(1)gay romance
I’m from New Orleans, that’s N’awlins for those of you who speak the language. I grew up in the Riverbend, or Carrollton, for the old timers, but was a Quarter rat from the age of 11, taking 3 buses to go to art class on Burgundy Street at the Cabrini Doll Museum and NORD center. I attended University of New Orleans and have a BA in Fine Art. My mother worked at Tulane University, six blocks from our house and when we were kids my brother and I parked cars in our driveway for the Saints games at Tulane Stadium. We could get six cars down the drive, two on the front lawn, and two on the street and we only charged $2 a car. We made enough to buy a coupla roast beef po’boys at Comeaux’s on Hickory St. and a snowball over at Williams Snow Ball Stand. We lived 1/2 a block from a cemetery, but doesn’t everyone in N’awlins? We used to watch jazz funerals from our front porch.
Now, my family lives in Katy, Texas. I have a “real” job, a truly supportive and understanding husband, two incredible kids, and a slightly neurotic dog. We used to have a guinea pig, but the dog killed it. Did I say slightly?
My son is 15 and has Asperger’s Syndrome (high functioning Autism) and Crohn’s Disease, and is a constant lesson in patience, acceptance and managing expectations. He’s super smart, loves video games, fencing, movies, building with legos, and hanging around the house. Like me, he believes that it’s all about him. Sometimes, I wonder if I don’t have Asperger’s, too. Oh, and he’s very handsome.
My daughter, 13, is so creative it’s scary- she loves to paint, draw manga and anima, build dioramas with any box she can get her hands on, create worlds with legos and then make movies with them, sculpt people, animals and objects with those little twist ties from the grocery store, does pottery, and wants to be a lifeguard. And she’s smart, too. And
beautiful, inside and out.
I write for a few hours in the evenings and on weekends as much as I can, without neglecting my family. (That laughter you hear is my husband) I attend a critique group, and do whatever the kids are into at the time.

There is no 'suprise' about who and what Jacob is, once you get to the story. It's rather predictable. But I do find the story as sweet, amidst the supernatural aura of New Orleans. Mostly because of Mike as a character. The sense of longing, yearning for a relationship that lasts forever, comes so strongly from him, I can feel it in every page.

This was a spooky and sweet read that I enjoyed for Halloween. There is a place called Cemeteries where strange things occur and it's considered normal. One night, Mike catches his usual bus for a ride home when he meets a stranger named Jacob. Each night, he sits beside Jacob and they start a steamy and short bus affair for the entire ride. At the end of the bus route, they part ways and Mike catches his next bus while Jacob stays on. Mike decides to get off one night and follow Jacob to find out where he lives. Jacob is pretty elusive about offering any details about himself. Mike follows him one night to the cemetery and learns a troubling secret. Definitely a spooky read with a surprising HEA for everyone to enjoy :)

Wonderful story
Lovely characters and a strong story make for a very enjoyable read. Eternal love is what we are all searching for and this tale is a prime example of the depths we go through to find it.
Highly recommended to all.

Short, sweet paranormal story of Mike and Jacob, who meet on a bus and carry on sex and falling in love on same, night after night. It does telegraph who Jacob is, but it's a softly flowing story, and I really liked the ending.

I have been waiting for this book a long time and I am glad I got it finally!
Loved the plot, though I kinda knew where it was leading. Loved the characters, and appreciated the love that crossed all barriers. One for my library, even though it was TOO short. Will read again.

A short but sweet story whose characters sort of remind me - RJ Scott Same Time Next Year.

2.5 - A bit bittersweet; I'm glad love managed to conquer all in the end.
