Extra Innings is a companion short story series to Swing for the Fences, told in close third person and designed to step outside Nick’s first-person view. These stories reveal the moments he never saw—private conversations, hidden conflicts, and emotional turning points that unfolded when he wasn’t in the room, or when the truth looked different from another perspective. By uncovering the inner lives and quiet choices of the surrounding characters, Extra Innings deepens and expands the world of Swing for the Fences beyond what was ever visible on the surface.

My name is Jason and I'm a starting linebacker on a high school football team in Texas. I love being the leader of the defense and all that comes with it: big hits, aggression, and going for the win. Oh...I'm also closeted and have that same energy off the field...

Swing for the Fences is a coming-of-age LGBTQ+ romance about Nick, a shy freshman at an elite boys’ boarding school, who unexpectedly falls for his mysterious and troubled roommate, Jack. As their friendship deepens into love, they face mental health struggles, family rejection, and the chaos of teenage life. With the help of their quirky, loyal friend group, Nick and Jack fight to hold onto each other—and discover that first love, no matter how messy, can be real, raw, and worth it.

A street-smart eighteen-year-old thief takes on what he thought would be an easy score.

Tyler Scott can't wait to start his senior year. An agreement with his dad means he needs to get an A in Advanced Calculus. That might be an unachievable task as his math teacher takes pride in never giving out A's. And he might have to do one little thing that could be considered gay to fulfill a bet he lost to his best friend, Devin. As a result, Tyler begins to question his sexuality. The only person he can turn to for advice is Brandon Myers, an old friend he hasn't spoken to in three years since the boy came out freshmen year. Can Brandon help him comes to terms before Tyler's life falls apart?

Ben Gay just wanted to tell the truth and get his story straight.

That was his first mistake.

The second was thinking anyone would believe him.

When a voicemail arrives, Simon is forced to confront not only the wreckage of a love that lit up his world and nearly destroyed it, but he must also confront his own sins born from his inability to come to terms.

What follows is a haunting, intimate descent through denial, addiction, and the lies we cling to when there's nothing else left. And the brutal strength it takes to finally let go.

This isn't a love story. It's a story of what survives after.
