Book Description (Blurb)
Five authors have joined
together to produce stories evoking both loss and hope. Reaching deep within
their fiery imaginations, these stories take flight and showcase dreams for a
better today and future for LGBT everywhere. Embodying a diverse set of talents
and stories, this volume sets out to grab the hearts of those who read the m/m
genre and to offer hope to LGBT across the globe.
Frederick Eugene Feeley Jr’s “Indigent”, after which the
anthology takes it’s name, brings the reader to witness an apocalyptic war
between the good and evil that rages in one man’s mind. Soon he will know that
his problems are insignificant compared to those of others.
Mari Evan’s “Stumbling into Forever”, involves
a handsome young vampire who will learn that just a sip of blood is the
difference between love and freezing to death.
Leona Windwalker’s “If Only the World”, takes rejection to another level. A
heartbreaking story that is turned on it’s head by the kindness of strangers.
Shaye Evans’ “Rescued”, is a contemporary social
statement about the aftermath of a young man’s life after his drink has been
spiked at a bar.
M. LeAnne Phoenix’s “Higher Love”, takes us on an almost
spiritual journey through the minds of two people who have never met, but have
spoken on a telepathic level. When they do come together, that bond is
already cemented but there is a price to pay.
Author Information
Frederick Eugene
Feeley Jr
F.E. Feeley Jr was born and raised
in Detroit, Michigan and lived there
for twenty years
before joining the
military. He is
a veteran of the US Armed Services; having done a tour in support of Operation Iraq Freedom in 2002-2003, he turned college student,
pursuing a degree in political science. He now lives in Southeast Texas where he is married to the love of his
life, John, and where they raise their 1½-year-old German shepherd, Kaiser.
As a young man, reading
took center stage in his life, especially those novels
about ghosts, witches, goblins, and all the other things that went bump in the
night. His favorite
authors include such writers
as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Anne Rice, whose
work allowed him to travel to far off places
and meet fascinating and scary characters. As a gay man, he wishes to be
able to write good fictional literature for those who love the genre and to write
characters that readers can relate to. All in all, he is a cigarette smokin’,
whiskey drinkin’, rock and roll lovin’, tattoo wearin’ dreamer of a man with
a wonderful partner who puts up with his crap and lets him write his stories.
Mari Evans
Mari is a wife and the proud mother of a very active daughter, two
dogs and two cats. She’s a very social kind of girl, who loves to talk. It’s both
her best and worst quality.
From the moment she could read, she devoured books. Anything
goes, as long as it has a
happy ending.
There were always stories swirling
around in her head and as a child she
liked to lay in bed and let the characters have their story and happy ending. It wasn’t until 2013 that she actually tried to put one of the whole stories down
and submit it to a publisher. To her own surprise and excitement
it was accepted. This
gave her the drive to keep
going.
The decision to write m/m was made when a friend told a story about a young gay man that struck a chord, even as her husband had already encouraged her to try it earlier.
Now she found her passion,
having already found the love in her family and
friends, her life is completely chaotic,
crazy but wonderful.
Shaye Evans
Shaye is a proud Australian and best selling author of the M/M Romance genre.
At age nineteen,
Shaye found her love in the m/m genre when she read her
first M/M and was instantly hooked, but it took her an entire year to
begin writing her own. She has had five of nine short stories accepted to be published in 2014 alone. Something
she is very proud to admit—and who wouldn’t be
When not writing
or plotting her next piece, Shaye keeps busy by either reading one of over four-hundred
books in her collection, designing
her next book cover, or shopping. She one day dreams of being a paramedic and her
books making it to the movies!
Leona Windwalker
Leona is a long time staunch supporter of human rights and
environmental causes. Her favorite genre is m/m fiction and she particularly enjoys the sci fi, fantasy
and action suspense
sub-genres, especially if they have a nice seasoning
of romance. She has far too many books on her Kindle, has
overloaded her phone with even more, and when not reading,
writing, being driven to distraction by her children,
or being overlorded
by her three cats,
spends time trying to locate the portal that the sock monster uses to steal
socks from her dryer.
M. LeAnne
Phoenix
Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas in the mid-1970's, Ms. Phoenix was young and wild (and even free!) during the crazy wondrous decade known as the
1980's and the even crazier but now grungy decade of the 1990's. Music
is second only to the muses that live and breathe to fill her mind with beautiful
men, and music always helps
them to tell their stories. She is never without
her iPod or her computer
no matter where
she goes, although, she does like to hike and
take pictures of the sky and the moon, and even the occasional shot of the sun through the branches of
a tree.
An avid cat lover, Ms. Phoenix has been owned by many throughout her life, though her current owner is one Lily-Rose, who really would like for her to step away from the keyboard
and pay her some attention! After all, hasn't she earned it?
