This story is autobiographical in nature, but I have made some modifications to protect the identities of those included in it. All the names have been changed, and in some cases things such as gender, locations, and sometimes familial compositions have been altered.

All that being said, this is MY truth, and it's time I released it so that I'm free to create from a place other than brokenness and sadness.

Cocky firefighter Logan O'Donoghue is a total hothead. And that’s precisely why Aiden Kashima, a young culinary student and aspiring pastry chef, can’t stand him. But after a devastating fire destroys his apartment, Aiden finds himself taking up a bed in Logan’s fire station.

MetaEndings is the 7th book (of 8) of the MetaWolf series; a polarizing, sexist, homophobic and twisted story in the M/M wolf shifter genre. Treachery reaches a new level, vampires employ a new level of trickery, the US Army intervenes and cancer threatens to kill all wolf shifters; making a Meta trip on his power and failings alike. It is a 'straight' continuation of MetaProphecies and requires the knowledge of the first 6 MetaBooks and the MetaPrompts until #72 to be appreciated.

Peter is a sweet highschool teen, who seems to have all the friends to keep up the appearances and avoid the bullying, but he's actually very lonely (I know how it feels) but that's about to change.

Rigby, impossibly innocent, swaps suffocating middle-class New Zealand for love and liberation in nineteen-sixties London.

Ben and Colin are comfortably in each other's lives, but the path of true love is never an easy one, and a mistake throws Ben's loyalties to the wind. Not only that, but the mystery behind the deaths of Denny and the rent boys remains unsolved. Carter only had a list of hits. Were Colin a different person he might leave things well alone. But the thing about sleeping dogs is that some people can never let them lie.

Stepping off the bus from school, and clasping my boyfriend Kyle’s hand, I was unaware that my life was soon to change dramatically, while being distracted by Kyle, I didn’t notice that my stepfather had just driven past.
