G Younger: Blog

I live in the great state of Florida and we look to get hit by Hurricane Matthew. The good news is I live on the West Coast. The bad news is this is a BIG one. We've actually started to see the first few bands of rain come through.

The thing about these storms is they can be unpredictable. The last big one decided to crisscross the state three times. It hammered my friends in Orlando, and they are in the center of the state.

As of now we are out of the direct path, but there is a 50% chance of wind gusts of 40+ mph. I guess this is a long way of saying the next chapter of Stupid Boy may not appear on Saturday. If that happens I will send a note when I can and let you know when it will be up.

Thanks

In the most recent chapter of Stupid Boy - Junior Year it appears that one character sexually assaults another. This part of the story is actually setting up a serious discussion about rape much later in the story.

Of every 100 rape allegations, 46 get reported to the police. Of those, 12 lead to an arrest. Nine will get prosecuted and five will be convicted. The sad truth is only three will serve any time. This is an example of the 54 that are not reported.

This is currently a discussion going on at college campuses. Many times people, including the police, think of rape as a violent act. What happens when drinking or drugs are involved can begin to put doubt into people's minds. Did she go to the party voluntary? Did she drink the alcohol? Did she flirt with the man? Could she give consent?

For those that thought I handled it wrong ... sorry. The main character will get an education before everything is done.

Personally I take this seriously and didn't write what I did to be callous.

I received an email that pointed out that since I started posting stories on SOL in 2014 that my work has been downloaded over 2 Million times. That just blows me away ... thanks.

I want to thank everyone that has sent feedback. I did want to clear up one thing. Junior Year - Book 2 is currently being written. Like Freshman Year, I divided it into 2 Books because of the length. Well that and the fact I didn't think you wanted to wait another year to get it.

The first book of Junior Year took me 13 months to write. The plan is for Book 2 to be ready sometime next summer or early fall.

For those of you that binge read the pre-release ... sorry it takes so long ... and no I don't release chapters before the full book is done. I've found I tend to rewrite things and if I put it out to the world I would feel like I couldn't change it.

Thanks

Junior Year is finally done! I ended up breaking it into two parts because it began to get out of control. I figured after 13 months of writing it was time to deliver.


It's big. 35 Chapters and over 420,000 words.


Target Release Date: 9/24/16


One of my editors, Bud Ugly, has helped me rewrite the first two Stupid Boy Books. I've been told it is a MUCH better read and we fixed some of the story line.


Here is what one of the pre-release readers had to say about Junior Year:


Book of the Year!!!

I have just finished a 36hr binge read of Stupid Boy - Junior Year. I just couldn't put it down! (Sleep - who needs it J )


Once again Greg delivers a masterful story with engaging characters, outstanding plot development and a captivating read.


Stupid Boy - Junior Year is book 4 in the Stupid Boy series. This series is a multiple award winner (Clitorides 2014, 2015 and 2016 {Nominated}) and deserves every accolade!


This series is a coming of age focused on David, who is blessed with some great attributes, however works hard to make the most of things in the face of a series of challenges.


The ups and downs of the story are fantastic and kept me on the edge of my seat!


I highly recommend the Stupid Boy series for anyone that likes outstanding character driven stories with a splash of erotica thrown in!


Shoot me an email if you are interested in the pre-release version or the update Freshman Year books.


Thanks
