Synopsis – Priest and Pariahs

Ship Logs of the Santa Claus, Book Three

Costa McQuillen is a Pariah, a para-human with tech empathic abilities who has escaped from Earth, where being para-human is illegal—and marks him for extermination. Arrogant and standoffish, Costa is unable to trust anyone, but is willing to risk everyone’s safety to reach the planet Omoikane. His best solution: gaining passage on board the Santa Claus.

Arbor Kittering, the crew’s newest coding tech, is a medical oddity. With the technologies available to prevent birth defects, Arbor’s status as a dwarf brings the kind of attention he could happily do without. Having spent a short time in prison for data hacking and falsifying government files doesn’t help. The Santa Claus is his last chance at a new start, if he can decipher the strange malfunctions plaguing the ship.

Priest, the Santa Claus’ Head Pilot, is a bit of a scoundrel. Perpetually single, Priest is attracted to Costa for his exotic looks, and to Arbor for his unique qualities. In truth, he’d like to have both, but it’s clear such a thing isn’t in the cards. Now Priest needs to make a choice, before it’s too late.

This series just gets better and better.  I love all the characters in this series, and being able to follow how they are doing after their story is great.  I hope there are more in this series, as I don't want it to end.

Arbor is great, he has rather a chip on his shoulder due to his height, and I think sometimes he acts before thinking things through properly. It is like all people see is the fact he is a dwarf, but not the person inside, and people always assume that being small means he can't do things - nothing could be more wrong.

Costa.... hmm, what about Costa. I wasn't sure about him, there was something not right, but nothing I could put my finger on.  He is a para-human, which he is hiding from everyone as it would mean his immediate extermination.

Now Priest.... he really is a jack the lad, always getting himself into trouble, although I must say sometimes it is not his fault.  Priest is drawn to both Costa and Arbor for very different reasons.  Arbor has taken a total dislike to Costa, so there is no way that Priest would be able to have them both.

On a voyage to Omoikane, strange things begin to happen on the Santa Claus, although nobody knows why.  Arbor begins to get his suspicions about Costa, but has nothing concrete to back anything up. The situation isn't helped as Arbor is attracted to Priest, but just when he thinks he is getting somewhere with him, Priest seems to be back in bed with Costa. 

Costa has a huge secret, which could mean the end of the Santa Claus if Priest doesn't agree to help him.  Priest agrees to help, but it seems like Costa may have left things to late, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop the catastrophic events that will inevitably happen on the Santa Claus. 

This book will keep you hooked, and if you are like me, you will get annoyed with Priest, Costa and Arbor at times! I just could not put this down once I had started, and just had to know what was going to happen, and it totally wasn't what I expected..  I really do look forward to reading more in this series.

A Cook’s Tale

Picture
The trials and tribulations of the crew and passengers of interplanetary transport vessel, The Santa Claus continues in A Cook’s Tale.

After a horrific breakup, Erron Murfin is bitter, homeless, and friendless. When the cook’s position on the Santa Claus presents itself, Erron decides to escape his current circumstances and join the crew. On board he reconnects with family friend Gamin Wells, whose own secrets and issues begin to surface upon Erron’s arrival. The least of which is the reason the pair haven’t laid eyes on one another in over twelve years.

As Erron settles into his new duties, the men on board take an interest in their newest crew member. Among those intrigued by Erron are polyamorous couple, Barrus and James. Despite Erron’s cautious nature, he’s drawn into a triad relationship with the pair.

But there’s something about Gamin…

Is Erron too damaged to confront his own feelings?

Will his past prevent him from finding what he needs?

About the Author

Like many gay men, when Mann Ramblings grew up, there weren’t any heroes he could relate to. The world held him back while he tried futilely to hide the real person inside. So much has changed since those hollow days. He finally found his voice, the voice that says it’s all right to revel in the so-called inappropriate joys, laughs, and loves that storm inside a man’s head. It took a long time to find that courage and now that it’s here, he plans to use it well.

While spending years more focused on visual arts, he never let go of his innate passion for storytelling—he wanted to write and draw comic books when he grew up. Once he discovered M/M fiction, a whole new world opened with new possibilities. Why couldn’t you have fantastic and dynamic tales with an M/M cast? He started reading the online tales of authors like, Night Tempest, Rob Colton, and Alicia Nordwell, which only fueled within him the need to create. Eventually he found GayAuthors.org, and with a little coercive nudge from Night Tempest, started sharing his tales with an unexpected level of positive response. That experience and support gave him the courage to cross his fingers and aim for the world of M/M publishing.

Born and raised in Michigan, Mann Ramblings continues to type away, wishing it was practical to use a noisy, old fashioned keyboard that clacks with each strike, if only to annoy his loving partner and spoiled miniature dachshund.
