After the Thunder (vignette)

**** Trying a different style with this one.  Let me know what you think! ****

There he goes again.  Mister Thunder, chasing some maniacal mad scientist.  Can’t even take a walk in this city without worrying about whether or not you’re going to run into a superhero light show.  Every day there’s another story about an epic battle of good versus evil, usu...

Fir Hollow, ch. 8: Team Players

“I’m just sayin’…how are they even gonna know if we stayed here all night,” Wyatt asked.  The nervous brunette eyed the decaying room around them, wishing he’d brought more than a flashlight.

“Dude, don’t start,” Paul sighed, reaching over to tousle the other man’s hair.  The dark-skinned stud was just as nervous, but he was doing a better job of hiding it. 2021-03-01 19:44:50 +0000 UTC View Post

In Good Hands

“What the fuck are you doing here?!”  Bruce’s pimpled face was a mix of crimson embarrassment and purple rage as he glared at Peter.  The thin, chestnut-haired man seemed equally baffled.  The sharp, pointed features of his face made his wide eyes that much larger as he gawked back and forth between Bruce on one side, and Clark’s hulking frame on the other.  The blon...

Chapter’s On The Way!

Hi everyone,

I didn’t get a chance to finish the next Fir Hollow today, so it’ll be up ASAP in the next couple days. I appreciate your patience!

Eye for an Eye

*** This was posted as a vignette last year, but I never got around to polishing it up and posting it for everyone.  I finally had a chance to give it a fresh edit, so here we go! ***

“Which one, oh which one will it be?” The Man in the Green Suit sang, waving a slender finger between the two stunned young men.  Chase thought he was bringing an eager blonde for him ...

Masc4...(vignette)

If Brad still had a dick he would have been rock hard.  As it was, the unfamiliar heat from between his legs was rapidly spreading to encompass the whole of his athletic frame.  He didn’t understand it.  Terrifying alterations aside, Sam had seen him naked so many times it no longer even registered when it happened.  Being caught in nothing but a pair of panties with his f...

(the very start of this was posted as a vignette a few weeks ago, and I finally had a chance to finish it up.  Enjoy!) 

“YOU logged in, after all.  No one forced you to come here,” the voice said.  “The terms are spelled out very clearly.  We’re not liable because YOU didn’t read them.   Now, for $6,500 you can choose from one of our e...

Fir Hollow, ch. 7: Custom Blend

The gentle tinkling of the door chime pulled Bruce’s attention from the book on the counter.  He looked up and raised an eyebrow at the broad, burly bear lumbering inside.  “Jake!  Didn’t think I’d see you again so soon…don’t tell me you need more incense?  You were just here last week!”

The beefy wall of muscle and hair shook his head, his bearded cheeks...

New Ebook

Hi Everyone,

For those of you who are interested, there's a new ebook up on Amazon.  This is a collection of stories (Down in the Valley, all four chapters of Hashtag, Gaining ...

Feeling Blue

“Man…you really let that guy have it,” Doug whistled, shaking his head.

“Look what he did to my coat,” Britt fumed, brushing the cement dust from his perfectly tailored blazer.  As usual, the young brunette was immaculately dressed.  His athletic, precision-sculpted frame was expertly accentuated by his fitted suit, the crimson tie nestled just right between his chisel...

For those at the Take Me Home tier, the updated link was posted earlier this week, so let me know if you didn't see it.  

As always, thanks for readin...

Dollhouse (vignette)

Todd was starting to like it.  It was hard for the formerly straight stud to admit, but if he was being honest, the money now ranked second.  It always felt good; that was never the issue.  The technology that made his body constantly malleable did the same for his attractions, easily swapping from women to men.  The problem was his pride.  Having spent most of his life...

Picture a New Dynamic

Tobias stared up at the ceiling, his wiry torso covered in a sticky coating.  He could already hear the clanging of Jason’s weights echoing throughout the spacious penthouse, a sound he listened to for several minutes before remembering that it was all wrong.  The large, disheveled bed, the luxurious apartment, the excessive cash in his bank account, and, most importantly, his burly...

Fir Hollow, ch. 6: T-A-P

“I don’t know how you do it,” Beth sighed, marveling at the level of detail on the small sculpture.  The clay figure was roughly a foot tall, its warped proportions looking incredibly lifelike despite their odd size.  “The sculpting, I mean.  Of course I don’t know you do the next part,” she said with a nervous laugh.

“Lots of practice.  With both,” Lyn...

“YOU logged in, after all.  No one forced you to come here,” the voice said.  “The terms are spelled out very clearly.  We’re not liable because YOU didn’t read them.   Now, for $6,500 you can choose from one of our existing packages, or for $10,000 you can customize.  If, as you said, you’re unable to afford either of those options, we can open things ...

By Any Other Name

Jeff and Trevor smelled the wall long before they saw it.  The deep, floral scent was a beacon, cutting through the damp miasma that coated the rest of the swampy forest.  It pulled the two young explorers along by their noses, the rosy aroma growing so strong they could practically see it floating in the air like a wispy trail of pink smoke.  They clambered over twisting roots, ...

Pretty (full text)

*** I posted a chunk of this as a vignette the other week while it was in process, and I finally had a chance to give it a proper beginning and ending.  Enjoy! ***

Reeve’s heart thundered in his chest, the frantic pulse beating loud against his ears.  He worried that the rapid-fire throb was like a blaring horn against the unnatural stillness of the nighted forest. ...

Fir Hollow, ch. 5 Voting Options

Option 1: A man finds a unique guitar that uses bodies as fuel when played, leaving him, or the people around him, smaller than when he started.

Option 2: A local pottery studio comes across some special clay that lets them sculpt and reshape bodies the way they do with the rest of their ceramics.

Option 3: An obscure religious order uses a secluded swimming hole up in the hills to ...

Fir Hollow, ch. 5: The Lot

*** Voting options to come!  Didn't have as much time to get them together this weekend as I'd hoped.***

Mickey cursed under his breath as the car sped past.  It disappeared around a bend in the road, ignoring his outstretched thumb entirely.  He was exhausted.  He’d been hoofing it through the darkness for miles, his lungs burning as he trudged up the mou...

Two Cents

“I’m just saying…what kinda dick steals from a donation basket?”  Jayden glared at Todd, his normally charming expression a stern mask.  He knew his friend could be impulsive, and that the fit, handsome jock was used to getting his way and doing whatever he wanted, but stealing from a church crossed a line.

The defensive, dark-haired hunk dropped his head back on his sho...

Pretty (vignette)

*** Here we go!  This is a snippet of the first story that leans heavily into Fantasy territory.  Taking a swing at some Orcish themes with this one, but hopefully everyone will find something to enjoy in it.  Full story should be done soon! ***

Gaining Followers

Wes couldn’t stop grinning.  He’d only posted a single video since downloading the plugin for his Tik-Tak account, but already his followers had tripled.  “Damn…should’ve done this a long time ago,” he said to himself, the number of views rising exponentially.  He was a little embarrassed at watching himself move around shirtless on screen, but that had more to do wit...

Fir Hollow, ch. 4: Right on Time

“How are you not freaking out right now?!”  Zack clutched the sides of his head, his toned arms flexing.  A fresh flood of crimson washed over his sharp features when he looked down and saw how the pose only further accentuated what he desperately wished to conceal.  Below the bottom of his too-short t-shirt, along the trail of golden hair that bisected his firm stomach, hung...

2020 Recap

Hi Everyone,

What a weird, weird year.  Usually “weird” is something I reserve as a compliment, but in this case I mean it in the most literal sense.  I hope it landed as gently as possible for all of you.  I’m not going to say “happy new year” or anything about plans and goals for 2021 because that feels like a fool’s errand at this point, but we can at least r...

All Wrapped Up (vignette)

Brandon didn’t see the symbols on the underside of the bow.  More specifically, he saw them; he just didn’t pay any attention.  That wasn’t out of the ordinary for the impulsive jock, much like the prank he was about to pull.  When he’d asked the woman at the store to wrap the empty box for him, he didn’t know that she’d overheard his plan, or that she’d decided to ...

New Ebook

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're all enjoying (or at least making it through) your respective holidays.  For anyone who's interested, here's the latest bit of food for the Amazon algorithm.  I had to excavate the crap out of this one to clean it up, but it's finally been polished and given a fancy cover.  No new plot points or anything, so if you're happy with the version on here...

I Heard You're Getting a Special Present

“Holy shit…that’s really him, isn’t it?”  Mason slapped Ray on the arm and nodded over at the lean, well-dressed man in a corner booth. With his sharp features, impeccable hair, and the pair of fit young men boxing him in on either side, the handsome figure looked out of place with the rest of the casual pub crowd.

“Well fuck me,” Ray spat, tightening his grip on his be...

You Otter Know

“Started itching yet?  Things should be getting under way pretty soon.”

Justin stared at the text, his hand shaking while the other scratched at his toned pecs.  His whole torso had been hit with an insatiable prickling sensation just minutes before the message came through.  He rubbed at his abs and chest through his t-shirt, the most concentrated area of the sudden ti...
