Birdie I was kind of halfway in love with Royce. Royce just wasn't aware of that, I didn't think. Sure, we went at it like cats and dogs verbally but I was pretty sure he didn't know I wanted to go at it like... things that go at it in a naked way. Marmots? Muskrats? Wasn't there a song about muskrats doing it? He didn't know I wanted to go at it like muskrats from a 70s yacht rock song.  Officially, I'm a research associate for Halloran and Reynard, a small but powerful magical research lab. Unofficially, I work for Doctors Halloran and Reynard themselves, tracking down missing and runaway magic-users trying to stay out of the grasp of folks who want to control magic-users, turning us into lab rats and squeezing us dry before throwing us into the trash heap. I wanted to keep Royce out of it, keep him safe, so I broke things off with him as soon as I realized feelings had well and truly been caught. It wasn't my brightest move, really. When Royce decided to tag along with me on what was supposed to be a simple recon trip to check on a known rogue magic-user, everything went straight to Hell and my attempts to protect him by breaking off our burgeoning relationship were for nothing. Now we're both running and I have no idea how I'm going to get him out of this before they catch up to me. Fuzzy Logic is a MM speculative fiction/urban fantasy romance of approximately 49k words with a happy ending. It is part TWO of a THREE part series and can best be read after part ONE. It features the prickly one soft for the soft one, friends to lovers to friends and back to lovers again, an unwilling road trip, and a seeming mismatch being a true match. Please see trigger warnings inside the book before reading.

There's a science to magic... Surrounded daily by people with enhanced abilities,I'm well aware I'm nothing special. Fortunately, we all have our strengths. Mine happen to be less thrilling than superhuman abilities. Data analysis and being a great match-maker—for anyone except myself—are where I shine.  (Cue sad trombone noises.) All of which made it all the more confusing when my routine lab tests came back showing anomalies. Me? Enhanced? There had to be a mistake. And I'm not only one who thought so. I wanted to catch the attention of my delicious, sex-on-a-stick office mate, Andrew Hicks. But not like this... Now, tasked with partnering with Andrew to track down other undocumented Enhanced, I'm faced with two gut-wrenching decisions. Do I risk heartbreak by acting on the attraction brewing between Andrew and I? More importantly, am I doing what's right by forcing other Enhanced out of hiding?  Data Sets is a light scifi/spec fic M/M romance (about 55k words) with a HFN/HEA ending and is part one of a series.

Julian Weems doesn't believe in aliens, cryptids, ESP, pineapple on his pizza, or ghosts.Oscar Fellowes is determined to change his mind about at least two of those things. Julian Weems is a professional skeptic. Scratch that—he's a disgraced ex-professor who just plays one on TV. Specifically, on UnReality's soon-to-be-hit, Bump in the Night. Alongside medium Oscar Fellowes, Julian is set to investigate (alleged!) hauntings and get to the bottom of some old mysteries.That thumping sound upstairs? Floorboards settling.The cabinets that won't stay closed? Old hinges.The disembodied voices, flying dishes, and crying maid who disappears in front of your very eyes?Well, there's explanations for those, too. Oscar has plenty of them. Just not anything Julian can accept. You don't have to believe in ghosts for them to believe in you. Oscar Fellowes has dealt with skeptics his entire life. None of them have ever been quite like Julian Weems, though. He doesn't have to be an empath to pick up on the mutual attraction between them and he's willing to overlook—for now—Julian's adamant refusal to accept what's happening around them.The Hendricks family who died over a century ago haven't left their house, and they want help. The dead demand justice before they can rest in peace and their anger seems strong enough to reach between worlds. Bump in the Night is a paranormal romance and book one in a series. It can be read as a standalone but has elements that will continue throughout the rest of the series, including a growing romance between the resident skeptic and professional medium.

Not all ghosts are dead. A Grey Lady on the stairs.A long-missing skier in the walls.A medium losing his cool.And an ex boyfriend in the bedroom.Things are going fine. Just...fine.It was supposed to be an easy investigation: a classic ghost story, an old house with lots of loose floorboards and hissing pipes, surrounded by dense forest... Every strange noise and weird shadow accounted for and explainable.Except for the sound of Oscar being accused of misleading his audience, of being a con artist.And the Julian's ex showing up at the investigation as the new owner of the ski resort, haunted by the Gray Lady of the Rockies.Julian should have known better than to believe it was going to be an easy investigation.The scariest hauntings aren't the dead. They're the ghosts we keep inside. Oscar has it under control.Really.The Gray Lady of the Rockies is supposed to be a simple investigation, something they all need after the last few months, but when the first night in the Chateau de Neige turns up an extra dead body in the old family cemetery, and an extra live one in the ski lodge's dining room, Oscar's grasp on the situation feels like it might be slipping.His abilities are still in a state of flux—one day they're just fine, the next the volume is cranked to eleven with no warning and no in between.And really, Oscar was sure he could handle it so long as the ghosts would stop being so damn critical.

Things between Julian and Oscar are only getting better and stronger. They're ready to take the next step in their relationship:Going to the biggest paranormal investigation convention in the eastern United States to promote Bump in the Night. Everything is changing.And not in the way Julian hoped for when he took the job on Bump in the Night.The show is falling apart before it even really gets off the ground.Oscar is having a crisis of faith in his abilities.Julian's been seeing someone.Someone who's supposed to be dead.And when did the Bump in the Night team get a devoted fanbase who likes to cosplay as them at conventions?He's still a skeptic, but there's some things that Julian just can't find an answer for these days.Maybe that fall down the stairs during the last episode did more damage than Julian thought. Everything is changing.Oscar's got a secret.He's not the medium he used to be. His abilities are getting unpredictable and people are starting to notice.Worse, the ghosts are starting to notice, and some of them have made it their mission to make Oscar's life as stressful as possible.And there's a man who might be able to help him figure out what's going on. Too bad the man seems to want him dead.But first, Oscar has to get through Boo Con and a surprising number of people wearing cravats who all want his autograph.
