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

“See the yellow butterfly, Wilbur?”


I rubbed my jaw, and then my fist, trying to decide which hurt worse.


“I’m sorry we got so loud. It’ll be just you and me at home, now. I promise. He’s not coming back.”


“Two!” They trailed behind the entire time.


I’d been certain those butterflies were messengers of hope, of a new life. Even if it had simply been Gramma’s way of letting me know they were okay, I’d believed it. I’d felt peace, for them and for myself. I got the same feeling now, at the side of the road, as two fluttered by at night in April, an impossibility, unless I was meant to follow them.


“I want Shelby and Rip to feel that when they hear about me, Gramma.” I wondered if I could visit my sister, like Jefferson did me, like a ghost, or maybe as a cardinal or butterfly.


Before long, I was seeing myself in the basement of the fancy Tennessee hotel in October of 2018.
