Readers,
I am happy to announce. The final chapters of Acts of Passion and Violence have been posted. I hope you will like them. As the title suggests my story has been about Acts of Passion and Violence (not the BDSM type) and how the two work off each other. I also wanted to get away from the basic just teen sex storyline. Write a story with more action outside the bedroom, adult drama. But also, fun entertaining sex scenes with characters we have all invested in or enjoy.

I started this story last July when I was on vacation in Greece. It was boiling hot outside. Lying under the hotel a/c one afternoon I wrote the first part of chapter 1. That is why you see all the Greek references. I fell in love with a 2500-year-old statue of Aphrodite, she was my muse for the early parts. Now as the final 2 chapters post I am heading to Asia. In between I wrote the more personal A Christmas Swap with Friends story, please take a look.

Chapter 7 starts with our cast on a mission in Estonia, sort of 007 like, on New Year’s tracking a murder. Then chapter 8 finishes with the Steele family on New Year’s Eve for some hot family action. There are a few surprises. I don’t think you will be disappointed. If you like the new Zack and Elena storyline, please read to the end of the Epilogue for a fun erotic scene that teases what is to come with those two.

I had a lot of fun writing the story. My editor Steve was quick to turn around my many drafts making the process smooth. The great writer Wilbur Smith has a quote about writing that I use to remind myself who I am writing for, me. I write stories that I enjoy and hope others enjoy my work.

“Write for yourself, not for a perceived audience. If you do, you'll mostly fall flat on your face, because it's impossible to judge what people want. And you have to read. That's how you learn what is good writing and what is bad. Then the main thing is application. It's hard work.”

My new story A Christmas Swap with Friends has posted. It’s a true story told from the 1stPOV and as with these types of stories some details have been changed for both privacy and for the flow of the story. 5 chapters.

I read Outlander series author Diana Gabaldon’s book I Give You My Body on how to write sex scenes before I started writing this story. Her big piece of advice was that the best sex scenes are an exchange of emotions between the parties. Dialog is key, lots of it. I attempted to listen to her advice and put it into practice.

I hope you enjoy my 2nd attempt at this type of storytelling.

Feedback is appreciated.

Readers,

I have had the follow up to my only true stroy that I have written, A Massage With Friends, sitting on my hard drive for a year. Unsure whether to share the details of my first swap with my old friends and another couple. Of cours teenage Beth was involved so that was part of the problem.

Look for the story to drop in early December. I am editing it now with my editor for content and clarity. It's 5 chapters in length.

Thanks for reading.

Readers,
I have posted 3 new chapters to Brock Acts of Violence and Passion. We finally get violence, not of the BDSM type, but also lots of passion. So much I had to break it into two chapters. My hope is/was to balance the violence of chapter 4 with equal amounts of passion in the next chapter but well got carried away.

Relationships old and new move along having fun and drama. Zack is still into his breastfeeding kink, and he also has new girl to be interested in. At the same time his father’s company is under threat. This in the first story I wrote heavily from Brocks point of view early on.

I'll pause the story at chapter 6 for a while. I’m traveling so less time and have a couple of others short story ideas I want to try and write.

On a side note. I started this story while I was traveling in Greece and as a result you will see many Greek influences and well I got a bit wordy in chp 1 around my love of Aphrodite. If you can see one of her statues in person, you will fall under her 2500+ year old spell too.

I also dropped at least 6 homages to classic, tv, movie and music groups in the story… you have to look closely, some are obvious others you might have to do a bit of sleuthing.

Thanks for reading all feedback appreciated. And a reminder this is an ongoing series.

Readers,

Chapter 3 has posted. The underwear and welcome party for the Sinclair’s kicks up a few notches in intensity and passion. This chapter mostly focuses on the action on the back patio. I’m finding that the key to writing these larger party stories is focusing on the small groups, breaking it down to 4 or 5 key relationships. I also like details from drink to art to boobs so I get a little wordy at times so readers need deal with it. :)

For those who don’t write or who are thinking of doing so. ‘Hosting’ a party on paper is just as complicated as in the real world. Who do you invite, what time of day, how many people, what’s the theme? Who supplies the food and drink and entertainment? What does the venue look like? Writing the story gets complicated fast, if like me you try and paint a nice interesting picture but not go over the top with details. This is all before figuring out what actually happens at said party.

In this story I have some overall goals for the bigger story (passion and violence) and minor goals for each chapter in my head. I also have themes like Zack being challenged by a girl outside his Saint-U circle who does not participate in his lifestyle. Brock facing a big threat from competitors and what does that look like. At the same time exploring the relationships that have developed over 7 previous stories and pushing them further down the road in a realistic manner for 2029. The rest who does who and does what just comes out as I write. Even I was surprised by the ending of chapter 3.

I have a certain show vs tell narrative style. Not for everyone and sometimes slow. I don’t do the mechanical highly detailed sex scenes, but sex is there and is a key part but so is the story and relationships. Readers will also get doses of history and moral philosophizing and of course boobs. If its not clear the story takes place in 2029, a few years from now so I have freedom to make some stuff up but I do try and remain grounded.

Thanks for checking my work out. Not sure when the next chapter will drop. But you can assume there will be violence soon, balancing out the passion. Note not a BDSM story in anyway.
