English in outlook, my stories cover a range of genres. Discovering a new life or a new love is one unifying theme. Another is the age range of my characters; I write across generations, exploring their different yet intertwined queer experiences. Stay for a quick snack, or a full meal - it's your choice.

Parker Owens writes poetry about the natural world mathematics, and heartache. His stories speak of loneliness, longing and love. Follow him on the back roads to places you've never stopped to visit.

PatrickOBrien tries to bring a steady variety to his stories. He's a comic book, sci-fi, and horror nerd at heart, and you'll find many many references to his geek-itude within. Whether you're looking for a romance story, a comedic story, an action story, a horror story, or a blend of it all, you just might find something you like inside.

I love writing angsty slash where characters overcome terrible things to find their happiness. I love happy endings. Science fiction and fantasy are my favorites, but I will work on other areas if I get an idea I like.
I find a lot of enjoyment in details of a world and characters, things that make it interesting and real to me. How does this thing affect that thing? If this psychic ability, mythological creature, sci fi thingamajig existed, how would it integrate into the real world? What might be the unexpected effects? I love that stuff.
I also enjoy how characters can grow and change with experiences and how their quirks and flaws affect their behavior and interaction with others.

I was born in New York just after WWII when, because of the Depression and the war, the city seemed very little changed from the 1920s. I spent a lot of time listening to my grandparents, hearing what the area was like from when they were born in the 1880s, so it was like living in multiple time periods. I grew up in the suburbs, spent the next 20 years freelancing a design career in the Midwest and Northeast then followed that career to Los Angeles.
