In this modern day URL's or homepage addresses are becoming more and more common as people and companies get on the web. But please, be careful.

The human eye will put the 'spaces' where the meaning may be changed. In other words, where you stick your spaces may not be where I stick mine.

This years Campbells Soup commercial
here in Australia makes your chest hair grow just watching it! It's all
about the macho man. I give you, "The Fully Loaded" man with "Balls of
Meat" no less! (and yes, the capitals are there because it's more manly
to use them, oh yeah)
What a brilliantly stupid advert this is!
Not only does it feature men doing outdoor things with other men,
there's a 70's p*rn star look-alike, a jumpsuit that Elvis would have
been happy with, and a desk fan powere... Continue reading ...
Okay, here is a trailer for the
upcoming gay film, "Twinklight" and I have to say right off the bat, if
the acting/lighting/music/film quality stays like this for the rest of
the film, it will SHIT all over the tedious and terribly acted
"Twilight" stuff that's been done already in mainstream cinema from
Stephanie Meyer's books. Sorry twilight fans, but gay vampires with
stars who can act win hands down! I mean, I still haven't got over the
fact that in the "New Moon" movie when charac... Continue reading ...
This is the video that has spurred on today's post. Click here to view it. Please, it is NSFW (not safe for work) so yeah, don't watch this one around anyone who will tell on you :-)
Now, the video features the talents of one Brent Corrigan (a very popular p*rn star) promoting safe sex by demonstrating how to put on a condom properly. Sure, a simple thing, but ever so important in this day and age. Let's put aside the fact that Brent engaged in unsafe sex at the tender age of 17 and that he's ... Continue reading ...

Time to dedicate a blog entry to someone else for a change. I may make this a regular thing, seeing as nattering on about myself may be therapeutic and all, but geez, sometimes it does get tiring LOL
So, today I give you Tony and Ryan a book by Michele Montgomery. This is Michele's first foray into the m/m world and I have my copy, ready and eager to be devoured as soon as I can. I can't wait.
Here's the blurb:
Tony and Ryan are not your typical gay couple. Although they are
American, they are ... Continue reading ...
Okay, let me talk about something a lot
of you may find 'cringe-worthy' If you are not interested in male/male
love then please don't read any further. Cool?
Here we go
then:
So, as all of you who know I write male/male romance,
have done since I was first published. A lot of you may be thinking
what's the appeal of two men showing each other their affection. Well,
to put it simply, the answer is just that. Men showing
affection/emotion. Something a lot of women want from their man but j... Continue reading ...

Here's an excerpt to help whet your appetite for m/m sci-fi/fantasy adventure.
I
tasted him on an intimate level. My mind
clouded with confusion. His kiss was perfect, not too soft, yet
commanding
enough to know he was in control. He ran his hands over my face,
brushing away
my hair as he con... Continue reading ...
Keeping up my inspiration for writing is very hard at the moment, especially considering my health issues of late. My writing has taken a back seat as I am caught between doctors visits, the hospital and spending as much time as I can with my family.
I was thinking the other day that in the 39 years I have been on this planet, I haven't been sick for more than say 2 days at a time and had accumulated nearly 6 months of sick leave in 15 years! All that has changed now. I have been sick for a t... Continue reading ...
Winter has set in here in Melbourne. Days are darker, nights are cold, and the rain comes and goes. This change in seasons has pretty much guaranteed that I do most things indoors, only venturing out to go to work and get the mail.
Yet, would you believe I STILL can't get my bin day right? I've been here over a year, too! I either put the damn thing out two days early so that the things in the way sitting on the curbside, or I end up running down the street, bin in tow (and in my underwear) af... Continue reading ...

Here's a snippet:
Congratulations on your
award for, “The Pauper’s Prize”.(Which by the way was absolutely
fantastic! My first m/m fantasy ever!) Where did you get the idea to
write that story from?
Thank you so much for your kind
words. Oh, I know, what a thrill it was to receive such an award, and
for my second novel, too! Even the organizer/judges were shocked from
what I heard. I was a dark horse. How cool. I’ve never been a dark h... Continue reading ...
