SOLD! (x2)

Sorry to be late in posting this, with the release dates already listed in an earlier post and all, but it's been kind of hectic; the writing bug is biting huge, and ya gotta take advantage of it while it's red-hot.

The kindness of Selena and eXcessica Publishing (www.excessica.com) has been extended again, with two more stories accepted by the epublishing house. Both are a bit different for me - one via title, the other subject matter - but nonetheless, they're also stories I really enjoyed writing (maybe a little too much, in the case of the first one) ... and I hope you'll enjoy them, when released, as well:

"The Brothers Dim" begins with Mark, a 33-year-old with a chip on his shoulder. Mark's tired of online dating and dealing with gay men and their drama - so to get laid, he comes up with a devious plan, via a posting on online giant Craigslist, that he hopes will score him some really hot straight/married men to bed. The ad gets a ton of replies instantaneously - two of the first, and the best, coming via a cute, blue-collar 21-year-old skateboarder type named Kyle ... and the shaggy-haired 19-year-old Chuck who has the face of an angel. Mark thinks he's been smart, setting the guys up with enough room between each other so they don't cross paths - but when Kyle's late and Chuck rings Mark's doorbell minutes later, the best Mark can shoot for is a sexually bionic threesome ... little knowing that, quite by accident, he's gotten a pair of brothers to come over his house - neither guy knowing the other's going to be there.

"Everybody Fucks Raymond" sees temp worker Aaron Adams at a dream assignment; he's working for a huge accounting firm in Phoenix that openly seeks out and hires GLBT employees. Soon Aaron learns it's a double-edge sword, however, when he hears some of the bitchier queens at the company gossiping long and hard about the "office slut" (and one of the firm's head accountants), the hunky, model-handsome Raymond Aguilar. Sure the rumors are just that, Aaron works up the nerve to approach Raymond, wanting him to know what's being spread about him ... and finds himself not only smitten with the gorgeous, studly accountant - but also volunteering to show Raymond a new meaning to the phrase "office relations."

Both aren't available until February - "The Brothers Dim" releases February 1 2010, and "Everybody Fucks Raymond" on February 15 2010 - but if you get one or both, I hope you'll find them worth the wait. "Dim" may have a few shocks in store for some of you ... but hopefully ones that'll make you tingle down to your toes.
