Kindlegraph – Autographing Ebooks

If you have a Kindle and would like my autograph for My Summer of Wes, Take The Shot, or KLT23, you can now get one. Seriously! Kindlegraph is a little website designed to allow readers to have their ebooks autographed so long as the book is available via Amazon.com. Should you wish to make a request of me, note that you will need a Twitter account to login.

Part of me is thinking “Oh yeah! Now I can get all their autographs!” while another part is thinking “Oh wow. Is someone going to want mine?” I better go practice signing this name. Just in case.

A Little Odd

My latest release is KLT23 and it’s about a Sergeant Horatio Muir and the genetically enhanced super-soldier he’s determined to save from a possibly fatal illness. How? Duh. By having sex with him, of course.

KLT23

Published February 2011

See, my goal for this little story wasn’t anything more lofty than playing with a little bit of sci-fi and offering up an homage to my man, Mr. Spock. Now Captain Kirk is all that and a double-fudge brownie, but a man who has to have sex or he’ll die?! Come here, baby, I’ll make you all better. Sergeant Muir feels the same way about the man he calls Kelty.

Yeah, saved-by-sex is practically a cliche, but I couldn’t resist playing with it. Especially in this context. Super-secret government experiments in human genetics to design super-soldiers? Yay! Well, all right, that’s practically a cliche too. There’s a twist here, though! Kelty’s kind of a sneaky guy for all his innocence. He’s smarter than the average general and very motivated when his man Muir is around.

I’ve always loved stories that are just a little on the odd side. You could say that my writing roots began with my dad’s love of Star Trek and my mom’s love of romance novels. Green aliens and Raul? Yes please! I was 12 when I wrote my first story — which required massive rewrites after I finally got my hands on one of those romance novels, thank you — about a girl who wakes up to an alien in her bedroom only to discover he’s just a teenager, lost and scared because he got left behind. She, of course, comforts him before they set out to reunite him with his family.

Writing KLT23 has inspired me to revisit other story ideas where something a little weird is going on. I’m looking at a little more paranormal, some sci-fi, and something inspired by Batman. Romances all, of course! And M/M too ;)

You Got Here How?

When I get into WordPress, the first thing I look at on my Dashboard is the statistics section. I’m a big fan of charts and graphs, so I’m quite content to see that little group of towers letting me know you’re still visiting :) Beneath that, there is a list of today’s top keywords that brought you here. Looking at the top keywords for all time was…interesting.

Aside from actually searching for me specifically, there are a remarkable number of you looking for Josh Lanyon and arriving here. Just so we’re clear, I’m not him. (He is awesome, though, isn’t he?)

A disturbing trend among the keywords are the number of people looking for my published stories as free downloads. MY SUMMER OF WES, TAKE THE SHOT and KLT23 are not free stories. If you downloaded them from one of those file-sharing sites, you broke the law and pissed me off.

Now then, here are a list of some interesting keywords that somehow managed to bring you here:

  • white towel, naked in towel, low hung towel
    This is going to take you to THE LUCKY ONES, a short story in here that does, in fact, have a photo of a lovely young man wearing a white towel low on his hips. Kinky towel people.
  • tell me u need my tongue and i will happily kneel before you
    You got it! I don’t know what the heck this refers to, but you can definitely do this next time you see me.
  • erotic sleeping beauties
    I have to wonder if these people expected to find my SLEEPING BEAUTY partial short story or something else…
  • fuck or die
    This makes me smile! Were you looking for that line in the excerpt of KLT23?
  • large office table 8 by 4 foot
    I’m guessing you did not actually want to find me with that one and left rather quickly once you got here.
  • how i close my balcony?
    You probably didn’t mean to find MY BALCONY, but I hope you liked it anyway.
  • welsh jizz on belly
    Well that’s specific. I wish you well in finding that one.
  • missy slut welsh
    I am not! I have some standards — not a lot but some — so I’m not spreading ‘em for just anyone, thanks.
  • you are amazing blog
    Thank you! That makes up for that other one.
  • every man deserves
    They do at that, but what do you think they deserve? I’m giving them happy endings :)
  • welsh licks
    Occasionally, yes, I do.

Whatever brought you here, I sincerely thank you for visiting. Have a nice day!

KLT23 Makes Reviewers Giggle

I spent quite a lot of time giggling to myself whilst reading [KLT23]. Not that it’s overtly funny, just that the author has such a dry sense of humour and fun which shows in the writing, I couldn’t help but be amused by the events on the pages. The story is mainly an erotic quickie between two beefy soldiers but has a light touch to the writing and characterisation, especially of Muir, that I found it a step above the usual erotic fayre.
