Included in this edition:

The Gospel According to Gray Collins
Gray was thirteen when the boy with tangled hair entered his life, bringing with him chaos and confusion, and the cutest butt this side of the border. Between passing notes at school, spending four nights a week together at church, and sharing their weekends, Kent consumed Gray’s life. They were once inseparable, and until recently, Gray thought they always would be. Now, things have changed. Now, Kent’s got a girlfriend. The future that once burned so beautifully in the distance is burning down to ash, and no matter how hard Gray tries, he can’t put out the flames.

We Burn Beautiful
Kent Fox is not okay. Thanks to a botched selfie swap, thousands of his colleagues have borne witness to a photo of his sock-covered crotch. Branded a professional pariah, he’s had to move home with his mother, and the only job the 38-year-old, over-the-top, former executive can land is stocking shelves at a grocery store. To make matters worse, his new boss is none other than his ex-gay ex-boyfriend. Fabulous. Just freaking fabulous.

The Sleepover
One night. It would only be one night. An evening to say goodbye to the boy Gray lost and the man who returned. With a ring in his pocket and a breaking heart in his chest, Gray invites Kent for one final Saturday night sleepover to rival the ones they shared as children. There will be Spice Girls. There will be merriment. There will be no cuddling.

An Unhinged Wedding
A wedding (and honeymoon) twenty years in the making.
