It's been quite a while since I've posted anything really. Life has just been in the way but I'm back and it's time to catch you up on what I've been doing. 

First off, I posted a review earlier. I intend to get back onto doing that more regularly. I have a few more to get posted in the next few days. As I have made some changes in my life, I have a bit more time for reading, and I like to review what I read because I prefer for others to do the same for me.

But on to my own writing. So, the next book in the Dragon Hunter's series, is pretty much done and waiting to be edited. I'm working no finding a dependable editor at the moment that can get that done in a timely fashion. I'm eager to see what others will think of how that story went.

I also started a new book. This one is in the LGBT genre, but I don't think I can call it a romance. As of right now, I don't think the main characters will get a happy ending together. It remains to be seen if they will have one separately either. But I wanted to take a stab at a non-fantasy novel, and this one explores some issues I've discovered as black bisexual man, mainly dealing with issues with men in this case. I even wrote a letter that I've decided is from the main character, Jay, to the love interest/douche of the novel, Velle. This one will take a while to complete I think. I have to be really inspired to work on it. Fantasy stories flow so much more easily, not that this one will have any forseeable problems. I just know it'll take me a while.

I'm also working on the second novel of the Coven series. Some ideas for additional conflict to wrap that one up have come to mind recently, so be prepared for that. Next, I've started working on a followup to the piece I did for the Goodreads M/M group, Olin's Sacrifice. I feel there's more that I can do with that, so it'll probably turn into it's own series. Or there could just be the one followup. I'll decide when I reach the end. I'm contemplating how a three way relationship between guys works. It could be interesting. Oops, is that a spoiler? Ha ha ha, only time will tell.

Synopsis: With the introduction of a new student to a sleepy seaside town in England, four others are affected by his presence and personality. When Tom befriends the school's biggest outcasts, as well as the class president, conflicted interests aren't the only things at risk. As he tries to delve deeper into what happened to split up former friendships, he struggles to hide his own troubling past and dark secrets. Only time will tell how much he can trust his new friends - and how much they can trust him.

Review: I wasn't sure what to expect from this one when I started it. There was a lot of surprise in it for me. Tom is interesting, he's highly intelligent and charismatic. It's evident very early on that he has issues at home, and he's taking medication which at first just seem to be for migraines. We find out later it's much worse than that. The surprises come when we find out the outcasts are outcast essentially because they're gay, the class president apparently became a douche for a while, the guy that seems like a jerk among the outcasts is just super protective, the flamboyant kid in the girls clothes has way more issues at home than meets the eye, and the last of the outcasts is just highly intelligent and unlike some of the others, has a stable life at home. I didn't expect some of the revelations in this book, especially with Tom, but I'm glad there was a happy ending at least.
