BLURB

Robert Montagnet and Dan Cooper are a nice gay couple who live in a nice waterfront condo in a nice, touristy part of Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

At least, that’s who they’re pretending to be.

After five months on the lam, Dr. Crane is strained to the point of breaking—he just wants it to be over. But, with his mental and physical health in decline, living where he doesn’t speak the language and relying on his partner for everything, he feels trapped.

Just the way Max likes it, of course.

When Crane is presented with an opportunity to clear his name once and for all, he’s compelled to take it… But, it means betraying the young man who thoroughly intoxicates him in ways he had never imagined possible.

Can Crane break his addiction or is he too far down the rabbit hole to escape?

Update to Max, the Sequel

by

Howdy folks - after wrangling the timeline into proper place, I've released the first (very unedited, very much in progress) 29k of Max, the Sequel to silver subscription members.

You can find it here - mind the warnings and don't read it if you're impatient like me... I'm not sure when it'll actually be finished and published (soon I hope! I'm finally in the last stretch...)

More Edits. Done Yet?

Done yet?

Long day of editing yesterday. stretches shoulders I really should get myself a good chair and desk soon before I become a cripple. The print version of Caged is on track to be released on the 15th. I'm still waiting for some more edits but I'm hoping they'll be minor, or already taken care of in the first batch, so I don't have to spend so many hours digging through the book again.

It's interesting to see how my writing has matured.

New chapter finished for the sequel. I'm on track there too - passed the 1/3 mark. I'm wondering, however, if this book might be a smidge longer. There's so much of the story left to tell.

I also have to get back to a writing side-project that I'm working on.

And... I have to stop thinking about this other book I have to write. It can wait... I can't do everything at once.

 

Grey skies… cozy on the couch with my dog.

Finished chapter 10 of the sequel to Caged - working title "Beyond the Spires" - and it's going well. I like the pace at which its going, considering I'm also in the middle of a collaborative project with another author (which just hit the 35K word mark this week).

I keep wanting to release excerpts of the WIP but there are spoilers. I wonder how other authors deal with that? Personally I'm the type of guy who absolutely hates spoilers - I go out of my way to avoid them as much as I can, which includes trying not to watching movie previews. (I am currently refraining from looking up anything about The Grand Budapest Hotel - the new Wes Anderson movie.)

I've been looking for a new desk, something antique and sturdy. Working on the couch is going to do in my back eventually.

I got confirmation for the date that my book participates in "Don't Buy My Love" at the Goodreads group M/M Romance - May 16th. Mark your calendars with that date if you want a free e-book in exchange for writing a fair review!

Wondering which retailer pays me the most?

#1 is Payhip. Not a retailer, but an online shop that I've set up myself. This is where I make the most return on my books.

Then after that it gets a little complicated, but these are the three best choices:

At Eden Books*, I make 70% royalties for all titles.

At Smashwords, I make 60% royalties for all titles.

At Amazon, for books OVER $2.99 (USD) I make 70% royalties and for books UNDER $2.99 I make 35%

So... if the book is under $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Smashwords.

If the books is over $2.99, buy from Eden Books or Amazon.

But best of all, buy from my Payhip store :)

*Not all my titles are available at Eden yet as of 25/09/23 - I'm working on it.
