Love Means… Patience Releases Tonight

At midnight Eastern time tonight, the next story in the farm series, Love Means… Patience releases.  In honor of that I thought I would post an sneak peek excerpt. I really hope you enjoy it!  This story is intense and emotional.  I loved writing it and I hope you enjoy reading it. Years after his discharge from the Marines under “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Cody Culver lives in a PTSD-induced world all his own. On a mission, under misconceptions that Geoff and Eli are the enemy, Cody breaks into their farmhouse but is quickly brought back to his senses by … Continued

Our Weddding – Take 1

In honor of marriage equality on Pennsylvania, I wanted to share a brief story.  In 1996 Dominic and I had a commitment ceremony.  We both figured it was as close to a wedding as either of us were going to get in our lifetimes.  We had 60 guests and the ceremony was held in the back yard of our house and our neighbors.  Both Dominic’s and my parents attended as did our brothers and sisters.  The support we received was unbelievable.  We had coworkers and even my boss at the time and his wife.  It was a lovely summer day … Continued

Andrew and Dominic – Our Story – Our First Date

I have to start this section off with a little bit about myself in order for it to make sense.  See I’m lactose intolerant.  Like Leonard form my favorite television show, feed me ice cream and I can rocket to the moon.  So anyway, after our initial dinner party meeting, Dominic waited a few days to call me.  (He told me later he didn’t want to look desperate by calling too soon.)  He suggested we go out for desert.  At the time Dominic wasn’t driving, so I met him at his apartment.  I was expecting that he’d made something for … Continued

Andrew and Dominic – Our Story – How We Met

I’ve been asked, so I’ve decided to tell Dominic’s and my love story.  Dominic and I met at a friends’ dinner party.  The entire evening was set up so the two of us could meet.  Jim and Paul are a pair of Yentas and adore playing matchmaker.  As far as I know Dominic and I are their only success.  Anyway, the evening of the party was the coldest night of the year, it had to be twenty below zero, but the dinner party was fun, the conversation lively, and interesting.  I remember thinking that Dominic was really cute.  He’d a little over … Continued

My Garden

Over the years one of the things I have done at each house Dominic and I have owned is garden.  At the house we currently have, there is a side garden tucked between two retaining walls.  When we moved in, I designed the layout of the plants, cleared the entire space, and planted all of the shrubs, perennials and even added statuary and a fountain. That was only the beginning.  Dominic and I spent many weekends cutting out overgrown shrubs, small trees, overgrown bushes.  Then we replanted the front yard and finally the back.  For the three years it took … Continued

Indigo’s confidence is shot after an injury ended his … Continued
