Out at Last: A WET DREAM ON ELM STREET!

Joing the coming out party; "A Wet Dream on Elm Street," my first title with Shadowfire Press, drops TODAY! This is a true coming-out party with equal blends of romance and spice; the basics:

Tony, a former football jock--married to his high school cheerleader sweetheart for almost ten years--is spending Halloween with his best friend Scott while his wife is out of town in Seattle. The two buddies--best friends since the fourth grade--plan to spend the night eating pizza, drinking beer, and watching Scottie's bootleg DVD horror films. But when Tony borrows a handful of films from Scott's apartment and finds a hardcore gay porn flick in one of the Freddy Krueger cases, it's all he can do to contain his anger, his sense of betrayal, his shattered trust in his best friend... Or the hard-on that the film is giving him. His attraction to male-male sex sends him overboard with guilt and anger. But that's nothing compared to his growing realization that he might also be sexually attracted to his best friend, and that maybe he married the wrong sweetheart from high school.


The story, at a lengthy (for a short story) 9700 words, is yours for only $2.50 by going to the link for Shadowfire above. I hope you will get it, and enjoy it as much as I did writing it; had never done a Halloween-themed story before, and this one, with the way it ends especially, made me kind of proud.

SOLD!

Shadowfire Press presented me with the challenge of trying my hand at another Christmas story - and I guess it paid off, as they just took "The Last Noel" from me. After "A Christmas Caroler" (available via eXcessica Publishing on December 14th), plus my story from Torquere, "Deck the Balls," I thought this boy was out of Christmas stories for good; had no idea I had maybe one of the most romantic stories I've ever written still in me.

"The Last Noel" tells the tale of 33-year-old advertising executive Ryan, an ex-minor league baseball player so far unlucky in love. Not for lack of trying, mind you; his first love, at sixteen, left note only quite a scar, but also a "curse" of sorts that Ryan (even if only in the back of his mind) is sure has kept him from meeting the right guy in the seventeen years since.

Which makes things (and Ryan) all the more hard when, one evening in a gay club on the north side of Chicago called Pride of Chucky's, Ryan spots the most beautiful young god he's ever seen in his life. Instantly captivated and intimidated, Ryan is soon filled in on some 411 about the young man by the bar's owner, Chuck - and one factoid he's presented with convinces him the curse he's under has struck again.

That said, Ryan can't shake the 22-year-old club kid from his head; not that day, or the next. So soon he gives in, and embarks on one last try for the real deal - love at last, at Christmastime, when miracles are supposed to happen.

The story drops on December 4th, as part of the new "Cinnamon Sticks" Christmas series from Shadowfire - and if one tale of sex and love isn't enough, check out another personal, very sentimental holiday tale for me, "A Christmas Caroler," available from eXcessica, come (no pun intended) December 14th.

Ho-ho-ho! And no, I'm not talking about my last three dates ...

PJ'S POOL PARTY cover art/release date!

Summer comes early in 2010, with the March 1 release date of one my favorite tales, "PJ's Pool Party" from eXcessica! In this story, 22-year-old Mexican boy-toy Jaime leaves Philadelphia and his much-older lover to return to his hometown of Houston, Texas to start over again. A last-minute decision, Jaime's not proud to have had to resort to stripping in a gay club in order to get the money together - but back in Texas, he finds it all worth it when he lands a great room-to-rent situation in a beautiful home with an even more beautiful, laid-back lady ...

A lady who is never home, and whose 19-year-old son PJ is coming home for the weekend, driving down from college in Austin. Jaime and PJ become instant friends - especially when Jaime sees how incredibly hot the tall, dark-haired athletic straight boy is - and when the boys spend the afternoon hanging out by the pool, PJ reveals the fight he's had with his girlfriend ... the fight that led him to driving home alone ... and Jaime instantly begins fantasizing about replacing the girlfriend, sexually, for the weekend.

And when innocent horseplay in the pool leads to a very tight Speedo barely containing Jaime's excitement, the lines between gay and straight become blurred under the hot Texas sun ... and the real games begin.

Make sure and check back for a link to the excerpt or order info - and be prepared to sweat the winter away on March 1st, when "PJ's Pool Party" drops ... hopefully into your inbox!
