I’ve written a short story! A non-comic book short story! A non-comic book gay contemporary romance* short story! It’s called Home Port!

Here’s the promo blurb:

After months at sea, Petty Officer First Class Dean Mendez is back in San Diego, and he knows exactly how he wants to spend his first night home. Is the beautiful boy he finds on a nightclub dance floor the perfect companion for the evening, or is he much more?

Short story, approximately 6000 words.

This is my first prose creative writing since high school. I’ve been editing the hell out of it, and my plan is to self-publish for a low price with Smashwords —and whichever other on line stores I can figure out; Amazon perhaps— on or by February 14. (Because no one else is gonna be publishing romance on Valentine’s Day, right?) I’ll be posting more work in progress stuff here in the meantime. Stay tuned!

*Fair warning: this story will have f-words and man sex.

Hey you guys! I am reblogging to give my official endorsement to this here FINE, fine piece of sexy writing. How can I give this endorsement just moments after its been made public? Because I had the high privilege of being a beta reader for it before it was released! BAM, JEALOUS MUCH?

But honestly, Colleen Coover is a great storyteller, whether she’s cartooning or writing in prose, and I can’t recommend her work enough to everyone.

And hey! If you like dude-on-dude action, consider this your birthday gift.
