Works-In-Progress

These are listed in the order that I plan to publish them. Projects can move up or down the list depending on shifts in focus.

The excerpts are comprised of the first 150 or so words.

Paradigm Shift — mm. science fiction. mpreg. A/B/O dynamics. Gregor Tierney/Dylan Park. Gregor has been hiding his status as a Third for his entire life, but he has finally been discovered.

EXCERPT: The State had instituted mandatory blood tests. He’d known it would happen sooner or later, but he’d let himself believe it was going to be more later.

Dread pooled in his belly. There wasn’t a single doubt in his mind that he was going to be busted.

After twenty-eight years of playing Two, he was about to be outed as a Third. The idea horrified him.

“Whatcha staring at?”

Gregor nearly jumped out of his skin at the sudden hand on his shoulder. “Geez, Marcus, way to give me a heart attack.”

Marcus chuckled. “Way to be dramatic. Seriously, what are you looking at?”

Gregor pointed at the notice on his ePad screen. “They’re forcing everyone to go to the Public Health Stations and give blood. They want to find any unregistered Thirds.”

“Good,” Marcus said. “They shouldn’t be out on the loose because what if something happens? We could be facing extinction; there’s no room for them to be obstinate. We need them too much.”

“You don’t think it’s wrong to force them to breed?”

The Panic Pure — mm. suspense/thriller. serial killer. Daniel Worth/Marshal Newman. No sex, but a cannibalistic serial killer and a slow-moving romance.

EXCERPT: Danny woke up every morning to an alarm that sounded like birds singing. His therapist had said the sound would be soothing; mostly he found it annoying. He just didn’t want to cause a fuss and throw it away.

He figured he would wait until it was so annoying that he couldn’t handle it any longer. Then he’d fling it with much delight into the trash can.

After lying in bed for five minutes, gathering himself together, he padded into the bathroom where he carefully shaved, swallowed his meds, then urinated.

He spread toothpaste on his toothbrush and climbed into the shower to clean his teeth, wash his hair, and scrub his body under the hottest water he could stand with antibacterial soap. By the time he stepped out, his skin was flushed pink and he could be fairly assured that he was germ free.

Tuesday Night — mm. Sunfire/Teen Steel. The opening scene contains a het sex scene that’s integral to the plot, but after that it’s an mm romance.

EXCERPT: Sometimes the loneliness ate away at him like a cancer. It made him writhe and scream and more than anything he wanted everything to be okay again. But that so rarely happened in real life.

He cried himself to sleep on the nights like those, depressed and gray and so horrible it made him shake in misery, his whole body aching with loss. With every breath he took, he got farther and farther away from his center, becoming something else.

Her name beat the sound of his heart: Ashley. The only girl he had or would ever love.

When he got too melodramatic, Sunfire would toss something at him and tell him to “Get over it. I know it’s hard, but she’s gone and you’re still here. You need to live.”

And it would be like someone had hit a switch deep inside and he would come back alive again. He’d been given the permission he needed to get past the death of her.

Slipping Through the Cracks: Rescue Position — pre-mm. Franz Caulder is on his own and adapting to life on a new Earth, but a horrible crime has drawn him into danger.

EXCERPT: Life was strange. Even when it didn’t feel like it should, it just kept moving forward, carrying him along with it.

Franz swiped some Chapstick across his lips before leaving his apartment, making sure the door was locked behind him. He jogged down the cement stairs and forced himself to ignore the group of teenagers loitering at the bottom. Amy Klein in 4B always had friends hanging around, kids with hair dyed bright colors and clothes that screamed “Attitude!”

He mostly tried to avoid them, though they seemed to think right outside her apartment door was a good place to smoke cigarettes and the occasional joint. Her mother worked late and missed most of what her daughter did. It was none of his business until they started leaving cigarette butts all over the place, and at least Amy made sure her friends cleaned up after themselves.

“Hey Mr. Benoit,” she called cheerily, waving a clove cigarette at him.

“You know those things will kill you, right?” He focused on her, excluding the rest of her hoodlum friends. He could feel them staring at the scars on his face and it made his ears burn hot.

Faizel 02 — mm. urban fantasy. vampires. Faizel/Charlemagne. Charlemagne is keeping Faizel a secret from the other vampires, but it’s only a matter of time until they are discovered. And punished.

EXCERPT: Sometimes Ewing wondered if they had invited a devil into their midst. Because there wasn’t a doubt in his mind that Charlemagne was possessed.

And the devil was named Faizel. Charlemagne’s darling love.

Ewing personally thought of Faizel as a booty call gone wrong, though he would never say it aloud. He valued his life too much.

Charlemagne wanted to keep Faizel secret, and Ewing was willing to go along with it. Because honestly, how could he even explain someone like Faizel? The guy scared the ever living fuck out of him, and that was no lie.

“Are you certain that this is the way you want to do things?” Deacon asked in her “I’m a completely hard as nails Law Officer” voice.

Ewing fought to keep still where he knelt on the hard wood floor along with the other low level vampires. It was pretty boring, but he wasn’t one to battle the status quo. He didn’t want to get tortured and killed.

True Love’s Kiss — gen. Philip never planned on being anyone’s prince, but after waking to “true love’s kiss,” he has to face the “princess” he never wanted.

EXCERPT: He woke sluggishly to the sensation of someone kissing him. He blinked open heavy-lidded eyes to find a stranger’s face close in front of his, kissing his lips with fervent passion and a lick of tongue.

Weakly, Philip brought his hands up on her shoulders and pushed her away. She squeaked and sat back on his thighs, looking down at him with all the delight of a new car owner.

“It worked,” she breathed, a smile spreading across her wide mouth. She had a tumble of golden curls framing her oval face and he recognized that she was pretty. A pretty kissing stranger that was straddling him on a bed that wasn’t his own.

Something is very wrong here, he thought.

He opened his mouth, but only a dry rasp escaped. It hurt his throat.

“Sh.” She pressed a finger against his lower lip. “You’re not well enough yet. I’ll go get you some water. My prince,” she added with a giggle.

Leviathan — fantasy. Taeyon falls into a mountain spring and finds himself deep beneath an ocean with a strange leviathan.

EXCERPT: Taeyon had been traveling for what felt like days when he found the beautiful glade, the grass lush and green, inviting him to stop. He dropped his pack next to a large tree with overhanging branches ornamented with lacy white puffs and wandered around the area. He breathed deeply, drawing in the scent of flowers and the ripe purple berries on the overgrown bushes framing the glade. And there in the center of it all a peaceful spring bubbled up from the depths of the earth, smelling of mountain and sky, the water caught in the rough bowl shape of smoothed rocks.

There was no thought involved. He just kicked off his boots and tugged off his socks, then sunk his bare feet into the tall grass, wriggling his toes. Already he felt somewhat refreshed, though he had far to go before he would be completely at ease.

Doggy Style — mm. Zachery Branagh/Sean Amend. While sorting a shipment of antiques, Zack finds himself transformed into a dog.

EXCERPT: Zack sighed as he pushed open the door and strode into Faraday-Branagh Antiques.

“Hey, boss, you weren’t gone that long,” Lily called cheerfully. She didn’t look like the kind of young woman that would work in an antique shop. Not with the blue streaks in her unnaturally red hair or her rather punk rock fashion sense. She seemed much too cute and perky to hang around dusty old things all day.

And which am I? he wondered. Dusty, old, or both?

“I was just getting a cup of coffee,” he said, holding it up. “Has Faraday called?”

She shrugged. “Not as such.”

Zack growled and headed toward the back room. “That ass. I guess I’ll be sorting the shipment by myself. Let me know if you need me.”

Lily shot him a salute, her bracelets jangling wildly. “Will do, boss man.”

Woke Up In Vegas — mm. Riley Curtain/Brent Caldwell. An accidental Vegas wedding, and two strangers find their lives entwined.

EXCERPT: They lay sprawled across the tangled sheets, their faces turned from each other but their dark hair meshing on the pillow. Morning light edged in around the gaps in the curtains and the only sound in the room was their quiet breathing. The second double-bed across from theirs was still made up, a miniature pink bowling bag the only thing to disturb the white-on-white comforter.

The hotel room door slammed open with a panicked “Oh holy shit fuck!” from the woman that burst in. Her blond hair was in wild disarray around her shoulders and her tiny black dress was missing one strap and looked as though it had been hastily pulled down over her head. There were still traces of vivid red lipstick around her mouth and her mascara had been smeared to the point of raccoonishness.

Harsh Buzz — mm. urban fantasy. vampires. Marmalee/Ward. Marmalee is to be crowned Prince-Elect, but there are those working against him.

EXCERPT: There was something to be said about that moment between Waking and Sleep when it felt as though the world was rushing back into his lungs. The word he might use is “Disappointing.”

To feel life take over his dreaming mind and slip back out of the memories he imagined he’d once lived, it made reality all that much more painful. All those beautiful moments withering and falling away, dying petals falling in a flurry of bright and dark.

Then he is himself alone. And suddenly that’s not so bad with awareness rushing to fill the emptiness. This is his life, his world. No longer a slave to the passions of others, he is the master here and no one can deny that.

Marmalee rose from tousled sheets, stretching his arms high above him and feeling the smooth press of muscles against his skin.

Fiends — mm. urban fantasy. The demon Teablossom comes to Earth to seduce a human but is seduced instead.

EXCERPT: Henry Lerner was a fool. A good-looking fool, but still a fool.

The fiend, Teablossom, rolled his eyes as he watched the human fumble for a napkin. The coffee had spilled everywhere and people were turning from all corners of the restaurant to watch the show.

The rather no-nonsense looking blond waitress hurried across the room with a rag in her hand. She didn’t look exactly thrilled, but she didn’t seem angry either. “Here, sir. I’ve got that.”

“I am so sorry. I don’t know what happened, but I really am sorry,” Henry babbled. The color was high in his cheeks and he didn’t seem to know what to do with his hands.

“That’s all right,” the waitress said with more than a touch of impatience. “I’ll clean this right up, no harm done. Why don’t you sit back down and I’ll bring you a new cup in a moment?”

Spores! — mm. superhero. sci-fi. Captain Victorious/Bonecrusher. Alien spores cause a horrifying result to two of the male members of the League of Superheroes. Basically a sex-pollen made them do it story.

EXCERPT: The call out was fairly routine. A madman threatening to destroy a big chunk of the city with some kind of death machine. It was only after they were in the air and headed toward the site that they received word that it was Major Mayhem and he had some kind of bio-agent he’d stolen from a government lab and might have been tinkering with.

“Great,” Bonecrusher growled, “those eggheads couldn’t think to say anything before we left. Did we even pack the hazmat suits this time?”

Lady Arcana snorted and shot Captain Victorious a pair of nearly lethal side eyes. “Of course not,” she said in her faux-Russian accent, “our dear leader had us leave without the full complement of gear.”

Vic rolled his eyes behind the lenses of his mask. “Yes, it’s all my fault. I really want to see us being liquefied by some kind of bio-weapon. It’s all part of my most stupid leadership plan ever.”

Freeform Jazz — superhero. The story of GlenDal’s origin. How he became a magical girl and a member of the League of Superheroes.

EXCERPT: After a dinner of cold canned raviolis he found in the back of the cupboard, Jazz curled up on his bed and tried to sleep. He wished there was some TV to watch, but the electricity had been switched off earlier in the week and he didn’t have the money to turn it back on.

He shoved his face into his pillow and held his breath as long as he could before he had to lift his face with a gasp. He rolled onto his back and stared sightlessly at the ceiling.

The house felt alien around him. The familiar had become something abandoned and other with the death of his family. The empty rooms echoed hollowly, somehow seeming to know they would never be filled again. Not until the house was taken away from him next month and a new owner took his place.
