Before I start, I just want people to know, Equality Florida has raised 4.6 Million for the victims of the Orlando attack:
This is an awesome cause and I'm probably going to donate again, when I get my next pay check. https://www.gofundme.com/PulseVictimsFund
Now to the main subject:
I am postponing the publication of Book 2 until October, both because the subject matter is too close to reality and I do not wish to inflame passions with my writing. For my readers, you know fro
If you are able and capable of making small donations online to the victims of the Orlando LGBT Nightclub attack, which killed 49 people and left 53 people injured, here's a few legitimate donation sites:

I am taking my love life nice and slow. I have a lot of insecurities, a lot of unknowns, and a lot of pent up sexual frustrations. That's my life right now.
My 1st question is, do I love him?
I don't know, he's charming as hell though
2nd, Can I settle don with him?
Maybe, but I want to learn more about him

Life, Death, and rituals, there's a lot of things Chinese people do that is strange and alien to many people. In some ways, it is anachronistic and in other ways, it is a sign of cultural longevity.
For 5,000 years, funerals have happened in similar manners for millions of households, if not billions. There's kneeling, ceremonial bowing, a bit of supplicated crawling to the casket, constant chanting and wailing, and lots of origami paper folding plus burning of the folded paper and ghost mon

I have been busy for the last two months between a trip to Vegas and some other stuff at work, but I am back into writing Book 2. Currently I have 2 opening pieces edited and ready, but I want to give myself at least 8 chapters lead time just like Book 1, which worked well.
It will be a scheduled release of 1 chapter a week, with an occasional special like Memorial day or July 4th Independence Day.
As for other projects, I had an interesting thought t
I am post timing this blog entry to coincide with Secret Admirer contest, I don't expect to win, but if I did I am really grateful to all the readers that chose my story, despite how different it is from my writing style.
So the big question for all the readers, why did I write a story like this? It's so tragic, so detailed and impact with a subject matter that is definitely Left of even Bernie Sanders , and holds a lot of questions about the nature of national principles versus geopolitica
It's a taboo among writers, which I understand. We respect one another ability and respect our works mutually
Still, recently, I came upon a story that I was so angry at and so desperately desiring to change the fate of its protagonist that I wanted to ask the author if he would allow me to do a sequel based on his work, which has been in limbo for years. I haven't done it, because part of me doesn't want to desecrate the author's work, but on another level I don't like seeing a character be

I've done it, I have finished a novella. So Book 1 is now in "complete" status, this is my second novella and it is much more reflective of my writing concepts, ideals, and conflicts than my rushed attempt last time to rewrite a lost novel.
As for this chapter, it asks a lot of big questions about morality of lies versus the practical reality of truth in a free society that has mutually antagonistic elements. That is the heart of the ne

Before I begin my weekly blurb, I just want to congratulate all the contestants of the Secret Santa story contest.
Now to start, escalation and counter-escalation is something I love exploring. If you live in a world where threats exists from extreme ideologies, why won't reactionary elements from your own side take action? Being LGBT doesn't mean that we're all saints.
Jesse Heron is determined, hot-tempered, and has nothing to los
That was AWESOME!
Seriously, they pulled all the stops, we got to seeold favorites and new faces with great backstories and mysterious pasts. I was scared JJ Abrams couldn't handle this franchise, but I was wrong, he did it well and added some fun plot points. When Han Solo (Harrison Ford) came back on the Millennium Falcon, a round of applause came from everyone in the theater.
I think everyone appreciates George Lucas as the founder and creator of Star Wars Franchise, but his prequels

The plot thickens; the relationship between Hunter and Kevin is complicated to say the least. There is definitely romantic and sexual tension, but losing a lover is not something you can get away from easily, nor is a Nervous breakdown really a great start of a romance. I am being realistic with the two of them, if they do form a lasting bond eventually, it will have to be done through a long drawn out process of soul searching.

Why do I consider this movie to be one of the best Christmas movies ever made?
Simple, in a society that has become so cynical and hopeless, it is a refreshing reminder that the world can surprise you. Faith is something this movie transfers in a non-religious way to conceptual reality. If a man says, he's Santa Claus, we would likely say he's insane. We're a society in doubt and denial against faith in a positive aspect of the world and mankind's capability to be better than what we are tod
First In case you guys didn't read Chapter 9, which I posted yesterday on regular schedule, here's a link
Now, here's One Man's Worth Link and a little background:
This story is set 2 weeks after Chapter 12, so there are a few spoilers.
The inspiration for this Christmas Special came from two sources: One Man's Worth is the title of X-Men TAS Cartoon and Comic Book about the death of Professor Xavier causing a horrible future to be fixed by "Bishop", a mutant time traveler. The secon

Did you think I forgot about Kevin or his crush on Hunter? If I mentioned it in Chapter 3, I will not forget it even in Chapter 9 (Hmm...3x3 = 9, is that a math reference, a religious reference to "3" by WL, or just a coincidence )
It's been one sided love of course, but what great love isn't one sided to begin with.
Before we get to love, let's talk about loss; Hunter has lost a major battle against his foes and the walls are sta

New developments and new characters, I love exploring the world, but the biggest piece of understanding is subtle interactions. Benji is tasked with subtly enabling detection without revealing how much he knows and with a clear target.
On a side note, during federal Implementation of Health Information Technology standards at my former employer, a Medical Center, we actually did hire outside consultants to test the database. Here's the k
Before I do a write up for CBDT, I want to have some fun and do a review of a kid show that I caught by accident.
Caught the tail end of Lion Guard earlier this week, then found it on demand for free on my Digital Cable.
For those who do not watch Kid shows for nostalgia (How many of these shows are actually throwbacks to our generation's childhood, Millennials Rule! ) Lion Guard is the new Disney animated spin-off to Lion King movies.
Yes, you can enjoy the show without being a kid

Well that was a fun chapter. I know some people will expect explosions and gun battles (Those will happen later), but most data-based investigations are inconclusive until you can find common threads or links. Despite the advances in technology, deductive reasoning as seen on CSI, NCIS, or Criminal Minds based on hard evidence alone is not enough.
I am introducing a genre concept for GA writers and readers, Abductive Reasoning. Detective
Before the Paris attacks, before our minds and hearts were set ablaze with images of terrorism, the biggest news in the US was 21st Century Racial tensions. I made a thread in the Pit to ask a simple question:
I am not doing this to gain attention, not to start an argument or another protest, but I want to know the truth. I am a minority Asian Citizen of the US as well, but I don't understand the racial tension from an African American point of view.

Before I talk about this chapter, I want to say that my heart is with France, Mon coeur est avec la France.
This chapter is oddly poignant for today. Kevin is the voice of reason in a unreasonable world; he is shocked to learn how far people are willing to go to win an ideological victory. I wrote this chapter a month and half ago and sent it over to Kitt back in September, just pondering on the notion of Terrorism and ideological motiva

How are secrets kept in the real world? The answer from WL, they're not. The modern world is so stuffed with information outlets from 24 hour TV News, streaming videos of private citizens, blog entries like this, and even old fashioned paper mediums. However, secrets can be compartmentalized, each piece revealed and opened up as needed to achieve a certain goal. If I were running the CIA, it would be the most logical way to keep secrecy in a

I hope sincerely that people, who thought I only dabble in writing are now seeing that I am laying groundwork in an expansive story. I want to write a story that does not just sit in one place and tells a story from one perspective. I want my characters to be smart, but ignorant of certain facts at different times.
In this chapter Hunter wakes up from a wild night of drinking and partying, he doesn't know where he wakes up and when he fi
Just like DVD commentaries, you guys get to hear me talk about the characters and what went into their development.
Hunter was the 2nd Character I created for this story (The first character is going to show up in chapter 3).
He's my ideal of what the future of LGBT movement will evolve into; he is a cross between Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and Leonardo Da Vinci.

To sum everything up into two sentences:
Knowledge is power, not just power in the form of magic or a nuclear weapons, it is the power to bring down individuals and nations through revelations. Whether it is an anti-LGBT group or a LGBT defensive team formed by a group of geniuses, in our modern world of integrated technology, knowledge is a weapon that can kill or protect.

Alright, so let me explain a few things:
