It is a secret between the midwives and servant girls, that Fr. Matthew has knowledge of "sending" unwanted children back to God. So when Catherine finds herself pregnant, it is not a midwife she seeks for an abortion. Rather, a priest with his own secrets.

Just a moodboard for my dark romance short story #wip where a man falls in love with the son of the guy he tried to kill. Oh yes, and that guy was once his former lover (or almost lover).

Germain thought it was a decent thing, stopping the strange man in the woods from shooting himself. He was not prepared for the chaos that followed when he welcomed that man into his home, nor the way his own life and sexuality would be disrupted in result.

Being accused of sleeping with his lover's brother is one thing. Being a 14th century Catholic priest adds another level of complexity to the situation. And when he hopes things can't get any stranger, he is suddenly giving young women abortions in his church basement.

From my wip 'Mahogany Heart' about a medieval priest who discovers he has pagan witch ancestors. He finds a way to combine his ancestral culture with his present one, and his lover/husband is involved too.

New wip, "Old Eyes", follows the story of a sixteenth century gay priest, Father Matthew, who in secret, administers abortion concoctions to young women in need. He bonds with one of his patients, and their conversation sticks with him, long after she has fled England.
