First and foremost, a huge THANK YOU to all the thousands of people who are downloading or reading my work.
I cannot tell you adequately how much that means to me.
Sharing my writing was a whim and a therapeutic exercise for me. I never expected the amount of interest, nor all the good reviews.
I am obviously not a formally trained writer.
My background is in Emergency Services and Transportation.
My AAS degree is in Emergency Medicine, with only the “required” English/Literature related courses.
I was a “solid C” student back in high school, with little interest in English classes, so I’m as surprised as anyone could be.
Some comments are showing displeasure in the direction so far. Even “punishing” me for not meeting their expectations by changing previously high ratings.
Hate to see that, but not something I can do anything about.
Reading the comments, I have even been tempted to change my writing style. But doing so just to please 3 or 4 commenters out of the thousands who have downloaded/read doesn’t make any sense with the given feedback.
Balance in all my stories is beginning to seem difficult, especially in the face of criticism.
One is “too violent and graphic”.
One is “too improbable” and exceeds “reality”.
One is too short and “gimmicky”.
And now one hasn’t got enough graphic sex and violence.
Oh well.
You can please some of the people, some of the time….
Anyway, to the FYI stuff…
Added a chapter to Tommy Gunn.
Yes, it is starting out slow and with deep background story.
I’m setting the foundation for a whole series of “books”, and these first chapters are necessary to the future of the series.
I am into “Tommy Gunn” for the long haul.
There are outlines for 3 books already, set in different locations and with different plots.
If it’s any consolation, chapter 7 begins to get into the gun play, violence, and death, as does chapter 8.
It’s funny. I told my wife a few days ago that I started out writing an action/adventure type story, and now it looks more like a Harlequin romance novel.
LOL
Tommy Gunn will disappoint the lovers of graphic erotica.
That’s a fact.
But it is going to remain something you can possibly buy at chinamart.
PG-13 to NC-17 in the graphic sex department at worst.
But I will “feed the need” with my other stories.
Plenty of sex and “high fructose porn syrup” in those works.
Thanks again to all my readers who are enjoying this personal adventure.
Thanks to my supporters.
I’ll keep banging on the keyboard and providing you with version 1.0 here for free, as long as you guys are out there.
And then the final “expanded” and “revised” works will be on bookapy for those who really want them.
A plate of beans and rice for the hungry is no problem, but of they want a steak with it then it’s not gonna be free.
