Beware of Groom'thulu. Ethan won't let anything spoil his wedding to love-of-his-life Caleb -- not the complications of a Pagan wedding, not the snarky attitudes of his relatives. But when tragedy strikes Orlando mere weeks before the wedding day, Ethan is reminded how unkind the world can be. Portland, Oregon, is a far more open-minded place than Florida, but there's nothing to stop a crazed conservative maniac from hearing about the gayest Paganest wedding of the year and making that a target. Despite his fears, Ethan knows he must press on, because it's Pride season, damnit, and no one is putting Groom'thulu back in the closet. Note: This short story was originally published in the charity collection, Love Is Proud.Ver libro

It's hard being middle-aged, single, and gay. Egan McFadden, well-to-do, generally happy, has just turned fifty, and he's all alone in the world.

Then there's Yuyi Morris, who runs the LGBTQ+ center where Egan volunteers. He's smart, driven, good-looking, and the kind of person who makes you want to be a better human being, just because. Egan and Yuyi have always gotten along. They have similar passions and outlooks on life. It could be that they are a perfect match on paper. Would it be crazy if they tried for more than friendship?Ver libro
Sequel to Order in the Court Corey Nguyen definitely doesn't need antidepressants. For a girl who went through a tragedy last year, everything seems to be coming together for Corey. She has everything a college sophomore could ask for: a loving partner, a couple of cool new friends, a great relationship with her parents ... and she even managed to keep her grades up while testifying in a murder trial last semester! She should be happy and carefree with that weight off her shoulders! So why does she always feel like the world is about to end? In this final installment of Corey's story, she must face up to the fact that stories don't end when you get the guy (or girl) and promise to live happily ever after. After a summer living in a bubble with her new beau, Corey discovers that the world has kept turning for everyone else. The people around her are moving forward without her and if she doesn't catch up quickly, she's going to risk losing everything -- her friends, her relationship, or even somebody's life. NOTE: This book mentions suicide, gun violence, and mental health crises.Ver libro
Punk Rock Superstar Collapses In Front Of Record Crowd Hendrix Cavanaugh Rushed To Hospital In Mexico City Cavanaugh Leaves Hospital AMA I've loved Hendrix Cavanaugh since his high school mascot days, and seeing him grind himself down like this has been driving me up a wall. Now that he's collapsed on stage, I can't watch from the sidelines for a second longer. I know I'm not his type—I'm a network security specialist who wears expensive suits and alphabetizes his spice drawer. In contrast, Hendrix wears all black, including his eyeliner and nail polish, and I doubt he's so much as alphabetized his contacts list. Swooping in to save the day won't make him notice me. I know that. But he has to come off the road, and I have to be the one to take care of him, or I'm going to go out of my mind. That said, sharing a cabin with him while he recovers might be the dumbest thing I've ever done in my entire life.Ver libro
These three short stories are bonus chapters for Ellie Thomas' An Unlikely Alliance trilogy. The Regency-era stories are from the point of view of each of the three men in the throuple, Humphrey, Abe, and Clem. In "The Spare Man," modest gentleman Humphrey Atkinson reflects on recent events and the tumultuous effect Abe and Clem have had on his previously quiet life. Former hard man Abe Pengelly is in the spotlight for "Privilege and Preferment," firstly in trouble with his mother after a drunken night out and then getting the better of an arrogant young sprig at the military headquarters of Horse Guards, which is Abe's new and respectable workplace. Finally, Clem Metcalfe, secretary-turned-MA-student, has his turn in "Journey's End," where he agonizes over whether a term spent in Oxford, away from his lovers in London, has weakened their romantic bond.Ver libro
