My dedication to the contributors of the Gay Authors Spring Anthology

This is the first book in a series of satires with strong gay themes. The characters are zany and the situations are hilarious.

The continued adventures in sex and friendship, online and off, of Alan Damschroeder, a Cedar Rapids, Iowa, high school teacher.

Alan says, "Sometimes I think it takes a triumvirate of saints to keep me out of trouble."

These stories are written as exchanged e-mails and reading this way is an acquired taste. But the first book of this series, Web Guys, has a small, loyal following, so here's the second.

Inspired by an idea my girlfriend and I are growing, The Cheerleader and the Art Geek is a short collection of romantic stories based off of different aspects of our relationship. Each is titled with one of the songs we love, and when put all together, map a love story as beautiful as a rainbow on a sunny day. So, take a look and dive into the realm of romance and complete, utterly divine affection!

Follow the lives of various supervillains as they attempt to live their best life in The Windy City! Disappearance, a ragdoll-like thief who has eyes on jewelry.

Card Tales was written to a challenge to help me get over my writer's block. It is a series of interwoven tales with a single main character, Cardanniel, who gets into a bunch of trouble. At the top of each tale will be a list of required elements. These were part of the challenge. Please note there are continuity errors, and I am aware of them.
