Is Love truly ‘Love is Love’?
Blurb
Journalist Carter Roberts was required to interview Carl Foltz and Matt Evans for an article on their lives. It was not an assignment he relished: he just wanted to get there, get it done and get out. Thinking about the subject matter made his stomach churn. The interview reveals as much about himself as about the two men, and for the first time, Carter learns what a real home feels like. He never would have expected that meeting the two men would change his way of thinking – and his life – forever.
Excerpt
I hated assignments like this—where I had no choice in the matter. There were fellow colleagues of mine who told me how lucky I was, because most of the time, I had the privilege of picking my own stories to write. Only occasionally had I bowed before the powers that be and completed a story that I had to do. This, however, took the cake.
While most of my graduating class was still out looking for work in journalism, I was getting ready to celebrate my second year with an internationally known magazine, writing featured articles. Of course, it was a gay publication, and most would consider that not real journalism. However, I would wager that those who said that had never read it either. And while they were shacked up with their parents, sending out resume after resume, I was pulling down a decent pay check, usually with an article in print every month. I shouldn’t be complaining. Right?
Thinking again about the subject matter and where I was headed made my stomach churn. I remember having a professor lecture on being objective to any article and not letting personal beliefs get in the way of telling the true story, but I bet he’d never had to deal with this subject matter. I personally thought it was disgusting, perverted, and so far out there that no one would want to read about it for those very reasons. I tried to put myself in the same situation, and it made me so sick to my stomach this morning that I couldn’t even eat breakfast, it so turned me off. Hell, it was all I could do to get some coffee down.
I flew into Louisville, Kentucky, the night before so I could get an early start this morning. I hoped I would be able to do this interview quickly, getting enough information so I could pump out a decent article—at least decent enough to keep my editor happy. Then getting the hell out and away from here was my goal. So here I was, in a rental car at seven a.m., following the GPS to some Podunk place in Indiana, just over the border of Kentucky. From what I could find out during my research, this place wasn’t even in a city. The closest town was twenty-five miles away and calling it a town was being generous. The closest decent sized city was Louisville, and that was almost one hundred and fifty miles away. What kind of life could a gay man have that far from civilization? Didn’t take me but a minute to understand that, because of the life this couple lived, they would want to be secluded—would have to be.

Only a select few in the human world knew of the existence of the V-Unit, a small group of highly trained Marines – who happened to be vampires.
And it would have stayed that way.
But when events in the vampire world threatened the stability of the human world, the powers that be called for the unit’s specialized services.
An intrepid war correspondent, Bronson Rudan, who’d seen more than his fair share of fighting, stumbles across the unit by accident, and is drawn into their world.

At least, that was the plan…
