A demon baby, a custody battle, and one very dysfunctional family.

When a desperate woman dumps a fire-breathing toddler on Taine's doorstep, the philosophy professor's life explodes into chaos. Now he's navigating demonic family court with his undead ex, his wrestling-obsessed almost-boyfriend, and a cherub who hasn't practiced law in 3,000 years.

This story follows Virgil and Sam, two teen boys who were unaware of each other’s crush on the other, on their sexual discoveries and journey. With a bunch of other interesting stuff that happens along the way to them and their friends. Those that know my work know that interesting will take many forms.

It’s also different from any of my other stories because it is told from multiple points of view. Many characters act as the narrator over the course of the story. I was told this format/style doesn’t work, but I decided to let you all judge for yourselves. I hope you all enjoy it, whether for the first time or not.

Rami is a home stager, selling the illusion of perfection. His ex brother-in-law Dan is everything he's not supposed to want: too big, too hairy, too straight, too... Dan.

When artist and illustrator Louis leaves London and moves to his late uncle’s house in Northamptonshire, his intention is to simplify his life.

Today, with modern treatment and prevention, we often forget about AIDS and the toll it took upon the gay community. At the end of a long trip, Robert's final stopover is Minneapolis. There, he encounters a friend of a friend who had fallen to AIDS twenty-five years earlier. This is a sad story, and was difficult to write, and I've kept it on the back burner for over a year. Dedicated to a close friend who passed thirty-two years ago on his favorite holiday, Halloween.

This story completes a trilogy, following "A Class Reunion" and "Love, In the Ashes of Time."

Sam has cajoled and coaxed Max, and with the big day finally coming, he's footing the bill for a suit at a high-end menswear boutique. What neither counted on was the sleek salesman with the talented mouth offering one a very private fitting—while the other waits outside the dressing room door.

Welcome to a world where everything is not quite as it seems; a world of myth and mystery, of knights and castles and dragons, and where love knows no boundaries. The knights of the Order of the Dragon have been defeated, with the usurper - the Dark Lord, Septimus - assuming control of the Five Lands of Candor, while he seeks the Golden Throne of Jeebath. This is the story of those who stand in his way.

Some choices are within our control, while some are not. Life is about acceptance and balance... and living with consequences as we look forward and back.
