MANY WAYS TO SAY, “MORE!”

I love writing the whole gamut. I recall my first editor telling me to be a good author I needed to learn to write love, violence and sex, and write it in such a way that it’s never quite enough. Just enough to pique the appetite, and enjoy a first, long, satisfying taste. Just but never enough. I’ve spent years learning how to do just that and follow that advice religiously. Not in terms of a common template, mind you, but with infinite diversity in application.

To see an example, one has only to read the techno-political thriller QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) by A. G. Hayes with Raymond Gaynor, the fifth in the riveting, multi-award-winning Koski and Falk Series in which agents Susan Koski and Joseph Falk come up against what very well may prove to be their most complex and dangerous antagonist yet: The Quantum Death Machine. For the first time, Koski and Falk must separate during a mission, each facing mortal peril, while, at the same time, their smoldering relationship begins to heat up.

I used a similar approach in the doubly naughty political thriller TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese: President-Elect Mathias “Alexander the Great” Jackson learns on election eve that the current President has resigned with over a trillion dollars in petroleum securities, leaving the US leaderless and facing an economic crisis of unparalleled proportions. President Jackson, wrongly accused of manufacturing the crisis, turns to his two must trusted political aides, Adelphous Tripler and Shawn Clarke. Committed lovers, Tripler and Clarke must reluctantly separate to carry out a series of incredibly challenging tasks for their discredited leader that takes them around the globe. With murder and mayhem facing them every step of the way, will they manage to get back to each other alive?

While THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor, the sequel to TOTAL MELTDOWN, was deliberately written as a SciFu (Science-based Future Studies) novel, I once again followed my basic prescription of utilizing several ways for readers to say “More!” Taking up where TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese left off, NewAmerica, a shadow of its former United States of America, provides a challenging and dangerous future place for three young firebrands to live.

The Edge of Madness

All my works are gender equitable, LGBTQ, erotically intriguing and romantic. Love, violence, sex. Designed for the reader to want, “MORE!” And, yes, I’m already working now on the sequel to THE EDGE OF MADNESS tentatively called “Prophesy.”
