Shattered Moonlight is the story of a group of friends who get together to celebrate the fulfillment of a dream of one of their own. While a majority of the people there that weekend enjoy each other's company, it is apparent that Pee Wee has his mind elsewhere. When a relative stranger shows up fully dressed in his police uniform, Pee Wee can barely contain himself. His fantasy about men in uniform, particularly policemen, seemed to be coming true. What he didn't expect was what would happen during the course of the night.
One short weekend forces each of the friends to revisit the past, good and bad, evaluate the present, and ultimately deal with the consequences of one fateful night. But as the last shards of moonlight hide from the daylight they take the conversations, whispers and secrets of the events of that night with them.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The author is a native of South Carolina and enjoys Southern Culture as well as Southern writers. Though he has lived in other parts of the United States he has returned to the same area where he grew up. He jokes that the area is absolutely ripe with the sort of situations and people that make Southern writing so interesting.
Though he has attended several colleges and universities he is proudest of his Interdisplinary Studies degree from the University of South Carolina. He credits his love of reading to his family as well as several strong and wonderful teachers that he had in High School and College. But, most of all, he credits his friends with nurturing him by listening to his stories, sitting through long recitals of his dreams, and just being there.
While this is his first Published novel he has been writing for sometime and has several works brewing.
Tom- the owner of the country house and the host for the weekend.
Deaton - Tom's oldest friend. He is a black professional, handsome, devious, and moody.
Deandra - A lesbian friend from school who has remained close to Tom.
Pee Wee - a slightly neurotic friend of Tom's who is still seeking his way in life. He has a uniform fetish, among other issues.
Marcus (aka Grandmother) - Slightly older than the rest he was once considered a mentor, but they are forced to reevaluate who he really is.
T-Bo - Marcus' very young boyfriend from the local housing projects. He has the hardened veneer of the streets but is still quite vulnerable.
Mike - A local policeman, friend of Deaton's, and acquaintence and school mate of several of the others. His arrival sends the story in a whole new direction.
Randall - A quiet and subdued friend who seems to be the most stable.
