THE PROTECTOR

 

A Buchanan-Ward Adventure

 

Soren Buchanan feels trapped by his relationship with the dangerous and sexy Jolina Miciano, a relationship his controlling father, crime boss James Buchanan, does not want Soren to end. Unwilling to be a pawn in his father's games, Soren decides to stop seeing Jolina. Bloodied and bruised for his defiance, Soren flees to the FBI for help. 

 

Mason Ward, security specialist and former US Army Ranger, lives a quiet life on a house boat docked off the island of Guam. Despite his lack of companionship, Mason believes he is living the life he's always wanted. Then a job comes Mason's way that will turn his life upside down: hide Soren Buchanan.

 

Protecting Soren should be easy enough for the experienced Mason, but Soren is young, seductive, and not entirely forthcoming about the trouble following him. Soon Mason fights not only his growing attraction to the young man but thugs sent to bring Soren Buchanan home … dead or alive.

PURGATORY

 

A joint writing venture – or, as some call it, a gay soap opera –

with my very good friends Ella, Reshenna and TR

 

Post World War III, countries no longer exist. Governments and militaries have been disbanded, cities renamed, laws changed to fit the whims and moods of those in charge: Mega-Conglomerates.

 

One such city is Purgatory. The ruling factions there have waged political wars over the rights to the city and its inhabitants. The current leader is Richter and Campbell, a pharmaceutical company with powerful resources and a group of law officers called Enforcers, which dominate the area and force Purgatory's citizens to abide by the law that has been handed down from R&C's Board of Directors.

 

The other faction, Band A. I. is a telecommunications leader. They are second only to R&C and have waged private internal wars with the giant conglomerate to obtain the vital territory called Purgatory.

 

This is the story of Purgatory and a select few of its inhabitants that dare to make a difference in the cold harsh world that is their reality.

INCOMPLETE
