ALL earnings from my books on Smashwords are going to help StopCrush.org

I just want to remind everyone that at the end of this month and again in April (Smashwords pays quarterly), ALL my earnings for Crush, Bright and my short stories are going to assist in the effort to overturn the piss poor ruling that Judge Lake Sim of Austin TX made in the case vs. the 2 monsters Brent Justice and Ashley Richards. These 2 lowlife sacks of shit tortured and murdered countless animals for the crush video industry. As some of you know I named my first novel Crush partly because of this horrific industry. I am giving all the money I make in the next 2 payments from Smashwords to help with this upcoming trial. In a bit, I will post links to the books on the Smashwords site. Here is info about the crush video trial, coming up on March 10th. It is an ongoing online fundraiser to help with the costs of traveling to support StopCrush.org. https://www.facebook.com/events/49535...

You can purchase Crush on Smashwords here:

In March 2014, the battle against crush videos goes to court...

MARCH 10, 2014 a very important date to me and to anyone who loves animals and children!

On this date, the stupid ruling of judge Lake Sims in Austin, TX will be presented in argument and will hopefully be overturned. Sims apparently believes that crush video is protected by freedom of speech. NO! YOU DO NOT GET PROTECTION UNDER FREEDOM OF SPEECH WHEN YOU MUTILATE, RAPE, TORTURE AND MURDER ANIMALS or USE CHILDREN DRESSED IN LINGERIE TO STAR IN YOUR VIDEOS OF MURDERING ANIMALS! And remember what we learned from that idiot redneck Phil (Duck Dynasty), freedom of speech does not mean you do not have CONSEQUENCES TO FACE due to your actions and words!

I am getting paid by Smashwords at the end of this month. Every cent I make at the end of January and again at the end of April is going to support this case, this cause and this heroic organization!

Brent Justice and Ashley Richards tortured and murdered countless innocent animals to placate an evil, sadistic underground industry of dangerous sexual deviants! Brent Justice and Ashley Richards belong BEHIND BARS and AWAY FROM ALL LIVING CREATURES, HUMAN AND NONHUMAN! Please support this cause by donating to StopCrush.org. And if you can, please attend this event benefit:

Crush Audio-Visual Book anyone?

I don't want to call it "the Crush video" because that word association just makes me angry and uncomfortable. So I am calling it the "Crush Audio-Visual Book" which is kind of like an audiobook only better because you can see things too, like cool pictures and art, to give you a visual experience while I read aloud my book. (I also made a no-voiceover version for those who do not want to hear my annoying voice reading LOL)

It's an experiment. It is going to take a long, long time to complete. I'm hoping to do a chapter a week, maybe more sometimes. So far, I have created the non-voiceover video for the Prologue where Tammy Mattheis is interviewed at the Sommerville Police Station after Jamie disappears around December 29/30, 2011.

Please take a look and please, let me know what you think. Love it? Hate it? Good idea? Bad idea?

Thank you everyone! Share my youtube vids and please subscribe if you enjoy! :)

The latest FAQ videos for CRUSH and BRIGHT!

Hi everyone...I'll bet this is my last blog of 2013. Hope everyone has a wonderful new year. It just turned New Year's Eve Eve LOL.

I have a new video for the FAQ series for Crush. The question is Why does Tammy sleep with so many girls/women before and after he falls for Jamie? A bonus question: Wasn't Jamie jealous of this?

Here's the link to that video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1hB-...

I have also finally launched a FAQ series for my newest book, Bright. Many readers and potential readers have asked about the cheating/menage content in Bright. I made a total of 3 videos, the first one introducing the FAQ series

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2zPa...

and the 2nd and 3rd videos attempting to answer the content question with a reading of an excerpt from Chapter 18 of Bright.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQkgm... part 1 of chap 18 reading

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy6AV... part 2 of ch 18 reading

Enjoy everyone!!!

There will be more short stories of Tammy and Jamie

I just got a review about my short story COLD FOOT. Indeed it is a bleak story...not much to be joyful about and definitely not in the erotica genre.

I just want to assure readers that if the fates are willing, I will be writing happier stories of Tammy & Jamie of CRUSH in the very near future. One story I've already written in longhand is OLD CARS, a story about a young autistic boy who unexpectedly comes into the lives of Tammy & Jamie, and THE BUTTERFLY (formerly called THE HOUSE ON GLASS BEACH).

As a matter of fact, I am thinking of titling my short story compilation THE HOUSE ON GLASS BEACH. All of my short stories will be tied to CRUSH in some way, and my novel BRIGHT, the middle section (book 2: Blind) sheds quite a lot of light onto Tammy's childhood situation with his Uncle Price, as told by Nattie Mattheis (Tam's cousin). Also, in BRIGHT, when Nattie, Monty and Walter lose their first baby, Tammy, along with Jamie and Tammy's mom Peggy, come to Idaho to attend the funeral.

For those of you who love Tammy & Jamie, the story COLD FOOT takes place in a time frame somewhere near the end of CRUSH, but not after the end of it. It takes place sometime after they move to Fort Bragg. In my novel BRIGHT, Tammy, Jamie and Natalie will travel to Pride in SF, CA and there Nattie will meet Monty & Walter.

I am also planning either a novel or a smaller novella about the life of Lloyd Tafford, the policeman who rescued Jamie after his parents were killed. It will be a love story that hints at Lloyd being a homoromantic asexual. He meets a man named Derek in police academy and they fall for each other. It will be sad in some ways, but such is life.

I am also going to write more about Bernadette Swinning, the woman in COLD FOOT. She has a connection to Tammy's life, as told in COLD FOOT, but she also has a connection to the mother of Jamie Pearce, Dawna Pearce. I believe this will be a novel or novella as well.

For the most violent and uncomfortable story I've written, OUR HOUSE, there is a connection to CRUSH as well. The victim in that story, Amelia Blankenship, is tied to Dawna and Jamie Pearce.

So right now I am working on OLD CARS, and from there, we'll see! :D
