Poems written when I was 22 years old.

This story is only for those who enjoy medieval, magical fantasy starring boys and teens. It is from The Book of Heroes, the source for “The Translator,” “The Paladin,” and other stories. It is a simple story in which the love between a squire and a young cleric becomes a political liability—because the squire is also a prince.

The Squire’s Tale is the final episode in Tales Along the Way, a trilogy of stories told by three business men traveling together on a long-haul flight. As the title suggests, this is a tale about a young gay man who is drawn into a dangerous adventure and an international intrigue. This is a admittedly a complex story, with 25 scenes spread over nine chapters. The story moves between two continents, such that simultaneous events have to be described more than once from different points of view. There is also a flashback chapter, which is clearly identified. I hope I have made it clear enough where and when each scene takes place.
