Novitiate

No·vi·ti·ate (nō-vish'ē-it,-āt') n. The period of being a novice.

Ten stories, ten waypoints, ten steps along a path.

The stories collected in Novitiate represent the first leg of C.C. Williams' journey from a sometime storyteller to a published writer.

From the sweet, simple beginnings portrayed in
Midnight; to a rough and rocky courtship in Busting the Greenhorn, an AllRomanceEbooks(tm) Category Best Seller; to the dark and edgy psychology of The Prisoner, a Best Gay Romance selection for 2012, C.C. Williams portrays men facing their most difficult challenges--their own hearts--when confronted by something deeper, more permanent than what they had initially sought.
