Watch out! Print and eBook copies of Something Like Summer have been unleashed and are rampaging the internet! If there’s only one book of mine you try, I would totally give you my first born child if you make it this one. Never before or since have I written something quite so personal, so near to my heart. Not that this is the story of my past, because it isn’t, but I did draw heavily from my experiences of being an openly gay teenager in high school. Feeling alienated and alone, even after coming out? Check. Falling in love with the wrong person, realizing it, and loving them anyway? Oh, yeah. Been there. Being brave enough to seduce the hottest guy in school? Uh, I only wish! Something Like Summer travels beyond high school too, into that strange wilderness of adulthood that we’re promised is less complicated, even though it really isn’t.

I should warn you that there is scalding hot sex in this novel as well. Oh, okay, that’s less of a warning and more of a calculated sales pitch. However, this book is about the nature of relationships and one aspect of that is physical intimacy. There are some graphic sex scenes, but tastefully done and tempered with heart. That’s all that matters to me in a story, is being able to relate to the heart of a character no matter how similar or different they are to me.

For those with a trigger finger, there are some buying options to the right. The eBooks are dirt cheap, but if you prefer paperback, you can get 10% off the price when buying directly from CreateSpace. Just use the code X6VKP2K4 during checkout. Not only is this cheaper for you, but my royalties almost double, so it works well for both of us. Don’t let the shipping dates scare you off either, since CreateSpace delivers much faster than they claim. For those still uncertain or tight on cash, there is more information and free chapters here.

I hope you enjoy reading Something Like Summer. Be sure to drop me a line once you’ve done so. The second greatest thrill of being an author (after writing of course) is hearing the thoughts and feedback of the readers.
