- Title: Children of Solitude
- Synopsis: Reginald Voth is a prickly queen whose mother is (finally) dead. When he returns to the ancestral Appalachian homestead where she raised him, he finds her house is haunted (or worse) and his favorite adult star living inexplicably next door. As a new romance unfolds, Reginald must reckon with the effects of growing up isolated and alienated and the possibility the place he escaped in his youth–and the strange powers watching over it–have managed to trap him a second time.
