As promised, A Well-Live Life and Good Medicine will always be free on SOL, but for the truly impatient, I offer early access, along with other material including vignettes and images, via Patreon. For a link, please see my author page, as links are not permitted in blog entries.

I offer digital copies of my stories via the SOL sister site, Bookapy, and Good Medicine - Senior Year will be available for purchase after the first chapter is published to SOL.

Thank you for your loyal reading, and I appreciate each and every one of you.

I have updated A Well-Lived Life 2 - Book 3 - Jessica. I've corrected grammar, word usage, and punctuation, and incorporated all the corrections sent to me by readers.

The story did not change. If you're keeping an eBook version, you may want to download a new copy.

This book is available for purchase via Bookapy in PDF, ePub, and Kindle formats. All ten books of AWLL 1 are also available, as are the first two books of AWLL 2, the first three books of GM, and the first book of AWLL 3. The prices of the books are based on word count.

For the impatient, the complete version of A Well-Lived Life 3 - Book 1 - Suzanne is available on Bookapy in ePub, mobi, and PDF versions.

I set prices based on word count, and 'Suzanne' is 560,000 words.

AWLL 1, Books 1-10, AWLL 2, Books 1-2, and GM Books 1-3 are also for sale. The remaining AWLL books are being prepared for publication on the site.

No link as it didn't show up on the home page with the link.

Those who have read my stories know that one overarching theme is that teenagers are not 'children' in the sense that is usually meant by that term. This problem, at least from my perspective, is most prevalent in the US.

A reader wrote (publicly in the comments section:

"At some point I was hoping the character might develope a bit of self control. Screwing children is my breaking point. I have always enjoyed your stories but this has to be the end for me."


This in response to sex between someone over twenty-one and a fifteen-year old.

Anyone who has read twenty books of AWLL (and possibly 2.5 of Good Medicine, you would know that teenagers are NOT children. They are young adults and ought to be treated as such.

May I point out:

Ages of consent
Sweden: 15
Germany: 14
Denmark: 15
Estonia: 14
France: 15
Italy: 14
Portugal: 14
China: 14
Japan: 13 (Cf 'Sakurako')
Argentina: 13
Brazil 14

It's the US that's completely nuts on this topic, with places like California being completely insane.

That said, it may not be your cup of tea, which is fine, but teenagers are NOT children and shouldn't be treated as such.
