    Well, after a longer haitus than usual, we're back! This is a long, long story by an author many of us have enjoyed for years. Have you read this classic story?

Life In Lowercase

Some people have asked me why I refer to myself as tim - not Tim. Some have been mightly upset that i do (i have trouble writing I rather than i as well).   Many people accept my choice of lowercase, others not so much. Some refuse to write my name that way, saying i shouldn't do it. Well, i figure it's up to me.   There are reasons i do it, most them have to do with how i see myself, how i see the world and how i fit into it. It also has a lot to do with my lifestyle. I live with a very alp

Need Help From Classic Author Fans!

Are you a fan of some of our Classic Authors? Want to help me out in a way that takes only minutes of your time but could revive some of the oldie but goodie stories on the site?

Oh, It's December Again.

HI all.   I figured I would let everyone know I'm still alive and functioning. Just been a bad year.   I have managed to get some stories done. Luckily I did them early. This has been a year of things going boom. My car died. My computer dies. I became a full blown diabetic. I lost 70 pounds. I've been really sick, but I keep going.   I do apologize for not being around. Hopefully things will get better in 2017.   Wishing everyone all the best. Just know I'm thinking of you if not here

And The Band Played On . . .

A fairly effective film about the early days of AIDS from its discovery through the political machinations of its progress through the 1980s.     A story every young gay man and woman should know.

Bullshit 101 - On The Job 2

As a public service, I am going to show you how to detect bullshit. When you hear these phrases, you know that you are in the presence of major league bullshit.   We offer an upwardly mobile career path with competitive compensation.   Bullshit! You'll get laid off before you can make any real money unless management likes you.   Management will only like you if you are a sociopath on par with a concentration camp guard and would cut your own mother's throat to get ahead.   If they want

Bullshit 101 - On The Job

As a public service, I am going to show you how to detect bullshit. When you hear these phrases, you know that you are in the presence of some major league bullshit.   "It's nothing personal..."   When you hear this you've already been screwed without lube and, it's the worst kind of dishonest bullshit.   NOTHING could get more personal than a layoff or a firing. NOTHING gets more personal than a bad performance review or a screwing over via office politics.   So if you plan on using thi

Bullshit 101 - Detection And Evasion

As a public service, I am going to show you how to detect bullshit. When you hear these phrases, you know that you are in the presence of some major league bullshit. "It's not about the money." Bullshit. Everything is about the money. If anyone tells you different, they think you are stupid.

Distractions Abound

So, as some might have noticed, I've been a bit distracted lately. The site news blog sometimes appears late, and/or I forget something that I'm supposed to include in the blog. Or maybe you have sent me a PM and it takes longer than usual for me to respond. And let's not talk about me being way behind in answering reviews for my premium story "Rough Stock Wranglers". Unfortunately, there's so much going on right now, that my mind is going a million miles an hour in so many different directions.

Thanksgiving Thoughts

Well, the 2016 Thanksgiving weekend is upon us...I guess my biggest "Thanks" is for the fact that I'm in generally decent health and I'm still gainfully employed, even if I'm not making too much.   I pretty much worked on Thanksgiving morning, and then I went over to my Vegan Sister's house for a Vegan Thanksgiving. It wasn't too bad. Then today my mother and I cooked dinner for my other sister, who brought her family over. We were able to facetime with my sister and niece who live in Californ

The Fruits Of Grief

Grief teaches us lessons in compassionate love. What we perceive as an unendurable trial later reveals itself as a mighty tool to assist someone else who needs help.   In times of grief take strength that upon its survival you will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Judge Me By My Cover

So let's dive right in and make people angry: I fucking hate most gay fiction book covers and story promo images used online. I detest them. They're shit. I see some ridiculous things, some terrible things, and some things which are generally pathetic. I have beef with people simply taking images from google and shoving them together in paint or Photoshop with no hint of care or artistry. I have issues with shit fonts which look like they were worked in wordart circa 2000. But mostly:   Bolloc

Update On Where I've Been

All right, I think it's about time I sat down and gave everyone the full rundown of what happened. Over the past two and a half weeks I have lived a romance novel as deep and epic as anything I've ever written. I wouldn't have believed it if it hadn't happened to me, yet here I am, and oh what a story it is. It begins three years ago, before I found myself back in writing again. I was twenty-five, almost twenty-six, and trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

A New Underground Railroad- Story Idea

I was chatting with some friends on facebook and got an interesting idea if things do go sour for LGBT in affected areas.   What if a new underground railroad was set up to help runaway gay kids find safe havens in states like Massachusetts or California.   My first thought on this, it is basically illegal to help a child under the age of consent to run away from his/her family, so I pointed out that if this were our solution, we'd likely face some jail time just like traditional abolitionis

Possibly Or Accidentally

Hello guys.   As you all know, I am not out of closet and still think staying there will be better for a while. But sometimes somethings are just occurs as it's God's will.   Yesterday I possibly... accidentally... outed myself to my brother. I was checking on anthology stories and one is on my phone's display. He just took the phone and as unlocked, he looked at the page and almost two are three seconds been there as he has the mobile. But immediately I just pressed the home button and le

It's All About Attitude

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thy .45 and thy ka-bar they comfort me. For I am one of Uncle Sam’s misguided children and I am the worse thing out here on this dark cold night.

Being Fixed - More Issues

Sooooo, went for my pre-op appointment on Thursday. Nurse is concened about my blood pressure. "You need to see your GP, Mr. Landon." Really?   "This likely won't stop your surgery but you need to go." Okay.   So I go home and make an appointment for Friday morning.   Friday. Yes, it's still high, but not as bad as I was at the hospital. "I'd like to get you started on meds, Tim, but you were a walk-in patient and we don't have any history. I need to do some tests before I can do any

Just Some Thoughts On The Election Results . . .

If all goes according to the Constitution, Donald Trump will become the 45th President of these the Divided States of America on Friday, January 20, 2017.   I suppose by the following Monday the order will go out to either the Army Corps of Engineers or some other government entity to begin construction on the Great Wall of America. When we threaten to bomb major cities in Mexico for not being forthcoming with the funds to cover the project is open to speculation because how else will we make
