Excerpt from a Review by Sadonna of “The Novel Approach” 4 out of 5 stars This book is just really well written. There was drama and suspense that …
Rainbow Snippets #09
I’ve joined the Rainbow Snippets group on Facebook. From their description: “Rainbow Snippets is a group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week to share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation (no spoilers please!).” Pretty cool, eh? Don’t forget to “Like” my Facebook page and/or my Facebook profile while you’re over there checking out this fantastic group! Today I’m …
Flash Fiction Friday #05
Flash Fiction: There isn’t a standard specific definition for this term beyond “short”, but for the purposes of this “Flash Fiction Friday” post it will mean a precisely 100-word story scene written from a photo prompt. I’m recycling again, today. This is a piece I wrote in a GoodReads M/M Group thread back on November 30, 2015. Alas, I am hopelessly behind on my Camp NaNoWriMo WIP, so I’ve got to cut corners …
Review Roundup – ’Til Death Do Us Part
Excerpt from a Review by Dyllan of “Gay Book Reviews” 4.5 out of 5 stars — “Recommended Read” I really, really, really liked this story. The author sets the pace well, and we are able to get to know the characters and how they are dealing with everything since the crash. The day-by-day at the island sometimes cracked me up, and at others had me at a point of tears. Henry, Garret, Devon …
Flashback Scene from Sam’s POV #02 (Chap. 3)
’Til Death Do Us Part is now out in eBook formats through JMS Books, LLC (and all the usual distributors), and will be available in print format on June 30, 2016. Back on April 17th I posted one of the flashback scenes from ’Til Death Do Us Part, rewritten to be from Sam’s POV instead of Henry’s (in the book, all the flashback scenes are told from Henry’s POV). This was motivated by a comment …

Flash Fiction: There isn’t a standard specific definition for this term beyond “short”, but for the purposes of this “Flash Fiction Friday” post it will mean a precisely 100-word story scene written from a photo prompt. Today’s prompt picture is: For the second night in a row Harrison sat straight up in bed, gasping for breath.

Flashback Scene from Sam’s POV #01 (Chap. 2)
’Til Death Do Us Part is now out in eBook formats through JMS Books, LLC (and all the usual distributors), and will be available in print format this coming June.

Wednesday Words #01 (PT’s #68) – ’Til Death Do Us Part
I recently started following PT Wyant’s blog, Novel Notes, and stumbled across PT’s post today titled Wednesday Words #68 (4/13/2016). Number 68, so obviously this is something PT’s been doing for a while now. Anyway, the idea is that a few prompt words will be posted just after midnight, eastern time, and followers of the blog are encouraged to write a bit of flash fiction (approx. 500 words) using those …

A Great Review and an Announcement
I’m cautiously pleased with how things are going so far with the release of my new book, ’Til Death Do Us Part. It’s been submitted for review at a number of review sites/blogs, and one has come through so far, but more have been promised. Dyllan at Gay Book Reviews gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars, and designated it a “Recommended Read.” Here’s a short excerpt from the review: “I …

Two More Days!
Only two more days before ’Til Death Do Us Part is available for download! This is my first new book since Cultivating Love was published by Loose ID back in June of 2009. I had a long stretch of “real life” keeping me from being able to find the time/space to write, but it feels good to be back. The excerpt in the image, above, is taken from the story’s prologue. …

Flash Fiction: There isn’t a standard specific definition for this term beyond “short”, but for the purposes of this “Flash Fiction Friday” post it will mean a precisely 100-word story scene written from a photo prompt. I’m going to try to do this every Friday. For my first post, today, I’m kind of cheating. I’m recycling a bit of flash fiction I wrote back in November for a thread in Goodreads’ M/M …

I Take Back My Last Post!
After playing around here with my shiny new WordPress account I find I like it much better than Blogger, so I take back my last (and only, up until this point) post, Blogger Is Where I’m Active. I am going to turn this WordPress account into my primary blog/website. The pages are still under construction, but I’ll get there. Turns out it’s quite user-friendly, so it’s just a matter of …
Blogger is Where I’m Active
I opened a WordPress account to make it easier to comment on WordPress blog posts. Perhaps in the future I’ll build this up to mirror my Blogger. In the meantime, to see what I’m up to check out my Blogger page: http://addison-albright.blogspot.com Or my Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/addison.albright I don’t actually post to my Facebook “profile,” but if you want to prompt me to follow you back, friend me here, too: https://www.facebook.com/addison.albright.profile I’m …
