The "Gone From Daylight" experiments continue by tapping into the "Secret Life Of Billy Chase" series!

Jarrett Ray and Greer Spaulding are best friends and lovers, but they are also archeology majors at the University of Arizona. When they get a chance to go on a dig with one of their professors, it turns into an experience they won’t soon forget and possibly one the world won’t soon forget either.

After a few days’ stay on a remote and bleak island in the sea, a writer finds that the boat he arrived in has been torn from its mooring by a storm. None of the locals will take him to the mainland, afraid to brave the waters after the storm, and as he struggles to make his way home, it seems more and more as if something doesn’t want him to leave.

Christopher Cordes was never able to celebrate Halloween because his mom thought it was devil worship. She would tell her son the story about several boys who'd gone missing on Halloween when she was younger, so when Chris was older, he decided to find out if that story was true. He started his own investigation, but what did he find? Was the story true, or had she just made it all up. Chris was shocked by what he discovered.

This was an experiment from some years ago to be a 'round robin' story, where different authors stepped up to add their own creative flair for each chapter. However, seeing as that's no longer the plan, I'm rebooting the series so I can take it to completion myself! It's a "GFD" spinoff that I really thought needed to be told. I hope you guys like it!

A vampire wakes up in the midst of a fierce battle...badly injured, and suffering from a spell of selective memory loss! Who is he? What was he doing there? And what will happen if he CAN'T get his memories back? Or even worse...

The two men have an immediate connection, but as their attraction evolves into feelings neither can deny, will they have the strength to take a leap of faith together?
