New Release: A Closed Door, by Andrew Q. Gordon So it’s been a hot minute since my last ‘release’ day. And while this is just a short story, it’s my first contemporary story that’s been published. I need to do a few more of these as I liked very much doing something without the fantasy/paranormal world building. I hope folks like it and if you do, please drop me a note here, on Goodreads or on Amazaon.
I’ve not published a straight up contemporary MM Romance yet – other than a free read or two on Gay Authors – so this is something of a milestone for me. This was something Lily Velden challenged me to write and I think it came out quite well, even if it is just a short story. I suspect I’ll want to try my hand at longer ones in the near future – especially if I get covers this nice again. Will Parkinson from Pride-Promotions made this badge which talks about the book and shows the cover: (I’ll post the cover soon – promise) The book is out on October 8th – so in just a few days. You can pre-order …
Free Fiction Friday: October 3, 2014: Second Shot – The Senior Year: Chapter 38 “Stop worrying.” Ethan said. He shook his head, but the Wi-Fi connection distorted it on Blake’s screen. At least the audio was clear. “I doubt he’s going to freak out.” “I’m not worried about him going off on me, that’s not Brett’s style, but I’m not looking forward to moving out if it comes to that.” Ethan’s face tightened and Blake braced for his response. “It doesn’t matter if he’s unhappy, that’s his deal. He needs to get his knuckles off the ground and move into the twenty-first century. Why do straight guys all think they’re at risk of being hit on by gay guys?” “I don’t …
Free Fiction Friday: September 26, 2014: After a couple weeks off to deal with some family issues, I’m back this week. Hopefully this will the start of a good run. 😀 Second Shot – The Senior Year: Chapter 37 “I’m telling you he’s acting weird.” Blake lifted his shirt and wiped the sweat from his eyes. Dean didn’t bother with modesty and pulled his shirt over his head and used it to dry his face and neck. He bent over and grabbed his knees. “You’ve been running with my brother, haven’t you?” The accusation wasn’t the response he expected. “Yeah. Why?” “Cause you pick spots and run intervals like him. I hate that.” “They’re good for you.” Having hated them at …

Free Fiction Friday: September 5, 2014: Second Shot – The Senior Year: Chapter 36 Blake paced his small dorm room. Brett’s stuff added to his made it feel even smaller. He’d been spoiled having the room to himself for the three weeks. Spoiled in more ways than one. But the weekend came and went, Ethan went home and Blake left Jason and Darryl’s house to come back to the dorm. During the two days at Jason’s place, he’d tried to find the right words to tell his roommate. Everything he came up with sounded lame. “Brett, I’m gay,” was direct but had an overly dramatic feel. And he didn’t think he could or should blurt it out to start the …

The Price Of Love – Part 5 Epilogue Sitting on the edge of a parapet in the Magi Citadel, I stared up at the Island in the Clouds. Three months later and he still filled my thoughts. I lost him the day the world was saved. Another bittersweet day in my life. Part of me wanted to go back to that cave to see if his spirit remained, waiting for me to return. In my heart I knew I wouldn’t find him there, but I couldn’t quell that last bit of hope. After the defeat of the Degari, Chenoth and his army left our world. No explanations, no words of wisdom, nothing. The blue dragon, however, remained. He refused all …
