Catching the Pitch

2016

“He never knew what he really needed was a man.” Eric Steiner is one of the top major league baseball prospects in the country. He was drafted #10 out of college and assigned to an A-level minor league team as a stepping stone to the big leagues. All of the pieces were falling into place except for personal relationships. Eric’s teammates think his most intimate connections are with his catcher’s mitt. “Why are you sending me to Madison, Wisconsin? Was it something I did? Sports photographer Theo Bachman is no stranger to the vagabond life. In fact, when he was growing up, he went to eight different schools before high school graduation. Now, he only sets down roots long enough to complete the latest assignment. It could be Toronto, San Francisco, or New York City, but Wisconsin? Theo thinks he’s been demoted to a second class assignment until he meets the Madison Pintails catcher. When Eric Steiner finds out Theo Bachman has been assigned to him for a sports journalism profile, something about the name rings a distant bell. When the pair finally meet, the connection is electric. Soon they are creating heat in the bedroom and trouble for their careers.

Home Run Holiday

2016

“Baseball was my life…and then I grew up.” Like thousands of kids, Nathan Buchanan played baseball into high school, but the gap between his skills and the average minor leaguer was just too much to overcome. Catering events for the local major league team was as close to a real baseball player as he thought he was ever going to get. “Who would have thought, in the belly of the rival team’s beast…I would meet him.” Drew Garza agreed to take part in a special event for needy children taking place in the home city of his team’s arch rivals. He thought his agent was crazy until he met Nathan. “The obstacles are just too much.” Sparks fly when Nathan meets Drew, but they both think the obstacles are too much for more than a weekend fling. That’s when Theo Bachman, with his partner, major league catcher Eric, and best friends Linc and Hudson, step in with a scheme, a cabin in the woods, and some holiday magic to break down the barriers for a most deserving couple. Home Run Holiday is a steamy 30,000 word romance novella with a happy ending. It is set in the world of the books Catching the Pitch and The Imperfect Game.

The Last Out

2017

I don't care how hard it is. I'm keeping my promise. Kyle Chambers, of the expansion baseball team the San Antonio RoadRunners, is nearing the end of a moderately distinguished pitching career. He is hoping for two or three more years out of his aging arm when a locker room altercation with a homophobic rookie results in an injured shoulder. Intensive physical therapy gets him back to the big leagues, but his performance is only mediocre. "Sometimes out is the only way up." Duncan Poole has been solving problems for others through statistical calculations in his head since childhood. After a stellar college career in mathematics, he enters the infant field of sabermetrics helping major league baseball teams by analyzing performance statistics. After meeting, Duncan agrees to help Kyle and the pair discover there is more than baseball between the rising statistician and the aging pitcher. Romance blossoms, but Duncan rebels against the idea of years in the closet. A deal is struck. He will guide Kyle's comeback season and pursue the romantic relationship if Kyle promises to come out before the season ends.

The Wedding Season

2017

For Eric Steiner, one of the best catchers in professional baseball, it’s a season of preparation for getting married. He proposed to Theo Bachman, his boyfriend of nearly two years, during spring training, and, after 162 games, the wedding will take place in the fall. Eric’s best friend and teammate Lincoln Kirby is equally adept at pitching. At the end of the previous season, in a “Wait ’til next year,” moment, he proclaimed the following season would be the one in which his team would make it all the way to the postseason. Reaching the postseason playoffs will require grit, determination, and, most of all, concentration. Meanwhile, the wedding preparations prove to be a little more than distracting. Theo’s plans for the biggest gay wedding ever bring in family, friends, past teammates, and fans from all over the country. Will Theo pull off the wedding of his dreams or will it all come crashing down among Linc’s demands for Eric’s concentration? Or…just perhaps…can everyone emerge as winners at the end of The Wedding Season. The Wedding Season is a 40,000 word novel featuring the main characters from four previous books - Catching the Pitch, The Imperfect Game, Home Run Holiday, and The Last Out. Of course, I would love for you to read all of those, but The Wedding Season can be read as a standalone without them. There are steamy scenes, no cliffhangers, and of course a happily ever after ending.
