“A very many trickster moons ago,” said Tony’s grandfather, “and very, very far away... way past where our real world ends and your imagination begins, things were different than here. There was a proud kingdom that had fallen on darker days.” “The kingdom was known as Iisen, or the Iisendom as it was sometimes called. It was a prosperous and peaceful kingdom, but for years, a cloud had been forming over the land and was worrying the people that lived there.” “People were disappearing... not many, but when they did, it made the people afraid. There were rumors, of course. Rumors of gypsies and monsters in the woods, but no one seemed to know what was happening for sure. And the people of Iisen, the merchants and hostlers and iron mongers and farmers, couldn’t very well hide in their homes and farmhouses. They still had to earn a living. All they could do was hope they weren’t the next to vanish one day.” “But the tale doesn’t really start with that. The tale starts with a thief. A thief who had just been caught and was about to be in very deep trouble...”

Matthew likes his life in Richmond. He has his friends and his softball and his volunteer work. And he has a very good-looking boyfriend, Brian, who he’s been happily dating for over a year now. So what if his friends tend to question just how good his boyfriend is, and so what if Brian tends to have inexplicable mood swings. And so what if Brian seems to invite Matt’s suspicions on occasion. If he just shows a little faith and trust, he’ll appreciate what he has with Brian the way he should. Right? But suddenly, Matt finds himself in a desperate life-or-death situation on a trip overseas, and he realizes just how much he misses home, and Brian. He’s luckily rescued by a team of US Special Forces, only to immediately find out they’re a bunch of bigoted jerks. Worse, a quirk of his situation forces him to spend time with them that he’d rather not. And that’s when he finds out that first impressions can be misleading. When called upon, he steps up when every fiber of his being tells him not to, and discovers something deep inside himself that he didn’t realize was even there. And his life will never be the same. He finds that he can, after all, make some very overdue changes in his own life. What Matt doesn’t realize is that the bond of brotherhood runs both ways. And he winds up changing the lives of several of the men on that Special Forces team as much as they changed his. All it takes is faith and trust.

It’s 1986, and what should have been the greatest summer of Nate Bradford’s life goes sour when his parents suddenly divorce. Now, instead of spending his senior year in his hometown of Austin, Texas, he’s living with his father in Warren, Wyoming, population 2,833 (and Nate thinks that might be a generous estimate). There’s no swimming pool, no tennis team, no mall—not even any MTV. The entire school’s smaller than his graduating class back home, and in a town where the top teen pastimes are sex and drugs, Nate just doesn’t fit in. Then Nate meets Cody Lawrence. Cody’s dirt-poor, from a broken family, and definitely lives on the wrong side of the tracks. Nate’s dad says Cody’s bad news. The other kids say he’s trash. But Nate knows Cody’s a good kid who’s been dealt a lousy hand. In fact, he’s beginning to think his feelings for Cody go beyond friendship. Admitting he might be gay is hard enough, but between small-town prejudices and the growing AIDS epidemic dominating the headlines, a town like Warren, Wyoming, is no place for two young men to fall in love. Word count 90,000; page count: 340 **Review "I was just so engaged with Cody and Nate's story, and though it does put you through the wringer, I finished it with my heart happy and full...I absolutely loved everything about this story... It isn't always easy to read as these guys go through some rough times. But the story is so rewarding, so satisfying at the end that it is worth any bit of heartache along the way. I totally loved this book and highly recommend it to anyone." -- Joyfully Jay ** "An amazing and touching story, that left me feeling the warm and fuzzies!! Highly recommended!!" -- Divine Magazine ** "Emotionally written with a melancholy yet hopeful tone of voice from two lads who come from very different parts of town. We highly recommend this coming of age heartbreaking and beautiful M/M read." -- Totally Booked "This book had me feeling every emotion known to man, and I just couldn't put it down; I still can't let it go....Trailer Trash is easily the best book I've read this year."--Badass Book Reviews

It was Ian's eighteenth birthday, and all that he wanted was to go with his father to the castle town of Gabbs. Unfortunately, the annual sacrifice to the jinn, a hideous tentacle monster, would be taking place that night, postponing their quest to seek council with the king. Forced to stay in an inn until the ritual was over, Ian left his father to go exploring the city. Little did he know that the jinn would be much more interested in him than the virgin sacrifices it had been presented with.Approximate length: 7,800 wordsContent Warning: This book contains extreme M/Monster sexual activity, including: cock milking, dubious consent, and deep anal probing. For adults only!Excerpt: Something poked at my panting lips, and I opened my eyes to the sight of two giant testicles hanging in front of me. If there had ever been any question about the monster's gender, it was completely wiped away in that moment. The phallus that sought entry into my mouth was bigger than any I had ever seen, and bulging with thick deep purple veins. If it weren't from me gasping, I would have locked it out entirely, but it forced its way inside, grazing past my teeth and pressing my tongue down. I coughed around it, feeling overwhelmed. Once inside, the jinn began thrusting, and its heavy sapphire balls slapped against my face. In objection, I bit down, hard. For a moment, the monster paused, and I screamed silently as I could feel the tentacles in my ass spreading it wider than I could stand. Tears leaked from the corners of my eyes, falling into my short brown hair. After a moment of excruciating pain, the stretching stopped, and the jinn continued thrusting from both ends. I realized that I had been punished for biting down, and any thoughts of doing it again were quickly erased.
