Pride Month: FREE Gay Fiction Excerpt 'The Rescuer'


Here's another excerpt from my novel about gay romance and animal rescue. I enjoyed writing this book immensely. I wish every book I wrote could be focused on animals. And this one has a few twists and turns that make it a little different. I would love to see an animal rescue facility where it's more like an animal hotel, where all the animals are treated as if they are human and every animal is treated with respect. I hope I accomplished th...

Ryan Murphy and Netflix Announcement; Netflix Under Fire for "Queer-Erasing"; The Gay Jewish Matador From Brooklyn

Ryan Murphy and Netflix Announcement

I've been wondering when Netflix would get some new content, so this looks interesting. So far, lately, the only content on Netflix has been bad comedians no one cares about, weird TV shows and movies with poorly dubbed dialogue, and basically nothing worth watching. Seriously. They need something new. It's awful and something like this might help.

Plans for a filmed version of the Tony Award-nominated musical The Prom have moved forward, with...

FREE Gay Fiction: How To Be a Good Gay Bottom

In keeping with my free pride month excerpts, here's something from my latest, yet to be published novel, How To Be a Good Gay Bottom. I don't have a cover yet, and I might change the title. This is a romance and the part about being a gay bottom isn't the main focus of the book. It's only part of the focus.

This love story is mostly about a young man, Paul, who meets an openly gay politician, Gordon, who is running for governor of his state, and ho...

Pride Month: FREE Gay Fiction Excerpt: Amish Indiscretion


Here's an excerpt from Chapter 2 of Amish Indiscretion. I couldn't post the entire chapter because I self-censor on Google Blogger and I don't want to cross any lines, however, the entire chapter is an introduction to one of the main characters, Filbert, who finds himself in an awkward situation with a very sexually aggressive man. And Filbert, being sheltered and Amish all his life, is not sure how to get out of that situation. I wish...

Trans Inclusive: Mastercard's New 'True Name'

A lot of trans people have a rough time with their names, and no one seems to make it easier. Here's something that's going to help out a lot.

Mastercard is rolling out a “True Name” program in which cardholders can replace their debit, credit, and prepaid cards with ones bearing the name they actually use, and a legal name change isn’t even required.

More About 'Summer Penis'

I've posted about the concept of summer...

FREE Gay Excerpt for Pride Month: Kendle's Fire

Here's a free chapter from Kendle's Fire. I enjoyed writing this book, but I wasn't sure how it would be received by readers. It's different. It's very different. So far, according to the reviews, it seems to have resonated with a few readers. I was hoping that would happen because I see more and more people challenging the masculinity stereotypes.

Here's one reader's opinion:

This is GREAT story!! It's wonderful in its exploration of sexuality and...

Gay Pride: FREE Excerpt Pretty Man

Here's another free excerpt from my novel with Riverdale Avenue Books, Pretty Man. They ask me to do these movie tie-in parodies and I never say no when a publisher asks me to do something. I like working with them and I always learn something new. I also like working with a publisher because I like the direction. When you indie publish like I do all the time you get total freedom, but you don't get any direction.

This is erotic gay romance and I'm only postin...

Pride Month: FREE Gay Fiction Excerpt Blissfully Yours


Here's the first chapter of my recently pubbed novel, Blissfully Yours. It's a little different from my other books because this time we get to see what it's like for the dad of a gay son to deal with his son marrying a man. The dad is totally fine with his son being gay, and he's always more than supportive. However, the dad doesn't like the man his son is planning to marry, as a person. The dad thinks his son could do better and he sets...

Pride Month: FREE Gay Chapter Meadows Are Not Forever
Here's another free chapter from Meadows Are Not Forever. I posted it below for clarity. 
Here's the link to Amazon, and here's a short reader review, in part.
One of the things I loved most about this story is the fact that it dealt with, and focused on, real emotion's that most people have had to face. Especially when it came to dealing with families that may or may not be accepting of their LGBT kids. This is simply put a real, honest...

Pride Month: FREE Gay EXCERPT Chapters 1 and 2 'Altered Parts'; Pete Buttigieg Comments On Black Voters; Ryan Field Gay Fiction

Pride Month: FREE Gay EXCERPT Chapters 1 and 2 'Altered Parts' 

Here's another excerpt for Pride Month from my novel, Altered Parts. It's the first two chapters. I had a good time writing this because it's one of the few retro stories I've ever written. It's set in the 1930s and 40s in the rural mountains not far from Ashville, NC. With one minor character, one of the things I tried to show is that there were, indeed, trans people even back then. It's just that no one knew the word 'trans...
