Zach's alone, he's lost his job and the rent's coming due. He thinks he knows all about bad luck, but he's about to find out what it really means.
In high school, Mal was the golden boy. Then he lost his way. Now he's back on track, working his way through college and looking toward the future.
They've never met, but one summer night everything changes. They find themselves in desperate trouble, trapped and bound together in darkness.
The moon is riding high and bright in the sky when Zach notices Mal's changing, growing volatile and wild. Suddenly Zach's got bigger things to worry about than being kidnapped―he's trapped with a man who's going wolf with the full moon.
Genre: FICTION / GayBeneath the Neon Moon was released in 2010 and for six months ranked mostly within the top 10,000 ebook best-sellers at Amazon, and several times climing into the top 5,000 rankings.
In 2011 I reduced the price and saw the book make another climb.
Zach opened his eyes, blinking, and saw weak yellow light stretching down into darkness. He was on his side. He rolled on his back. For a moment it felt like the room rolled with him. The dizziness passed quickly, but hunger still gnawed at his gut. He wrapped an arm around his stomach and pressed in, which helped not at all.
He looked up at the light. It came from a window set high up in the opposite wall. His fingers brushed over cool, packed dirt beneath him. Maybe … a cellar. Yeah, he thought he was in a cellar.
Somebody put me down here and left me.
His heart raced, but he made himself stay still and quiet. He just needed to think, try and remember where he'd been last. He shut his eyes again and let his mind drift, doing his best to ignore his aching stomach. It was pretty persistent in not wanting to be ignored, growling and making protesting noises.
His head hurt, too, and he felt achy and stiff. This wasn't the first time he'd awakened not knowing where he was, though it wasn't something he was proud of. Party hearty, that's what he did, and too much of it since he lost his job. Getting to be like the old man.
And now he was God knows where, sitting in a dark hole and wondering how the hell he got here.
There was a sound, something like a drawn breath or maybe the rustle of clothing, and then movement right the fuck next to him. Zach's heart kick-started, pounding in his chest. He scrambled up, trying to get away. A chain rattled and his ankle jerked back, throwing him off balance. He fell to his knees.
