Check it out, guys! I’m working on a new story before “Treat Me Kindly” gets published! Some may say I’m crazy, but… well I am crazy, but this was actually done some time ago and I’m just editing/snazzing it up before sending it to publishers.
This is a gay romance story that suddenly turned novel length (oops?) It’s kinda got a crime thriller vibe, with some supernatural elements mixed in and a touch bit of horror? There’s a brief description below followed by a snippet of the two main boys in the story and how they interact with one another :)
Warnings: Geekery, cute boys doing cute boy things, me trying to tempt you with my writing more
Brief synopsis: When something tragic happens in your life you want nothing more than to close your eyes, go to sleep, and make all of the pain go away. For Gable Peterson it’s a little more complicated than that. When detective Maurice Ashford shows up at his door with news that his boyfriend, Avery Blair, has been found dead, Gable is left devastated. Gable does the same thing he did when his grandfather died back when he was a little boy; he closes his eyes and imagines a world where his loved one is still alive.
Only, when Gable wakes up, he’s surprised to see that Avery is actually still alive!
Gable discovers something very peculiar about himself. There’s a place inside of his head where another Gable Peterson exists. This other Gable tells him that he has the power to go back and keep Avery from dying. Of course, Gable doesn’t believe anything that he’s hearing.
Until Avery dies for the second time.
Shortly after, Gable finds himself back at day one. Now he’s more determined than ever to save his boyfriend.
But is it worth the hardship he’s about to face?
This isn’t just some accident that happens to Avery. Gable’s boyfriend is murdered in cold blood by someone who the media has called “The Horrific Homophobe” or “The Double H Murderer.” This killer roams the streets of Minneapolis, kidnapping gay men who turn up dead in a week’s time. They’re not just brutally killed, there are derogatory words written all over their bodies in a terrifying display of the hell they had suffered through during the week. Oddly enough, along with words like FAGGOT and QUEER and HOMO are compliments of nice eyes or beautiful smile and other charming words that have no business being anywhere near such hatred. Gable suddenly finds himself tracking down a killer, but can he save Avery in time?
