A few days ago, I finished up the formatting for a paperback edition of The Complications of T - I'd received a few emails/PMs asking about whether or not it would ever be in print - and it is now available at Amazon or CreateSpace :) It's not very big, but it makes for a very pretty little book. I had this blog post in draft, planning on posting it next week, but then I received this a few minutes ago and thought I would share it with you now:
"Hello Mr. Deckard, I wanted to write to you to thank you from the very bottom of my heart for writing this book. I just finished it and tho I wanted it to last much longer, like what happened when they met up again and what happened to Stuart's career? I really loved it. I'm F2M who has struggled with the obsesson of "passing" for over ten years now. But you know what is better than passing? Its realizing that its just a construct of society putting strict values one being a man or woman. I think that you perfectly captured what took me so long to accept and wrote it beautifully. Tim's story could be my story, I see myself in him so much (tho I think he's probably much more handsome!)
So thank you! There needs to be more stories like this! You're right. You shouldn't overthink it and I think that attitudes will change and be more accepting over time. But I have two questions so here: why is there no paper back version and can I get one signed if there is? Two: will you write about Tim and Stuart again?"
I sent back an email with my response and the gist is: Yes, there is now a paperback version (and anyone who ever wants to get a signed copy of something simply needs only send me an email or message).
And... yes, Tim and Stuart are going to be back in book 4 of The Actor's Circle, slotted for mid-to-late 2016.
