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

I'm currently writing the last chapter of Junior Year. I had to break it into 2 parts or I would've never gotten it done ... whew!
The target for posting will be mid to late September. So be on the lookout.
Now for something completely different!
I have a short story that came from sitting around a poker table and listening to my friends tell a few lies... all in good fun. One of them said something that stuck with me. He said 'You Can Sell Anything on Craigslist!'
The next day another friend called me and told how his older sister was giving him a hard time. In joking I told him that he should sell her on Craigslist.
So long story short I couldn't get the concept out of my head. I even tried to pawn the idea off on other writers. So I finally sat down and wrote it. The thing is it is VERY different than anything I've ever written. So much so that I was worried that the readers on SOL wouldn't like it.
Jay Cantrell read it told me to post it. I'm trusting him on this one ... so I'll start posting it this week. I hope you enjoy it.
