Not finished yet, but not abandoned. And since all of my stories feature HEA endings, I figured it wasn’t too much of a spoiler.

Chapter 2 Bumpy Landing Andy stirred. He wasn’t fully conscious, but he could sense heat and dampness, wrinkled sheets clinging to his sweaty skin. The pain swirling around his head prevented him from opening his eyes fully, and through the slits he managed to produce, Andy could only see darkness. He also heard, as from very far away, the sound of rain pounding down on walls and windows. Very slowly, and painfully, he pulled himself to a sitting position, a loud groan slipping fro

It's not really a spoiler to let you know that those pix are going to have a huge impact on Andy (and Will). And poor Andy is indeed floundering.

Thanks so much for reading.

I'm glad you think so. Thanks for reading.

Andy stared into the mirror. “What have they done to me?” he asked himself, not recognizing the person he saw reflected; though, if he were honest with himself, Andy would admit he hadn’t known exactly who the man in the mirror was for some time. “Come on, Andy,” his co-star pleaded, “it’ll be fun. You can show off your new hair.” “That’s not really selling the idea,” he said. “I hate it.” “Blonds are supposed to have more fun. Come out with us and see if it’s true. We need to be cel

Prologue Six years earlier Eighteen year old Andy Herrington sighed as he fidgeted in his canvas chair while waiting for the reporter from Entertainment Today to settle into the seat opposite him. In the distance, Andy could hear the sounds of the crew and most of the rest of the cast raised in merriment as they began the wrap party. Even though, as befitted a wholesome show on a family oriented network, the wrap party was unlikely to be a rager, Andy still would have liked to be the

Former teen star Andy Herrington has one last shot at making it big. How much is he willing to sacrifice to make his dreams come true?

I do see some of the suggestions; like I see how the possible infidelity doesn’t really advance the plot (though I personally found it intriguing back story), but I felt the sister in law actually presented a believable impediment. this does explain why I am disappointed with a lot of the m\m romance I read on kindle unlimited. They’re usually pleasant enough, but I often find them too sparse and simplistic. I mean amateur writing can suffer from too much unnecessary filler, and I think a great editor can do amazing things, but editing can go too far. i don’t recall title or author, but I read one book with a great premise. American lower class guy goes to Oxford; meets upper class Brit. They end up engaged, but Brit’s parents force him to end it or be disinherited (they don’t love gay thing, but class difference is big issue.). This is all back story; action begins eight years since break up. American is still living in UK and event planner for posh firm; he ends up coordinating Brit’s best friend’s wedding. Brit is now independently (and fabulously) wealthy, but reclusive, financial trader. Problem is there is no real conflict once American decides (fairly early on) to try again, and his back story, which should be really intriguing ( why did he want to go to university in UK? as son of plumber with 4 or 5kids, how did he achieve it? Why did he stay in UK? How did he become a party planner, much less the most sought after one in London?) is never explored. I wonder it the original story was stripped of some “unnecessary” items to make it easier to read.

Does the MC end up with his friend’s dad, living in the Caribbean? It sounds like Knowing I’m Going to Get Fucked by Peterbilt, ended on Dec 2011. That one also ends with a visit to a cemetery a few years after starting, but no bar in final chapter.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Honestly, I got confused and thought Al Green had done the version with Tami Terrell, but then I figured, it's such a great song, might as well feature as many versions as possible. Diana Ross's is my personal favorite, but you can't really dance to that version. I do have tentative plans for a third story, but still working on the idea. I do plan to feature the characters in cameos in other stories set in New Orleans.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I definitely planned on a happy ending from the beginning (though poor Casey didn't make it out alive of the first few drafts), but I wanted a certain amount of realism, and I didn't think a brief relationship, no matter how powerful, would be enough for someone like Waylon to immediately throw the closet doors open. I figured he would need time to decided if it was worth it and then do it slowly and methodically. I do have some ideas for a third book, but they are germinating slowly.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I felt Waylon was the kind of guy who wouldn't rush and wouldn't want to waste Bruno's time; who would want to make sure his "i"s were dotted and his "t"s were crossed before he went forward. He knew Bruno's dealbreaker, and wanted to make sure he was out of the closet. And for someone deep in, stepping out of it can take some time.
