Beef Matson
Beef Matson is a gay detective character created by Rick Chris. Two of the stories in the Beef Matson canon, A PERSON IN A POSITION OF TRUST and CATCH A FALLING STAR are published on this web site and links to the various chapters can be found below.
CHAPTER FIVE OF CATCH A FALLING STAR IS NOW PUBLISHED ON LINE! CLICK HERE!
CAFS CHP4-2
CATCH A FALLING STAR CHAPTER 4, "IF PAIN PERSISTS", PART 2.  It's the very latest in the gay detective's thriller that features deadly alien creatures, secret agents and you name it.  Readers keep suggesting that the story would make a great movie or video, but with my humble resources, that's extremely unlikely.  However, I've placed a number of illustrations in the story to help you create a movie in the theater of your mind.  If you like, you can send in your comments about the story and I will add them to the comments already published.
CAFS Chp 4
