Everyone - Stories

Keiran, banished from the Elven Realms, faces curious happenings across different worlds.

Ryan isn't a singer so why is he added to the band after they had released their first album as the new up and coming boy band of the year? Jasper is certain this is all a publicity stunt by their manager, why else would someone so inappropriate for the position, get placed in with them? While three members of the band are happy to accept this change, Jasper challenges the manager and when their personal situations end up on headlines creating drama, it becomes clear that they are all being manipulated. Jasper finds himself becoming protective of Ryan and developing feelings he didn’t expect towards the sweet and gentle man.

Events on a small New England college campus, following an exceptional one. Gil Andrus and his husband, Pete Sordan, follow through.

Chapters will be added Monday and Friday, and the book should finish towards the end of September.

Note: this book shares roots and occasionally overlaps with my other book, Quabbin, which is also set in Waldron, Massachusetts, though in a national clothing company. But they're different books. And Don Burris, from The Pendleton Omens, reappears.

In just a week, my life had dramatically changed.

One day a gentleman walked into the restaurant where I worked, and my life was no longer a disaster.

Danny and Brandon's family continues to grow as they deal with new situations.

Reflections of the past, realities of the present, and hopes for the future. These aren't prompts, and anything could wind up here, from poetry to monologues. It's all about words, and the forms they lead us to.

Whatever you read in here,

You were meant to hear.

Do you hear it all, now, in your ear?

Do you hear it all, now, somehow?

Do not at all ask how.

Can you hear me?

Do you see me?

I am not a person.

I am not a Book.

What does that mean?

...Take a look.
