“Maybe he’s right.  Maybe I am the cause of this.  Maybe you were normal before meeting me.”

Gable Peterson isn’t the type to get into fights.

He’s had disagreements with people, yes, but it has never reached the point of needing to ball his fists to defend himself.  The closest he’s come to violence is his father’s hunting.  The older man has taken him out a few times and Gable has held a gun, however, he’s never had the urge to fire it.

Gable Peterson is also one of those lucky, gay kids who doesn’t have a tragic back story.  He was never bullied, never hated, and though he knows that he was never completely “out of the closet” he’s seen with his own eyes his parent’s acceptance, once upon a dream.  He’s had his parents sit next to him and offer their support regarding Avery’s disappearance, has had his mother wag her finger at him for not telling her sooner.  She’s expressed disappointment about not being able to make his boyfriend a home cooked meal, already creating a menu in her mind in regards to what she should cook.

Gable’s heard stories of boys like him being beaten up, or made fun of, for “being different.”  He knows there’s organizations on campus that offer nothing but support and kindness, knows there’s “Safe Zones” and he knows that It Gets Better.

Despite the number of times he’s gone through this nightmare, he – foolishly – never once thought that he would play the part of the victim.

It looks like my next book will be out right on schedule: November 1st! I’ll have links to where it can be purchased when I get them. It’s my very first gay romance novel, but you all know me, the “romance” part has to be complicated in a weird, supernatural, nightmare inducing way ^^

Here’s some news about my next book.  It looks like it’ll be ready right on schedule!  Before release I’m looking for reviewers of the book, so if anyone knows any places I should try (or if you’re a reviewer yourself) let me know, my publisher gives me free electronic copies to distribute to reviewers.  Reviews would be wonderful to have on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, and personal blogs. 

To my new followers, I have a writing blog you can follow to keep up with my writing  :)
