Summary: Joshua and Colin built Camp Pride—a place where LGBTQ+ youth could breathe, belong, and finally be seen. But not every child can make it to camp. In small towns across Virginia, there are kids still waiting. Still hiding. Still wondering if anyone will ever come looking for them. So Joshua does what he’s always done when the world falls short. He builds a way forward. With his Outreach Playbook in hand—a blueprint born of experience, compassion, and hard-earned truth—he and Colin take Camp Pride on the road. Alongside David and Nate Gardener-Reese, Trent Peterson, and Alex Mayfield, they set out across sixteen days and six rural towns, carrying more than supplies. They carry hope. But what they find will test all of them. Young people holding their breath. Parents caught between fear and love. Communities where a single conversation can feel like a line drawn in the sand. And not everyone wants them there. There are still voices raised in anger. Doors that close before they can knock. Moments where showing up doesn’t just take courage—it carries risk. And beneath it all, a quiet, unrelenting question: Can you change a life… just by showing up? For Colin, the journey becomes something else entirely. Because he’s learned—again and again—that love doesn’t always save people. And this time, he may have to face what that really means. Some journeys are measured in miles. This one is measured in courage… in connection… in the fragile, stubborn belief that someone, somewhere, will finally say: You matter. We hear you. Hold on. We're coming!

Summary: A raw, intimate MM romance set beneath wide desert skies, Where the Desert Glows is a story about loneliness, quiet devotion, and choosing each other when the world keeps asking you to disappear. Skye I’m good at taking up space. I stay loud, keep moving. Working at a veterinary clinic keeps me busy enough to avoid stillness. Stillness is dangerous, and the quiet lets things catch up to me. Then a favor for my brother pulls me into the Mojave with his fellow mechanic and my good friend Darren, a quiet former Army medic who sees straight through my nerves. We’re supposed to pick up custom-requested paint from a desert artist and head home. Instead, we stumble onto a sketchy shipment falsely tied to Phoenix Cycles, no cell signal, and a situation that spirals fast. No matter what the desert throws at us, Darren doesn’t try to fix me or tell me I’m wrong. He just stays, solid and steady. Falling for him means stopping long enough to believe I'm not actually broken, and that realization might be the scariest thing of all. Darren I’ve spent my life holding broken things together. My love life. My professional life. Bodies. Motorcycles. Other people’s pain. I trust what’s solid, what can be carried, what can be endured without complaint.

I’ve always told myself it was safer to keep a little distance between us. That's when a routine trip into the Mojave goes wrong. The desert strips everything down to survival, and suddenly the things I’ve been avoiding matter less than the man standing beside me.

Summary: "A sexy "no boundaries" stalkerish Valentine's Day romance." He was the best Cuddler and, ultimately, the best Lover I’d ever had. Why ruin it with silly questions, like... “Who are you?” and “How did you get in my house?” My name is Jordan West. I was 23, single, and living alone when the Valentine’s Day incident occurred. A borderline introvert living in a city of possibilities, it took a lot of effort to spiff myself up, go out there, and try to connect. An effort that usually ended in vain. So, I gave up. I do that easily. I unapologetically admit it doesn’t take much for me to throw in the towel. That’s just me, for better or worse. Probably worse. Sure, I was lonely—horny—and craved hot, exciting sex. But to be honest, I had no “game,” and my introversion prevented me from trying too hard. The few times I managed to coax myself into a club, it never seemed to end well. I had my fair share of dates when I first came to the city—I’m good-looking enough to draw attention—but no real connections. I started going out less until I was practically a recluse. No problem. I had toys—and a surplus of batteries. Still… one can’t help but crave a flesh-and-blood c*** now and then, attached to a hard-bodied, hot man who knows how to f***. But that was mostly fantasy at that point. Then one night, that fantasy came to life in the most disturbing and, dare I say, exciting way—with no effort whatsoever from me. Perfect. He came, we came, and I… let it happen? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t my choice, but I digress...
