A happy rainy Saturday to you! Hope you’re snuggled down with a book somewhere.

Here’s another snippet from my story “Norwegian Woody,” the fourth book in the Let It Beatle series (titles based on songs by The Beatles). Rafe and Woody are talking over dinner. (from Woody’s point of view)

Rafe swirled spaghetti around his fork. “Can I ask you something?”

I got him another soda from the fridge and more water for me. “Sure.”

“When was the last time you went out with a guy? Or even to a club?”

“It’s been a while. I’m fine with things as they are.”

“Really? You’re okay being alone? Don’t you have…needs like everybody else?”

“Sure.” I grinned. “That’s what my fist is for.”

He rolled his eyes. “I’m serious. After all you’ve been through, you deserve to be with a…man who would move heaven and earth and love you beyond reason.”

I was surprised that he would say this. It was so far outside his comfort zone, it wasn’t funny. Still…“After the things you’ve done, the way you’ve made fun of me, I’m not sure how to take that.”

Rafe winced. “I know, and I understand. I meant it, though.”

I leaned back in my chair to study him. He seemed sincere. “Okay.”

“Thank you.”

It’s Saturday!! Time change tomorrow – are you ready? I sure as hell am not.

Here’s a snippet from my story “Norwegian Woody,” the fourth book in the Let It Beatle series (titles based on songs by The Beatles), re-released today by JMS Books. A/N: Serge is Woody’s best friend, and Rafe is Serge’s brother.

Serge leaned forward. “Woody, you remember how Rafe reacted when you came out, and then when I came out? Worlds
apart, right?”

“Yeah, I remember.” It hadn’t made any sense at the time. “So?”

“I think he’s hiding something.”

“Duh.”

“No, I mean something that even he’s not aware of, and it has to do with you. He doesn’t treat any other members of the gay population in this town, me included, the way he does you. He’s never made crass jokes to me, only you. He’s always teased you, singled you out. Think about that.”

I considered our recent kiss, but shoved that back down. I laughed humorlessly. “Don’t tell me that you think he’s been attracted to me this whole time and just didn’t know it. What’s this, grade school? A boy likes another boy and he puts snails in his desk to show he cares? I call bullshit, my friend.”
