Several readers who
have been following my fiction blog recently contacted me to ask whether Dog Roses and/or Like There’s No Tomorrow are available in print form or as e-books;
the answer is, no. I am hoping to upload
both as e-books in the near future.
(A
gay rights-of-passage novel)

(Not
a gay novel, but about a woman who hasn’t given up finding out what happened
to her daughter who disappeared some 20+
years ago)

U.K. readers also keep asking why they cannot order Catching Up With Murder, my black comedy-crime novel (with more than a hint of gay
interest, but not a gay novel as such) from a bookstore; this is because the
publishers (Raider International) do not work with the UK Book Suppliers from
whom bookstores obtain copies; it is available
on amazon.co.uk:

- and will be
available as an e-book from early 2013.
For anyone interested, the general URL: for my
fiction blog is:
Now, if you enjoy writing in any genre and despair
of having writer’s block, you are not alone. I, for one, know the feeling only
too well. Ah, but believe me, there’s nothing like a spot of ‘live’ pulp
fiction to stir the imagination...
PULP FICTION
He got on at Leicester Square,
sat opposite me, heading for
Edgware;
between dripping sardines
our eyes met. (Rain on the face
or beads of sweat?)
I chanced a friendly smile
and mouthed, “Hello.”
He flung me a dirty look - so
I returned to my book although my
heart
yearned for his beauty,
let it comfort my despair. (Oh, to
burn
my fingers on the sparklers
in his hair!) Patched jeans
smouldering
like the heart cowering in my
shirt,
I risked a second glance. His eyes
bore
darkly into mine...
Hooked! Starkly, we swam
a glorious ocean...
Our lovemaking done by Camden Town,
he left the train
I never saw him again

[Note: Camden Town is a district of north-west London, about 15 mins travel on the Northern Line from Leicester Square.]
