His dad's untimely death in Afghanistan and his mom's subsequent nervous breakdown have left a lasting impact on him, and meeting Brandon gives him hope for the future. Jace is ready to make big changes in his otherwise mundane life. He's at a pinnacle and can’t help but think what it would be like to come out.

Brandon's life has been nothing but chaos from day one. That is until he meets straight-laced Jace. Jace stirs feelings within him that are new and exciting. And after a hot unexpected night together, he’s left with questions that desperately need answering.

As their feelings grow for each another, they come to a bridge that must be crossed. Is their love enough to keep them together or will their differences tear them apart?   Darren Johnson never had much liking for his boss, Jensen Brookes. But when the two are thrown together on an impromptu business trip, they start to get to know each other for the first time and there's no denying that there's a strong mutual attraction between them.

After a hot encounter, both men have to return back to the office and their otherwise mundane lives doing their best to keep their feelings in check.

Because Writing Isn't My Whole Life

 For the past three years writing has practically consumed me. I don't think that's a bad thing, but my other hobbies have went to side. Quilting is one of them.  I started quilting over ten years ago. I started out with simple block quilts done by machine and then moved to more complex patterns like the pinwheel shown in the first picture. I then returned back  to sewing a crazy quit by hand. After that I stopped altogether. Quilting is something I enjoy. It de-stresses me when I work with the fabric. Like writing, it also makes me feel productive. Being away from the computer is also a bonus. It may sound crazy, but I love fabric. It's thrilling when I find a great piece of vintage fabric that I know can be recycled into something new. Thrift shops are great places to hunt for quilt fabric.    Gardening is another love of mine. Before moving into the city, I had a huge garden. At this time I have nothing since it doesn't work where I live. I hope to return to it at some point in the future. My question is: What hobbies do you enjoy? XD

On Diabetes and Life

   Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. It didn't surprise me when it was confirmed by my doctor, but the knowing left me bitter and depressed. I kind of knew that it was a possibility. I've been ill off and on over the past two years, but this seemed to come and go. I had myself convinced that it was nothing, but the what if was always there in the back of my mind. I'd become very ill over the past couple of months. More so in fact than ever before. I had frequent headaches and dizziness. I was always thirsty, and going to the bathroom. I was often nauseated. My eyes hurt at times. Even after 8 hours sleep, I was still tired, and sleeping most days. I found whenever I felt fatigued all I needed was something with a lot of sugar in it(Regular soda), and I would come around and feel much better. When I was tested for diabetes, my fasting sugar was high. When I was spot checked in the doctor's office, it was dangerously high! I'm on medication so far. I don't want to go on insulin. I'm following a strict diet with a restricted carb intake, and it's been hell. Going from eating whatever you want to watching everything isn't easy. But I take full responsibility for my condition, and I know that no one else got me there but myself. Hopefully the diet along with exercise and meds will work. My doctor is optimistic, and so am I. If you've been feeling like I described above, get yourself checked. The damage that diabetes can do to the body over years untreated is astounding, and scary. It's better to know than not. XD
