CONTEST - Here's a chance to win a copy of DREAMS!

		IT'S CONTEST TIME! In celebration of the release of my Dreams trilogy, now available in trade paperback as well as multiple ebook formats, I am offering a very simple contest for a chance to win a copy of Dreams in the ebook format(s) of your choice! For more information about Dreams visit my website or my page on the GLBT Bookshelf.
		Here's how the contest works: < - - -To the left there is an image of a number in the range from 1 to 100. Currently the privacy settings on that image are set to private, but when the contest ends I will change that to public. The two closest guesses to that number will be the contest winners. Easy as pie. This contest is being publicized on three of my social networking outlets (blogger, livejournal, facebook), and you can leave your guess in the comments on any of the three. One guess per person. It's okay to guess the same number as someone else, ties will simply mean extra winners. Don't bother trying to psychoanalyze me to figure out what number I might have picked, either, because I went to an online random number generator and had it spit me out a number. The contest ends at 12:00 Noon CST on Monday, Nov., 28, 2011. At that time the picture will be revealed and the winners notified. Feel free to share and pass this information on. Good luck!

Dreams is a collection of three consecutively linked stories, each with a different pair of protagonists introduced in the previous story. The original versions of these comprehensively amended and reedited second editions were previously published individually. This volume contains: A Dream Come True, Another Dream, and Dreaming of You.

A Dream Come True:

Mike is thrilled when his old university crush turns up at his door in answer to a roommate advertisement. Wes doesn’t remember Mike at all, or even realize Mike’s gay, but that doesn’t stop Mike from pursuing a determined campaign of seduction. The trouble is, Mike isn’t ready to give up his free and easy lifestyle and settle down with just one man.

Mike isn’t comfortable with public displays of affection. Wes doesn’t like anything resembling the proverbial closet, but Mike’s still buried deep inside one where his family is concerned. Will Wes have the patience to deal with Mike’s issues, or will their dream come true end up a nightmare?

Another Dream:

When a shy, twenty-nine year old virgin erotica writer with a tool belt fetish crosses paths with an outgoing carpenter the fireworks soar. Introverted Larry has an active imagination, and extroverted Marty is just the man to draw Larry out of his shell. Larry makes new friends and faces a jealous rival for Marty’s affections while helping Marty reevaluate an impulsive decision, made twenty years earlier. A scheme is hatched that rewinds the years of Marty’s life and takes the new lovers on a cross-country road trip together. From hot to humorous, their expedition is a journey of personal growth for Larry, an overdue resolution to Marty’s long-ago rash actions, and a trek down a path of self-discovery for both of them.

Larry worries about the motivations of his own feelings, as he tries to gauge Marty’s. Marty is tired of the single life. He’s ready to settle down and has been looking for Mr. Right. Will their personality differences complement each other to make another dream come true, or will Larry’s insecurities keep him from seizing love?

Dreaming of You:

Trevor’s upset when the man he’s been chasing for years chooses another. He’d come to terms with losing Marty, but his hopes had been recently renewed and freshly dashed. While he’s trying to drown his sorrows, the man he considers to be the cause of his distress approaches him.

When Quinn startles Trevor with an insightful revelation, will Trevor be able to put aside their differences and give love another chance?

Moving On - Halloween Themed Story - An Oldie but a Goodie!

Looking for Halloween themed stories? Here's a brief look at a short story I wrote a few years ago titled Moving On. Excerpts and a summary of reviews for all my stories are available on my website.

Brandt's been trying to rebuild his life, but it's been a difficult year. On this special Halloween night, maybe Graeme can help both Brandt and himself move on.

On Halloween, Graeme accompanies the love of his life, Brandt, to the annual costume party. This year, though, Brandt isn't dancing with Graeme, he's dancing with a handsome stranger, and Graeme couldn't be happier. On the most mysterious night of the year Graeme has one chance to give his beloved the best gift of all, and he makes the most of it, from the first dance to the final farewell.

An Excerpt

Graeme watched from across the room as Brandt danced slowly with a nice-looking man decked out in a purple, crushed-velvet pimp costume. There were some wild costumes at the Halloween dance party tonight and Brandt was looking extra hot in a tight sailor boy costume.

Graeme didn’t remember seeing the man Brandt was with before, but he’d taken notice of the guy tonight. He’d watched the purple pimp checking out Brandt and finally working up the nerve to approach Brandt for a dance. The man was clearly on the prowl for a hookup, and if there was one thing Graeme wanted tonight, it was for Brandt to finally get laid again. Brandt really needed to move on with his life.The man had been polite and pleasant. He seemed like a nice guy. Not at all predatory—pimp costume notwithstanding. He’d be a good choice for Brandt tonight. They looked good together.

It had been just over a year since Graeme had left Brandt, and it had been a very hard year on Brandt. Hell, it had been hard on both of them, and if Graeme could fix it, he would, but he didn’t know how.

Brandt had been doing pretty well these past few months, but he still wasn’t getting out like he should. Graeme was glad to see that their friends, Jason and John, had been able to convince Brandt to get out of the house to attend this party with them.

As Graeme watched the couple dance, the purple pimp started putting moves on Brandt, squeezing Brandt’s ass and pressing their hips together. Brandt reacted quickly, placing both hands squarely on the man’s chest and heaving. The man let go immediately.

Shaking his head, Graeme had to stop himself from crossing the floor to try to talk some sense into Brandt. Wouldn't do any good, anyway.

The song ended and Brandt stalked to the edge of the dance floor, looking wretched. The purple pimp watched him go, looking confused as hell. Fuck.

Graeme moved closer to Brandt, wanting to be near former lover. He desperately wished there was something, anything, he could do to help Brandt, but what? He'd already tried everything he could think of.
