A Special Project by Dreamspinner Press & ManLoveRomance Press. Edited by Kris Jacen. How much impact can someone have on your life if you’ve never met them face to face? In this electronic age of E-mails, electronic publishing, and social networks, quite a lot. Through his emails, stories and blog, author Patric Michael has touched numerous hearts, minds and lives from the start of his career and further as he now takes us along on his journey to battle cancer. Along the way, Patric shows us a side of life that not many truly see—how we are all a part of something larger than just ourselves, and how we are each touched by others for the betterment of all. Now, those that have been touched by Patric and his words have joined together to give something back, to him and to us all through something he values highly – words. In this compilation, gay short stories, poems, and anecdotes combined with excerpts from Patric's blog and a few entertaining, educational group posts reveal, and celebrate, the man who has touched so many hearts and minds. This collection, sometimes erotic, sometimes irreverent, and always poignant, is a gift from all our hearts to celebrate Patric and give strength (and a little levity) to others. The price reflects this; no one is receiving royalties or payment from the sales. Use it to celebrate life, celebrate words, and possibly inspire someone who needs it.Just Being by Jamie SammsPatric Hates AIM by Jacqueline LichtenbergWhen Angels Fall by ZA MaxfieldSo If You‘re Sand, Not Rock by C.

Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information. romance author Jan Irving has worked in all kinds of creative fields, from painting silk to making porcelain ceramics, to interior design, but writing was always her passion. She feels you can’t fully understand characters until you follow their journey through a story world. Many kinds of worlds interest her, fantasy, historical, science fiction and suspense—but all have one thing in common, people finding a way to live together—in the most emotional and erotic fashion possible, of course!

Taylor Lochland
Taylor Lochland
Author · 5 books

Taylor has been reading and writing for as long as she can remember. As a child and a teenager, she spent many weekends holed up in her room with her books. If she didn’t like something about a story, she’d often take it upon herself to write her own version. As an adult, she wrote a bit of fanfiction, but quickly discovered creating her own characters was more fun. She’s lived in the Detroit metropolitan area her entire life. When she’s not reading or writing (or working at the evil day job), she can often be found playing with her bird or her cats, walking, sewing, looking at the night sky, taking pictures of the birds in her backyard, volunteering at a wildlife rehab, or watching baseball or hockey. Taylor is most creative after midnight but unfortunately has a job that usually requires her to be awake by 7:30 a.m. She just knows that the sleep deprivation will catch up to her one of these days.
