A Rant on Reviews

There’s always something to do and other things waiting in the wings to be done. I kinda get away from it all by doing nothing. I have way too many lazy days where I do absolutely nothing because the “to do” list is so damn long it appears impossible to finish. My brain is constantly working, planning, plotting, doing, fixing. Then there are in the people in my brain, yelling, crying, talking, fighting, fucking. You feel me.

As I was moaning to the Gang members on FB, Mr. A is in Georgia at ou...

Chapter One – Till Betrayal

Things have been moving at warped speed in my life lately. Not so much the writing, but the other stuff. Again, these updates are for those of you who aren’t with me all day on social media.

We found our house, signed off on our house, set up school for kid. All in Stone Mountain, Georgia. We’d originally planned to move at the end of June/beginning of July, but that went out the window these past few days. We’ll be moving in one month instead. Before Memorial Day. Both Mr. A and I have gotten...

Revised Blurb

I had to redo the story blurb for Levi and Van(Lies Sinners Tell)as more details of the story reveals itself to me. Nothing against the old one, but this new one sounds much moreMmm,doesn’t it?

Trapped between the past and the present…

Donovan Cintron is barely hanging on to sanity when he’s assigned to cozy up to Levi Nieto. He expects the job to be simple, uncomplicated even, but he should’ve known better. In Levi, Van finds someone capable of easing the pain of his not-so-distant past, but n...

Breaking the Silence

You know why the long silence, so I’m not even gonna try to explain. Y’all know when I’m in my zone, I’m in ma zone. Alright, yeah been working on lots of things. So many pans in the fire I’m a juggling fool up in here. This update is really for you guys who aren’t in my FB group, because the inmates get all my nagging in real time.

In addition to writing both books—L&V/D&P—I’m also planning a wedding, because yeah, Mr. A and I had to make it legal sometime. Although living in sin does have it...

Juan Pablo Castillo: The Interview (2)

The last book in my Fantasies: Thr33 trilogy has been sent off to my publisher. If they accept it, it’s never a given that they will, look for a release date somewhere late April, early May. I start Levi and Van, Dutch and Patel tomorrow (Friday). I’ll be working on both at the same time, like I said. I’ll keep you up to date with my progress via Twitter and FB, and will of course post here for those of you who aren’t on social media. Yes, I welcome emails asking how it’s coming along, but pl...

Almost There

Forgive me for taking so long in between posts. I’ve been digging deep to finish the last book in the Fantasies: Thr33 trilogy. It’s done, I’m happy to say. It’s MMM, was MMF, but the character’s vag turned into a cock half way through.

Hey, I just write the stuff.

So I just have to make the changes that my darling beta reader suggests and then send that book on to the publisher. Once that’s done, it’s full speed ahead with Levi and Van, and Dutch and Patel.

Yes. I’ll be writing both books at on...

Juan Pablo Castillo: The Interview

Taking a break from writing to bring you some Juan Pablo Castillo. Anything you wanna ask. Do so in the comments.

**Part One**

Av: The infamous Juan Pablo Castillo. At last we meet.

J.P: You’re staring.

Av: Am I, and can you blame me if I am?

J.P: This is supposed to be an interview, so let’s do this.

Av: Got someplace better to be?

J.P: Always.

Av: Cool. Tell me about your life now. How is it different than what it was, say…five years ago?

J.P: Well, for one I’m a married man.

Av: I noticed that. How’...

Part 2: Interview w/a Pretty Boy

Here’s your part two of Shane’s interview. This is the final part. Think I’ve asked all the questions. Next is J.P. but not for a bit.

—-

Av: Your man was in love with someone else for a really long time. His best friend.

Shane: ::nods:: Yes

Av: Yet I see that you and he, and Angel and Gabe are inseparable. You’re close friends now, but there was a time when you doubted J.P. was over him, when you almost gave up on everything because of it.

Shane: I wouldn’t deny learning Angelo was the man who’d...

Interview w/a Pretty Boy

Shane is in the hot seat.

Part One

*****

Av: Thank you, for taking the time to talk to me. I know you must be a very busy man.

Shane: ::Shrugs:: I had five minutes to spare.

Av: So let’s get straight to the most important thing: You’re having a baby.

Shane: Yes.

Av: With your husby.

Shane: Yes.

Av: How do you feel about that?

Shane: Scared shitless, really. We’re about to be responsible for another human being. Half the time we’re not responsible enough to take care of us.

Av: What does that mean?

Shane:...

Updates

Something I learned about myself recently: I don’t like listening to my love scenes. I couldn’t for the life of me keep a straight face when listening to the audio books. I couldn’t take it. I’d fast forward to the other parts, like narrative and dialogue. No sex. My poor heart can’t take it. It’s just too weird man, even for a freak like me.

I had lots of time to think about Levi and Van this weekend. I’m gonna be going back to basics. Deleting most if not all of what I’ve written so far and...
