The phone rang. I opened my eyes, disoriented for a few seconds. Then I remembered where I was. I was at Tad's, sleeping with him in his bed. The phone rang again, and Tad sleepily answered it. "Hello?" he said. "Oh. Hi Chris. What's up? Oh. How bad is she? Is she on a ventilator? Okay. All right. I'll be there as soon as I can. Bye." I glanced at the cloc...
Thank you all for your comments and critiques on this story. You've helped me bring each chapter into the light. I look forward to reading your thoughts.

The voice l...
Well readers, finally here is the next installment. I want to thank everyone who has stuck with me this far and hopefully will continue to do so.

"Well guys and gals, the time has almost come. This is the penultimate chapter of A Boy Who...For Rayne, the time for vacillating has ended and the time to make a decision has arrived. (I just used the word 'time' three times in the last two sentences, didn't I? Time to get a new thesaurus, I think.) Will Rayne make the right choice? Will he ever be happy? W...
Some of my stories are true, some have elements of truth, and some are pure fiction. This one falls into the true category and I haven't decided how much to admit yet. I keep a couple of the hookup sites on my hidden web browser. The thoughts of hooking up ebb and flow and occasionally I use the mail feature to communicate to all the guys who send smiles, w...
Three weeks later . . . Lily had been as good as her word, the press conference hadn't happened and suddenly the papers had been awash with stories about the 'minor' celebrity's out of control behaviour in clubs around the world and Theo had been left in peace to recover; well there were a couple of reporters from local papers still hanging around the hosp...
