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!
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.
CATCH
A FALLING STAR: CHAPTER 4 - "IF PAIN PERSISTS", Part 1.
CATCH A FALLING STAR: CHAPTER 3 - "A SERIES OF UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS".
CATCH A FALLING STAR: CHAPTER 2 - GETTING AWAY FROM IT ALL.
CATCH A FALLING STAR: CHAPTER 1 - THE REINDEER MAN

Since it's
basically a Christmas story, A
PERSON IN A POSITION OF TRUST will make a good read for the
Christmas season. In this story, none of the gay characters die, in
fact many of them become "not dead".
