New audio book – Something Like Stories

January 31st, 2016 | Books, Something Like Stories

Something Like Stories is out on audio! If you haven’t read it yet, this is a fun collection for four different stories, giving some characters their own story for the first time while catching up with old favorites as well. Going into this one, I felt terrible for the narrator, Kevin R. Free, because there...

A new Something Like… story every month!

January 23rd, 2016 | Books, Holiday, Random, Something Like Summer

Late last year I started this thing where I would write new stories, and anyone who wanted to read them would send a little cash my way. Not so different from normal publishing except there are less middle men, editors, and all the other usual filters I run my stuff through. In other words, it’s...

The world of gay fiction has been steadily growing, not only in terms of authors and books, but readers as well. Unfortunately, it’s not near as big as other genres out there. Not even close. That means it’s a little hard to earn a living doing what I love most. Would it surprise you to...

Something Like Stories out today!

When I agreed to write a short story to help fundraise the Something Like Summer movie, I honestly didn’t have a solid concept in mind. I didn’t even consider myself very good at writing short stories. So I approached Something Like Fall by indulging in what I wanted most—to spend time with Benjamin Bentley again....

New Something Like… story, a contest, interviews, and audiobooks. Wow!

July 31st, 2015 | Books, Kamikaze Boys, Movies, Something Like Fall, Something Like Lightning, Something Like Summer, Something Like Thunder

So much is happening! Let’s hop right in! Something Like Fall has been released, and no, I’m not talking about Jace’s story. That was Autumn. I decided to write Fall to help the Something Like Summer movie fundraising efforts, and to give thanks to you guys for pitching in. The story sees the return of...

Something Like Summer in Chinese!

May 6th, 2015 | Books, Something Like Summer

How’s your Chinese? Whatever you answered, I promise you that mine is worse. That’s a shame, considering that Mandarin is the world’s most prominent language. That’s why I’m thrilled and flattered that some very dedicated individuals teamed up to translate Something Like Summer into Chinese! I love the idea of this story and the characters...

[caption id="attachment_4211" align="alignright" width="147"] Andreas had nothing to do with this crappy cover. He's still working on the real deal.[/caption]Rumble rumble rumble. That’s supposed to be the sound of thunder. Or is it my stomach grumbling? Maybe it’s both, like I’m standing in the middle of a thunder storm while feeling really hungry. Sad story,...

You think I’m the breast!

Or at least someone was kind enough to nominate me and my books for a number of awards. The M/M Romance Member’s Choice awards are here again, which I adore, since they are decided by the masses. It is a popularity contest, and I think that’s great (even if I don’t win anything!) since it’s...

Something Like Fall – Ben is back!

November 23rd, 2014 | Books, Gay, Movies, Something Like Summer

The Seasons series isn’t over! I’ve always been amused by the idea of writing a story to represent fall. Sure, we’ve already tackled autumn, but I kept this loophole in mind, figuring Something Like Fall could be a special story and not a full-fledged book. That time has come. As many of you have already...
