This blog post is just blatant advertising for my latest story Monsoon. Its a story about a boy going to Thailand and discovering that sex, even good sex, isn't love. The description of the Thai nature, I think, fairly accurate. You really can still go find beach bars on beaches like those described. You might even find real love?
I don't want to spoil the tender love story (although its super-predictable so perhaps there is no such thing as a spoiler) but I have had a few comments expressing disappointment at the ending. I got that feedback for Distance and Mid Summer Madness too, so I guess I'm not very good at endings?
Anyway, in Monsoon, it was important to me that I end with the heroine being an equal and not rushed into a marriage. It was also important that the protagonist not succumb to the temptation offered by the very nice and very beautiful girl who is not used to being resistable. This is probably the only story on this site that involves an offer of a threesome declined? :) Please mail me suggestions for better endings.... ;)
I have another couple of stories in the pipeline- "Emily" and "The Heist". As usual I think of the characters first and try and imagine what they want in life and how they'd get it and how they'd respond to different scenarios. I then imagine some fun scenarios and events, and then try and tie them together to weave a story. This may be why I'm so bad at endings? Anyway, these two stories are much the same although one is a bit funny and the other is a bit too soppy. I hope you enjoy them; they'll be out in a couple of weeks if I can't get the shortest before the weekend.
