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

“Polo.” Dealing with my rather odd ring while simultaneously carrying Wilbur was no easy task, either.


“Right here,” I said, just a little bit louder, rounding a shelf of Russell Stover’s marshmallow, caramel, and maple cream Valentine’s Day hearts put out for sale two days before Christmas. “Give me a second.” I could see Patrick back up by the jewelry case, as I continued to blow. He was down on bended knee again.


“Come to me, Goose. We’ve been apart far too long.”


My heart skipped once, and then some more, the first time in amazement and total adoration, the second and beyond with anxiety. “Deep breaths, Goose.” I said it and took some, for their calming effect and to finish with my ring.


“What are you doing?” Patrick’s voice, though lowered, still boomed.


“I’ll be right there.” I shout-whispered and peered from behind a display of winter hats so he could see me put one finger to my lips.


“I hope so. If not, I’ll start singing.”
