The Circulatim Trilogy
333,000 words / 450 pages
Two weeks in the life of Alex as he turns sixteen, discovering life, love, loss, death, and recovery.
Alex is turning sixteen, and going to high school is difficult enough without
it being one of Chicago's most affluent and prestigious schools. And being one
of the 'lessers' only makes it harder. So do the facts that he's a brainy dork
and he's gay.
After losing Toby to illness and death over the previous summer,
Alex is unsure and afraid - what's the point of falling in love if it's only
going to be taken away by an uncaring God?
His best friend knows that Alex
is gay, but none of his other friends do, especially not the one that has now
stolen Alex's heart.
And now Toby returns, in a way. Alex isn't sure if
he's going insane, or if there is more to life and death than he ever suspected.
A very special gift on his birthday leads him to discover just how much more
there really is. That gift leads to events that will change the lives of Alex,
his family, and his friends.
They will all learn that death is always near,
and that those who have passed on aren't always far away.

Book Two: The Circle2
380,000 words / 500 pages
The next month passes, and it
changes Alex's life forever. Things aren't always simple or easy.
Alex recuperates
and returns to school. A school that knows that he is gay, and that he had "almost"
died in a fire. His very best friend is acting strangely, and keeping secrets
from him for the first time. His other best friend is now his lover, but it
doesn't fit either of them well. Alex's circle of friends seems to be shrinking,
and even his favorite teacher now treats him differently.
Everything was
different.
And the nightmares...
Surprising acquaintances vie for his
time and lead him into a strange circle of friends, and back into a hobby he
had given up. A hobby that raises a ghost from the past only recently laid to
rest.
The week of final exams arrives and Alex finds himself barely keeping
up with current lessons. Distractions like Erich, and other old friends as well,
take up his time, as well as new ones, like Kevin and the gang, and David. And
Alex wasn't sure he could do what they expected him to do.
Torn apart from
the familiar support of the Circle, moving in a strange circle of new friends,
he is stunned to come face to face with an even older ghost than Toby.
How
much more could he handle?

Book Three: The Circle3
495,000 words / 600 pages
The changes and chaos in Alex's life continue in the conclusion of the Circulatim Trilogy.
Things begin returning to normal for Alex. Or, settling into a new normal.
A new normal that is unlike the old normal. It isn't as comfortable, and things
keep changing, but what choice does he have?
He has come to deal with the
loss of Toby, and has accepted that there is more after this life than simple
death, and accepted that he is not done meeting with Toby yet, either.
The
band brings music back to his life, along with both the pain of loss and the
joy of playing, and bringing new friends and a measure of fame. With the twins,
it's becoming comfortable and familiar, but the new element of David makes it
a confusing and ever-changing thing as well, and keeps Alex off his balance
and guessing at what he should do. And now the band expects Alex to step up
and shine.
His circles of friends at school have changed somewhat, but are
becoming a new normal, and somewhat comfortable. But the new situation with
Erich keeps Alex off his balance there, as well. Throw in the situation with
Trey, who dredges up one of the worst moments of his life, and Alex is at a
loss, feeling worried, scared, and even more confused at school.
Now other
students are coming out from the shadows, seeking advice and support from Alex.
And other students are seeking out Alex, but for other reasons, though also
having to do with his sexuality and his fame, but they aren't seeking advice
or support.
And yet another ghost arises from his past from before Toby and
Trey, increasing the chaos and uncertainty in his life. And possibly being 'the
one' Toby prophesied about.
Complications arise nearly daily, in every group
of friends he has. School, the band, even his home life.
To make things even
more complicated, unanswered questions and concerns from over the past weeks
come calling, without resolutions.
Struggling to find himself, or at least,
someplace he can be himself, and someone to be that person with, Alex is left
in a whirlwind of change and chaos.
How much can he possibly handle? Are there
any answers? Can he help others find their own answers? Will he even be able
to survive long enough to find those answers? And will any of them provide anything
like what he thinks he wants, or needs?

Confession
Of A Chicken Rancher
For a while, eery year, I did a Halloween story, usually pretty scary and gory. But, I was told that even my darkest stories were still full of cute and cuddly. For 2014, I went into a much darker place.
WARNING: This is an extremely graphic tale of a serial child-abductor and
molester. No holds barred, no punches pulled. This novel contains extremely
graphic descriptions of homosexual child-child sexual activity, child abduction,
homosexual adult-child sexual exploitation, torture, and murder.
BANNED
at Smashwords and the Amazon Kindle Store. It almost got all my books banned
at those places. No one else will publish it. I'm not proud of that..
This is the story of a child that knows he is different, and the monster
he becomes.
When a young boy, he realized his differences early. His intense
intelligence allowed him to become adept at manipulating his emotionally distant
parents, his naive younger brother, and the few of his peers that he allowed
to be his friends. An intelligence uninhibited by guilt or empathy.
During
adolescence, he accepted his homosexuality as another aspect of his superiority,
like his intelligence and his ability to see the intentions and lies of others.
But he didn't take into account his short temper, or his rages.
Soon, he
finds himself with blood on his hands, and no remorse. In fact, he found a thrill
and power he hadn't expected, or even knew existed. This, and his growing sexuality,
leads to more blood, and soon, his life is a series of plans and actions that
would horrify his parents, his little brother, and his remaining friends.
As he moves through his teen years, he develops his skills, and feeds his growing
appetite for sex, conquest, and power. His fellow students have no idea of the
danger they court by teasing the small, weak boy - though some find out, but
far too late.
As an adult, he finds he still prefers young boys in his bed,
which leads to more plans, and more blood.
Soon, he meets others who share
his taste for boys, and is forced into procuring boys for a very powerful and
secretive man. The money is good, and the perks are rewarding, and with no guilt,
he finds himself living the life he dreamed of.
But an unexpected development
with a young boy leads to emotions he's never felt before. When his young friend
is endangered, he finds himself on the other side of a child abduction. He must
turn his intelligence and abilities to saving a boy, and exacting revenge.
Kharma is a patient creature, and in the end, it will come.
Contains explicit sexual content involving minors,
making it unavailable at Amazon or Smashwords.

Jay
Gets Schooled
Rated-X - Gay Novella
Jay is a geek. With his curly, sandy-blond hair,

Now starting college, he's still
shy, but is considering coming out. The best he has done so far is to walk past
a LGBT meeting. There are cute guys everywhere, teasing him with their attractiveness.
And his roommate is a popular jock, just the kind of guy who made fun of him
all his life.
He's expecting college to be torture.
And it's going to
be! Just not the kind of torture he's expecting!
