Wow! Thank you all for the incredible support and for showing such great interest in my first work. It means so much to me that so many folks have downloaded my humble story and provided such incredibly positive feedback.

While the score is somewhat wobbly, several readers have been kind enough to explain there may be issues with some of the content. Read my profile, sorry not sorry. However, I feel some explanation is due for the inclusion of weak male or submissive MM sex. As a bit of a pantser, my characters more often than not tell me what they will do to/for whom. If that flings them across comfy "niche/genre" lines, I dutifully follow and scribe their tales. At the same time, I get to explore the emotions involved with all kinds of sex, and frankly never had a hard line between MM-MF-FF-XX or any other combination, or kink for that matter, in my writing.

Nonetheless, I am now well aware this stance may keep my scores low and discourage potential readers. But it is one of the main reasons why I don't publish professionally; forcing my darlings into neat little boxes to forever repeat the same type of niche-specific actions is not fair to them. However, I will now append more strident warnings to my descriptions. After all you shouldn't be dragged into my world, but feel free to peek. You may be as surprised as I am by some of the twists and turns my darlings love to impart on tropes.

Right, now on to the future. The unexpected support for a continuation of Dan and Daisy's escapades has led me to a bit of a quandary. None of my precious characters live/love in a vacuum. In their case, they exist within one of two, maybe three, Universes centered on a main character (MC).

And, since they will meet the MC and one of his main (no spoilers here) other people in the next story, I feel it is time to bring some of my older writing up to my current standard to provide the MC's back story. Therefore, once each chapter of his origin story is released from final editing, I will post it. While all the chapters are written and this first story is complete, the writing is uneven. Character flaw - I am just a bit of a stickler for providing the best prose I can muster, smut or not. If his story is well-received, rest assured I already have two sequels similarly complete that only require updated prose.

Finally, I have several other stories also inbound. And once my schedule firms up, I will provide updates and a publishing schedule.

Just a quick post to say how much I am looking forward to providing some hopefully good entertaining reading in the future. It has been a long struggle to hack away at decades of obtuse business writing in order to let my more creative side run free.

The works I have drafted for my own pleasure have focused on people discovering things they had kept hidden, i.e. dark secrets, buried cravings, etc. Some have a tinge of fantasy to spice things up but, surprisingly quite a few of them are inspired by real events. Now I hope to share some of them with you. I have no niche, no genre,and tend to just let my characters do what they need to do. It has been a crazy ride as their writer.

In any event, I do hope you enjoy and if not, any constructive criticism will be taken into account for future submissions.
