Synopsis

'I'm awake. I'm alive. Everything's real and I love you.'
Lin, an astronaut, speeds towards a distant planet. He's on a pioneering solo mission to create a new home for humankind.
His only human contact is an exchange of voice messages with his lover, Silas, back on Earth. But thanks to the laws of relativity, Silas is ageing so much faster than Lin. Days for the astronaut will be decades for the lover left behind.
As disaster befalls the spacecraft and planet Earth falls apart, Silas and Lin's love is tested to the limit.
Timothy X Atack's DELAY is a love story. A suspenseful, heartwrenching yet hopeful queer sci-fi stage play about saying what you mean and saying goodbye. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2025.
Disponible depuis: 26/06/2025.
Longueur d'impression: 88 pages.

    He's a monster with sharp teeth, but I'm the snake he won't see coming.... 
    Tormented. Lethal. Dead inside.There is only one reason Miguel became the bodyguard of a cartel boss’ son. So that one day, he can take revenge and put a bullet between his father’s eyes. To do that, he needs to keep his secrets close and play a double game with the outrageous Nero Moreno. 
    And there has never been a more infuriating demon of a man than Nero. From his filed teeth and green hair to the gaudy gold necklaces and a diamond-studded AK-47, he is narco excess personified, and everything Miguel despises. The fact that Nero hits on Miguel every chance he gets is just another burden, because Miguel decided long ago that there is no room for love in his black heart. 
    Slutty. Deadly. Lives to spite the world. No one refuses Nero Moreno. When he sets his sights on a man, sooner or later, his mark surrenders. With the endless buffet of flesh available to him, he shouldn’t care about rejection, but every time his insanely hot bodyguard gives him the cold shoulder, Nero is more set on seduction. He can see a spark of interest behind the dead black eyes. What does Miguel hide under his tattooed skin and expressionless face? Why won’t he let Nero touch him? Is his heart really made of stone, or does it hold a soul gentler than Miguel would like to admit? Nero will not rest until he finds out. 
    When their goals collide, blood follows bullets, and it turns out nothing is as it seems. 
    Gritty, dark, and intense, Love Among Reptiles is a dark enemies-to-lovers M/M romance standalone novel set in the world of cartels. Prepare for heated arguments, slow burn pining, and scorching hot, emotional, explicit scenes.

    Espen Urso would rather stay inside and enjoy a nice, sweet cake than be out in the worst storm of the year. But there's a group of alpha shifters trespassing, and he needs to defend his territory and keep the people in his village safe. A group of wolf shifters he can scare off, but when he realizes they've hurt a defenseless little bird, he loses his patience.
    Arvid Rai is having a bad day. He's an omega on the run, with a group of alphas on his tail. If there hadn't been a storm, he could have easily flown away before the stupid wolves got their hands on him, or the angry bear noticed he was in his territory. But there is a storm, and the idiot who grabbed him broke his wing, so now he can't fly anywhere. Still, he deems it best to stay with the growly bear rather than having the other alphas fight over him. 
    Espen has never believed in the myth of omegas, and it isn't until he takes Arvid in he realizes how much trouble he'll be in when shifters from near and far learn he has one in his home. Will he be able to keep Arvid safe from other shifters? Is it even possible to defend his territory with an omega in it?

    Sequel to Call Me Church
    Johnny Smith's luck has been bad from the moment the Stock Market crashed and he'd been forced to leave an exclusive boarding school, and he sees no reason to believe it will ever change. But then he meets Church Chetwood, a dashing, devil-may-care director of motion pictures, and his life is turned topsy-turvy when Chetwood takes him along on what the man promises will be the adventure of a lifetime. Johnny doesn't care, as long as he's with his Mr. Chetwood. 
    The year before, Church had hired Captain Johansen to take him to the mysterious island of Iwi Po'o on the tramp steamer August Moon. There he'd found and captured a sabretooth tiger and brought the animal back to the States. "Chetwood's Kitty," so dubbed by the press, is the reason he has to leave New York so precipitously -- people had died and the law is after him. The only bright spot is the kid he'd come across in a saloon. Church thinks he's had the best idea of his life when he decides to take Johnny along with him to the South Seas. He and Captain Johansen plan to make a living transporting goods from one island to another, and they have every intention of avoiding Iwi Po'o.
    But a treacherous stowaway has plans to take the August Moon for himself, and convinces the men to mutiny. Johnny, Church, the skipper, the ship's cook, and the wireless operator, accompanied by the little girl Johnny had rescued from prostitution, find themselves in a lifeboat, with Iwi Po'o the only spot of land. The last time Church was on this island, twelve men lost their lives to what lived there. Will Johnny, Church, and their friends somehow manage to make it our alive this time?
