Hello to all you isolaters and contact-dodgers and mask-wearing heroes, who struggle on, even though Nature is trying to kill us all. Like many of you I was struck down by the dreaded Covid, too, so I have been isolating as well. It gave me some time to write, though, and a new book named Family Game Night is the result. It is similar in plot to Dad's Dating Advice, but with very different characters whose lives are different as well.

It's seventeen chapters long, with an afterward that isn't really part of the story, so does not have to be read. I'll put out a couple of chapters a day until I run out of chapters.

I got a couple of shorter things finished, too, but we'll talk about them at some future date.

Be well. Maybe when every swinging dick (or bouncing boob) has caught this thing we'll gain enough herd immunity to get ready for the next one.

Thanks for reading,
Bob

Hello again. This time I'm posting one that's a little different than my usual story. On the other hand it has many of the same elements I'm known for.

The most important thing I want to say about it is for you not to be put off by the title. The title is a little deceptive but I just couldn't resist using it.

It's called But I Thought you were Gay! and it's a western. Rather than rehash why the title is misleading, just read the foreword, which explains things.

It's seven chapters long so it will be posted in one week.

I hope many people have a good time with it.

Thanks for reading.

The way I write is that I'll be driving down the road one day and I see a billboard that gives me an idea for a story. Or I hear something on the radio. As soon as practicable I jot down the idea and put it in my "projects folder". If I finish something, then I can go look in the projects folder for something else to do.

The other way this happens is that I'm reviewing something I already wrote, and which one of my kind readers has notified me has a mistake of some kind in it. I also review stories when a reader makes a specific comment such as "I loved the ending of chapter three." I go look and see how chapter three ended. Believe it or not, I can't remember the details of all 300 books and stories I've written.

So I'll be re-reading a book and think "Oooo, it could have gone this way!"

So I write it "this way". The plot is similar, but the characters are different. It's kind of like the way I do Alpha, Bravo and Charlie versions of the same book.

Some of you have heard all this before, but I wanted to remind you because I'm going to put up a two chapter "re-thinking" of some other things I've written.

It's called Preparing Amanda for Marriage. It won't go behind the pay wall until it's combined into an anthology of short stories that gets marketed, so you can take your time reading it.

It's basically about a father (who happens to be a teacher) who actually looks at the curriculum for what is called "Sexual Education" in his school. He feels like it does nothing to prepare young people for becoming sexual adults. He feels compelled to give his daughter some home schooling on the subject, since she has been asked to prom.

As I said, old plot, new characters.

I hope you read it and I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for reading.

Okay, the review process is finally over and Version Bravo of The Asian Blues is ready to post.

I got a some mail during the posting of Version Alpha that referred to my "teaser" about Bravo involving incest. A lot of people said, basically, "Don't ruin this nice story by turning it into a sordid mother/son incest story."

I get that. And I would agree except that I don't think Bravo turned out sordid at all. I think it's the story of a mother, assisted by a young Asian woman, who faces heart-breaking challenges. This is a mother lioness who would run through fire to save her cub. We hear the phrase "I'll do anything!" associated with this or that traumatic situation someone wants a solution to. I think that's a little overdone, in fact, but Vicky would probably do literally anything to keep her son healthy and with a future that at least resembles normal.

Anyway. It's ten chapters long with an epilogue and it should be finished posting this week, assuming the chapters I'm about to upload get processed today.

I don't want to ruin anything for anybody. So, if you liked the Alpha version and don't want it 'ruined,' then don't read the Bravo version. It's simple.

As always, thanks to Michelle and Andy for making my books better and thanks to all of you for reading them.

A lot of you have asked when The Asian Blues - Version Bravo is coming out. It's still in editing and will probably be out during March, but I've been doing a few shorter stories while I worked on longer books. So I'm going to post one of those now. It's only three chapters long so it will be fully up by Wednesday

It's called I Married a Porn Star and it's pretty much exactly what it sounds like.

Except there are always details the average person usually doesn't get to know and that's what this story is actually about. Questions get answered.

Why does a woman decide to start doing porn?

What about her husband, if she's married?

Does she have any control at all over what she has to do?

Why would a man even want to marry a porn star?

Or, you can just look at it as a stroke story that I didn't code that way. It's up to you.

I'll just be glad if you read it.
