“I will let you know when we have an offer on the house,” said Alan. “No, thank you for trusting DCK Realty with selling your home. All right, goodbye and have a great day!”
Alan hung up the receiver of his office phone and swiveled his chair towards his computer screen. He logged into his computer terminal and opened his email.
The client had just sent pictures of his lovely little one story bungalow for Alan to post onto the company’s website.
Alan hadn’t been with the D.C.K very long and if he continued to not make sales, he wouldn’t be with the company much longer. Despite Alan’s natural charm and likability, he just couldn’t close a sale. It didn’t matter the type of house he just couldn’t close.
Alan’s boss Mr. Ritchie was giving Alan one more try at a sale. He told Alan that if he couldn’t sell Mr. Peters’ bungalow then he would have to let him go.
Alan took his time posting the pictures Mr. Peters’s had sent of his empty home. Alan was no photoshop expert, but he knew enough to really make the images of the bungalow pop. He had to or else he might as well be working on his resume instead of the pictures.
It only took Alan a few moments to add some final touches to the photos to make the bungalow really pop. To be honest, the bungalow really did look amazing in real life. Alan just needed to get people into the house to have someone fall in love with it, even if it meant making the pictures look a little “emphasized” on the computer screen.
Alan had just completed posting the pictures and listing the house when Jared walked in.
Jared was a tall thin man with beady brown eyes. He must have been in a fraternity when he was in college because he only wore polo pastel colored shirts and pants. He had an air about him that invited total dislike, even before he spoke.
“I could help get that sweet bungalow off your hands,” said Jared with a cocky grin. “I won’t ask for too much….how does half of the commission sound?”
“Now, why would I give you half of the bungalow commission?” asked Alan in a sarcastic tone.
“Everyone in the office knows that this is your last shot at staying with the company,” said Jared with an air of superiority in his voice. “I’d hate to see you out of a job.”
Alan rolled his eyes. He knew that word had gotten around that he was on his last leg as an employee at DCK Realty. He couldn’t deny that fact. He knew that this was his last chance to stay with the company. He hated that Jared was right and he hated that everyone in the office knew how hard up he was.

The Clouds Still Hang by Patrick C Notchtree @pcnotchtree
A trilogy telling a story of love and loyalty, betrothal and betrayal, triumph and tragedy; novels that chart one man’s attempts to rise above the legacy of a traumatic childhood.
The first book deals with Simon’s childhood friendship and eventually love affair with an older boy, the second the trauma of his teenage years and early adulthood, the third his struggle to maintain equilibrium and the consequences of his failure at one point to achieve that.
It is a fictional biography, written because it tells a strong story which raises many issues over six decades, the post war baby boomer generation who in many ways never had it so good.
His own experience is probably unique, yet will strike a chord with many others who have been through similar things, as well as those with an interest in such matters, either personal or professional, such as police and probation officers, criminologists with an interest in this field or those investigating the developing ‘queer theory’.
It’s a varied, exciting, demanding, sometimes terrifying life story.
It is not suitable for those under 18 years or who find explicit sexual narrative, including sexual violence, offensive.
The first part was originally published in March 2012 under the title “The Secret Catamite Book 1 The Book of Daniel” which is still available separately in downloadable formats only.

The foreman will probably fire him for having the wrong kind of wood.
Then Gary surprises him. He shows he knows how to be the boss in more than one way. The question remains if this will be a one time thing, or something more. Tim’s got one chance to show the man how good he can be, before his dream man slips through his fingers.

Bear Back Mountain by Artemis Wolffe

Before either of them realize it, their relationship is moving to the next level, as secrets are revealed and mysteries solved. That is, until one day the dating service calls Hunter to notify him of his ‘match’.
Betrayed and broken, Alex writes off what he thought was something special as just another mistake in his life. When Hunter comes after him though, he isn’t taking no for an answer. For him, love is more important than rules, which are made to be broken. Armed with the power of a granted wish, Hunter tracks down his lover to claim him as his own and to provide his family with the heir they desire.
Exploring my FREEDOM – gay diary by David Svoboda
My name is David. This diary is my true story!
I’m a simple guy from Prague in Czech Republic. That’s in Central Europe – a young country that has been under communists until 20 years ago, when we got our independence.
I’m 28 years old now and my world view has always been projected towards the west, not east. Towards the modern and free, not socialist and limiting. Luckily I lived in a family where these values were encouraged and nourished. Open mindedness, optimism and hard work are the values that I developed throughout my childhood.
I’ve been told I am cute, but I don’t always believe it. Sometimes I look in the mirror and see a real hunk. Then there are times I think I look strange – big pointy nose and chin, uneven ears and a skinny body, especially my legs. But I have been working out regularly for some time so I’m quite fit. I’m hairy, but keep my body hair trimmed short. It’s a sexy look if you are into that.
Less clear-cut is my love life; I don’t know if I have ever been in love. It’s a strange feeling to admit to yourself at 28 years old that you have probably never experienced romantic love. I mean I have had some nice people in my life, people that I really cared about and still do to this day, but I’ve never really felt in love.
My relationship with Dominic had lasted for five years. Had I loved him? Unfortunately, if I’m totally honest with myself, I have to admit – no. During the relationship, those feelings were complicated. Now that I was free, it was clear. I had not loved him. Did I care about him? Of course I did! I missed him a lot when we broke up. But after five years, you would miss anyone. People get used to each other, comfortable in the routine, even if the love is lacking.
After five years of relationship, my heart seemed to scream… Freedom! He loved me, and I knew that, I felt that! He wore his heart on his sleeve. While I felt, and knew I needed to be, free, I felt bad for hurting him by breaking up. He was so nice to me, very caring and generous, taking care of me whenever and wherever I needed.
One thing in our relationship did not work: sex. Our libidos were completely different – I needed sex often, he needed it very rarely. I was so horny, I felt I was going crazy. No amount of flirting or sensual touch could turn him on; nothing would make him give me what I wanted: for him to rip my clothes off and take me passionately.
After some time I gave up trying to seduce him and discovered the vast world of online porn. I enjoyed watching hardcore porn. But then I found the live cam scene and discovered I loved jerking off on a live cam stream with people watching me. During that time when I would get turned on and jerk with other guys online, I lost all sexual interest in Dominic. He did not even make me hard anymore. Now I was used to a hot guy from Brazil or that hung stud from the Machofucker movie getting me aroused. Sad, but true: I stopped trying with Dominic, and for some time, my newly discovered online porn world was enough to satisfy me. My new ‘sex’ life didn’t last for long though.
We didn’t cheat on each other and we didn’t look for threesomes. Though I was willing to experiment with that, Dominic was strongly against it. So sex, or the lack of it, became a big problem in our relationship – the problem that broke us up. I was feeling unhappy and unsatisfied to the point I could no longer take it and so I ended the relationship. Sometimes the best solution is also the hardest, the most painful. I was in my best years and was aching to be sexually satisfied. Dominic was not the person to do that anymore. So that was that.
I made a profile on an online dating site only three days after the break-up. I was ready to have real, hot fun with guys! Now I was free to do it; I was free to let go, to find someone real, to bring my love life out of the virtual world and into the flesh!
Very soon I started to plan a holiday. For the first time in five years, I was free to go wherever I wanted, to follow my own agenda. Visions of a journey across the USA captivated my imagination. I wanted to explore new places, meet new people and have a lot of fun. I wanted to go alone so I could have the whole time for myself. It was, after all, a celebration of my freedom. It would be my great adventure for the year.
After planning an itinerary and buying the tickets, I waited impatiently for the date of departure!
It finally came and my adventure began… This book is a diary from that trip. Have fun!
