Weigh Station (vignette)

“I thought these things were just for trucks?”  Kent pressed his face close to the window as Lee caught his breath.  The parking lot was empty, the broken pavement looking old and abandoned, with patches of copious weeds shooting up through the cracks.  The scrubby growth poppe...

To the Top of the Temple, ch. 2

“Wait…say that again?  You were doing what?”  Tony stopped stroking Matt’s plump pecs, sure that he’d misheard his friend.

The dark-haired jock shrugged and folded his muscled arms behind his head.  “I don’t know, man.  It was weird.  You were there…...

Country Roads...

Some photos from last week's trip.  Maybe Kingsbury Harbor can have a sister city in the mountains? 

Kingsbury Voting Options

Option 1: A traveling magician comes to town, and a bachelor party learns the hard way that his tricks are much more than illusions.

Option 2: Trying to save money, a man builds his new deck out of wood salvaged from a shipwreck, leading to increasingly strange behavior whenever he spends t...

Kingsbury Harbor, ch. 23: Sea Glass

***I haven't had time to finalize all the voting options, so those will be up ASAP, but I didn't want the chapter to sit any longer than it had to.  Thanks everyone! ***

“Come on…are you guys sure,” Hank asked, dragging out the last word as he gave his friends a pleading look. &n...

Kingsbury is on the way!

Hi Everyone,

Haven’t forgotten about Kingsbury. I went out of town last week for a much needed break in the mountains (pictures to come), so I’m running a little behind. It should be up in the next couple days.

Attitude Adjustment

“This must be rough for you,” Derek said, running his hands around the edges of the young stud’s ample pecs.  He gave the sculpted mounds a squeeze, working his thumbs over the firm little nipples before letting go and stepping back to survey the naked man on the table.  He rubbed...

Chantry Hollow (full story)

“Oh, come on.  You don’t actually believe that shit about the Hollow?”  Rhett paused just on the other side of the clearing, his three friends remaining safely behind the wall of pines.  The charred ruins of the old church stood at the smug blonde’s back, looming like a cro...

Observer Effect (vignette)

I know there’s going to be a cost.  I’ve started hearing something tapping at the window from the other side, calling my name in the middle of the night.  One of these times I’m going to pull back the curtain and see the face of my actions catching up with me.  I’m sure it ...

Out of the Closet

*** This was another one that started as a vignette a few months ago.  I had parts of it worked out at the time, but not the whole idea.  Also, don't worry Vignette folks, I haven't forgotten about you.  I've got a bunch of stuff in the pipe, just haven't had the chance to sit down...

Kingsbury Harbor, ch. 22: Fresh Baked

Bruce couldn’t stop smiling.  Everything was finally ready.  The small folding table was filled from edge to edge with his fresh-baked goods, the poster-board sign he’d drawn by hand, listing his very reasonable prices, was hung with care behind him, and he had a full thermos of cof...

Art!

Quick heads up for those of you who aren't already following him - AdultJunkDrawer did a couple fantastic pieces based on To the Top of the Temple, and you should absolutely go check out his work. If you like wh...

To the Top of the Temple, ch. 1

Tony was climbing the steps again.  The towering doors at the top of the ziggurat loomed ahead, split down the middle by a strip of impenetrable darkness as they inched opened.  The intoxicatingly sweet, floral smells of the alien jungle filled his nostrils, sending a pleasant tingle th...

New E-Book

Hi Everyone,

For those of you who are interested, I put up the Climbing the Ladder series as an e-book.  With HB&L turning back up in the new Hashtag stories, it felt like a good time to dust it off (you can also find more about the "B" in HB&L in the story "2020-09-08 13:28:37 +0000 UTC View Post

Johnny Football

*** This is an old vignette from several years ago, so it might look familiar to some of you.  I meant to release it for everyone a while back, and then that plan totally fell off the radar.  With things still being a little hectic on the home front, this felt like a good time.  I ...

Kingsbury Harbor, ch. 21: A Small Change

“Wow.  What was her problem,” Spence grumbled, turning away from the dark-haired woman sauntering in the opposite direction along the beach.  He reached down and adjusted his thick package, consoling the twitching organ with a reassuring squeeze through his trunks.  He’d made...

Kingsbury's On The Way

Hi Everyone,

I haven't forgotten about the next Kingsbury Harbor chapter.  It should hopefully be up in the next day or so.  

Lady Spades

*** This was started as a WIP vignette a few months ago, but it now has a proper ending for everyone to check out. ***

“Finley...have you lost your goddamn mind?”  Colt crossed his arms and leaned against the bathroom door, the towering wall of muscle filling the frame as he watche...

Chantry Hollow (vignette)

*** Quick snippet from a WIP.  This one's gonna be weird. ***

The sound hit them like a wave.  Though they were nowhere near the rotting steeple, the crushing din redlined their hearing.  The way their bodies shook and vibrated, the two young pretty boys might as well have be...

Three Years (!?)

"Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends.  In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well.  It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over.  Gettin...
