Some days go wrong

Some days don’t go at all.

I endured years of experiments at the hands of sadistic aliens. Barely eighteen, I've been rescued from the tiny cell and the years of enforced sensory deprivation. Lost, with no family or friends I can remember or would turn to if I could, I'm alone in the universe... except for the humans who saved me. The Captain. Zeke. Doc. A crew of misfit Rangers, a ragtag bunch operating just this side of legal--and often on the other side when circumstances are right--are not the kind to help someone “like me” recover. Captain wants to send me away, but I can't leave. No one else can touch me.

He's it for me, the strength I can't function without.

Taking advantage of the power vacuum created by the collapse of the Soviet Union, underworld figures made a grab for legitimate businesses. However, the emerging Russian Mafia was not satisfied with those enterprises and extended their tendrils to embrace other ventures. Drugs, kiddie porn, prostitution, and slavery operations flourished until they tangled with the wrong beings.

My responses to prompts that intrigue me...

Luke McBride has it all. He's a smart, popular jock, and his school is super cool about him being openly gay. But his relationship with hiding-in-the-closet Jeremy isn't going anywhere other than the bedroom, and when a new boy joins the school and the cheer leading squad, Luke starts to realise that maybe he might need more than just good sex in order to be happy.

Denial is a lonely path. Lack of honesty is divisive. And self-loathing is a destructive force that's difficult to overcome. 'Dissonance' is a tale that centers around Ben Mansfield and Travis Cooper: two characters from very different backgrounds who, after a chance meeting one night, must learn to face the discordant elements that have fractured their lives and prevented them from finding love and acceptance - especially within themselves.

Tony's whole life changes when he finally accepts himself. He keeps looking for love, but maybe it's closer than he thinks.

Marshall and Lee have an unusual relationship. Lee may be the Dom, but Marshall gives as good as he takes.

Sequel to Dreams of Humanity, the story picks up a handful of years after and focuses on Garret Atrix's search for his son and nephew.
