Great Stories You Might Have Missed #2

Brian & Pete by Dewey Once upon a time there were two boys on the West coast. Their names were Brian and Pete and they fell in love. Then things got complicated by reality. This is the story that broke through my shell and got me started writing. It did me a lot of good because through the struggles of these brave and noble kids, I could see myself differently. It is a beautiful thing but I warn you: it hurts. Have some time on your hands and a box of Kleenex handy. This is o

New Year's Eve, Late Christmas Gifts, and Unfinished projects

I don't know about anyone else but this year can be over, and it isn't soon enough for me. Just to recap the worst highlights - Dad went into the hospital in October with massive blood loss. I was up every day for over two weeks before I went back to work and really needed a break from my break. Dad then went to rehab after three weeks in the hospital. He remembers ambulance rides to the hospital and to the rehab center but not the time spent there. HE will finally come home from rehab on Ne

New story

Hiya everyone! As you may know, I've had a rough couple of years, especially the last one. Due to some of the experiences I've had recently, I am hopelessly stuck on the next scene for Trials and Tribulations. I will at some time be able to get through it and complete the story, but for now, I have another idea. I've started a new story, untitled at the moment, but it will involve teenagers meeting head on some serious adult level events that affect this earth and other places as well.

Life is worth an entry

I am back...with lessons learned

Months of inactivity is over, real life is a bitch (why do we use such a misogynistic terms to denote a bad experience in the first place?), but it passes. Let's see some updates on my life, I am still employed, I am still a homeowner with a decen sized mortgage, and still quite alone as a gay man in his late 20's. Nthing has changed in the last 3 months concerning my life. As for my writing, I have been holding off for so long, but I want to get back to it again. Between my grandmother

Falling Off A Log by Driver If you have never read this story, it's so good it hurts a little. Joey and Scott are two average kids. They aren't athletes, they are so uncoordinated they are a little dangerous and they aren't brains. What makes them special is that Joey can play the electric guitar, Scott can sing and they love each other like brothers. They are both very talented and together they are something very special. The boys do a lot of jamming and growing up. Typical of

Neko update

Just wanted to say that I'm nine chapters and 20k+ words into the Tears of the Neko sequel, so it is coming along. I expect it will be shorter than the original, but we'll see after my betas get back to me. I have sent the first six chapters to them today, but of course, being the holidays, I don't expect to hear from them soon. I have been sick the last two weeks, and that has slowed down my intended progress quite a bit. But I would still expect to have it out in January, just maybe not ri

Yule Greetings

A happy Yuletide Season to all my GA friends and fellow members! Dinner was great--ham, fresh bread, green beans and sweet potatoes...and sweet tea to drink. My little girl--okay, Siamese cat Bortai, is enjoying an inch-thick slice all of her own, suitably cut into small pieces. She is one happy 14 year old girl right now! Her birthday is around now also, from what I could calculate when I got her and her brother back in 2001 when they were 3 months old in March. Her brother was stolen six year

Kitty Kay-o and the Cat Cannibals (or why grammar matters)

My mom was a little girl during the Great Depression. In addition to all that, she grew up in a tiny town in the Mississippi Delta. If the rest of the country was broke, the Delta was like Oh my God, how could they get any poorer poor. They lived on what they could grow on their farm and had precious little extra. One of my mom's best pal's was a big black cat named Kitty Kay-O. Back in those days cats weren't that common in those parts. Kay-o was a prized mouser and her kittens were

Nightfall (preview)

There are three stories in a trilogy. The 1st is: the Place in Between The 2nd is: Getting to the Happily Ever After The 3rd will be Nightfall I've started it but I'm not sure when it's going to post. Most probably in the Spring Anthology. I have several things going on at once. Well- screw it. I produce better under pressure. Nightfall is about the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Back when AIDS was mysterious and we didn't know much about it. It's about the fear, the panic, the

Anniversary

“It’s not that I didn’t like the gift…” “You don’t,” Ron interrupted while flipping through a magazine. “Right, but he doesn’t have to know that.” “He will figure it out when you never wear it and it goes the way the rest of his gifts have gone, “Ron said gesturing towards the closet. “It’s our fifth year anniversary, that deserves something more romantic than a brown coat and an even plainer brown scarf,” Daniel exclaimed, pushing his hair off his forehead. “It could have b

Rainbow Award Winner- Silent /Giveaway :)

My novel Silent was selected as the 2014 Rainbow Award Winner in the Gay & Lesbian Young Adult Category! I don't think I ever posted much about it here-- ran a couple of ads at one point, but I sort of suck at advertising and self-promotion. In any case, on the off chance a curious person stumbles by my blog, here's the cover/blurb: 2014 Rainbow Award Winner: Best Gay & Lesbian Young Adult Novel Alex's life as a teenager in South Central LA is far from perfect, but it's his

Story Review Featured Story: Gay Whales

Happy Monday! So, it's been a while since I've done a review for the blog, so I decided maybe it was time that I remedied that. While it's not a Christmas or holiday tale, the story I decided to review is one that is humorous, fun, and lighthearted; all things that a holiday should be. The story we're going to take a look at today is "Gay Whales" by Graeme. Hopefully if you decide to take a look at it, you'll enjoy it as much as I did! Gay Whales By Graeme Signature Author

Scotty gets a Mustang (and I got the shaft)

Scotty gets a Mustang I'm fifteen. It's summer and in July in Mississippi, it's hot as hell. Things haven't been awesome at home for some time. Not since my asshole scoutmaster told my parents that homosexuals weren't welcome in scouting. He threw that little bomb into our home and walked his self righteous ass away. I hated him. I really wanted to kill him because nothing was ever the same after. My dad never hit me before. I was always afraid. They told me that you can't b

Running in Place

We’re finally getting rain here in northern California after two years of very little of the wet stuff. It’s great to see. It’s great to feel. I went swimming in the rain yesterday. But for running, I’ve moved indoors to the treadmill. Until last month, I probably hadn’t run on a treadmill since 2011. Treadmill technology has improved in the last two years. The gym has two machines made for long distance runs with bases better at absorbing impact. The difference between those and the re

Merry Christmas

This time of year can be filled with joy, excitement, happiness, and what some would call, miracles; but also, dread, loneliness, stress, and depression can be found as well. Don't be so quick to brush off rudeness or an uncaring attitude. Perhaps with a smile, offer an ear to bend, and be the person someone can lean on, you could help bring a miracle into a person's life. Be a candle in the darkness! Merry Christmas

A Tekkies Christmas

A Tekkies Christmas Every Christmas it seems the weather is dreary, And I gets calls from my friends, their minds bleary, They buy laptops and games and PCs for their young, But getting it all going can be a bit high strung. So I go about town in the dead of night, With my shiny tools and flashlight so bright, To help those poor souls to get things working Since with Santa's elves, there can be no shirking. Off to see Bill and Cheryl to get a lap top loaded, Off to see Kim and
