Family Is What You Make It

Tinnean

Synopsis

A "what if" tale set in the Spy vs. Spook/Mann of My Dreams universe!
Kyle Winchester is a genius when it comes to foreign languages. He has no trouble learning them and often picks up dialects simply for fun. This makes him an ideal candidate for certain agencies in the intelligence community, most notably the CIA and the WBIS. While these two agencies fight it out between them, all an unknowing Kyle wants to do is discover more about the mysterious Frenchman he met while in New York -- and possibly fall in love with him.
Alain Boucher, a championship-level card player, discovers playing cards with the wrong man could get him imprisoned and deported. As a result, he's pressured into doing the occasional job for the CIA. One of these jobs is to convince -- by any means -- a certain young man that becoming a member of the CIA is exactly what his future should hold. The problem is Alain has come to like Kyle, and he isn't so certain what the CIA wants is what's best for the young man. However, events beyond his control see Kyle agreeing to work for the Company.
The reality of his new job isn't as rosy as Kyle was promised, but when a covert operative is outed, leaving her assets to fend for themselves, Kyle has to make a decision: stay with an organization that seems to have no regard for its people, or resign. Things become even more complicated when he's offered a position at the WBIS by the enigmatic Mark Vincent. Kyle has to wonder ... should he accept this job? And if he does, how will that affect his relationship with Alain, the man who'd set out to woo him for ulterior motives but then wound up falling in love with him?

Lightning has shaped his entire life and he's driven to study it, to understand it, so heading to Kakadu in the middle of the storm season is a logical thing to do. After all, the Top End is the lightning capital of Australia. 
Tully wasn't sure how a week at his remote bunker with an academic type would pan out. And Jeremiah didn't expect much from the storm-chasing cowboy who volunteered to take him. 
But both men know all too well that when opposites attract, lightning strikes.

Double Edge

Adam Carpenter

Summer is winding down. For Jimmy McSwain, it's been a quiet couple of months, leaving this apprentice private investigator with little to do. Be careful what you wish for.
Jimmy is asked by his boss to accompany his wife Beatrice to a fancy art gallery opening down in Manhattan's Soho district. The drama begins when the artist who goes by the name Rico pulls a disappearing act on the night of his big debut, leaving the owners of the Barrister Gallery stunned, not to mention the hoity-toity snobs expecting to meet the man behind the "Beauty at Death" show. 
The owners claim Rico has been kidnapped. Jimmy thinks their reaction is a bit extreme. Nevertheless, he agrees to take the case, even as he begins to suspect he hasn't been told the whole story. Especially when the Barrister owners say no cops. 
With a growing sense of menace, Jimmy finds himself doubting his ability to solve the puzzling case. How does he find the truth when all he's heard is lies? He fears someone could end up hurt -- or worse, dead -- on his watch.
