Well, it's been a long time coming (almost exactly a year since the last chapter of SOOTB was posted), but the first chapter of my new story, "When I See You Again," is finally ready. I doubt I'll be able to keep up the pace of one new chapter per week like I did with "Someday Out Of the Blue," since I don't have as much free time to write as before, but I'll do my best to try to post two new chapters per month. We'll see how it goes, though.

Also, many thanks to Sharon (Sat8997) for editing for me! ENJOY!!!

The next (and final) chapter of "Someday Out Of the Blue" is finally posted. I was originally planning on writing an epilogue, but I liked the way this chapter ended, and wanted to leave the rest up to the reader's imagination. I'm sorry for taking so long to finish this chapter, but I've had a lot on my plate over the past month. The next story is in the planning stages, but I'm not totally sure when I'll start posting it. I'll keep everyone updated, though! It's been tons of fun to write this story and interact with so many of the readers over on my discussion forum over the past six months, and I appreciate everyone's support and kind words. I look forward to hearing everyone thoughts on the last chapter and the story as a whole, so please drop me an e-mail, PM, or stop by the discussion forum!

Also, please take a couple minutes out of your day and remember all of those who lost their lives, as well as the many heroes that were made five years ago on September 11th.

Chapter 25 of "Someday Out Of the Blue" is up, and only one more chapter to go! I haven't been in much of a writing mood lately, so I'm not sure when the last chapter will be finished. It shouldn't be longer than a couple weeks, though. I'll do my best to get it finished and off to Kitty and Sharon in the next few days (hopefully). There should be a new story starting up in a few weeks or so, but I'm not exactly sure when -- I've got the first few chapters mapped out, but actually sitting down and writing everything out isn't easy to do when you're not really motivated and have other stuff on your mind.

Chapter 24 of "Someday Out Of the Blue" is now posted! Special thanks to Kitty and Sharon (Sat8997) for both editing this one, and I hope everyone will give Sharon a warm welcome. Also, if you haven't read "A Free Man In Paris" yet, you can check it out in the "Short Stories" section of the website, or by checking out the GayAuthors Anthology. Luigi did a fantastic job on the design/layout of the story for the Anthology version, so many, many thanks (and smooches) to him! ;-)

My new short story, "A Free Man In Paris," is now posted! Be sure to stop by the discussion forum and let me know what you think. In other news, Chapter 24 of SOOTB has already been sent off to be edited, and should be ready to post next weekend. I've also updated the "My Favorite Stories" section, with a couple of new stories, so go check that out, too!

Chapter 23 of "Someday Out Of the Blue" is now posted!

Since the Summer Anthology will be coming out very soon, and I've got a story in there ("A Free Man In Paris"), there will probably be a slight delay in releasing Chapter 24, since I want people to take some time to read the new short story, digest it, and discuss it over on the discussion forum. Also, I haven't been in much of a writing mood lately ... lots of other stuff on my plate right now. But we'll see how things go! =) In the meantime, enjoy Chapter 23, and my short story for the anthology!

Chapter 22 of "Someday Out Of the Blue" is finally posted! Since I can't be sure that my wireless Internet connection will be working as soon as I get back to the States, I've decided to post it before I leave, just in case, since everyone's been left hanging long enough! hehe

There is a lot of stuff coming up this month, including more chapters of SOOTB -- Chapter 23 has been sent off to Kitty for editing, and I'm already working on Chapter 24 -- and my Summer Anthology story, which is now completed and edited. That should be appearing around mid-July. I'm also still hoping to get the first chapter of "When I See You Again" posted at some point this month, if I can get past my writer's block on that one. Anyway, I'll keep everyone posted, and don't forget to stop by the discussion forum to leave your thoughts/comments, and check out my blog!

Chapter 21 of "Someday Out Of the Blue" is now posted! Kitty deserves extra special recognition for the fantastic job she did editing this chapter, and she spent an unusually long amount of time helping me to tweak and add some stuff to this chapter to make it more 'real.' So, please remember, this is a collaborative effort between Kitty and me, and she deserves just as much credit as I do!

As some of you may have noticed from my recent blog entries, there may be a slight delay in posting Chapter 22. I was originally planning on releasing the first chapter of my new serial novel right after Chapter 21, but I think I'd like to finish up with SOOTB before moving on to the next big project, even though the first chapter is well under way. By the way, I've finally finished my Summer Anthology story, which is on its way to Kitty now for editing. It's much "lighter" in terms of subject matter than SOOTB, and I'm hoping everyone will enjoy it. Serials are usually much more popular than short stories, but I think this one isn't half bad. Hopefully the readers will agree!

The whole SOOTB phenomenon has been an incredibly emotional trip so far, and perhaps we all need a breather for a week or two before we move on to the last portion of the story. As of right now, I'm estimating that SOOTB will have 25 chapters, plus an epilogue ... however, I tend to change my mind quite frequently, so it could end up going a little longer, although I don't see it going much beyond what I had originally planned.

A lot of things are going on in my life right now, most importantly, my move from Taiwan back to the US, which will be happening at the beginning of July. So, after Chapter 21, there may be a slight drag time until I can get things under control and get back to a regular posting schedule, but that shouldn't be more than a week or so ... or even less. We'll just have to wait and see how much writing I can get done over the next couple of weeks, while trying to make preparations for my big move. And please keep the comments coming, either by e-mail, PM, or on the discussion forum. I'm getting ready to go through a big life change, and will need all the support I can get!

Anyway, sorry for rambling on for so long ... I just wanted to let everyone know what is going on with the stories so I don't get tons of e-mails asking me when the next chapter will be out. It won't be too long, I promise, and there will also be another new short story coming up in mid-July, not to mention the eventual release of the first chapter of "When I See You Again," which will be quite different from SOOTB.

Chapter 20 of "Someday Out Of the Blue" is up! I've made good progress on the first chapter of "When I See You Again" and my Summer Anthology story, which will be titled "A Free Man in Paris," and they should be off to Kitty soon for editing -- if I can get off my lazy butt and actually finish them! ::blushing:: Apparently, I tend to procrastinate even more than usual when I have extra free time on my hands. I know exactly what I want to write, but when given the option to either sit at the computer and type or sleep, I always seem to choose sleep. Go figure!

Anyway, don't forget to stop by the discussion forum to leave your thoughts, comments, or just say 'hi' to the rest of us -- no need to be shy!

Also, for those of you who have been patiently waiting for it, my contribution to Dan Kirk's epic vampire saga, Chapter 13 of "Service: Vampire Jarred 2," is now posted!

June 10, 2006

Chapter 19 of "Someday Out Of the Blue" is now posted! As usual, many thanks to Kitty for doing such a wonderful job editing! This story is as much hers as it is mine. And don't forget to stop by the discussion forum and share your comments/thoughts! The more messages there are, the faster I write and post! ::wink::

I've already completed Chapter 21 and sent it off to Kitty. I've also gotten a very good start on my short story for the Gay Authors 2006 Summer Anthology, so that should be finished and sent off to Kitty shortly, as well, and will be appearing sometime after July 15th. The first chapter of "When I See You Again" is also in the queue, and the link is already up on the main page, so expect to see the first chapter of the new story the weekend after Chapter 21 of SOOTB is posted. And, a special thank you to Xandra Kitee for doing a fabulous job on the logo designs!

Chapter 18 of "Someday Out Of the Blue" is now posted! Don't forget to stop by the discussion forum and share your comments/thoughts! I'm almost finished working on Chapter 20, and should have that sent off to Kitty within the next day or so. Chapter 21 is also partially written, and once I'm done with that, I'm going to take a short breather to get my Summer Anthology entry finished, as well as the first chapter of "When I See You Again."

First of all, I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to Myr and GayAuthors for giving me "Full Hosted Author" status and permanent web site. It really is a HUGE honor to be listed with such great authors as DomLuka, Dan Kirk, Comicality, VLista, etc., and I feel very humbled that my stories have received so much attention. I hope everyone takes some time to explore some of the things I've already posted, including my list of favorite stories, which was previously only available on my old site. There will be much more stuff in the near future, so don't forget to check back often for updates, and drop by the discussion forum to let me know what you think!

There are currently two new serials in the works, including "When I See You Again," which has been mentioned in the discussion forum, as well as another one. And I'm also working on a short story for the Gay Authors 2006 Summer Anthology. Chapter 18 of SOOTB should be posted within the next couple days!

Also, many, many thanks to Kitty for being such a fabulous editor and a great friend. I'd also like to give props to two of my very best buddies, Vance and Ben. You guys are the best! And to all of my loyal readers out there, thank you so much for following the story and giving me your feedback. I hope to keep writing for a long time to come, and your e-mails, messages, comments, and support mean the world to me!
