Forever After


J.M. Snyder - 2008
    M. Snyder invites you to visit two very different worlds where love conquers all. Forever After, which combines Snyder's romantic gay novellas Persistence of Memory and The Regent's Knight, both previously available only in electronic format, is for readers of speculative fiction who enjoy stories in which love prevails, whether in a dystopic future or a distant fantasy land!......Persistence of Memory (A Fallen Angels Reviews Recommended Read and a 2008 EPPIE Award Finalist in the GLBT Category! In a future where the government 'culls' citizens at random and erases their memories to create perfect soldiers, Joah somehow remembered one thing. His name. Armed with that alone, he escapes from the facility in search of someone to help him recall the man he used to be. What he finds is a loving husband who never stopped searching for him and who will do anything to bring back the Joah he still loves. But can the love they once shared possibly survive the self-destruct chip in Joah's brain that was triggered at his escape?)......The Regent's Knight (Amery is the only son of the king of Pharr and regent in his father's absence. When barbarian tribes threaten the castle, he calls his most daring knights to his side, including Sir Tovin, his secret lover. Such a relationship is forbidden--Tovin is another man, and his station does not befit a prince. To hide their relationship, the prince and knight stage public arguments and fights, then reconcile in the regent's chambers. But as war approaches, Amery must decide whether to take his rightful place on the throne or forsake his kingdom for the love of one man.)

The Powers of Love, Book I: Origins


J.M. Snyder - 2008
    Something about Matt brings out the best in Vic--literally. Every time they have sex, Vic gains new superhuman powers from his lover. Can they learn to live with these abilities without losing each other? Previously available only in electronic format, these three stories in J. M. Snyder's best-selling series, The Powers of Love, have now been combined for a paperback edition! Included are the tales......The Powers Of Love (The story that started it all, a winner in the 2007 Amber Quill Heat Wave Contest. When Vic meets Matt for the first time, sparks fly. When they finally consummate their relationship, there's no denying the energy between them. But the next morning, Vic awakens to find his mind crowded with a myriad of thoughts, none of them his own. After their second night of making love, Vic is filled with unparalleled strength. Oh, and now he can fly. Just what exactly is going on here? And how does he tell Matt without alienating his new lover or ruining their budding relationship? Or does Matt know something he, himself, is only now discovering?)......Matching Tats (Vic's latest tattoo makes Matt decide he might want to get inked, too. He'd like a heart with his lover's initials in it. Vic likes the idea, and agrees to get the same tattoo, with Matt's initials inside. They have fun deciding where to put the tattoos--a spot Vic hasn't already covered turns out to be pretty hard to find. Once they decide where to get inked, Matt may not be able to go through with it. He's more than a little skittish when it comes to needles, and watching the tattoo artist at work is frightening. With the powers love gives him, however, Vic finds a way to help Matt overcome his fears.)......With This Ring (Matt's ex, Jordan, confesses all to a tabloid and spills Matt's secret in the process. After the article appears, Matt receives a phone call from a research scientist at a local condom factory who claims to have a solution to his little 'problem.' The offer is tempting--the powers Vic receives from Matt are unpredictable and scary. Matt wants to keep his lover safe, and is eager to hear what the scientist has to suggest. Vic is willing to try the cure and lose his superhero abilities for his lover's peace of mind...even if it means losing the special mental connection they share, a bond formed by the powers, a bond that has become such a part of their lives together that neither is quite prepared when it suddenly disappears.)
