When I saw that Evernight Publishing had a call for submissions for uniform-related stories, I immediately added it to my to-write list. It’s no secret whatsoever that I’m a total sucker for a man in uniform. I didn’t have time to write something for both the M/F and M/M anthologies, unfortunately, so I just let my mind wander and see what it came up with first.
My brain decided it was time to lose my fireman virginity. Not literally, of course, as I’m spoken for, but in the writing sense. I’ve penned stories about soldiers, submariners, police, waiters and probably some I’ve forgotten, but I hadn’t yet tackled a sexy story about a fireman. As soon as I’d figured that out, the idea came to me pretty quickly... turning a super-boring event into a super-hot story.
I work from home, and, because I’m very nosey, I often glance out of the window. Not much gets past me. But usually, there’s absolutely nothing going on—I live on a very boring street. So when, a while back, a fire engine drove down to the bottom of the street, then turned around in the square at the bottom of the cul-de-sac, and parked up across the road, I was immediately riveted. There were no sirens, no urgency, so I knew an emergency wasn’t taking place. So what the hell were they doing there?
Sneaking peeks as I attempted to work, I watched as a single fireman headed into the house across the road with a step ladder. Then I remembered reading something in the local newspaper about the fire service being available to fit smoke detectors in houses and to give advice on safety and so on. So far, so dull... especially since I couldn’t see a single attractive fireman amongst them. I soon lost interest in the reality.
Luckily, my imagination is far from dull. So I managed to turn that idea—a fireman fitting smoke detectors and giving free safety advice—into a tale about two old friends who weren’t quite lovers bumping into each other by accident many years later and the resultant action. I’m not saying any more as it’ll totally give the game away, but I’ll just add that I very much enjoyed penning my first fireman story. It’s given me ideas for more, too ;)
Happy Reading,

Excerpt:
Lucas Hartley grabbed his helmet and equipment and jumped out of the fire truck. The helmet wasn’t a requirement to go fit smoke detectors, but if the house had kids, it was pretty much a necessity. He’d yet to come across a rug-rat who didn’t ask Lucas to put his fireman’s helmet on, then take it off so they could try it on. He quite liked kids, so it was nice to see their little grinning faces, to make their day. Plus, if they were a handful, he could use the helmet as bribery to make them behave while he fitted the detectors and ran through a comprehensive fire safety discussion with a responsible adult. It never failed.
The downside, however, was that the whole fireman-in-uniform thing often got the responsible adults of the female persuasion all hot under the collar. For most guys, this wouldn’t be a problem. After all, a little flirtation here and there was good for the ego. But for Lucas, it was a drag—why couldn’t there be a single dad somewhere who was gay and needed a smoke detector fitting? Sadly, it just never seemed to work out that way.
Sighing, Lucas slammed the door on the mocking comments of his colleagues, who’d opted to stay in the truck. It only took one person to do the job in question, and today Lucas had drawn the short straw—literally. The others would no doubt chill out, chat and use their phones to text and surf until he was done, or an emergency came in. Whatever was first.
Rolling his eyes, he let out another heavy breath, then rearranged his face into a smile. No point taking his grumpiness out on the home owner. Striding up to the door, he put his equipment down, then grasped the knocker and gave it a firm tap against the wood. After a short pause, he heard the unmistakable sound of a key turning in a lock, and the door was opened a little. A woman’s face appeared in the gap. She looked him up and down, then peered around him to the large red truck parked at the end of her driveway.
Apparently satisfied he wasn’t a cold caller, she opened the door wider. “Hello,” she said, smiling. “Come on in.”
“Thanks.” Lucas picked up his gear and moved into the hallway, waiting while the woman shut the door.
After doing so, she indicated he should head through an open doorway into the living room. Lucas entered the room, and was just about to ask the woman—Mrs. Judd, according to his paperwork—if she knew where she wanted the detectors fitting, when a man in a wheelchair appeared from another open doorway.
Opening his mouth to greet the man, Lucas then snapped it shut as his brain struggled to process what he was seeing. Trying again, he came out with, “Christ! What in God’s name happened to you?”
