I asked fans to offer their input for the next episode of The Love of Wicked Men, and whoa, did they ever. We had to change the feed to NSFW. So, if you’d like to know all the salacious details of what readers think, what they want to see, and the pictures they offered, visit us on Goodreads and offer your input too. All are welcome.

What are readers and reviewers saying about Wicked Men?

I cannot wait for more.

Hot, sexy, full of intrigue, mysterious characters…

The perfect ingredients for the start of an exciting ride…

Two of the grittiest, most raw, realistic characters I have come across in a long time…

I don’t know what’s Jack story but I can’t wait until he breaks Sid ass off, it’s going to be freaking epic!!!

Totally worth staying up late for…

Episode Two is going off to beta readers shortly and I’ll be looking for input from fans for episode three over the holidays. Don’t miss out!

Spotlight – Gay Fiction – Dilemma

November 10, 2014 By Brandon Leave a Comment

dilemma_frontcover_smallThough surrounded by people on a daily basis, Chuck is a miserably lonely man, desperately seeking companionship and affection. Not only does his shy personality make him reluctant to approach others, but he also harbors a secret side of himself that he’s tried to suppress and forget for many years. This secret side fills him with a kind of self-loathing, and he unknowingly makes himself unapproachable to others around him.

However, this all changes when he befriends Bjorn, a charismatic and worldly young man who opens Chuck’s eyes and allows him to accept his true identity. This ultimately places Chuck in an awkward position of trying to maintain his relationship with Bjorn in a separate, hidden life while at the same time keeping up a false front in the rest of his daily life.

“Dilemma” is an unconventional love story that exposes the intense difficulty in coming to terms with one’s true self and the painstaking actions taken to keep a second life hidden from the world. While the truth can sometimes hurt, it doesn’t compare to the pain of living a lie.

#ThrowbackThursday – Listening to Dust

November 6, 2014 By Brandon 2 Comments

Listening to DustWhat have they said?

“Leaves readers speechless, breathless” – Out In Jersey
Best in LGBTQ Fiction 2012 – Indie Reviews
Rainbow Award Winner – Best Gay Contemporary Fiction

Blurb

Murder touched Stephen Dobbins when he was a young boy and left him living in a void of aching loneliness. A chance meeting with a young American chased away the fear that he would always be alone and brought him the prospect of a new existence.

Dustin Earl joined the military and escaped his small town Southern upbringing with the hope that he could give his mentally challenged brother a better life. But Dustin had never known real love, an honest hug, or a simple kiss. He considered his sexuality a weakness; a threat that had been used against those he cared about.

For eight months their relationship blossomed until Dustin suddenly returned home. He cherished Stephen, but felt his responsibilities to his brother outweighed his own chance at happiness.

Shattered, unable to function and unwilling to accept Dustin’s departure, Stephen flew three thousand miles to get Dustin back and rekindle what they had. But what he would learn when he got there… he could never have imagined.

Is love at first sight rational?

October 30, 2014 By Brandon 3 Comments

heartdropI was asked this question a few days ago, and it stuck with me. I kept wondering, when is love ever rational? And this question led to others:

Does a modern romance even include such a thing? Or is that ‘old school romance’, from days long before we plastered selfies and our every intimate thought across the web?

Is it just hormones?

I’ve seen the word ‘insta-love’ enough lately to believe we’ve become cynical about the possibility of love at first sight. So maybe, in our modern era, we have unwittingly reduced love down to the equivalent of a possession.  (As in a thing owned.)

It’s sad really, if that’s all love has become.

Your thoughts?
