3. Set Expectations Early Plan on having a few exploratory meetings with a new mentee to determine what the mentee hopes to get from the exercise, and more importantly, what you will be able to offer them in terms of your time and support. You don’t want to invest too much effort before you realize that you can’t provide what the mentee needs. — Employee Handbook: Mentoring Boston “Hello?” said a voice I recognized as Jonah’s. Having dialed the number on the piece of pa

The second chapter to Not Your Mentor is now up. For those wondering, the story currently runs about 14 chapters, though some of those are only in outline form, so the final number may be plus or minus one or two. It's been pointed out I put Las Vegas in one subtitle in place of New Orleans. I blame the fact that I referred to the "What happens in Vegas" motto at one point, and confused myself! In other news, my first book is now available on Amazon. Its called They're Watching You, and it's a gay romance, though there's also a thriller/mystery element to it.

Ops, yeah, that should have been New Orleans. I'll have to fix that, though I think because I'm still in the moderation queue, if I change it, the chapter might be unpublished for a while....

2. Every Mentorship Is Different If you’ve been a mentor before, don’t expect that this one will be the same. Different people need entirely different things; whether it’s because of their personality, where they are in their career, or the particular issues that they are struggling with. Reset your expectations every time. — Employee Handbook: Mentoring Boston By the morning of the next day, I had spent a lot of time thinking about Jonah Harris, and what—if anything—I

1. Show A Genuine Interest A good mentor gets to know and understand the interests and skills of the person they are mentoring. It is only by showing a genuine interest in the individual that they will be able to offer meaningful advice and counsel. — Employee Handbook: Mentoring Boston The second time I saw him was at a company meeting. All of the major divisions of our company hold All-Staff meetings every three or four months. They are a chance to update everyone on

Brian, a successful VP of Technology, meets a young man during a vacation in New Orleans. After a brief affair, Brian returns to Boston, only to discover that the young man now has an entry-level position at his company. which makes things very complicated.

“She knew,” he whispered. Milo had just hung up from speaking with his mother, and he seemed happy, but he was hanging on to me tightly. “She knew?” I asked, not sure what it was that she knew. “That I’m gay.” “Oh. How’d she know? Did your father tell her?” I asked, surprised. I didn’t think his father talked to his mother, and I wondered if my mother had told her. Or Emily Hill. Milo pulled back a little and stared at me intently. “Juanita. I guess Juanita has been keepi

Thanks. I hope you like it. The next (and final) chapter should be posted by early next week.

I've posted the first part of my fanfiction conclusion to With Trust, a story originally written and posted by DomLuka. I think With Trust is one of my favorite pieces of gay fiction; I've read it several times, and I was disappointed that it was never concluded. Not that I blame the author for not doing so - I have stories that I've not completed, I know what that's like. But I still wondered what happened to Nelson and Milo. The idea of running away to the boat at the end of the last chapter was tantalizing. But what kind of boat was it? A sail boat or a motor boat? For a long time I imagined that it was a sail boat, and they attempted to sail it away, maybe down to Florida; though in truth, I could never even work out where Heywell was; Google Maps hasn't heard of it. I began writing the story for my own amusement, and I started with the sail boat, and then things just fell into place as I wrote it. With Trust - A Conclusion is in two parts. The second part should be posted in about a week.

Glad you enjoyed it srchr35.

In the comments in the original story you'll see many people asking. Someone who claimed to know Dom posted that he had decided to stop writing, but as far as I know there's been no official word from Dom.

I’d just hung up from talking to Milo when my bedroom door opened and I spun around, half expecting it would be Mr Trust demanding to know where I’d hidden his son. But it wasn’t Mr Trust, and after my phone call, it was someone I wanted to talk to even less than Milo’s father. “Are you alright Nelson?” my mother asked. “Yeah, Mom. I’m okay,” I said, hastily pushing the phone into my pants pocket. I saw my mom’s eyes fall to my hand, then turn back to my face, and I worried about the

I have long enjoyed the writings of DomLuka. His two stories, Desert Droppings and With Trust are two of my favorite gay, coming of age stories. Unfortunately, Dom never posted an ending to With Trust, which disappointed me tremendously, because I always wanted to know if Nelson got his painter. So here’s my fanfiction ending to With Trust; it won’t make any sense unless you have read the original story, so go read that first. If anyone else wants to write an alternative ending, I’d love to read that too!
