Yeah, me too. Nice to know I'm not alone in being corny :D Have a great day.

I's glad you liked it, Jade. Corny as it sounds, that's why I write, to tell a story that hopefully people will enjoy reading. - E.

Okay, I'm a fan. I loved "I Am What I Am". Thanks for a good evenings reading and for giving me the opportunity to sample your writing. Now I REALLY can't wait for "Everyone's Man". :)

Thanks for accepting my friend request, Eddy

Thanks, everyone. Official is me. LMAO.

I'm so proud of you, Eddy and the cover looks fawking amazing!

Look at you! Now you're all official and stuff :)

Edward!! Just saw the book cover! Maybe it's shallow of me, but I want the book for that cover without even knowing what the book's about. Add it to Goodreads, OK? (If you need help with that, PM me.)

I did, Iv. -grinning- It makes it all seem real now. Reese did a fantastic job on it.

Eddy! You got the cover for your book! Woo hoo! Looks fab

No, Missy, it's only available in Hauser's book. However, I will have my own book coming out, in February as it stands at the moment. Believe me, when the time gets closer I'll let you, and everyone else, know what and exactly when. It's being published by Silver Publishing.

Oh, and thanks for the invite. That should have been said first, I know -laughing-

Blurb:

I couldn’t locate a blurb for this short story at the end of G.A.’s book, Julian. This is all I found. So, we’ll go entirely on my review of said story. I just hope I do it justice. I am posting the author’s BIO for you instead and a note from GA.

Bio –
Born and bred in the wilds of suburban Cleveland, I earned a degree in theater and headed straight to NYC. Waiter was me, well aside from a brief stint at an off-Broadway theater. Finally seeing the futility of trying to become rich and famous in the Big Apple, I joined VISTA and ended up in Chicago working at a home for troubled boys. From there it was on to Denver where I’ve been ever since, working as a designer at a costume shop until just recently. I started writing ‘bout three years ago when I joined an on-line fanfic group and discovered I truly enjoyed it.
Since then I started my own loop with two friends and branched out into creating primarily m/m stories, both erotic and just ‘romantic’. I have a son who’s off making a life of his own so I now live with a bossy cat, a decent computer, and enough books to start a small library.

In honor of writing my 50th book this year, each new novel of 2010 will feature an unpublished author’s short story. Introducing Edward Kendrick’s erotic tale;
BETWEEN A STONE AND A HARD PLACE
I hope you enjoy it. G.A. Hauser


Review:

Edward Kendrick is a name I haven’t heard until I came across this story of his by way of GA’s book, Julian, well that and the whisper of a sweet friend, who pointed me in the right direction showing me the story.

Seeing as how the story is short, I can’t give away too much without ruining it for you so I’ll keep this as spoil free as I can.

Between A Stone And A Hard Place, is one of the sweetest short stories I’ve read in a long time. Mychael and Stone, the story’s main characters meet at work quite by accident one night when they both stayed late. Winston, who is known as Stone, is from New Hampshire and has only been in town for a couple days so he knows almost no one and asks Mychael if he’d like to go for a drink to unwind. Mychael, who shares a home with two other men, hesitantly agrees because the idea of going home to an empty house has no appeal whatsoever. Stone chose a bar nearby so they’re able to walk and talk about where they’re from and their families. Mychael is from my home state, Chicago, so of course I took an instant liking to the guy. He’s a bit reserved at the start simply because he isn’t honest with Stone about his situation at home.

The two get along very well once they get over a misunderstanding that almost ended the relationship before it even began. They have a few drinks they get a little drunk, and dance. That hot dance gets the blood to moving, the emotions to soaring, and the mood is set. They end up at Stone’s to take care of business and let me just tell you, Edward can write a hot as hell sex scene without making it dirty.

For a week these two are inseparable. Mychael fails to go home, no one’s there anyway, and because they work together, it’s very convenient to car pool and all that. They get along well, and even begin working out with one another…NOT in bed okay. They go to the gym and get all sweaty instead, before they hop in bed. Well, one day after a nice workout Mychael gets a call he isn’t able to ignore and things heat up.

The only complaint I have is one that is common with short stories. I wanted MORE. These two well drawn out characters became almost real to me in under the thirty pages they’re a part of. I want to know more about them. I want to know what Stone did in his past. I want to know how Mychael met his room mates, and most importantly I want to see Mychael and Stone as they are now. This story is so well done that it left me with wishing for more. Dialog was easy flowing, very natural and real. The characters believable and so very likable. I loved the plot and the hot as hell sex. But most importantly, I found a new author I’d like to get to know.

Helleth hath frozen over. Run my love, she's found us. :groaning:

Look Both my fav men in the same place again. Give me love n hugs hotness's *grins*
