After quitting his job, Billie Watts hits all the food festivals he can as he drives across the country. When he finally reaches Stoney Brook, Maine, he’s excited to find he’s there just in time to try one of the lobster rolls he’s heard so much about. The bright neon yellow food truck with a giant red lobster on top looks like the perfect place to try it.
Lance Karl is as ready as he can be for the start of the three-day Tall Ships Festival and hopes to sell enough lobster rolls out of his food truck to make a good start towards owning a restaurant. The day begins cold and misty, and a text from his nephew saying he can’t help him is not the perfect start he’d hoped for.
When a green-eyed stranger interrupts his frantic morning, Lance doesn’t realize meeting Billie will not only change his day, but maybe even the rest of his life. Two strangers, drawn together over their work ethic, and sealing the deal over delicious lobster rolls. They could just be the perfect match. A small-town MM Vacation romance.

Summary: When Poppy picks up a woman on the run, her life changes forever. Vanya, sex trafficking victim now escaped, finds refuge and friendship with Poppy. Their friendship blooms on the little farmstead, with the animals and the quilting projects. Theirs is a quiet life, a temporary situation turning into something more permanent, as Vanya finds the space to heal. Her protective, intense feelings are just friendship...right? Poppy has never been interested in men, and she didn't think she was interested in women, either. Perfectly content to live her life without romantic relationships, it's a surprise to her to find feelings bubbling up for Vanya. Vanya grew up in a culture where lesbianism was unimaginable, unacceptable. She always assumed she'd find a husband she could stand, but lately, all she wants is to be close to Poppy. But if these feelings she's getting for Poppy are what people mean when they talk about falling in love...maybe she's not as straight as she thought. Is their friendship turning into something more? Can Poppy and Vanya find a happy ending? Genre: asexual, lesbian Heat level: sweet 26,000 words

Summary: I grew up Grant because Ulysses was too dangerous a name to call a kid in the 1950s. Conformity ruled, and Ulysses S. Grant's reputation was in the toilet. My given name Ulysses, however, ended up redining me as I was coming out in the early 1970s, altering my relationship with the world. On my father's side, an Alsatian immigrant to Colonial New York and, on my mother's, a Puritan dissenter seeking freedom on the Mayflower, added romance to my bland Leave it to Beaver life in Syracuse, New York in the 1960s. My world was a snapshot of prosperous, suburban, Post-War America for a baker's dozen of years, until two of my siblings died and I realized, at sixteen, that I was gay. The distillation of the lives of all those people who preceded me is the story of a baby boomer and a child of Stonewall; a Yalie who marched for gay pride in the 1970s; survived the AIDS crisis in the 1980s; adopted children in the 1990s; and finally married his Jewish partner of thirty-eight years in the twenty-first century. The people who made me who I am today are always on my mind. They danced on the edge of the Gilded Age after the Civil War, and helped define the American dream for three centuries. Among them were farmers, leather tanners, inventors, slaveowners, abolitionists, soldiers, industrialists, politicians, lawyers, a Nobel Prize winner, a president, and even a princess. They're all there in me. My story is their story, yet entirely my own.
