Something old & something new in 2017

Happy New Year!
I'm currently writing a new short story, not based on any of my previous works. It's a gay romantic comedy set in Texas.
I'm also working on a revised version of The Return of Innocence: A Fantasy Adventure.
Please be good to yourself and others throughout the year!
