The year is 2016 and spiritual activity has only been on a steady increase since the 80's. A lot has happened since those days, and the Ghostbusters have become a franchise.
Enter Jordan Ross and Cynthia Palmer. One a paranormal investigator with big dreams, the other a former member of the military who is looking for direction in her life. When Iowa is struck with a ridiculously sharp increase in paranormal visitations they decide to invest in the franchise and spiritually bust some heads, and potentially turn a profit.
Behind the scenes, a cult is clearing the path for the Akkadian God of Mischief, Erra.
Can the newly formed Des Moines chapter of the Ghostbusters turn the tide on the paranormal wave hitting the midwest, or will the whole world succumb to the dastardly dealings of Erra and his minions.
Ghostbusters: Des Moines was born out of my own Ghostbusters love and is what I would have wanted out of a reboot/sequel. In my perfect world, any sequel to the Ghostbusters movies lends itself toward being a hard hitting television series. In a similar manner to CSI, each major city would have their own franchise with different shows having crossovers. The team dynamic could be played with and changed. If you feel like writing a Ghostbusters for your city, please say so in the comments, I'd love to follow yours.
My Ghostbusters: Des Moines is intended to be a serialized story with Episodes building into seasons.
I'm working on episodes between working on chapters of some of my other works, and hope to put them out on a regular schedule. In the meantime, if you like my writing style, I have several published novels. Please check out http://amazon.com/author/matthewdavenport

To Love A Ghost || ONC 2023 Shortlist
Prompt #23: They were not real, everyone told me they were not real. But why are they here? Why are they trying to talk to me? Why are they calling me the ONE? Why are they staring at me like that? *** When bored corporate 9 to 5'er Jace Palmer inherits his great-aunt Lorraine's flower shop in tiny River Bend, Wisconsin, nothing will stop him from realizing his lifelong dream of owning his own coffeehouse and bookstore. No matter what he must sacrifice to achieve it...his life savings...his marriage...and, as strange things begin happening in the shop and the apartment above it, his sanity. Jace is certain he's going crazy, but then one day the apparition of a young man appears before Jace's very wide-awake eyes, looking and speaking like an ordinary human. Except no human can vanish and reappear. No human can walk through walls and closed doors. And no human-not even his ex-wife-has ever stirred the feelings in Jace that he has for the ghost of Daniel Walsh. *To Love a Ghost is a paranormal small-town M/M romance explicitly written for ONC 2023. This story contains adult language, themes, and depictions of 1930's era as well as modern-day attempts at gay conversion therapy (which some readers may find uncomfortable or disturbing) and a rather unconventional HEA.*Complete

Get A Life | ONC2023 Shortlist
While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.Complete![Murdersphere Mosaic [ManXMan] [BoyXBoy]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/18255302-256-k519371.jpg)
Murdersphere Mosaic [ManXMan] [BoyXBoy]
A nobody finds himself an unwilling participant in a sprawling entertainment enterprise where fantasy, science-fiction, romance, sex, and death are served up, remixed and re-served all in the name of keeping the mysterious alien Audience satisfied. 9/17/2014 _Murdersphere Mosaic_ has finished. Thank you all current and future readers for taking a look at my first Wattpad publication. Now, for a secret. _Murdersphere Mosaic_ is the rough-draft sequel to _Blue Collar Immortal_. It did not start that way, but once I got going, a lot of thing fell into place, namely that despite starting with the intention to do fanfiction, I did not commit to actually "living" in the milieus of the Marvel or even DC Universe. They became set pieces, prop-culture references and points of familiarity for the protagonist. I am turning _Murdersphere Mosaic_ into a first draft and I plan to re-develop set life on IC-CG1. I'm stripping out the Marvel and DC references, but it will definitely be recognizable as a super-science, comic book influenced environment. The idea is quite exciting. Because this turned into a sequel, I want all of you to have the whole story. So, I am going to serialize _Blue Collar Immortal_ on Wattpad, one chapter a week, starting Friday, September 19, 2014. If you do not want to wait, or you want a different format, I have dropped the price of _Blue Collar Immortal_ to $0.99 in the Kindle store. Also, because they peripherally touch on _Blue Collar Immortal_ and _Murdersphere Mosaic_, I have reduced the prices of _Theocrat_ and _Geistwolf_ to $0.99 as well. After serializing _Blue Collar Immortal_, barring a change in circumstance, the plan is to start serializing _Geistwolf_ on a chapter a week cycle and after that, _Theocrat_. Things may change. I promise to let you know if that happens. http://www.amazon.com/Hank-Cannon/e/B00APRPIOG Thank you all for reading.Complete
