Most Horses Are Born Without Stripes

Most horses are born without stripes. Those who do have stripes are not horses at all. I am not a horse. That much, I am sure. But maybe, just maybe, anyone could be a horse if they tried hard enough.
And boy, did I try.
---
This is a story for those who are different, for the zebras trying to fit in with the horses. Even though the saddle wasn't made to fit on your back and the bit wasn't made for your mouth, it doesn't mean there is no worth to you. We simply live in a world that wasn't made for us.
Inspired by the Wild West era, it is a symbolic story about how neurodivergent, specifically autistic people, experience the world differently. They are not "broken" or "defective," and they do not need to be "fixed."

Will you Still Look at me Again?
After an incident caused by his depression, a renowned worker in the adult entertainment industry, Romero Porcupine, decides that a change of scenery would be a nice decision for himself. So, he decides to go and move to what he's told is a nice, quiet town. Everything seems to be going great. The townsfolk seem nice. The scenery is amazing. It's not too far from the city, and the best part, nobody seems to know who he is. And, I mean, who wouldn't LOVE to live in a house right next to the woods in a town that is said to have a "Wolf Problem" (whatever that means,) AM I RIGHT??? No but seriously, with everything he does, he seems to dig himself into an even bigger hole that he can't get out of, and it gets to the point that keeping his job a secret is the least of his worries as of right now. On top of all that, he now needs to try and figure out how to process some new... information... he ends up getting about the world he lives in. Although, just maybe, he can find someone in this town to confide in? Someone who seems like he can trust. Someone who seems a bit... familiar. Hope you guys enjoy the book!!! (Side note: I know I don't usually post this type of stuff, as, if you could not already tell this is supposed to be SMUT. DETAILED, (mostly) GAY SMUT. Obviously, you may think, why even write this BS??? Well, I thought it would be nice to change it up a bit and dive into areas of writing I normally don't do. Get out of my comfort zone a little. If Quan Millz can push out the most confusing things I have ever seen in my life and make it into a book, I think I can publish this one book. If you guys have any types of stories that you think I should make, or any genres you think I should explore writing, let me know!!)
Falling For A Cowboy (NOW ON GALATEA)
Second Chance Romance Love-at-first sight--faster-paced love affair Single father Surprise baby HEA standalone Five years ago, my life changed when my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night-breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesignComplete

The Black Beauty (Wattys 2015)
Have you ever experienced the wind flapping through your mane and forelock as you gallop through vast plains and over rocky slopes? Have you ever known what freedom feels like, knowing that it isn't free? Of course you haven't. You aren't a horse-shifter like me. Well that so called freedom can be taken away any second of any day. In the blink of an eye, and you probably won't even know it. But I do. It happened to me. Like yesterday, when I was caught by the people that run the Wild Mustang Round Up. It isn't a beautiful sight. But I am. My coat, black as night, red as fire in sunlight. My mane, dark as coal, wild as the wind. My tail, as dark as ebony, that can't be tamed. My spirit? Ha, it is as wild as wild can be. I. Can. Not. Be. Tamed.Complete

Southern Charm
Jessie White stands out from the crowd. As a Southern woman, she defies the typical expectations. While others her age are embarking on new careers, Jessie's upbringing on a ranch alongside four brothers equipped her with skills many would balk at. She's adept at horseback riding, calving, stall cleaning, and more. Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time. Although he may appear arrogant externally, that pales in comparison to his internal complexity. Trace and Jessie are initially oblivious to their chemistry, though it's evident to everyone around them. As Jessie gathers the courage to express her feelings to Trace, the things she dreads occur. However, it doesn't make matters worse; it alters everything profoundly. *WARNING* Book contains language, child loss, trauma, etc. Thank you for choosing my story!
