Summary: Stories tell of great fire-breathing beasts large as castles, fierce and deadly, capable of magicks that no human can match. The Kingdom of Kentaine once allied itself with the dragons of old, but eventually, the dragons were lost to time and fell into legend. Sir Gawain, First Knight of the Realm, is tasked by his older sister the Queen to travel to the edges of their kingdom, where a beast is flaming villagers and has the locals ready to form a mob and hunt it down themselves. His mission is to find the dragon, stop the violence, and do what he needs to maintain the peace. His journey puts him in the heart of a confrontation with the dragon, but instead of saving the villagers, it is the dragon that needs rescuing. Zephyr, a fire dragon and an escaped slave, needs protection, time to heal, and a chance at a life full of hope. Gawain can do no less than offer his sword, his shield, and his heart. Evil is hunting Zephyr, and it will not stop until it has reclaimed its prize. Beyond the legends lies the truth, and love, like fire, consumes everything it touches.

Summary: It’s 1985, but different.... Frank Hope is a troubled high school senior. Being gay in a small Texas town in the eighties is hard enough, but Frank’s also fighting to win back his ex-boyfriend, trying to graduate while hating school, and struggling to care for his sick mom. Despite his cynical nature, he tries to remain, well, hopeful. Everything he desires seems beyond his reach—until a newfound ability promises financial success and prestige. But success always comes with a price. What is Frank willing to sacrifice? Kasimir is—humans would call Kasimir a demon. Kasimir’s people refer to themselves as the Eternals, who are engaged in a centuries’ long conflict with the mortals from another world. But Kasimir, sensitive and idealistic, can’t hate humans because he fell in love with a human boy named Frank while watching him through an interdimensional window when they were children. Now, as a priest scholar specializing in the study of humans, he’s set on finding his old crush. However, his boy has grown into something feared by all beings of the Eternal Realm. Taking place in an alternative 1985 where demon essence fuels everything from mopeds to the space shuttle, this story of star-crossed lovers combines elements of fantasy and dystopian genres with gay romance while weaving together themes of surviving past trauma, breaking obsessions, and the transformative power of love.

Summary: This is the second book in the Vasari Streams series. Laredo Dia and Jude Forest have been in love for a very long time. It is obvious to everyone else but them, at least on the surface. Over the painfully long years their attraction and fondness for each other has grown to a near obsession as they can’t stand to be without each other, even for a short time; but still quickly end up constantly bickering. Following another brief disagreement they were forced to arrive separately at the Vasari Castle, Italy, to celebrate Carlo and Wes’ fated soulmate union. Shortly after being welcomed another argument soon began when Laredo spotted Jude talking to Vi. This time Violet Vasari had enough, and steps right in, magically freezing them both, then proceeded to discover a lifechanging event, long suspected by her. Days later, the party moved over to Italus Scottsdale, home of the Bart Magnus coven, to continue with another surprise celebration. Without warning a strange satchel comes to light that contains mysterious items involving the ancient Dia witch family. This unexpected satchel normally would only involve female members of the dynastic Dia witches, but this time is different. They have been responsible for a secret past and current devotion to the god Dionysus cult, who is now demanding revenge for an intolerable insult. Ages have past until the appointed time set by the eternal Fates, to right this terrible wrong. That time is now. As the legend goes, a magical cup was stolen from Dionysus thousands of years ago according to common knowledge, allowing him to be made vulnerable and later forced into an enchanted slumber. The cup must be located and returned to Dionysus to free him from his intolerable predicament, a responsibility now held by the Dia witch coven alpha. Laredo finds that much to his dismay he and Jude are on the hook to perform this dangerous request and are obligated without question to Dionysus. Laredo and Jude must locate the incredible cup and return it to Dionysus where an incredible reward awaits them; fail to return it to Dionysus, and they will slumber eternally alongside him without any hope of escape.

Summary: Biology professor Roman Janz was walking across campus and planning his next plant-collecting trip to Brazil, when something stung him on the neck. And now… now he’s wandering in the dark, in the blue, floating, disembodied, and confused. There has to be a good explanation, if he can just find someone, anyone, he can actually talk to about it. Xavier Faulkner is intelligent, creative, and made millions when he sold his tech-security company. But all his wealth and skills couldn’t keep his sister Tam from being poisoned by food contamination. She lived, but her health was damaged, and her job as a cop is gone. In the antebellum house he moved them to, Xavier hopes to find both a distraction and maybe a purpose for their lives. But the old house seems to come with strange noises, and odd blue lights, and maybe― if Xavier isn’t just going crazy― a naked guy, walking away into the blue…   This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love’s Landscapes" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story. Dear Author, I just moved into this old antebellum home I bought with the intentions of restoring. I often find myself awoken in the night by strange noises I cannot identify or hear during the day. At first, I think it’s just a dream… this seemingly phantom always walking away. Who is he and how can I get him to finally turn around and see me? 79,000 words

Summary: When Dale Shaw gets offered a job at the Last Bastion Ranch, a discreet treatment facility out in the country, he jumps at it. Sure, the ranch isn’t a ranch, the name sounds fatalistic, and it’s too remote for cell service. But after spending years as an army medic and ER nurse, he needs something low key. Low stress. More money. The biggest bonus is its proximity to Owen, the man he’d loved and lost in college. His work should allow him plenty of time for second chances. Surprisingly, the security is excessive, the facility doesn’t cater to the wealthy, the patients are far too easygoing, and the director is leaving on vacation, after issuing a cryptic warning. Nothing will stop him from rekindling his romance with Owen, right? (This is a longer version of a story that appeared in Bookish Bits and Bites: A Coastal Magic Convention Charity Anthology)
