Cliché List:

Tavern? check.

Bar wench? check.

Pirates? check.

Sex? check.

Magic? check.

Strange names of places that mean absolutely nothing to anyone but me? of course.

And it all works awesomely.

Every Wine-Flavored Exhale has been published. A fantasy short story of about 3000 words with a M/F pairing. It can be found below and under the Short Story page.

Yes, I admit that I have recently watched the new 300 which is where the made-up Greek style names came from in this story.

I’d been planning on writing a story about a drunkard because I wanted to have a little fun with having a character be inappropriate and completely unabashed by that inappropriateness. However, since the story is mostly light-hearted I can’t honestly say that the characters are the best examples of being three-dimensional. That doesn’t mean their story isn’t enjoyable though.

Next Sunday, Mar 30th: Saltwater Conjurer (fantasy, short story, m/m) – There’s only one man he must prove himself to in order to join their crew.

Kiss. Mouth. Red. has been published. A fantasy short story of about 4700 words with a young M/M pairing. It can be found below and under the Short Story page.

This story started out meaning to only be mini-length. I hadn’t thought the idea had much meat to it so I hadn’t intended on writing too much in the way of romance, deciding I’d just do a short erotic piece.

However, the plan to simply focus on an erotic piece went right out the window because, for some reason, Miles was nervous. Then I had to determine why he was nervous and why his nerves even mattered. That led to a more three-dimensional character, which led to a cute romantic vibe showing up within the eroticism in the story.

Despite him being the reason this story exploded in word length, I actually really like Miles and the way the story turned out. Wish all my stories flowed out as easily as this one.

Side Note: Coming up with perfect titles for my pieces is one of my favorite parts of the creation process. On rare occasions, I know the title partway through writing the story. Most of the time it’s the last thing I do because I go through an entire brainstorming session just for the title.

I’m only mentioning this because this is one of those times when I feel as if I’ve completely nailed the title in all three important aspects–connecting with the story, marking the genre and intriguing the reader (of course that third one is the most subjective, but I think it succeeded).

Water Play has been published. A fantasy short story with the same M/F pairing as in Thawing Off (Bradd and Cerci). About 3300 words. It can be found below and under the Short Story page.

This story was written a few years ago, completed shortly after I’d finished Thawing Off, the first story featuring Witch Ales’ not-quite-obedient subordinates. I don’t have any huge plans for the couple, but they were fun to write both times and I might revisit them at some point to see how they’re faring.

Oh, and in case you were worried about the implications the title suggests…don’t.

Edited Dec. 28, 2014: Like Dark Algae has been removed and is now only an excerpt. The entire Siren Song novella will be available in January 2015.

Like Dark Algae has been published. A fantasy short story with a M/M pairing. It can be found below and under the Short Story page.

I figured it was time to give some love to the barren M/M list of stories.

Edited May 12th: But Flesh Among the Storm has been removed. You can find it in the collection Nothing But Seaweed & Other Stories coming May 29th, 2015.

But Flesh Among the Storm has been published. A fantasy mini of about 1100 words. It can be found below and on the Minis Page.

Recently, I stumbled across a document with simply the words “midnight lover” written at the top when I was organizing a few things. The rest of the document was entirely blank. Obviously, I’d intended some sort of story but never actually got around to even writing a few phrases that would jog my memory.

Since I thought it was silly to have an entire document for two words, I quickly penned out a couple of paragraphs using the phrase as a prompt. The next day I was still thinking about it, so I sat down and truly started writing on that story and didn’t stop until it was done.

Love Match has been published. A fantasy short story of about 2800 words. It can be found below and on the Short Stories Page.

The story itself came out of Valentine’s Day (surprise, surprise) and features Cupid and Discord with other vague references to Greek and Roman mythology. I wouldn’t call it terribly original, but then most borrowing from mythology can’t exactly be termed original.

When I started it I actually didn’t intend for Discord to show up at all. She came in all on her own, probably annoyed I’d picked Eros as the POV character.

Thawing Off has been published. A fantasy short story with a M/F pairing. About 3600 words. It can be found below and under the Short Story page.
