I've written a lot, and you'll find much of it here. Poems, short stories, series, as well as new stories every week. Most have a gay theme, but not all of them. Some are emotional, some are exploratory, some are funny, some are scary and some are gory. Some stories have varying degrees of sexual content between males, while some have nothing to do with sex. Some deal with death and loss, others joy and hope. Some might not seem to deal with anything at all. Anything rated-X is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. If you're under eighteen, go find some videos or something elsewhere, or stick to the material not rated-X.

Some were written while I was in high school and college from notes and even my personal journal. Some were written within the last few years, others are fairly new, like the True First Time Tales which are a collection of stories that readers, friends, and acquaintances have told me that are the true tales of their first gay sexual encounters.

There's also the books I've written. The Circulatim Trilogy has a pretty good fanbase. It's not for everyone, being over a million words (thousands of pages) long. It's full of emotions and conflicts, and quite a few sexual situations. It comes in a gay-youth oriented version and an adult-oriented version. There are a couple spin-offs to Alex's story, as well as a small selection of varying content, from the sweetly sublime to the truly horrible. And one that even mixes them both. You can see these and others just a bit further down this page, or you can go here.

I have found solace and release in writing throughout my life, and was most prolific when I was a teen and young adult. Once work arrived, and survival on one's own, writing became a scarce outlet. From time to time I've found myself with some free time over a span, and spent it doing some writing. Now I manage a bit more since it is so fast and easy on computers.

I hope you find something here to enjoy! I welcome tips, thoughts, ideas, and critiques, or just a hello. Click the EMAIL icons in the top of the page or along the right side.

So have a look around and find what you want, or if not, good journey, be nice, and have fun!

I know there are pages that mess with IE. But pretty much only IE, so suffer. Most other browsers, pads and phones don't have the same issues and I'm not going to overhaul every page just to satisfy Microsoft.
