Weigh Station (vignette)

“I thought these things were just for trucks?”  Kent pressed his face close to the window as Lee caught his breath.  The parking lot was empty, the broken pavement looking old and abandoned, with patches of copious weeds shooting up through the cracks.  The scrubby growth popped a vibrant, neon green under the sole, sputtering light pole that revealed flashing glimpses of their desolate surroundings.  There was only one other vehicle present, or at least that’s what ...

To the Top of the Temple, ch. 2

“Wait…say that again?  You were doing what?”  Tony stopped stroking Matt’s plump pecs, sure that he’d misheard his friend.

The dark-haired jock shrugged and folded his muscled arms behind his head.  “I don’t know, man.  It was weird.  You were there…a bunch of people were…and we were climbing up these stairs?  It looked like a pyramid or something, but the sky was a weird color and it smelled funky.”  A grin spread across his sleepy...

Country Roads...

Some photos from last week's trip.  Maybe Kingsbury Harbor can have a sister city in the mountains? 

Kingsbury Voting Options

Option 1: A traveling magician comes to town, and a bachelor party learns the hard way that his tricks are much more than illusions.

Option 2: Trying to save money, a man builds his new deck out of wood salvaged from a shipwreck, leading to increasingly strange behavior whenever he spends time on it.

Option 3: After buying an antique bed that used to belong to a town beauty, a man finds himself confusingly interested in his sudden abundance of male suitors.

Option 4: A man i...

Kingsbury Harbor, ch. 23: Sea Glass

***I haven't had time to finalize all the voting options, so those will be up ASAP, but I didn't want the chapter to sit any longer than it had to.  Thanks everyone! ***

“Come on…are you guys sure,” Hank asked, dragging out the last word as he gave his friends a pleading look.  The gorgeous brunette shifted his weight, his shredded abs and muscled thighs flexing as he squirmed.  The tiny, paper-thin swim trunks accentuated his hefty package and round, solid cheeks i...

Kingsbury is on the way!

Hi Everyone,

Haven’t forgotten about Kingsbury. I went out of town last week for a much needed break in the mountains (pictures to come), so I’m running a little behind. It should be up in the next couple days.

Attitude Adjustment

“This must be rough for you,” Derek said, running his hands around the edges of the young stud’s ample pecs.  He gave the sculpted mounds a squeeze, working his thumbs over the firm little nipples before letting go and stepping back to survey the naked man on the table.  He rubbed his chin and grinned as he looked at the prone jock’s rigid, leaking cock.  The less-than-average organ was nowhere near as impressive as the rest of the budding bodybuilder’s chiseled frame...

Chantry Hollow (full story)

“Oh, come on.  You don’t actually believe that shit about the Hollow?”  Rhett paused just on the other side of the clearing, his three friends remaining safely behind the wall of pines.  The charred ruins of the old church stood at the smug blonde’s back, looming like a crouching giant in the dim light. Well outside the city limits and away from the ever-present light pollution, the sky above the clearing was increasingly peppered with stars winking to life as the final...

Observer Effect (vignette)

I know there’s going to be a cost.  I’ve started hearing something tapping at the window from the other side, calling my name in the middle of the night.  One of these times I’m going to pull back the curtain and see the face of my actions catching up with me.  I’m sure it won’t be pretty, but until then, I can’t stop.  I don’t want to.  The power was addictive from the start, and now that I’ve seen what this thing can really do there’s no going back...

Out of the Closet

*** This was another one that started as a vignette a few months ago.  I had parts of it worked out at the time, but not the whole idea.  Also, don't worry Vignette folks, I haven't forgotten about you.  I've got a bunch of stuff in the pipe, just haven't had the chance to sit down and get it out.  Should be back on track soon, so thank you for bearing with me! ***

It had to be a closet.  The instructions were very clear that a doorway was needed, and it couldn�...

Kingsbury Harbor, ch. 22: Fresh Baked

Bruce couldn’t stop smiling.  Everything was finally ready.  The small folding table was filled from edge to edge with his fresh-baked goods, the poster-board sign he’d drawn by hand, listing his very reasonable prices, was hung with care behind him, and he had a full thermos of coffee to get him through the morning.  It was his farmer’s market debut, and the slight, balding little man wasn’t about to mess it up.  He adjusted his thin, wire-rimmed spectacles and mo...

Art!

Quick heads up for those of you who aren't already following him - AdultJunkDrawer did a couple fantastic pieces based on To the Top of the Temple, and you should absolutely go check out his work. If you like what you find here, you'll find plenty to like over there as well.  

To the Top of the Temple, ch. 1

Tony was climbing the steps again.  The towering doors at the top of the ziggurat loomed ahead, split down the middle by a strip of impenetrable darkness as they inched opened.  The intoxicatingly sweet, floral smells of the alien jungle filled his nostrils, sending a pleasant tingle through his exposed, rigid cock.  He was naked as always, the purple sun blazing in the green sky overhead warming his lean frame.  Despite the crowd of people following up the steps behind hi...

New E-Book

Hi Everyone,

For those of you who are interested, I put up the Climbing the Ladder series as an e-book.  With HB&L turning back up in the new Hashtag stories, it felt like a good time to dust it off (you can also find more about the "B" in HB&L in the story "Down in the Valley").  This was an older one, so I gave it a thorough going over during the last month and tidied it all...

Johnny Football

*** This is an old vignette from several years ago, so it might look familiar to some of you.  I meant to release it for everyone a while back, and then that plan totally fell off the radar.  With things still being a little hectic on the home front, this felt like a good time.  I apologize for the rehashed material...brand new stuff is on the way! ***

“Don’t forget, kid, we literally own you.  You’re more machine than person at this point.”  ...

Kingsbury Harbor, ch. 21: A Small Change

“Wow.  What was her problem,” Spence grumbled, turning away from the dark-haired woman sauntering in the opposite direction along the beach.  He reached down and adjusted his thick package, consoling the twitching organ with a reassuring squeeze through his trunks.  He’d made what he thought was an expert pass at the raven-haired beauty, but she hadn’t viewed his eager hands that way.  Despite his wounded ego, the tanned blonde lingered on the memory of the bikini-...

Kingsbury's On The Way

Hi Everyone,

I haven't forgotten about the next Kingsbury Harbor chapter.  It should hopefully be up in the next day or so.  

Lady Spades

*** This was started as a WIP vignette a few months ago, but it now has a proper ending for everyone to check out. ***

“Finley...have you lost your goddamn mind?”  Colt crossed his arms and leaned against the bathroom door, the towering wall of muscle filling the frame as he watched his friend set up a small altar on the counter.  “You’re starting to freak me out, bud.”  

Finley shrugged at the larger man.  “You don’t have to believe me, I just ne...

Chantry Hollow (vignette)

*** Quick snippet from a WIP.  This one's gonna be weird. ***

The sound hit them like a wave.  Though they were nowhere near the rotting steeple, the crushing din redlined their hearing.  The way their bodies shook and vibrated, the two young pretty boys might as well have been standing directly under a massive church bell.  For what felt like an eternity, the blasting sound was all they knew.  They could feel themselves yelling and trying to move, but they were...

Three Years (!?)

"Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends.  In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well.  It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over.  Getting happy, okay?  Getting happy." - Stephen King

Wow.  That sure happened fast.  I feel like I say that every year, but every year it seems to come quicker and quicker.  L...

DropBox Update

I just realized I forgot to post last month's DropBox update, so here's everything that's been added since June for folks who have access: 

In Training (vignette), Two of a Kind, Kingsbury Harbor, chs. 16-20, Illumination, Out of the closet (vignette), I Heard About the Fireworks, Hashtag chs. 3&4, Aftermath (vignette), A Big Lesson, Replicate chs. 1&2, Double or Nothing, Heads or Tails (vignette), and The Jock Stays in the Picture.  

I also put an updated copy o...

Hashtag, ch. 4

It just kept getting better.  Watching Duke’s shrunken legs scramble to keep up with Blane’s bouncing mountains was a thrill the likes of which Troy had never experienced.  The sight of his friend’s athletic frame, still impressively built though reduced in stature, clad in nothing but the accentuating underoos was infinitely more satisfying out in public than it had been in the little hunk’s apartment.  Coupled with Blane’s flighty flirting and constantly shifting re...

Friendly Reminder

It’s been too long since you watched Harold and Maude.

Still Creepin'

This is one of my favorite off-the-books trails.  After climbing down a waterfall, you can hike through the river as long as you don't mind getting your feet wet.  Good settings for future stories.  

Kingsbury Harbor, ch. 20: Let Your Light Shine

“This stuff won’t come off!”  Chase scrubbed furiously at the glittering layer coating his smooth, chiseled pecs.  The prominent mounds seemed to sparkle even through the steam-shrouded light of the shower.  His whole body did.  Ever since the strange substance had washed over him and Matt while they’d been body-boarding earlier that afternoon, neither of them could get it to budge.  Their friend Vince thought it was hilarious when the two jocks scampered back...

The Jock Stays in the Picture

“Very funny,” Bobby said, looking at the bizarre picture of himself and Ryan.  The two men in the photo had faces that resembled their own, but that was where the similarities ended.  “You couldn’t have picked a filter to give me a better mug?”  

“I didn’t pick anything,” Ryan spat, equally surprised at the strange image.  Not only was the version of himself in the picture shorter than he should have been, he looked considerably more built.  Inst...

Creepy or Otherwise

I'm super grateful to have a harbor nearby, especially after this week.  

Alright, 2020. You win.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to let you all know that there are going to be some delays on the page in the near future. I don’t want to kill the mood entirely, but I lost my dad this morning. Having never been through this before, I might throw myself into the work to stay distracted, or I might just stare at a wall all day. Honestly not sure how things are going to go at this point.

I have a couple weeks of weekly stories in the bank, but the next Kingsbury is likely going to be del...

Replicate, ch. 2

“Dude, I still can’t believe that’s you.”  Jake’s eyes were wide as he shook his head and looked Tom’s hulking, hairy frame up and down.  “How did this even happen?  We just saw you two days ago!”  

Liam nodded, his arms folded across his chest.  “And you’re sure you’re...okay?”  The tall blonde raised an eyebrow, his head still spinning from both Tom’s bald, burly new look, and the way he’d casually ushered them into his apartme...

Still Lurking

My dream job is to be that swamp witch from the first Pumpkinhead movie, but in the meantime you can find me out here.
