About three and a half years ago I made a new acquaintance who has, in the years that followed, become a friend and been a pretty sweet writing partner. I really feel I've grown not only as a writer, but also as a person, due in part to our friendship. So I just want to say thanks for being you, for...

Naturally, Cane realized a few seconds too late that his big mouth had tripped a wire…like it often did. Even before he saw his lover’s smile wane into a thoughtful, neutral line, he felt the subtle shift in the build of kinetic energy as everything, including the two of them, stilled. It was bound ...

Isaac nodded. He had mixed feelings that he was sorting through in the moment and his eyes met Cane’s as he communicated what he wanted to say, speaking right from the heart. Such complex and lasting relationships should be navigated with care, required charts inked with love and understanding. “I j...

Cane winked at him then, the fleeting flirtation preceding a discrete glissando into the opening chords of a song that turned out to be less a curation of perfectly arranged verses and more a conversation, a confession.. All I wanna be is with you in your arms In our room, living small in a big hous...

It was only when the growl of hunger hollowed out a home in their bellies that the spell was broken and the sea delivered them from one moment into the next: a picturesque lake house surrounded by the verdant flush of an ancient wood, a house they’d made their home through years of blood and sweat a...

Isaac tracked Cane back to the man’s office. Their connection meant one could never drift too far from the other and the trek was easy enough through the gym’s halls. Rather than knock, he drew one of his own knives and angled the point high above his head and, with a little bit of leverage, teased ...

“…class is almost finished with just a few more sessions to hone your skills fore it’s time to perform.” Isaac explained what passed for a graduation ceremony to the small group of senior students assembled in a school yard huddle around him. Wheeler wasn’t big on pomp and circumstance but knew well...

-- He’d been here before. Not quite this exact spot, but in this building, watching the clock, willing time to move faster. It’d been under similar circumstances, too. Back then it was all so very new, the effervescent rush of new relationship energy and its inexorable ability to consume the mind, b...

Good luck on your new adventure! Glad to hear you've recovered and things have settled for you, and I hope you're able to find all the inspiration you need to get the creative juices flowing again.

Rescue by James Bay I found you all alone I came to warm your bones There were twenty million tears in your hands You found me in the dark You came to heal my scars I was slipping, sinking through the sand They say the more you love the harder you fall But I would rather hurt than nothing at all Th...

I nominate Lana Stanton.

“Been workin on something for you.” He reached for the bruised and worn neck of the old hand-me-down guitar propped against his chair. “Don’t go kickin me off the stage right away, neither,” Isaac added with a bit of a laugh and a smile that helped push away the nerves that always fluttered within h...
