Three Day Passes

2003

What do a lifer Marine and a cowboy flight nurse have in common? They love to play, with each other, and occasionally with someone else they bring home. Rock and Rig are two rough and ready boys, as tight as any two lovers can be, living and loving and feeding their pizza and beer habit every chance they get. Then Rock brings Dick home. Dick is a sweet cherry Marine, so green he's wet behind the ears. Rig and Rock have enjoyed their games in the past, but somehow Dick is different, worming his way into their lives and eventually into their hearts. It's not easy being three, especially when the only time they get to spend together is on a Marine's three day pass. Still, all of them fight to make it work, despite the worries of any gay military man, the physical distance that's sometimes impossible to bridge, and the wounded feelings of the one who feels left out, whichever one that is. Rock, Rig and Dick may not be great at showing their feelings, but they manage to get them across physically, their touches meaning so much more than just a roll in the hay. Let these boys draw you in and never let you go, carrying you through the good times and the bad.

Tempering

2003

Life should be nothing more than lazy Sunday afternoons and lots of hot sex for these two Marines and their favorite Redneck, but life never goes the way it should. Tempering explores what happens when life takes a hard left turn for Alex "Rigger" Roberts, Jim "Rock" South, and Dick Main, characters who appeared in the previous Sean Michael novel, Three Day Passes. This story stands on its own, testing the strength of the relationships between these extraordinary men as a single event shatters their world and makes them build it over again, stronger than before. When Rigger is caught in a savage act of violence, Rock, Dick, and Rigger all have to face things they'd rather not. Mortality. Hate. And their crumbling relationships, which they're not sure they can save. All of the wonderful heat and humor expected from these characters is in Tempering, but so is a core of pure steel that makes them not only likeable, but admirable.

Often referred to as "Space Cowboy" and "Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the moniker of "Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting, organizing his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring on a small secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While collecting vast amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles away the hours between dropping the f-bomb and persuing the kama sutra by channeling the long lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the soundtrack to "Chicago." A long-time writer of complicated haiku, currently Sean is attempting to learn the advanced arts of plate spinning and soap carving sex toys. Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories, thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.
