Bones: Book Three

Ery Phillips’s muse is MIA. He’s pretty sure his job as a graphic designer is to blame, because let’s face it, what kind of muse wants to draw grocery store logos and catheterized penises?

When Ery’s friends Dylan and Chris head off on a European vacation, Ery jumps at the chance to stay on their farm, hoping a stint in the country will encourage his muse to reappear. To be sure, the farm has attracted a few oddities—Dylan is a werewolf and the place was recently haunted—but Ery isn’t canceling his plans just because his friends warn him that there’s something strange going on in their pond. What he doesn’t expect is Karl, a beautiful naked man who appears at the water’s edge.

With Karl as his inspiration, Ery creates amazing paintings and begins to achieve the success he had previously only dreamed of. But Karl comes with certain challenges, causing Ery to question his own goals. Creating the life of his dreams with an unusual beloved may be more challenge than Ery can handle.

William Lyons Vergangenheit hat ihn in eine Rolle gezwängt, die nicht seiner Persönlichkeit entspricht. Als er die Fassade nicht mehr aufrechterhalten kann, trennt er sich von seiner Frau und nimmt eine Stelle als Hausmeister für ein altes Gebäude an, das schon seit Jahren leer steht. Über mehr als hundert Jahre war die psychiatrische Anstalt von Jelley’s Valley die größte Einrichtung ihrer Art in Kalifornien. William hofft, dass er hier die Zeit und Ruhe findet, endlich seine Dissertation zum Abschluss zu bringen und seine Scheidung abzuwarten. Als er in der kleinen Stadt ankommt, lernt er Colby Anderson kennen, der den örtlichen Lebensmittelladen betreibt und sich um das Postamt kümmert. Colby ist, ganz im Gegensatz zu William, ein lebensfroher und liebenswerter junger Mann. Und er ist unverkennbar schwul. Obwohl William sich durch Colbys extravagantes Verhalten zunächst abgestoßen fühlt, lernt er ihre neue Freundschaft mit der Zeit doch zu schätzen, und er nimmt Colbys Angebot an, sich von ihm in die Freuden des schwulen Sex einführen zu lassen.

Williams Selbstverständnis wird auf den Kopf gestellt, als er eine Blechdose findet, die seit den 1940er Jahren in einer Wand des Asyls verborgen war. Die Dose enthält Briefe, die im Geheimen von einem Patienten namens Bill verfasst wurden, der wegen seiner Homosexualität hier eingeliefert wurde. William fühlt sich durch die Briefe unmittelbar angesprochen und beginnt, sich für Bills Schicksal zu interessieren. William hofft, dass die über siebzig Jahre alten Briefe und Colbys Unterstützung ihm dabei helfen können, sein wahres Ich zu finden.

Fiscal analyst Mike Carlson is good with spreadsheets and baseball stats. He doesn’t believe in fate, true love, or fantasy. But then a fertility goddess whisks him away to another world. A promise has been broken, and if Mike is ever to return to California—and his comfortable if lonely life—he must complete a pilgrimage to the shrines of a death goddess.

A humiliating event convinces Mike to hire a guard to accompany him, and hunky Goran is handy enough with a sword, if a little too liberal with his ale. A man with no home and no family, Goran is deeper than he first appears. As Mike learns more about Goran, his disbelief wavers and his goals become less clear. Contending with feuding gods, the challenges of the journey, and his growing attraction to Goran, Mike faces a puzzle far harder to solve than simple rows of numbers.

William Lyon's past forced him to become someone he isn't. Conflicted and unable to maintain the charade, he separates from his wife and takes a job as caretaker at a former mental hospital. Jelley’s Valley State Insane Asylum was the largest mental hospital in California for well over a century, but it now stands empty.

In town, William meets Colby Anderson, who minds the local store and post office. Unlike William, Colby is cute, upbeat, and flamboyantly out. Although initially put off by Colby’s mannerisms, William comes to value their new friendship, and even accepts Colby's offer to ease him into the world of gay sex.

William’s self-image begins to change when he discovers a tin box, hidden in an asylum wall since the 1940s. It contains letters secretly written by Bill, a patient who was sent to the asylum for being homosexual. The letters hit close to home, and William comes to care about Bill and his fate.

Bones: Book Two

Werewolves don’t have a how-to manual—nor do men embarking on a new life together.

It’s been a few weeks since Dylan Warner wolfed out and killed Andy, the crazed werewolf who originally turned him and later tried to murder Chris Nock. Architect Dylan and handyman Chris are still refurbishing Dylan's old house as they work out the structure of their relationship. They come from very different backgrounds, and neither has had a long-term lover before, so negotiating their connections would be challenge enough even if Dylan didn’t turn into a beast once a month.

To make matters worse, Dylan’s house is haunted, and events from both men’s pasts are catching up with them. Dylan has to cope with the aftermath of killing Andy, and Chris continues to suffer the effects of a difficult childhood.

In his quest to get rid of the ghost, Dylan rekindles old friendships and faces new dangers. At the same time, Chris’s father makes a sudden reappearance, stirring up old emotions. If Dylan and Chris want to build a lasting relationship, they’ll have to meet these challenges head-on.

Bones: Book One

Skinny, quiet hipster Dylan Warner was the kind of guy other men barely glanced at until an evening’s indiscretion with a handsome stranger turned him into a werewolf. Now, despite a slightly hairy handicap, he just wants to live an ordinary—if lonely—life as an architect. He tries to keep his wild impulses in check, but after one too many close calls, Dylan gives up his urban life and moves to the country, where he will be less likely to harm someone else. His new home is a dilapidated but promising house that comes with a former Christmas tree farm and a solitary neighbor: sexy, rustic Chris Nock.

Dylan hires Chris to help him renovate the farmhouse and quickly discovers his assumptions about his neighbor are inaccurate—and that he’d very much like Chris to become a permanent fixture in his life as well as his home. Between proving himself to his boss, coping with the seductive lure of his dangerous ex-lover, and his limited romantic experience, Dylan finds it hard enough to express himself—how can he bring up his monthly urge to howl at the moon?
