From a tiny acorn grows a mighty oak, so it is with love. Undaunted by rain, snow, thunder and lighting, and even a tornado, Goose and Patrick weathered many storms from first meeting to marriage. By their side through it all, Jefferson and Calvin shared their own love story as Goose and Patrick’s guides through the present and the past and their guardian angels in Heaven and on Earth. Contains the stories: Ghost Writer: Goose is finally allowing himself to feel something again, something like love. He and Jefferson have both been through a lot, war and escaping their abusive exes. There are two problems, though. Jefferson belongs to someone else, and he’s a ghost. While Goose tries to save a tree planted by Jefferson’s lover over a hundred years ago, Jefferson tries to heal Goose’s heart, broken far too long. Snowed In: Goose and Patrick: Four men, two in this realm and two in another, fight all sorts of obstacles, including war, separation, family dysfunction, racial prejudice, homophobia, and their own inner demons to fall in love and explore or recapture their sexuality. Each pair, from this century and one in the past, help the other along the way. Nine Minutes in Heaven: Goose’s lover Patrick ends up on one side of the light, with Jefferson and Calvin. Goose’s family and his dog, Wilbur, are on this side. When Goose is seriously injured and faced with a choice between Heaven and Earth, he finds the decision impossible to make, which could result in him being stuck somewhere in between. Ghosts of Honor: Goose and Patrick have weathered many storms, literally, a massive blizzard and figuratively, death. Will a tornado on their wedding day, a group of ghostly crashers, Goose’s distraction, and Patrick’s lingering emotional pain after the attack be too much to make it through this time?

Weathering the Storms Box Set

Patrick was pacing around the rear parking lot when we pulled into the Mickey D’s. He’d told me to meet him back there, so he wouldn’t be tempted to go inside. That bummed me out.


Like Will Ferrell in the movie Elf, Patrick looked like he could star in a flick about an outcast leprechaun. In an olive-green Henley and brown shorts, he had everything in common with the paper ones that hung around my house in March, except he was tall enough to be two, possibly even three. He wasn’t wearing a hat with a buckle on the front, either, but I could imagine one on him. “All set he asked?” reaching for my bag as I tried my best to balance it with Wilbur’s carrier.


“Thank you.” I let him take it. “This is Wilbur.”


“My sister and brother-in-law are going to come pick up the Outback here out back.” I smiled, thinking I was clever. “If you don’t mind waiting another minute or two?”
