BLUE SKYE

After years apart, two childhood friends are reunited– but will Skye settle for less than love and will Drew face his greatest fear?

Skye Taylor lives the artist life in Manhattan, openly gay and proud. Drew Adams, socially conservative and from one of Woodland Village’s wealthiest families, lives within the limits of his father’s expectations. A successful architect, Drew is content with his work and his marriage. The secret he desperately hides remains safely hidden behind lies and deception, so he thought.

Best friends in high school, Skye and Drew were inseparable. Quiet and serious, Drew was drawn to the outgoing Skye and his hippy loving parents. Then graduation night changes everything. Uncontrollable urges are discovered in a night of passion, a love Drew refuses to acknowledge, a love Skye refuses to deny. Skye leaves town, leaves Drew and leaves all his feelings behind. But he never forgot Drew and that one night that changed their lives.

Years later, painful memories surface with Skye’s arrival and Drew’s carefully constructed world begins to unravel.

RYAN’S HARBOR

One-night stands and pretty women don’t seem to give Ryan that buzz that it once did. When he meets his architect, Martin Pierson, there’s a deep connection that goes beyond friendship. Can they cross the barrier into love?

The boys of Woodland Village are back. This time it’s Drew’s brother, Ryan Adams, that’s going through a crisis of doubt. He’s always been the guy who breezed through relationships, never getting serious with the women he dates. He doesn’t know why, but one-night stands and pretty women don’t seem to give him that buzz like before.

Then one night, at his brother’s barbecue, he encounters Drew’s assistant, Martin Pierson. Martin agrees to design Ryan’s new building for his gaming company – Fantasy Arts. As they spend time together in and out of the office, their working relationship grows into friendship and something more. But Martin can’t forgive himself for causing his brother’s death to allow for love. Ryan wants to be Martin’s safe harbor, a steadfast place where Martin can heal his heart. But can Martin put his trust in the notorious playboy of Woodland Village? One-night stands and pretty women don’t seem to give Ryan that buzz that it once did. When he meets his architect, Martin Pierson, there’s a deep connection that goes beyond friendship. Can they cross the barrier into love?

JOHN’S MATCH

Fantasy writer Scott Marwick just might be John’s financial savior if John can convince Scott to sign over the character rights for a new computer game. John befriends Scott for one purpose — to get him to sign — never planning on falling in love. When John shatters Scott’s trust, can Scott forgive and move on from his past mistakes?

John Kramer discovers two guys humping on the hood of his Ferrari in the parking lot of the local gay bar. When he finds one of the pair alone and in a drunken stupor, John drives him home. To his surprise, the young man’s father is his new next door neighbor, Scott Marwick. Tempers flare when Scott accuses John of getting his son inebriated and taking advantage of him. John plans to never see the man again.

Then John’s boss flips out when he finds out the jerk next door is the Scott Marwick, a temperamental, but famous fantasy writer. The elusive author could save their company from financial ruin if they can get him to sign over his characters for a computer game. Ryan insists John befriend Scott, show him around the Village and get him to agree to a meeting.

The last thing Scott needs is friends. He moved to Woodland Village to forget about the past and to write. Since his partner’s death three years ago, he hasn’t written one word, and his agent, publisher, and fans are clamoring for the final book of his award-winning series. His life is spiraling out of control and he doesn’t know if he can finish his series. He doesn’t need the complication of love and he certainly wouldn’t associate his name with a computer game.

But when John’s life begins to fall apart, Scott must decide where his loyalties lie — with John or his principles.

Today Viki Lyn interviews the men of Woodland Village:

 

Blue Skye:  Skye Taylor-artist and Drew Adams-architect

 

Ryan’s Harbor:  Ryan Adams-owner of Fantasy Arts gaming company and Drew’s brother/Martin Pierson-Drew’s architectural assistant

 

John’s Match:  John Kramer  – CEO and VP of Fantasy arts/Scott Marwick-bestseller fantasy writer.

 

And there just might be another romance brewing at Fantasy Arts, Ryan’s computer gaming company, but that’s for another day.

 

Viki: I have the pleasure of living with all of you in my mind for months at a time. What I love is that you are all very creative, and John, before you argue, you’re a creative whiz when it comes to numbers. I’m envious of everyone’s successes and live vicariously through you guys!

 

Ryan: (Smirks) You mean you’re a gay man in a woman’s body?

 

Viki: I have been accused of that before. No, I’m an artist and writer, so I relate to creative types. Skye, you were the first character I thought up when I began to write Blue Skye. Then I created Drew. I wanted to do best friends fall in love, but it came out best friends are in love, then part, then find each other again!

 

Skye: (Laughing) Nice that you gave me a beautiful man in Drew, and who is not only beautiful but talented and as successful. And, fuck, I love my artist loft in Manhattan. That’s priceless.

 

Drew: Don’t forget your beach house in the Village.

 

Skye: Not just my home, but I think of it as ours. You were the one that renovated it. After all, you’re the best architect in the world.

 

Ryan: Hey, I beg to differ. (Takes Martin’s hand). Martin is fast surpassing you, Bro. Martin designed the amazing building for FA (Fantasy Arts), proof of his talent.

 

Martin: Need to add that I learned from Drew. That is the great thing about working with him. He shares his knowledge freely.

 

Viki: (Laughing) Okay, truce…both Drew and Martin are amazing architects. Ryan, you wouldn’t have such a wonderful partner in Martin if I hadn’t created such a talented guy. Ryan’s Harbor is a story of a man with a reckless reputation who is never satisfied in his relationships until he meets a man that stills his heart. Ah. And Ryan, you had to admit you fit the role of a player rather too well.

 

Ryan: Hey, that’s all in my past. And Martin, shit, he was just as big as a player. I bet he had more guys and I had women. And I have one bone to pick with you. Couldn’t you have made Martin a little more sentimental? Like Skye?

 

John: Just be thankful he’s not as prickly as Scott.

 

Scott: (Shrugs) Can’t argue there. I can be an ass at times.

 

John: Yeah, and Viki, you certainly made it difficult for us.

 

Viki: In John’s Match, I wanted to do something different. What happens when two people meet, and they hate each other at first sight? How do I bring these two couples together…it was such a fun challenge for me as a writer.

 

Scott: As a fellow writer, I can understand your reasoning.

 

John: Don’t take her side!

 

Scott: (Kisses John) Give Viki a break. She did get us to see reason.

 

Viki: Thanks Scott. (Smiles) And, thank you Skye, Drew, Ryan, Martin, John and Scott for being such a big part of my life. I love you guys!

Skye took out two glasses and cleaned them with his shirttail. He shoved the bottles back on the shelf and poured the brandy while shutting the cabinet door with his foot. He handed a brandy to Drew. Did he dare sit next to him? Or, should he play it cool?

Skye sank into the armchair across from Drew. Yeah. Better to play it cool.

Drew looked around the room. “This place has real possibilities. The location’s fantastic. Bay windows would open this room and bring in the ocean.”

“I don’t plan on living here.”

Drew swirled the brandy in his glass, the thick liquor coating the sides. “You’re not more than two hours away from New York by train.”

“It might as well be eight. It’s another world.”

“It’s your home.”

“Was my home. There’s no reason for me to visit, not anymore.”

Not when you don’t want me.
