Somewhere in a small town in up-state New York are a librarian and a second grade teacher to whom I owe my life. That might be a touch dramatic, but it’s nevertheless one hundred percent true.Because they taught me the joy of reading, of escaping into worlds crafted of words.Have you ever been nine years old and sure of nothing so much as that you don’t belong? Looked at the world from behind glasses, and wondered why you don’t fit?Then turn the page and see... there you are, running from Injun Joe in a dark graveyard; there you are fencing with Athos; there you are...beneath the deep blue sea- marveling at exotic creatures with Captain Nemo.I found myself between the pages of books, and that is why I write now, it’s why I taught English and literature for so many years, and it’s why my house contains more pounds of books than furniture.If I’d had my way, I’d have been a fencer...or a starship captain, or a lawyer, or a detective solving crimes. But instead, I am a writer, and that’s the best thing in the world to be if you ask me, because as a writer, I can be all those things and more.If I hadn’t learned to value the stories between the pages, who knows what would have happened? Certainly not college...teaching...or writing.

A Gentleman Never Does
Prologue
Late afternoon sunshine filtered in thorough the loft window and glittering dust motes swam in front of Gareth Belmain's eyes. The scents and sounds of the barn went on around them, leaving them cocooned in the safety of their own little world. Gideon lay stretched out on the straw in front of him, mouth soft and puffed from kissing, eyes sparkling with happiness. They'd come up here before going back into the house after their ride because once inside with his family they'd be unable to touch. Touching was so new to them, Gareth hated giving it up. He wanted more of this time together. I don't want to go back to Town this weekend.
Gideon smiled up at him, and Gareth's heart skipped a beat. You don't have to. My parents are expecting me, but I can tell them you had to stay in the country on business.
Startled, Gareth glared. Did Gideon really not understand that he wanted the time with him, not the time at home? The grin on his lover's face relieved him. Rolling, Gareth launched himself at Gideon, who caught him easily.
Warmth and hardness seeped through their clothes, and Gareth felt clearly the evidence of Gideon's arousal against his own. He groaned. Their lips rubbed together in a searing kiss. His mouth parted eagerly, and with a hungry moan, he sucked in Gideon's tongue. The hard bands
