1985 obituary of Paul Bunyan from Wood Enthusiast Monthly.

Marc Wynn has accompanied his beloved aunt to estate sales for years, but he's never found anything he couldn't live without-until he meets Sawyer Calhoun. Sawyer wastes no time in revealing his romantic interest in Marc, but their promising first evening ends badly with Sawyer as adamant about broadcasting his sexuality as Marc is about hiding his. But when Sawyer hires Marc to restore his grandfather's house, their intense attraction grows into an emotional connection neither can resist. During the renovations, surprises come to light, and Sawyer must face his past when a tragedy threatens Marc's livelihood.

Obviously, this is a continuation of The Root Beer Boys and picks up where that story ended. Same characters, other relationships begin to develop among the boys.

A young man in reluctant thrall to his burgeoning sexuality. A best friend who doesn't understand why he's been pushed away. Two other young men, who may or may not be related, in the throes of a weird-but-friendly competition. A baseball card and a shell necklace and a reefer before the storm. A ruined shotgun shack. And, lastly, a psychedelic patchwork quilt. What do these things have in common? Free love.

Matt and Jeff have volunteered to help out at the school Fair For Life. As usual with his boyfriend, there's a small catch involved, and Matt has let Jeff talk him into accepting it. That he might regret it is almost certain!

A short story written seven years ago, one of the first I ever posted anywhere.

An athletic high-school senior and a studious freshman form an unusual friendship.

Charlie and his friends have gotten their business, Third Planet Inquiries, rolling. After a slow start, job inquiries have been coming in, and they have launched into solving unusual mysteries all over the planet and beyond. So when a man contacts them about investigating a house that refuses to be renovated, the guys are off on another adventure that will take them to the ends of the earth, and more!

Ben and Jim are half-brothers and sons of self-made billionaire Jerome Henandez. The Henandez sons are handsome, charming and intelligent, groomed to lead and head the multi-million empire set up by their father. Though half-brothers, their love for each other is manifested in everything they do.

However, everything changes when David enters the picture. Their lives become intertwined through scandals, rivalry and romance when Jim falls hopelessly in love with the handsome hunk who on the other hand has his eyes on the kindhearted, mysterious and strong-headed Ben. Who will rise and fall in this game of love?

A coming of age story of two young boys finding what true love really is.

A runaway orphan boy loses himself in a primeval American forest and, on the brink of death, is saved by the animals living there. As he recovers he finds that the animals have saved him for a reason, a reason that makes his life worth living. It seems like a fable that might have taken place in Africa, or India, a hundred years ago, but although this boy was not raised by apes or wolves, his story in contemporary America is even stranger. Be warned, however, that although this tale has many joyous moments, there is sorrow here as well, sorrow for the boy, and for the many who came to love him.
