coming of age - Stories

Random things I have written - VERY random!

A short one telling the story of how someone might discover they’re gay.

Poems from when I was 22 and 23.

Part II contains love poems for Jimmy, the real-life Dean of my novel "The Round People"

Schools out for the summer! Our heroes from Boyfriends for Christmas are back, and what a difference six months makes.

They are about to take part in Initiation Weekend where they'll make new friends, take part in a local tradition and grow up a little.

A series of poems exploring friendship.

Alpha men and their Omega male partners live, work, play, have sex, and raise their children together. When one of those children fails to present as either an Alpha or Omega, the beliefs of their happy life begin to be challenged. This story is an original work but is inspired by the characters and actors on the popular paranormal CW show Supernatural (2005-2020). Knowledge of the show is not required to understand the story.

A delinquent sneaks out of his home to go shoplifting.

A story of what might have been if only I had known then what I know now. . .

Characters:

Dan, 15 years old, confused about his sexuality.
Dad, 40 years old, more understanding and compassionate than most dads of that era.
Joseph, Dan’s friend, same age, perhaps more aware of his sexuality than Dan.

There is so much wishful thinking in this story. I wish every gay/straight/bisexual/confused/questioning young person, male or female, could have this kind of understanding and support.
