You're good, here's the complete list! https://gayauthors.org/author/jeff-burton/

Just an update. I've got the chapter nailed down as far as events but I haven't started writing it yet. I've been working on getting the last three Chapters of Encrypted done so I can finally put that one to bed, as soon as it's complete in a couple of days you'll get this one probably by the weekend if something IRL doesn't interrupt me.

Yeah actually it does. And trust me I hate to wrap it up in a privileged conversation but I don't want to risk the sequel not getting done.

Yeah I put that in there just for you lmao. Had to add the electronic creep factor. Like suddenly Cerberus is going to pop out of an iphone and strangle Josh.

One more chapter. That'll post probably day after tomorrow. I'm only halfway through it. Book 2 is going to be a while. I've got so much I'm working on right now I really need a break from this story so it doesn't feel like it's falling on my head. Because when it feels like stuff is falling on my head everything I'm writing suffers because the noise in my head is too loud and I just stop writing.

Thanks for reading and leaving me a comment. I've got a list of works I'm still working on actively, I hope to get my in-progress works done soon so I can start sharing some of the new stuff. Currently I'm working in any genre I can think of just to see what I'm good/not good at because I just write to write. 2026 is going to be a good year for stories.

I appreciate that. And yes, there is one more chapter, the epilogue. It's got some information in it just in case book 2 doesn't happen. While I feel it would be better to let the audience find out this information as Josh does, I don't want to leave people in a perpetual state of hanging, you know, if it doesn't happen. So if required this could stand on it's own as is.

Thank you, it's a job trust me lol.

Man no joke I almost totally did that.

I'm starting to notice that we have a @Topher Lydon Cinematic Universe going on. Because almost all of Topher's characters practically exist in the same universe and they are all from the same town lol.

If Hallmark could produce a movie like this I'd actually watch it. Granny was a schemer, but in the end she knew what was best. This is a great medium sized story that is both funny and well thought out. But I can't give too much away about these cats, (or is it Katz?) you'll have to check it out yourself. You won't be disappointed because it's disgustingly cute.

Faster I get these out, faster I'm done with it lmao. Hope you guys enjoy.

My entry into the void was violent. The memory of the car leaving the road—metal screaming, inertia tearing at bone—followed me in, and the darkness answered in kind. The black didn’t welcome me this time. It slammed shut around me, fog boiling as if under pressure, stretching and recoiling as the memory I had just relived tore free and dragged others with it. Not fragments. Not echoes. Floodwaters. The void fought to contain it. Thunder rolled low and constant, not distant but i

I'm going to miss the disgustingly cute Doily Dungeon updates. Granny's plan worked.

I have a cousin that makes me flinch just by coming close to me with a finger extended. I've been tickle tortured before and I'm not strong enough. 😂

Encrypted was my first touch into thriller/suspense and while I'll admit its taken a lot out of me, the experience has been worth it. I'm going to have to explore adding to these other thriller genres in the future to see what I can get away with. As for what you said about @Topher Lydon? I swear the man has a USB-C port direct into his brain stem that he plugs into a macbook, because the amount of text he types on a daily basis is insane, and all of it is so beautifully well done.

Aww you poor thing. It tends to mess up on me too I haven’t used it since Jacob’s Advocate forever ago. I just need to stop posting unpublished stuff to the site because it sits there waiting taunting me to let the world see its greatness. when the reality is it’s there so I don’t back out of writing it to begin with lol. Plus it helps it have something available should I keel over stone cold dead one day, I’ll leave you guys with *something.*

I am ticklish and I have a taser and I’m not afraid to use it lol.

This was a really good chapter, like finally some violence. You’ve been edging it for a while. I don’t know why we are referring to Kier as Kier right now all I’m seeing is Kieran. He’s the King yet still weak. Ben is right, Kieran hasn’t earned him and seriously? Backing off from a wee bit of pain in his shoulder? Oh the poor baby has a boo-boo. I would have slapped the shit out of Ben then took my damn kiss even if it did mean I died from a ruptured spleen. Kier might be playing the part of a King but Ben is playing the part of a God, and as long as he fears that God he is no King. Case in point as I’m writing this I’m sat a subway shop, daughter of a family friend works there and I pick her up to take her home. There’s a shady guy working the parking lot I’ve had my eye on for the last hour. I always know where he is. She calls me because she needs to take rubbish out to the bins before we leave and she’s scared cos of the shady guy. So I go “Oi! Problems mate?” In the best British accent I can mutter. I’m dressed in crap Riley would wear actually with my hands in my hoody. Dude just walks away far away. Anyway there’s real confidence and theirs the illusion of confidence Kier needs to figure out which he’s actually got.

“12345” ”What kind of password is that? That’s the kind of thing an idiot would use on his luggage.”

I’m kinda hoping for that Aston Martin myself.

Wait till you see the file name even the other him is going to get it wrong the first time 😂

Yeah I’ve learned my lesson lol. This one went over 100k words another first for me. I’ll complete what’s already on the table on the other stories but book 2 is getting written the slow way. And I won’t be posting it until it’s near completion. I’ve got some other stuff I’ve been writing in that manner, slowly working my way forward so I hope to be able to share those with you on a normal schedule. If nothing else but to give yall something to read while I’m working on the next one.

I just want to say that this chapter has exceeded my expectations, I’m glad I took the time with it. We’ve managed to go through an entire book without a single kiss, a long glance across the room and this is probably the most technical, plot heavy thing I’ve ever written. Theres only two more chapters to this tale and I hope I end it in a way that not only satisfies your questions in a manner that doesn’t seem rushed, because there is just so much more to tell. The simple truth is if I tried to keep it all one story it would be in progress forever without regular updates and I know how annoying that is. Because of what this is, the writing has to remain consistent and somewhat heavy to maintain the vibe and actual story and that actually takes a lot out of me right now. I need a break from it. I need to close a chapter of this and be able to walk away. So I can let what I’m planning for book 2 to stew a bit and actually be as good as book one. Author fatigue is a real thing and sometimes it gets harder the more we press on. There is so much more of Josh’s story to tell because he’s not done figuring himself out at the end of this book if anything he’s just beginning, and I don’t want to ruin his chances his character or his story because I got burned out. You guys made this story one of the top reads in its genre. It made the top 5 slot in most recommended for 2025. That wasn’t just me, it was you as well. Chapter 17 will be here soon enough, and an epilogue will be done for Chapter 18 as we start to transition our hero from the shambles of book one to the hope of book 2. Thank you all for everything.

That’s a good way to spin my delays! 😂 Thank you! Thank you for reading, next chapter is coming quick I won’t make people wait too long for it.
