Blurb:
Joshua is preparing for his 16th birthday. He's not only going to tell his parents he's gay, but he's going to introduce them to his boyfriend at his party. On the flip side, his family is preparing for his 16th birthday also. They're going to tell him there's a chance he could be a Shifter. (In their family, if he has the curse, they turn into Werecats). BUT, there's also a 1 in a 100% chance he could be a wild card Shifter. Called a Switcher. Then all bets are off. Because Switchers have no idea what they will become. EVER. And, if he does become a Switcher... every night, at 9 PM (Hey, don't ask me, that's the time his family shifts) he will change form. Man, animal, woman, whatever. He will never look the same again. Life will never be the same for Joshua. Or for his relationship, if he is that wild card. Or his family. Be ready to laugh.

Review:
I wasn't sure what to expect when I read the first two, three pages of the story. I mean, I definitely laughed. A lot.

Joshua, the main character, is funny. Joshua's boyfriend, Daniel, is a sweetheart. I truly like both of them. I enjoy the comedy aspect of the story and the relationship between Joshua and Daniel is wonderful. I'm not going to spoil the story for you, but you'll be howling out in amusement throughout the entire story.

However, underneath all the laughter, I detect subtle hints of insecurity and fears that the readers should be able to empathize with. The fear of losing one's family when you're coming out of the closet, the fear of losing the person you love in the face of uncertainties... The author manages to convey the various emotions throughout the story and remain true to the main genre itself, which is comedy.

If you're looking for a fun read, you should get this book. You'll laugh and probably cry a little as the story progresses, but it's an awesome book. Get it today!

Writing: The Eternity Trilogy

The Eternity Trilogy:
The History/Inspirations behind the series Similar to any other writers, I usually write stories based on things that I’m familiar with. I also enjoy including bits and pieces of my past in all of my stories. This might be a little unusual, but I started the Eternity Trilogy with Book #3 back in November/December 2016. Initially, there was no such thing as “The Eternity Trilogy.” The Books were supposed to be released as standalone books. When I was about 25% done with Book #3, I got the idea for Book #2, so I began to write that instead. Then, I remembered a rough draft that I wrote back in October or November 2016, but it was a nonfiction piece. I opened that and read through it. I was hit by another idea, but I didn’t want to write the story at all. Just when I was getting rather frustrated, I found another rough draft, an almost autobiographical piece, that I wrote at the beginning of 2017. That was the story of how Book #1 came about. Essentially, Book #1 was a combination of two rough drafts, which I then expanded on. Book #2 was the only fresh idea out of the three books in the series. Book #3 was originally written for two different “Calls for Submission” on two different Fantasy/Science Fiction websites, but I ended up changing quite a large chunk of the original drafts. Some of the things mentioned in all three books (Buddhism, Yoga, terminal illness, mysticism, psychic abilities, etc.) are bits and pieces of my life. Writing is a form of therapy for me. I’m a little bit embarrassed to admit this, but I cry when writing about certain things. Book #1 was very painful to write, but I managed to finish it faster than the time it took me to complete Book #3. Book #2 was the easiest and fastest to get done. Book #3 took me the longest to complete simply because it also contained a really huge portion of my real life in it. I debated internally for a very long time if I actually wanted to divulge so much of my real life in the book, but I eventually did that. My bf admitted to me that he found it extremely difficult to read Book #1, especially the first chapter. He was with me through all my ups and downs since January 2013, so I could understand the reason behind his hesitance to continue reading the book. Nevertheless, he finished it. The Characters in the series Largely based on me David Wong from Book #1 Zachariah Wong from Book #3 Inspired by my bf Ryan Callahan from Book #1 All the other Main Characters’ personalities are a combination of my bf and meGenre: Contemporary Paranormal Romance
