Bear Chronicles

The saga continues for this tight-knit group of gay friends carving out their lives in Houston, Texas. Months have passed since the whirlwind finale of Bearly Obsessed, but things are about to get shaken up again-this time, by a surprise visitor: Brett, a twelve-year-old with a complicated past and a connection with someone in the group.Brett grew up without parents-his mother gone before he could remember, his father a mystery. Now it's up to the guys to convince Brett's father that he has a son, a quest that stirs up old wounds and forces someone else in the circle to question everything they thought they knew about their own father.Meanwhile, new romances aren't all hearts and roses. When one boyfriend's obsession tips into madness, a breakup turns sinister-stalking, threats, and a dangerous case of mistaken identity that suddenly puts Brett in the crosshairs. The city promised Brett a fresh start, but Houston's shadows run deep.As if that weren't enough, a wave of violence sweeps through Montrose, and the group's resident detective is drawn into a hunt for the attackers, while Coy dives headfirst into his first Bear Event with Paul. What could possibly go wrong? With this crew, trouble is never far behind. Gary W. Moore grew up in a small town near the boot heal of Missouri, but ended up there because of tragedy. His mother died when he was 3 and then his father when he was 11. He was considered a change of life baby as they were both well into their 40's when he came along.As he was the youngest in the family, the three oldest siblings were married and moved out before he was old enough to walk, so he didn't really know them. After his father's death he was forced to move in with his oldest sister and her family. His two closest siblings (in age) were also in the moving van.So a three bedroom house in St. Louis was being replaced by a two bedroom trailer. Two adults and 5 children living in a home that comfortably fit 3 people. Thankfully, this would only last for a few months. His sister and her husband were in the process of having a home built. Due to the new additions, changes were made, and the two girls would each be getting their own bedroom, while the three boys would be stuck in one. The math never did make sense to him, but the boys got along, where the girls didn't. So, logically it was sound.The change from a city of hundreds of thousands to a town of 300 was quite strange. And the fact that there were no minorities seemed odd. Some of Gary's closest friends in St. Louis were black, and here it was nothing but white faces.School was quite different as well because of the size. Instead of housing only elementary or middle school students, this one held everyone from Kindergarten to 12th grade, and only had around 200 students. The Kindergarten classroom was next door to the Home Ec and Shop. The school Gary left in St. Louis had over 500 students and that was only an elementary. His class in this small town was even small compared to the others in the school with only 13 students.He moved away from the small town after a close friend threatened to 'out' him. It was a scary situation, knowing how many in the community would enjoy making him an example to the youngins not to try homosexuality. So, he moved to Florida and stayed with his oldest brother and his family for a while. He fell in love with Florida and resided there for several years. But in 1996 he moved to Houston and finally learned how hot it gets in the South.He never knew he would like to write, but a friend suggested he come up with a story so they could do some homemade videos and put them on the internet.

A hurricane barrels into the Texas Gulf Coast, leaving Galveston battered and broken. Uncle Henry's Bed & Breakfast takes the brunt of it, and when the storm finally passes, he's gone-claimed by the chaos. News of his uncle's death hits Ronnie hard, but before he can even catch his breath, he finds himself holding the keys to the battered old B & B.Ronnie's friends won't let him face this alone. They drop everything, take time off work, and head to Galveston, ready to roll up their sleeves. At first, the work is almost therapeutic-scrubbing, repairing, replacing. But then they uncovers a hidden grave on the property, and everything changes. The house, once just creaky and old, starts to feel alive, and not in a good way. Moans drift from the attic. Paintings fall when no one's watching.Curiosity turns into obsession as they dig into the story behind the grave. What they find is a mystery that stretches back a century. Lyndon and Tom investigate, while Steve uncovers a curious link to New York that nobody saw coming.Determined to get answers, Paul tracks down a local medium. The group gathers for a séance, half skeptical, half terrified. What unfolds is nothing any of them could have prepared for.As the investigation spirals, the questions pile up. Was Uncle Henry's death really just a tragic accident-or did something more sinister have a hand in it? Why was someone buried on the property instead of in a cemetery? What secret is the Great Hurricane of 1901 still hiding? And is it possible for a serial killer to reach out from beyond the grave?There's only one way to find out. With Kevin lending a hand, the group faces the biggest question of all: are ghosts real, or is the past just refusing to stay buried? Gary W.

The Bear Chronicles wraps up with the whole gang, and yes, even Vera, setting sail on a cruise that's meant to be pure relaxation. Naturally, nothing's ever that simple for this group, as pirates target a mysterious passenger, and suddenly the trip turns into a high-seas terror. Will our heroes outsmart the raiders, or will this last adventure end with a bang? Meanwhile, during the spring, new romances bloom. Will these become something long-lasting, or will a misunderstanding end in heartbreak before things even begin? Through it all, Kevin, the heart and glue of the group, has done his best to help.
