Western Historical (working title) – Okay, you knew I just had to try a western historical, right? Desolate soddie dweller Cal is only a heartbeat away from giving up on life entirely. He’s lost his wife and kids and the will to survive life on the bleeding edge of the frontier. He spends his days grinding out the barest living, and at night he sits in the small family cemetery and looks up at the stars, trying to gather the courage to end it.
When saddle tramp and natural philosopher Laurent happens by and sees him sitting there, he’s fascinated. What could make any man a live in a house made of earth and spend his evenings among his dead? He wonders if he should intervene, because as he spies on the man a third night in a row, he begins to fear the farmer might take his own life.
Cal is living with grief and guilt and the most terrible secret he can imagine. Laurent, who has a secret of his own, is fleeing from a life where he’s shunned, into the west, where he can “explore both nature and humans to his heart’s content as long as he honors the one and stays away from the other.”
Two men, one secret, and a chance to start over in a place so new that it hasn’t been named yet.
(Like this book… which I haven’t named yet either.)

And finally, at long last… and mostly because someone triple dog dared me to write this:
Love’s Festering Inconvenience – Beloved romance writer Celestia St. Lynne is getting a lifetime achievement award from the the Writers of Romantic Fiction, which is a huge problem because she has no idea she’s written the books. Her son Hammett has been the one writing under her pen name since he was in college, when they were in a car accident from which he was the only true survivor. Since that day, “Celestia” has lain in a coma in an expensive care facility which he can only afford thanks to his duplicity, as it’s his books that have catapulted her onto the NY Times bestseller list.
The only people who know the true state of things are his agent and his editor. Not even his publisher is aware of the charade, and they’ve geared up for on an all-out blitz of cocktail parties and festivities in her honor during the national Writers Of Romantic Fiction conference which is all set to take place in their hometown of Portland Oregon.
Celeste’s publishers have planned a huge surprise party, but the biggest surprise comes when the actress Hammett hires to play Celeste turns out to be a stunning local female impersonator named Axel Starr who — while he might tread the boards as a broad — is all man and about to turn Hammett’s life completely upside down.
