Two favourite characters cruise the Pacific

At a high-stakes Easter swim meet, sunshiney GWU swimmer Austin gradually breaks through the icy rivalry of Georgetown star Petr, turning competition into a steamy romance.

I thought this trip to a luxury resort with my five rich, straight high school friends after our first year at college was a rare chance to finally be included. Turns out, they had something very different in mind—and I was about to find out just how far they'd go when there were no girls... and no rules.

Jeff has always looked up to his brother-in-law Sean as the masculine ideal: handsome, capable, and strong.

But when an injury leaves Sean helpless, he needs a right-hand man for everything—even his most basic needs.

We join Jake, a young man who has just graduated College. He wants to backpack through the summer, but his father has other ideas.

Boyfriends Alex and Casey have a lot to be thankful for. Especially, the love that surrounds them and flows between them.

When Alex escapes to sun-soaked Mykonos to recover from burnout, the last thing he expects is a run-in with Luca—his charming college crush with a complicated past. What starts as casual beach banter turns into sizzling chemistry, paddleboard mishaps, and almost-kisses under the stars. But just as romance begins to bloom, Luca’s ex shows up, turning paradise into emotional purgatory. Will Alex risk heartbreak for a love that finally feels real—or walk away from what could’ve been?
A heartwarming, witty vacation romcom about second chances, missed moments, and the one kiss worth waiting for.

When a glamazon in towering heels and her caftan-clad bestie take a “fashion stroll” across a gay beach, chaos, crabs, and bratwurst-related trauma ensue. Heels in the Sand: A Beachside Drag-edy is a hilariously sassy tale of sun, shade, and stilettos, where the only thing higher than the heels is the drama.

In 1969, when I was 13, my parents and I set out on an adventure. We took the California Zephyr from Chicago to San Francisco. My mom refused to fly and there wasn't time to drive during my winter school break. Besides which, highways could be treacherous in the winter. Nothing was going to keep us from seeing my new nephew, but the train was much more than a means of transportation.

This story is autobiographical, but some memories have faded and where necessary, I've embellished things to make the story more complete. Even so, this is an accurate portrayal of an experience that has stayed with me for more than 50 years.

Nicky and Reilly have been dating for a year, and Nicky is taking his boyfriend home over the holiday to meet his parents for the first time.
