Originial WIPs

I'm currently working on two original pieces, in two very different genres.



The first is When the Spirit Moves - a paranormal M/M mystery set in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

Summary: Brayden James is an eager reporter stuck doing society fluff pieces for the local newspaper, when what he really wants is a chance to work cutting-edge crime reporting. A series of disappearances around Devil's Chase, the old D'Archane mansion, have revived tales of vampires, voodoo, and unrest in the French Quarter.
Determined to find the real source of the murders, Brayden begins his investigation by tracing police records of all the disappearances and murders associated with the area around Devil's Chase. Suspecting there is more than meets the eye, he turns his focus, delving into the history of the D'Archane family and the ancient manse that bears their name. Digging into archives, he comes across the story of Lucien D'Archane.
Lucien's life, and death, is shrouded in mystery, with no clear documentation of either, other than assorted legends and wives' tales. Brady's research draws him deeper into the realm of the unknown, testing the line between reality and fantasy, while his every move is being watched and documented. When his investigation brings him face to face with the stuff of history and legends, will he be able to escape the dark choice presented to him?

I hope to share pictures of Brayden and Lucien very soon!







The second piece is Homecoming - a contemporary M/M romance set in the Bremerton/Whidbey Island area of Washington State.

Summary: One of the most anticipated occasions for any member of the military is a homecoming. Knowing your family or significant other waits on the pier, anxious to see you again, is enough to make any sailor excited. That is, any sailor except Lieutenant Travis Michaels, who has been forced to hide his relationship with his partner, James McAvoy, for the last two years in order to protect his career as a Naval officer. However, the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell while underway meant that his long-time partner could finally be there to greet him when the ship arrived. Homecoming has never been sweeter. 

My friend Nancy has sent me a pic that makes me think of Travis and James whenever I see it:
