Mystery Stories

A mysterious vintage Leica begins delivering photographs Alex never took—intimate moments with a woman he hasn’t met. Each image pulls him deeper into the city’s shadows and toward Maya, a poet with secrets of her own. As the camera reveals glimpses of a perfect future, Alex must choose: follow the vision—or step out of the frame and into something real. A story about love, fate, and a life unframed. This is the draft prior to final edit, which reduced it from 6,500 words to 1,700.

A Nexus Story (4)
This is the introduction piece for a series to come called Nexus Interludes. It will be a series of short stories that occur shortly after Nexus Evolution but are meant to be stand-alone. The stories can be read in any order. Of course, reading the entire Nexus series first would give you a fuller frame of reference. I intend these to be fun and a little more spicy than I usually write, but I also want to add detail to the Nexus Universe. Stand by for more!

The Cairo, Egypt, of the 1920s is a wide-open city for the varied sexual preferences of men seeking men or boys. Ali Selim Pasha is a notorious despoiler of older boys, and when fourteen-year-old handsome blond American fortune heir David Ames arrives to visit King Tut's tomb, Ali is only one of several men anxious and prepared to debauch him. Ali is the first one to snatch and imprison him, though, and to weave an atmosphere of want around the boy to prepare him for his first time.

A Bullet Story (1)
It was a Dark and Stormy Night. A loud clap of thunder masked the rumble from the rifle that sent the Bullet my way. It parted not only my skull but also me from my life.
