The day before his coming-of-age ceremony, Eirik has a fight with his best friend—who had pointed out that, adopted by a pair of traveling warriors as Eirik was, how can he know who his ancestors are to celebrate them? Embarrassed and angry, he’s not in the mood for the story his fathers insist on telling him: The tale of the son of the god of Love who has never felt pain, and the son of the god of Envy who always does, how they struggle with each other and their community, and how, ultimately, they trick the underworld out of a very special prize. (m/m, fantasy, mythological, 20000 words)

Is he doing the right thing, when it may have caused the deaths of innocents? Why is his son skulking about, and what secrets is he keeping? And while Pel’s hands are full with this, a stranger comes to stay at his inn, one who makes the question more relevant than Pel ever imagined would be possible.

Happiness in Numbers is an anthology of queer polyamorous stories around a family theme! Among other stories (there are a pair of GREAT dads in the story “Heart & Parcel”, for example), my story “If Wishes were Fishes” is about a dad:

After fighting off evil spirits, unwilling psychic Keith would love to take his time and enjoy dating Lucas, the ghost attached to him, and Hiraeth, the deer-antlered immortal he met not long after being dragged into the world of the paranormal. But when Hiraeth’s son shows up asking for help with a curse, Keith’s got a lot more to deal with than just finding time for a date! (m/m/m, side m/f/m, urban fantasy/paranormal romance, 20000 words. Sequel to Empty Vessels, but can be read as a standalone.)
