. Based on "The Six Swans," "The Seven Ravens," etc., and the Oedipus cycle. In four parts.

A version of "The Prisoner of Zenda" in which almost all the characters are gay but don't realize it.

This is a full 2-act play which I will post in seven parts.

In the dark future, an unlikely trio in a rundown metropolis are set on a path of unexpected heroism through horrifying trials. For Agrell, Dozi, and Ilya, the harrowing events bring growth through sacrifice and redemption. However, bizarre rituals and arcane arts are commonplace in the world of "The Mantis Variant," and tragedy and death are always close at hand.

This short story is a classic fairytale retold from the other side.

A budding singer joins a band and discovers his sexual orientation isn't what he thought it was.

Every wolf suffers fleas.

17-year-old Michael “B” Smith and his fellow wolf-shifter Soldier Boyz learned to kill while other kids learned to ride bikes.

Mike’s dad, and leader of their pack, expects absolute obedience and perfection from him, or he dishes out beatings. He dutifully complies until his former best friend, 18-year-old Tamir “Pinky” Johnson, moves back into town, stirring long-suppressed emotions in Mike.

To save them, Mike must push Tamir and himself beyond their limits and become pack leader.

Will he succeed in subduing the Soldier Boyz and winning Tamir’s heart?

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!
