New Novel: Cupid in Captivity


Billy doesn't care that he was kidnapped by a fellow student, even after an unofficial investigation identifies his abductor, Jonas. Billy protects Jonas through high school and into adulthood when they both embody a great deal more money. Billy resolves problems for the wealthy elite. Jonas is a renowned photographer. Yet repercussions of that earlier deed persist, demanding retribution or reenactment.

With hints of satire and myth, the story of Billy and Jonas attests to the unanticipated and unique links that arise and survive between human beings, links that last for years and transcend labels.

Can the captor and captive fall in love? Why shouldn't they? Who gets to decide? Impacted by media, societal, and legal expectations, these two soulmates call for an unanticipated, transformative resolution.

Available on Amazon.

The second novel in this series, Ithax's Offspring on Mars, will be released in April, hopefully on April 12, 2021, the first day that a human--Yugi Gagarin--entered space. 

The books are not related by genre or characters. They range from suspense to space sci-fi to contemporary fantasy. However, they are thematically related. They satirize human attitudes that attempt to label and categorize events and personalities at the expense of experience, transcendence, and individuality. 

Romance is larger than petty politics.
