H.D. Nels

When Martin Provost comes out to his family, his parents accept him but, surprisingly, his twin sister does not. On his way home, Martin’s car is hit by a truck that crosses into his lane. He survives the accident, but barely -- he is unresponsive. Anthony Carsen is a widower trying to deal with his partner’s suicide. He lives near the scene of Martin’s accident and rushes to help, though he thinks he might be too late. Though Martin’s body is in a coma, his spirit is drawn to Anthony, and soon the two fall in love. But Martin’s isn’t the only presence in Anthony’s home, and soon other spirits make their presences known. Martin isn’t dead, but his life is fading fast. Can Anthony convince his spirit to return to his body? Will Anthony’s late partner leave him and Martin in peace to pursue their love? If the spirit is willing ...

Martin chuckled. “This spooky shit is amazing. I had the exact same thing for breakfast. Since you’re so psychically connected to me, I bet you know what’s going to happen when you walk through the front door.”


“Don’t have to be psychic, or a genius, to know you think with your dick. Just don’t start without me. I hate sloppy seconds.” He grinned at a mental image that formed.


“I’m going to chat with Agnes. See you in a bit. Love you.” The words sounded strange coming from Martin’s lips. He never said that to another man in this context before.


“I love you, as well, my handsome Martin. See you soon.” It sounded so easy coming from Anthony’s mouth. Well, obviously the man had years of practice.


Martin strolled out back with his coffee, listening for the familiar voice of his elderly neighbour. He smiled when he heard her.
