Inside Look at Writing More 2: Poor Luke

Yesterday while working on the sequel to MORE, I added something I hadn’t planned on before now. It was a very intense moment between Matthew and Richard. No matter how far Luke has come, it’s a little scary when he’s the one who has to make the other two talk. This scene doesn’t take place until later in the book than what I’ve been working on, but I just had too many ideas running through my head. I had to get their conversation down. Now I’m back to working on earlier chapters. I cannot wait to get to the follow-up scenes after that Matthew/Richard moment.

I also completed changes to the Epilogue for BREATHE that I’ve been wanting to write since I first finished that book. As I read through it one last time, I cried and sighed and smiled like a goofball. Love those guys. I’ve sent it off to my editor to review. More news on that will be coming soon.

And part six of MORE THAN JUST A GOOD BOOK has been sent to a couple of people who help me with the editing. My newsletter followers will be the first to be notified when part six is available to read via my website, so be sure to sign up to receive my newsletter if you haven’t yet.

Well that’s where I’m at with my current projects. Hope you all are having a great week!

THE BREAK IN available for download at All Romance eBooks

One of my goals for this year is to get the free short stories that are available on my website added to a few bookstores. I’m pleased to share that all three of my shorts are now available at All Romance eBooks.

THE BREAK IN was added this weekend in MOBI, EPUB, and PDF formats. SWEPT AWAY and A LESSON IN TRUTH are also listed at ARe under their Free Reads category.

THE BREAK IN Story Description
Billy’s been breaking into his ex-lover’s apartment every Friday night for a little solo sex in the bed they used to share. One night he almost gets caught before he has a chance to finish his usual routine and climb back out the window. Now he has only seconds to decide if he should hide and end up watching his ex have sex or run from the most erotic encounter of his life — and maybe a chance at love again.

Snippet from MORE THAN JUST A GOOD BOOK

From the work-in-progress manuscript for MORE THAN JUST A GOOD BOOK (serial novel) part six…

Balancing the tray in one hand, Mark entered the bedroom. He nearly lost the tray’s contents onto the floor at the sight before him.

Scott lay on the bed as instructed, his hands over his head gripping the headboard. He wore the five items from the box and nothing else.

“Did I do it right?”

Those whispered words from Scott had Mark’s arousal kicking into gear. Everything else faded away.

Well almost everything. He had to take care of one last thing. He set the towel-covered tray on the nightstand. Scott glanced at the tray but said nothing.

 

Please note: Work-in-progress excerpts may not end up in the final manuscript or may be revised to something different before publication.

To all my readers, a huge thank-you for helping HOW TO SAVE A LIFE reach the Top 10 Bestseller’s list (currently #4) at All Romance eBooks and the Gay & Lesbian Romance Bestseller list at Amazon (top location spotted was #4). My first novel MORE has even reappeared as a bestseller (#2 in Gay & Lesbian Erotica at Amazon). THANK YOU, EVERYONE!

Also, thank you for all the recent emails and other messages about the book. Hearing from readers means a great deal to me, and your words of appreciation and encouragement seriously help me through the tougher writing days. I’m thrilled so many of you are enjoying Walter and Kevin’s story.

All my thanks,
Sloan
