The Luxorian Fugitive is a phenomenal story. I read it three times, and every time it was captivating. Hadrian and Liam are terrific characters. I also loved the other two books in "The Ship Logs of the Santa Claus"... especially "Priest and Pariahs." "So Little Magic Left" is another favorite of mine, as well as "Little Man" which isn't mentioned here. Thanks for these little insights. I just wanted to say I'm a huge fan. Cheers... Gary....

I might be a tad biased here... Yay for Mann!

Since there's no video of you acting out the scenes, could we get a narrative from your husband about what it looked like? Or was he too busy rolling on the floor?

I highly recommend all three stories and anything else Mann has posted. The relaxed way in which the characters relate to each other has been an inspiration when trying to create similar situations in my stories. It's the same with the clear and concise way in which the stories are written; there are no excess words to pad the count and no excessive mushy descriptions during the romantic scenes.

Mann's stories are for the intelligent reader who thinks about what's happening and can extrapolate minor details. There are things left to our imagination, which allow us to become part of the story by filling in a blank here and there.

Fugitive was my first exposure to Mr. Ramblings. I devoured everything else he'd written afterwards. Hell, the Santa Claus tales are so good I hear characters in other stories are reading them!

So little magic left is one of my favourite stories ever. I've reread it and have to be careful not to start reading it, since I can never stop until it's finished.

The Santa claus series is also very good. I will always have a soft spot for Costa...

I think I can say this without doing a spoiler:

I have to admit I still think Matthew should have told his mother to leave. It would have been easier to catch up with her later, and she didn't deserve to be there.

I could only profile three stories for this feature, so I decided to pick my favorite novel length so far, my first published, and my favorite short (because they are so difficult for me.)

As there is no video footage, there are no actual witnesses to said choreography either.

Thank you, guys! I've been really fortunate to connect with readers who consistently read and look forward to my work. I can't you all enough!

I won't belabor my own affinity for A Cook's Tale since I've rambled on about it before.  However, Mann's work has some important themes I really enjoy sampling again and again.  

He presents gay men as part of an overall social fabric without being considered something different. I find that a refreshing and an interesting take.  I know I struggle with showing that point of view.  He does so without effort and I appreciate his perspective.  

Mann also writes description in a way that is clean and yet gives the reader enough to picture the scene.  The balance he's able to achieve is quite remarkable.  

That's my two cents.  If you haven't read Mann's work, you need to get busy.  His writing is a joy and gives us plenty of food for thought.
