Anthology story

Stop me if you've heard this one before.

Two college football players walk into a gay sports bar...

No conflict and no drama. A little feelgood story to start the new year.

Hunter has plans and reasons. Get the hell out of Park Terrace, power through college to get to New York City where he can be himself - because there is nothing and no one to tie him down, unless you could coming back to visit the parents. New York City would bring the romance he loves so much, maybe even one of those 'hate them at first sight and grudgingly learn to love them' type stories.

No. Those are too much work.

Tony and Sean Morgia-Mulligan had been married for quite a few years, but recently they’d lost some items that they felt could never be replaced.

In fact, Jeremy might even have a way to make up for their loss, but does it have a chance of working?

This is my entry for the Fall/Winter 2021 anthology, ‘An Unconventional Gift’.

Sequel to the 2015 novel Puppy for Sale.

Here we pick up Jensen (Puppy) Stibbings, his family and friends, four months after the events told in the first story. With Greenstone now a distant memory and Puppy's mind maturing fast, he needs to make careful decisions as he navigates his way through a new life.

As we saw previously, drama is never far away from the budding teenager and you can bet it's always 'complicated.' But with loving parents and a protective brother, Puppy might just have the support to rise above the turbulence that often makes up his life.

Follow him once more.
