It is with a heavy heart that I report the death of my good friend and fellow author, St. George. I learned of his death only hours after I posted Chapter 1. He has helped me on many of my stories. One of the very last things he did on this Earth was to perform a reality check read on "One Of Two". I dedicate this story to George. He now appears memorialized in a revised Chapter 2.
A young boy discovers his hero is only human. He comes to realize that ordinary humans can be heroes.
No Sex
This is my attempt at a mainstream story. No sex at all, just a heartwarming story seen through the eyes of a ten year old boy.
Thanks to JRB and Bernardo for their help with the story.

“So how did you two really meet? With all we’ve learned about you lately, there has to be more to the story.”
I looked to Gina, who held my eyes. After a moment she gave me an almost imperceptible nod, a smile lighting up her expression.
Once long ago, I swore there were two things I'd never do. One was write a sequel. The success of "After Fidel" showed me I was mistaken about the first part. Now, I'm breaking my other rule and trying my hand at fan fiction. With Nick Scipio's permission (and extensive help), I'm adding a little bit of background to his monumental work.

Nick once told me that the real skill was in writing flash fiction, telling a story in less than 1,000 words. Inspiration struck one morning like an arrow flying silently through a forest. A story that short should be spontaneous. From inspiration to writing to posting was barely hours. I didn't even take the time to run this one past my editorial team. How many mistakes can I make in less than 400 words? None, I hope.

My publisher asked me to write a story to fill a niche. They wanted a gangbang story around 1,600 words. Working within those tight constraints, I tried to explore the feelings of someone attending a gangbang. It was a stretch for me, but I did my research and tried to relate it properly.

That's all (for now) as far as fiction. If you're still looking for things I've written, you might want to take a look at this non-fiction piece. My stories have been fiction set in a real place. Here, I did the opposite. I started with fictitious places from the stories of Nick Scipio and found the real places that inspired them. With Nick's help, I visited many of the sites that appear in the Jazz Club Stories and the Summer Camp Stories. I wrote an illustrated travelogue of my journey. This link takes you to the story which appears on his web page. If you haven't read the works of Nick Scipio, you might want to before reading this piece. I highly recommend reading his stories. He is an excellent writer and he inspired me to start writing.
Step inside Nick's stories
First published July 2004.
I read erotica online for years, then I got a chance to give back by drawing maps and proofreading for Nick Scipio. I'm learning a lot from him while he writes Summer Camp. In late 2003, I gave writing a try. I posted my first story in early 2004 and the response was much greater than I ever expected. The appeal for more from my readers was irresistible so I kept writing. Let me know what you like and don't like about my work. Feedback keeps me going.
I'd like to acknowledge and thank some people who have provided a lot of help to me in bringing these stories to you. First, my proofreader, Terry Steyaert. Terry and I work together proofreading the Summer Camp series for Nick Scipio. Terry also proofreads and edits for many other writers. Over the years, MrSpock, Alexis Siefert, St. George and JRB have each helped out by serving as my editors. I am most grateful for the time all of these people put into turning the stories I write into the finished product you read. They point out the errors I put in. Without these friends, the stories would be messier. Any errors they might miss are, of course, my mistakes. Thanks, my friends.
Thanks Jan de Mas who created a beautiful Spiffybooq™ of The Cuba Stories and made it available for me to share with my readers. I have lost touch with Jan de Mas so the newest corrections haven't been applied to the Spiffybooq. St. George helped by running down technical details for me during After Fidel, and by doing reality check reads for many of my later stories, right up to the last two days of his life. RachaelY has also been a great help with background information. Thanks to all of you for helping to make my stories as good as they are.
I was greatly honored to be nominated for the Golden Clitorides Awards 2004 New Author of the Year. Thank you for all the nominations my stories have received. I was delighted when Havana Club won second place for Best Romantic Story of 2004. As a new author coming online near the end of the awards cycle that year, I was ecstatic to be nominated in such esteemed company, and winning awards for my work has been wonderful. I am still amazed that King Size Bed has had download counts almost off the chart, now in excess of a million downloads. Thanks for reading.
My stories in total have now logged well over 2 million downloads. As one reader pointed out, that averaged out to more than one download every minute (though, realistically, almost half of the downloading was due to the popularity of King Size Bed). The popularity of my stories is all due to you, my readers, and I thank you. I've heard from so many of you and tried to reply to each message. Unfortunately, some came in anonymously so I couldn't answer your questions or thank you for the compliments. I began my second year of writing without my good friend, St. George. While his voice is no longer on the telephone, I can still hear his advice in my thoughts. Meanwhile, new friends are stepping forward to help out.
I am always looking to branch out into new things. I tried my hand at writing a few no-sex stories and the reception was magnificent. One of them even placed in the 2005 Golden Clitorides as Short Story of the Year. Wow - a no-sex story winning the Golden Clitorides! With Nick Scipio's permission and help, I wrote a fan fiction piece for Summer Camp. My first story has been released as a novel under the pen name J. Strickland. Ask for it now at your local adult bookstore. Seeing one of my stories in print is an amazing experience. Next I tried writing flash fiction. I tried to take a moment and preserve it for all time. A recent story, "Secrets Revealed" involves an interesting subplot and required a larger than normal team to help produce. It also foretells the beginning of Nick Scipio's Summer Book 4 - Christy. I am also very proud of the fact that my writing has inspired some others to try their hand at writing, producing many outstanding pieces for everyone to enjoy. I believe everyone has a story to tell. The latest news is that more of my stories are being published. Look for them as novels and also as short stories in magazines.
As always, thanks for reading. I love to write, but it wouldn't be nearly as much fun without people enjoying reading my stories.
