Despondent and suicidal over the disappearance of his beloved Leven, Shaun goes from medical observation to the River Thames—where he wades into the freezing water intent upon ending it all.
Instead, Shaun finds himself rescuing the mysterious floating body of a man in strange armor. And he learns that Leven is not dead, hope is not lost, love is not over. . .and the world of London is not the world he thought it was at all.
Shaun and his sister Beth struggle to save the life of this man so like Leven as to be identical, although he has no memory of Shaun or anything that’s happened to him.
When their struggle becomes one of escaping their own tyrannical parents and violent past, it is Beth’s wild, uncontrollable art that brings to them the clues Shaun needs to piece together where Leven has been, what happened to him there, who’s coming for him now. . .and how only a fine thread of precognition hangs between London and oceanic apocalypse.
Before it’s too late, Shaun must recover this man’s memory—
The memory of water.
Memory of Water is available now.

Hi Stuart! I just finished “Body of Water” last night and all I was thinking was: this can’t be the end, he has to write more about Leven. And you are! And I’m so glad! (But you’re really scaring me with that excerpt…..o_0
Hi Cathy! I am so, so pleased that you liked Body of Water and even more touched that you thought to blog about it. It means so much to me. I was all set to finish Husk, my M/M SciFi novel, but I knew deep down that Shaun and Leven had unfinished business. I’m going to push myself and shoot for a December release for Memory of Water. Thanks again, Stu x

Hi Stuart, I have just finished body of water and have been reading it since this morning (11am) and have just finished it (10pm), I could not put it down, I absolutely loved everything about it, your unique writing style, characters that you can’t help but love with and the gripping story line that makes you want to read on after each chapter is over with. I am a writer myself and have only had a short novel published. I was totally wounded when I learned that your squeal has not yet been released. Hopefully soon though? I have passed comments on to all of my friends and they are going to buy the book. Again I love the way you write, it makes a gay guy like myself proud to be gay.
All my love,
Danni Kennedy
