Half A Cowboy – A Glimpse Behind the Story

Half a cowboy features a character who uses a cane largely for balance.  Its because of an injury he sustained years earlier.  He came to me because of two friends of mine who use canes to get around.  They are dear friends and amazing people.  And when they shared some of their stories with me about how difficult it can be to navigate the world with a cane, it made me angry.  Very angry.  A lot of the things we take for granted become harder if you need a cane.  For example you only have one hand free.  Or when … Continued

You Can Teach and Old Dog New Tricks

I can’t try to tell you the number of times that I have gotten requests for stories with older, more mature characters.  Many romances contain stories of young guys trying to find their way in the world.  That is a very valid subject because  learning who you are and accepting that you’re different is part of being gay.  But sometimes its nice to break form that and take a journey with someone that life has put through its wash machine and is just trying to figure a way forward.   In this case we have a successful man who desperately … Continued

A Potential Sticky Situation

  Eyes Only For Me is the result of some out of the ordinary feelings that I have had for a close friend.  I think I need to start this post by saying that I never came close to acting on these feelings because Dominic is so dear to me.  And I never would.  Dominic is the center of my life and I would never jeopardize that for anything.  But I was spending a lot of time at the gym and then afterwards at dinner and breakfast with him.  I should probably tell you that this guy is handsome, like … Continued

Backward – The Cover

Marty Pfeifer is the model who posed for the cover of Backward.  Once I had finished the manuscript, I asked Jesse and Dirk if they knew of someone who would be interested in posing for the cover of Backward.  I asked for a larger man who was older.  I didn’t want a young kid.  They told me about Marty and sent me a few pictures.  As you can see by the finished work, he’s a handsome man and was perfect to portray Harry on the cover of Backward.  Joey Flyfoto agreed to shoot the images as he did for Jesse … Continued

Trapped In Oz – An Excerpt

Trapped in Oz is the final story in this novella series.  I have thought long and hard and in the future I plan to concentrate my writing efforts on the novel length work.  They give me more time and space to explore my characters and for you to fall in love with them.  So with the exception of holiday and daily dose titles, this is my last novella.  I really hope you enjoy it.  There are plenty of stories already in the works and I’m working on more!     Martin Long has plans and dreams, but they are derailed … Continued

Dirk Caber – On Being A Cover Model

Today we have a special guest on the blog.  Dirk Caber talks about being a cover model.  I for one am very grateful to him for agreeing to grace the cover of Upside Down.  He was easy to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed it.   My partner Jesse was so delighted to be approached to be the cover model for the first novel, Inside Out, and I know he was just thrilled when he found out Andrew was hoping I might be on the cover if Upside Down.  Me, I’m an artist by day anyway, a musician and actor, … Continued

Andrew and Dominic – Our Story – The Proposal

Dominic and I dated throughout the spring and summer.  I met his friends and he met mine.  In October it was a glorious day, warm for the month and we decided to take a walk.  Dominic had just bought a home on the south side of Milwaukee and I helped him with the improvements.  One of our favorite places to walk was Lake Park.  So we drove and parked at one and walked all the way through, over the bridges and along the rambling path.  Lake Park was designed by the same man who did Central Park in New York … Continued

Electrochemistry

With the release of Electrochemistry I thought I would give you all a brief excerpt from the story.  I love this opening because everyone should know or experience someone like Jordy.   Science major Brad Jergens notices Jordy Fleming at school and at the grocery store where he works, but with the heat Jordy’s boyfriend emits, Brad doesn’t think he stands a chance. When Brad’s parents drag him along on a cruise, he and Jordy literally crash into each other, and the chemistry between them sends sparks flying. Unfortunately, as the weeklong cruise nears an end too quickly, Brad’s left … Continued
