Chapter 2 "The Nymphomaniac" posted

Posted at
 

As promised, I'll be posting a chapter of "The Nymphomaniac" on SOL each week. I posted Chapter 2 yesterday. The link is: https://storiesonline.net/s/29730:267639/chapter-2-the-nymphomaniac

For those of you who were teenagers in the 1950s, I hope the story brings back memories. Julie is actually 8 years older than me. But she's living in my house in my neighborhood and going to my high school.

For those of you younger, try to understand that it was a much different time. The dress code for the high school, for example, was actually what I remember. In the story I don't think I mentioned that boys had to wear a collared shirt, but I once went to school wearing a turtleneck sweater because it was cold. A teacher stopped me in the hall and pulled the turtleneck out and looked inside for a collar. I was only wearing an undershirt underneath. She sent me home to change. So try to live the Fifties the way it was for Julie, and forget how it is now.

"The Nymphomaniac" now on SOL

Chapter 1 of "The Nymphomaniac" is now available on SOL. I will post a chapter a week until all 70 chapters are posted. The link to it is: https://storiesonline.net/s/29730:267434/chapter-1-the-nymphomaniac

For those not familiar with my writing, I don't like long chapters, both as a reader and an author. I guess the average chapter size for this novel is between 2,500 and 3,000 words. Of course I sometimes have a 6,000-word chapter when it's right to do so.

My writing style is influenced by authors of thriller novels. I don't write thinking about posting a chapter a week. I write as if the full novel is available, so I like to end a chapter with a page-turner (expecting the next page to be there). Not necessarily a cliff hanger, but with a realization or a question that needs to be answered. Again, the thriller genre influence that leaves the reader in suspense so they turn the page to the next chapter. Of course, that's not a problem for those who buy the full novel on Bookapy or wait for the entire story to be put on SOL, but for those reading a chapter at a time, I thought I should mention it.

Novel Published

Posted at
 

The novel I've been working on for over a year is finally published on Bookapy. It can't go on Amazon because of the under 18-year-old character. That's also why it's listed as "extreme" on Bookapy. It's not extreme. The link to it on Bookapy is https://bookapy.com/s/635/the-nymphomaniac. At 193,000 words, it's my longest novel to-date.

The title is "The Nymphomaniac." It's about a girl with hypersexuality who, in the 1950s, doesn't understand the urges puberty brings on. In the 1950s, sex is a taboo subject, Sex Ed isn't taught in schools, there is no internet, and the medical diagnosis of hypersexuality is not understood (it is simply called nymphomania and the girl is labeled a tramp). So a girl like Julie is left to struggle on her own. Thankfully, she has help. That's why I listed it as coming-of-age although it could have been listed as erotica.

I tried to show her emotional struggles. Hopefully, I succeeded.

It will eventually be available for free on SOL, but at 70 chapters and posting one chapter a week, the full novel won't be there for 70 weeks (that's almost 1½ years). As I said, it's a long novel. On SOL, I post under Switch Blayde, but I publish under S.W. Blayde.

Book: The Nymphomaniac by S.W. Blayde
Julie, a teenager in 1956, is besieged by puberty hormones. The clueless girl doesn't understand the sexual urges and thoughts they trigger. She's frightened, frustrated, yet experiences unexpected pleasure. Her journey takes her from discovery and confusion, to exploration and experimentation, and finally enlightenment, as she deals with emotional highs and lows, torment and thrills.

Last year's Halloween contest winner

Posted at
 

The three Halloween contest winners are kept in the Premier section for a year. Well, the year is up and my entry is now in the free area if you want to read it.

It's called "Soulmates." I can't put the link in this blog because, if I do, it won't show up on SOL's home page. If you can't find the story, let me know.

Please note there are two stories with the same title. Mine, of course, is under the author name of Switch Blayde.

High School Massacre

Posted at
 

In light of the horrific elementary school shooting in Texas yesterday, I feel compelled to talk about my novel "High School Massacre."

The novel is a thriller. It's a murder mystery. And it begins with a massacre in a high school (hence the title), but it is not about the school shooting and it definitely does not glorify school shootings.

"High School Massacre" is the second novel in my Lincoln Steele series. Steele, the ex-Army Ranger/Special Ops private detective, seeks justice his own way, and that's what this novel is about. It's about discovering the truth and getting justice. The high school shooting is simply the inciting incident (a literary term for setting the plot's conflict in motion, or more simply, gets the story going).

The novel is available on both Bookapy and for free on SOL. Scenes, whether they be shootings or sex, are graphically described. That's how I write. I write what I call cinematically, where I try to bring the reader into the story as if they were watching a movie. It's my version of "show don't tell." I don't tell the reader a fight happened, I show the fight. So the first chapter may be difficult to read after the Texas shooting, but there are clues in it that are important because they come out later in the novel.
