Authors : What are you working on?

As typical, I’ve got a half a dozen stories at various stages of completion. Hoping to get some writing time in today on a few of them, including a gay male story that has taken a whole different turn than I expected. Fingers crossed that I do it justice. 😎

Still totally idea free re. Steampunk, the last genre aI have to do. I might wait to see what the next comp is.

I literally wrote one today. it's only 700 odd words, but it gets the point across.. just not sure if i want to enter it under true or flash

I have just complete a Novel (not for here) now on sale globaly, for Lush, Just out is further adventuures of Claire and I. I though it was going to be the Last untill sge hijacked me in London so soon you will know how our Jazz night went.

Real life got in the way a bit, and we had two attempts at penning the finale to Love At First Bite, but Kimmi and I are done with the series and happy with it.

Part 3 is in the queue and will be out whenever a mod can spare some time. Don't believe the word counter: it's less than 5k words.

In the meantime, if you haven't caught up with the vampire action so far, now's a perfect time to make amends. Sexy fangs await...

Finally came up with a Steampunk idea the other day. It won't be set in an alternate timeline like many steampunk stories, but there will be a lot of steam, and steam power. A lot.

I really need to get educated on Steampunk. When it comes time, may I pick your brain?

Having finally finished my gay male story, which has been well received, I’m working on a few other categories as I chase Double Omnium. I have a Steampunk story, an Outdoor story, and a few others started.

Besides those, I another set of chapters for Mac and Grace, a HWH story, and even an additional part to The Office Whore all in various stages of completion.

Now, I just have to find time to finish something. 😉🤪

I have been writing my "Cash in Hand" series since the beginning of July last year. It's been so well-received (see the story comments) that I didn't stop at seven stories, as I originally intended to do. I carried on, but I will be taking a break at twelve stories. A sabbatical. 😊 Move to publishing JJ stories more periodically.

This is to allow me to do three other things.

First to write stories in the two genres that I still need to write in for my omnium badge. BTW: It is three ATM, but "Cash in Hand – 12" is in the TEEN genre, and there are around eighty other possible TEEN stories of mine, all of which currently lurk in the Novel genre.

Secondly, I will be updating my second-oldest novel here, "Bonding". When I say 'updating', I'm adding cover photos and improving the grammar where applicable. Not the storyline. This is similar to what I did last year with my oldest novel. I will move one of them into the TEEN genre as well.

Thirdly, write my seventh "Friends, Lovers or Rivals" novel. If called, "Our Game". The characters from those books, David, Clare, and Sarah, have been telling me it's been nearly a year since I wrote my last story about them. 🙄😈

Well, that's 2026 done, and possibly part of 2027.

Toying with a new idea. Private charter pilot gets a weird passenger to fly to a strange, off the beaten path airfield. Stuff happens. Not entirely sure sure what yet though. The dark fantasy writer in me wants something supernatural but I could also do some kind of weird non-supernatural thing with it, too. Not just "joins the mile high club" in other words, but something a bit more complex and plotty.

It at least got me to do some research on private air charters. Kind of cool. Expensive but not entirely beyond my means.

Whew! This past month was frantic. Published eight stories in thirty days. Now I'm going to slow down to about three a month.

Just got "Swinging Sixties" submitted to cap off the Sexy Sixties series for the moment. Given the reception, I may resume my tales of liberated sexuality in my sixties ... after I get a bunch of old "younger" stories cleared out of my drafts folder. I will be in my own sixties soon enough, by which point I kinda want to be done writing a lot about people in their early twenties. But in the near term, I still have some great ideas for Becoming A Man, including an overall climactic finish. In next week's installment, Joe is going to fall in love in "Dating Daphne," an ode to that weightless, helpless, painless feeling of falling in love. It will be my 100th story published here, and I've been working hard to try to make it my best so far.

My thinking around MM/MLM continues to progress (and what a beautiful take you had on it, techgoddess). Rather than restarting It's A Date quite yet, within the next few weeks I will publish "Succumbing to Temptation," to be the first installment in a new MLM series, Succumbing to Destiny.

Sure, although I probably won't get to this story until sometime in 2027, with everything else I have brewing. But yes, absolutely happy to chat about it as it gets closer.
