The Pembroke Eve Chronicles
Book One: Shadows of the Mind
Synopsis:
Shadows of the Mind focuses on Jacob Theison, a young man who thinks he’s better than all the other folk who live in the picturesque town of Pembroke Eve. It’s no place for a modern guy and he wants to leave, try his luck on the greener pastures of ‘anywhere’ else.
That is until he realizes one thing. Deep down he’s just like everyone else, a country guy through and through. That realization comes just in time, because on a moonlit night a green glowing spaceship lands in Wilson’s field. Aliens, it seems, are real. But why are they in Pembroke Eve of all places? Pembroke is a nowhere place. And why is everyone acting weird all of a sudden, even more so that usual? Are the aliens’ friendly or do they have a more sinister reason for being here?
It seems Jacob is the only one who can see what’s
really going on. But why him? What’s so special about a gay guy living in
a small town? Sure, he’s never had a boyfriend, never been kissed for that
matter, so why? Curious, he goes to investigate the spaceship and gets far more
than he bargained for as soon as he gets over his back fence. His life will
never be the same again.
Shadows of the mind chronicles the adventures of Jacob, Callum, Zane, Suzy and Mr. Barnaby is available now from eXtasy books.

He parted and the taste of him lingered in my mouth for a long time after. I yearned for his contact again immediately, and wanted to kiss him again. I smoothed my hand across his chest. Okay, I wanted to be greedy. Why not? I wanted him to kiss me until I became asphyxiated by his passion. If I dropped dead now I would be satisfied. I had been kissed by a man.
"Did you like that?" he whispered.
I nodded. The pain from the twig no longer irritated me. I realised why, I was back on top of Callum, brushing my hands across his stubbled cheek. He had his arms around me, clutching me tight. "Yes," I replied.
"Did you want more?"
"Yes. Kiss me again."
Callum then let out a chuckle. "No. I was thinking of something else. I want to suck you off." He pecked me on my chin. "Then I want you to return the favour."
For the third time in as many minutes I was taken aback. That most certainly, without a shadow of a doubt, would have been the last thing I would have thought he was going to say.
Regardless of what I was feeling about any physical contact right now, I heard myself say, "I'd like that."
"Have you ever blown anyone before?"
I gulped. "No."
He licked his lips, smiled, then said, "I'll show you. You just copy me, okay?"
I got off him and stood up. Within seconds he reached down and began to unbutton my jeans. I couldn't believe what was happening, and I have to admit, I felt a little guilty considering Derek may need our help right about now. Before I could quantify my conscience, Callum took down my boxers. My cock was fully engorged and he was feeling the weight of it.
"You're a well equipped guy, Jacob."
All I could do at this moment, because my body had decided that it wanted to play, was let out a breath as I watched him hold my cock. My stomach quivered as he pulled back my foreskin to reveal my bright red head he so wanted to get at. He rubbed his fingertips over my sensitive skin, sending shudders of delight through me.
"Fuck!" I wheezed as soon as he took me into his mouth.
If I thought his kiss was awesome, this was fucking amazing. His tongue rolled around my cock continuously as he worked his lips up and down my length. His fingers both gripped and pulled at the root of my dick, causing my skin to tighten more and more with each pass over me he made with his mouth. He had certainly done this before.
He slurped and made funny guttural noises as he sucked, but I didn't care. I was numb. My cock tingled from all the attention, and I knew I would shoot my load soon. Did I do it in his mouth? Was that the right thing to do? I had absolutely no idea the etiquette involved here.
I groaned louder to try and make him aware that I was near climax. He didn't slow. In fact, he moved harder and faster over me. My fucking God, I was gonna fill every inch of him with my cum until it came out his ears. I was certain I was going to offload enough to do so, too.
Book Two: Light of the Body
Synopsis:
Jacob and Callum, now living together with Jacob's parents, are disturbed by a dog barking in the distance one night while getting intimate.
Jacob finally insists they investigate the reason for the dog barking and a strange man confronts them as they venture into their backyard. The events that follow are completely weird to say the least, even for Pembroke Eve standards. The man bites Callum in the scuffle that follows, and as Jacob soon finds out, that bite is a transference.
Callum is now pregnant!
In fact, the whole town have been infected, with half acting like living zombies and the other half in the hospital in the same condition as Callum. What is causing this outbreak? Only Jacob and his friends, Zane and Mr. Barnaby seem to be unaffected. But they need to find Suzy. She's missing and the townsfolk that are the living zombies have been saying: "Suzy is the right one."
What is she the right one for? And what's more, are these events all connected?

Zane looked rattled, but tried to hide his emotions by stretching, pretending he was still in the process of waking up. The sight of him flexing in front of me was…how can I say it? Attractive. His armpits, with their little tufts of black hair sprouting out of his white skin were so darn cute. I had always liked how he’d pierced his nipples. I’d never seen a man with pierced nipples before, not in real life, anyway.
His demeanour changed, his glare intent on me. He shrugged his shoulders, as if he’d resolved whatever it was he was thinking about. “Sure, you can do whatever you like to make yourself feel better. I’m here for you, buddy. So, is Cal okay? Really, I mean, he’s gonna be fine, right?”
I sat down on his unmade bed. He lifted up his arms to stretch some more. I got the distinct impression he was showing off for me. I didn’t mind. He was the coolest straight guy I knew—well, I think he’s straight. “I think he’ll be fine,” I repeated. “The doctor reckons he got to him in time—say, you seen Suzy today?” I didn’t want to tell him everything yet. I don’t think I’d be able to remain composed if I recounted the story so soon. Besides, there’d be plenty of time for that later.
“Nope.” His boxer shorts slid down off his thin bony hips when he sucked in his stomach. I could now see his thick, dark public hair above the elastic. “Normally, she ain’t over till after ten o’clock. Mainly ‘cause I don’t get my arse outta bed till then anyway and she don’t see the point prodding me into action.”
“I see,” I said, kind of half-heartedly. I didn’t mind his show, but I was also becoming concerned with Suzy’s whereabouts. An uneasy feeling tickled at the nape of my neck. “You spoken to her lately?”
“Nope,” he repeated. “I was about to go to her place, seein’ as I got woken up and all by the Prime Minister bashin’ on my door this morning. You wanna join me?” He winked at me.
“Yeah, that’ll be good.” Having him come with me was a good idea. I needed all the support I could get. Besides, there was no way I was going to get any rest now. My mind turned over and over with all the things that had happened since…well, I tried not to think about it. “After we’ve done that, we’ll all go see Callum, see if he’s awake. Doctor says he should have his friends and loved ones around him when he does.”
“Sounds cool by me. Anything for my buds. But I think you should tell me everything that happened with Cals. Sounds serious if you ask me.” He wrinkled up his nose. “Say I’ve gotta change out of my old boxers first. I slept in these ones and they stink. I kind of did a bit of whacking off last night dreaming of…stuff. You don’t mind if I change, do you?” Right there and then, he pulled down his boxers.
I gasped.
, links .Book Three: Time of the Soul
Synopsis:
This time the townsfolk are celebrating the Spring Dance. An event that will hopefully kick away the worries of past incidents in the town. Although, even an occasion such as the Spring Dance can't remain uneventful for long, especially because this is Pembroke Eve, after all.
Unfortunately, for Jacob things are about to get really weird as a pan-dimensional being whisks him away just as Corey Harrington decides to make a scene at the dance and start throwing punches. The being, who also happens to fall in love with Jacob, shows him a different past, a possible present and a future he must choose. But the consequences of the being's love is more than Jacob can handle or allow to happen. He will lose all of his friends and a life he thought he had if he accepts the being.
Something he knows cannot possibly happen.
Jacob is alone, without Callum or Zane or Suzy this time. Even Mr. Barnaby and his strange friend can't really help in the alternate reality the being has created to woo Jacob into his web. In the end, Jacob must resort to making a deal with the devil--his arch enemy Corey Harrington--and use all of his wits to make sure his life is as it should be before the being discovers his plan and decides that Jacob no longer deserves his affection...or his life.

Excerpt:
I don’t know whether I said yes or not, but in what seemed an instant, I was in some sort of house overlooking the ocean. I guessed we were on the golden mile in Thomas’s home. It was lavish, probably too nice. Everything looked expensive, from the pictures on the walls to the vases on display on fancy plinths. Even the furniture looked as though it belonged in a ritzy show room.
“Welcome to our home,” he said nonchalantly as he threw his jacket over the nearest chair.
Again I was confused. “I really don’t know this place. I really don’t know you, to be honest. This is all just too much for me, I’m sorry.”
“Perhaps this will help refresh some of those memory cells of yours,” he said with a voice so sultry and manly at the same time I think that alone would have got me hard had it not been for the fact he pulled down his pants right there and then, taking the initiative and getting his clothes off first.
Thomas was a fine man, skinny yes, perhaps too skinny like Zane, but I didn’t care. What was before me pleased me to no end. Then again, I liked that sort of frame on a guy, so it would have been a pleasure no matter what. He was hard, yet his foreskin, a nice pucker tip, remained over his head even in his obvious state of arousal. He had shaved his pubic hair, too. Not too much, more of a trim, a neatening up of anything out of place he might grow. I liked it.
“Geez, you’re damn fine,” I said with a gasp as I went closer to him.
Seeing him like this was different, one that had only been possible in my dreams before this day.
“And I’m all yours, my darling.” He slipped off his shirt. His nipples were hard. God he was hot. His chest was hairless, but his stomach had a delightful little snail trail of blonde hair from his naval. He was a geeky guy, lanky and somewhat awkward no question, but there was a charm about him as well. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but as I stared at him, taking in his awkward beauty, I noticed his almost white hair and eyebrows complemented his milky complexion perfectly. He even had freckles over his body to match those on his nose. Perhaps that was it, he was different and I celebrated that difference. You could even say he was an albino, although his eyes were a gorgeous deep blue and his hair did have some colour, even though only a pale blond. Yep. He was different.
“But I don’t know you. You don’t know me. How did we ever get to this? When did we ever get to this?”
“I’ll show you the how.”
He undid my belt. Seconds later, my pants were at my ankles and he fumbled in my underwear for my cock. I stirred well before he grabbed it and brought it out of my clothes for him to feast his eyes upon and enjoy.
“But…but.” My protest was a weak one. I wanted to see where this would go. My animal instincts took over my reason. My lust rose up to control me. I loved that feeling.
“I want to join with you,” he said, his voice rather hard I had to admit considering the circumstances. This was supposed to be an intimate moment.
I was somewhat disappointed by his words. “Don’t you believe in foreplay, then?”
“You don’t understand.”
“Yeah, I do. You want to fuck me and that’s the sum of it all. Right?”
“No. I said join not copulate. There is a difference.”
As I was about to ask him to clarify what he meant, he retracted my foreskin, revealing my beautiful moist red head. Pre-cum dribbled from my piss slit. I shuddered, the sensation of the cool air touching my sensitive skin was very erotic and I couldn’t wait to see what he would do to me next, if indeed the joining was something different to a fuck.
He retracted his own foreskin. I think I was beginning to understand. Geez, he wanted to cock dock. So he did believe in foreplay. I’d never been docked before and my mind turned with delightful thoughts about how this would feel.
How wrong was I?
When he touched his cock onto mine, electricity charged from him into me, transmitted easier by our pre-cum. Bright energy arcs passed from him into me. He rolled my foreskin over his head to cover it. Pins and needles consumed my body and my heart beat loud in my ears. More and more jolts of energy entered my body from his cock. I yelped. My balls ached and my stomach churned.
“What…is…this?” My lips were so numb I couldn’t form words properly. I realised I was being propped up by the wall, otherwise I think I would have slumped onto the floor. I was unable to control my muscles and could only watch as he continued to do whatever it was he was going to do to me.
He smiled and stared deep into my eyes as he rolled his foreskin over me, locking our cocks together. We had joined. When he let his hand go, because they were no longer needed to keep our cocks together, I experienced something different.
No longer did it feel as though electricity was coursing through me. Rather, it felt as though I were being siphoned, as if some sort of energy was being taken out of me. It felt as though my blood, my life force was being taken from me. Or was he draining away my sexual energy? Was he taking my cum? I didn’t feel the pangs of ecstasy, far from it. No, this was something else. But what?
Being pressed against the wall I had nowhere to go. He held my hands tight above me to stop me from manually breaking our join. I was too weak to resist him anyway. My vision blurred from the effects of what he was doing. I couldn’t handle the sensation of being siphoned any more. I had to get his foreskin off my cock, break the docking, before he drained me completely. I could feel my life ebb away.
I squirmed, pressing my arse against the wall, trying to gain some distance between us. Pain shot up from my cock. My foreskin stretched over his head. Any movement caused great discomfort.
“Don’t,” he yelled, his voice acidic and filled with disapproval. “Not yet. I haven’t completed the transfer.” He came closer to me. Our cocks stayed connected, the tightness of his foreskin over me making doubly sure the seal wasn’t easy to pull away from. He knew I wouldn’t have been able to break our connection without using my hands and I didn’t fancy a split foreskin, so I couldn’t pull away. I had no choice but to wait for him to complete whatever it was he was doing.
Book Four: Fire of the Heart
Synopsis:
Jacob, Callum and Zane are packing up for the night in the Food Emporium, when Mr. Barnaby bursts in proclaiming Aloysius is missing. Where could a twenty foot dragon have disappeared to in a small town like Pembroke Eve? And what’s more, when Jacob and the gang go to investigate, they are sucked into a wormhole that so happened to materialise right in the main street of the town. Coincidence? Hell yes!
The vortex is a one-way ticket to the dragon realm, where the problems for Jacob and his friends have only just begun. Why? Well, they’ve walked right into a time when the realm is at its greatest unrest, their leader, Aloysius, no longer there to guide them. If only Jacob could ask Mr. Barnaby for advice. Trouble is, he’s disappeared now, too!
To top it all off, Jacob unwittingly accepts an advance by a dragon shifter warrior named, Nottolu. The warrior claims Jacob as his mate and it’s up to Callum, his fiancé, to claim him back…even if it means his death.
Everything becomes a race against time. The gang must work together to find not only Aloysius and Mr. Barnaby, but to get Callum and Jacob back together, too. All before an all out war threatens to destroy everything, even the hope of ever returning to Pembroke Eve.
Can anything else go wrong? There is no doubt...

EXCERPT:
“Hey, look!” Zane called out, gesturing toward the sky.
A dragon, as white as the snow on the mountains, came down to land in front of us. I had never seen one with wings. Then again, my experience with dragons was limited to my knowledge of Aloysius. He was a walking dragon, as he so eloquently put it one day when I asked him why he couldn’t fly.
The breeze increased for a moment, the flap of its wings fanned my skin. I realised the air was tropical, and I could see why we didn’t need clothes. Wearing anything in this heat would have been uncomfortable and I would have stripped down after a while anyway.
“Look at the size of the mother fucker,” Zane said, taking the words out of my mouth.
The dragon coming toward us was indeed huge, all scales and teeth and claws. I’d say it was as big as Aloysius, if not more. I stepped back, taking Callum with me. What the dragon did next surprised me beyond words. It turned into human form.
It was a male. His skin a stunning white, just like the dragon had been a few moments ago. Why the purple light didn’t reflect off him I had no idea. But there he was. He was also naked. If I were to put it into human terms, as that is now what he was, I’d say he was handsome in a funny sort of way. He had white hair, deep red eyes and, to top it all off, his skin was smooth and hairless. Not even a tuft of hair sprouted from where his pubes should have been. His muscles flexed as he walked. He was damn fit. Even his cock was a sight to behold, one to rival Zane’s fine equipment. I gasped. The dragon man’s foreskin was unlike Zane’s though. His covered his glans, forming a nice pucker tip, just like Callum’s and my own.
When he was closer to us, the dragon man smiled, then said in smooth, yet deep voice, “Welcome to the realm of dragons and the hold of the Clan of the Light. I am Devlyn, flyer for the Mountain Cradle tribe.”
If I thought him turning from a dragon into a human was something to make me open my mouth in awe, what he did next was something I shall never forget for the rest of my life.
When he was close enough, he kissed my earlobe and at the same time grabbed my cock, shook it twice, then let it go. He did the same to Callum and Zane. Was this how dragons welcomed each other? Damn. Sure beats a hand shake. Good thing I was naked. I think I would have reacted differently if Devlyn had unzipped my pants and began rummaging around in my underwear just to say hello.
Book Five: Hope of the Spirit
Synopsis:
Jacob, Callum and Zane are desperate to rescue Mr. Barnaby from the eternal realm and possible possession by one of the time vampires. That means traveling through a portal once more...something that didn't go all that well the first time.
Unfortunately for Jacob and all of his friends, the only key to Mr. Barnaby's savior is in the haunted lighthouse far out in the rough waters of Pembroke Bay. A place where legend says those who venture never come back. What's more, not only is the town of Pembroke Eve at stake, but the lives of every person on the planet hang in the balance as the eternals put into place their plan to take over the human realm. Yes, the eternals want power, but they're pissed off as well, having lost hope of taking over the dragon realm thanks to Jacob and his friends.
Meanwhile, Aloysius and Suzy must hold the fort at home, looking after both the General store and the Food Emporium. After all, a shipment of noodles at a bargain price has just hit town and who else will hold back the crowd in Mr. Barnaby's absence while Jacob, Callum and Zane go rescue him?
Sure, Jacob may be a king and the younger brother of powerful dragon, but can he and those he loves survive long enough in the lighthouse to discover the key they need? Or will they become the next victims of the curse of the lighthouse?
The gang are in for the fight of their lives this time...with unexpected results.
