In 1997, I wanted to end my life. I awoke from a dream that saved my life, started writing, and simply couldn't stop. Years later, I was reviewing a Chinese students mid-term exam from his Chinese English teacher, and read a story about Amanda Hocking. I immediately went online, did some research and realized in 2013, that I had an avenue of therapy to tell my story. I fictionalized the harsh reality of my childhood, with a character I developed to be addictive.
As a developing writer, I have attempted to evolve outside the book, and allow the reader to surround themselves with the descriptive environment as the chronological story unfolds around them while they read. Eventually that magic will surround a reader. Some get my writing style, and I expect others just don't 'get it.'
I write Gay Fiction. I don't write gay romance, and there is no guarantee of a happily ever after. Life is tragic. Allowing the reader to immerse themselves in someone else's circular destructive tragedy is an alternate release of emotion.
I thought I was once writing for a specific market, until I noticed in readers reviews that more than half of my readers, fans and followers were middle aged married women. Some who have emotionally connected with the character and the story.
My writing style evolves with each paragraph, chapter, and book release. I have so much to learn about publishing, but still cherish the passionate articulate release of writing, and developing my style is inspired by interaction with my readers. Without my readers interactive comments, I would have stopped writing. Now, I strive for original dramatic expression to maintain the climactic adventure readers expect.
When I edit and re-edit a book after its completion and a scene can generate emotionally captivating tears, I so hope that same experience on every reader.

Completely on accident! I had written the first 300 page novel, "Moments in Time: It is never too late to come out," and published it on amazon. I had over 40 positive, compelling reviews that inspired me to keep writing as the story wasn't even close to being over. One day, the book was blocked. I panicked. I had been reported for pornographic content. I couldn't believe I had such a great short term rise, to only crash and burn. I followed the advice of amazon, and republished the novel after an extensive edit. Three positive reviews later, the book was again blocked for pornographic content. The publishing world was not for me.
I decided to break up the novel, leaving out the first three chapters. I decided to re-brand the novel into six published works, leaving a seventh unpublished. I am gay. I write gay fiction. Whats gayer than unicorns, sparkle ponies and the rainbow? Emerging from the ashes, I created the full color spectrum, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. leaving Pink (the first three chapters) unpublished.
Branding the quick read series, i offer a 100 page quality read, as it was my way of demonstrating to the publishing world that you can set your own standards to offer a quality read at an affordable price point. I was disappointed reading some other short reads of 44 pages for 3.99 with no second book to buy to get more of the story. Totally and unquestionably unacceptable in my marketing mind. It just seemed to make sense to brand the series the Rainbow Reader. This series features a specific chronological timeline of the fictional character Georgie, and his circular, repetitive rise and fall that developed through the course of the Rainbow Reader Series.
In my eyes, the Rainbow Reader series can be read out of order. But I already know the timeline, and for those wishing to get the complete story, and create an addictive reading habit, I created the Rainbow Reader bundle offering all six books for one price with the option to get "Pink: The Secret Manuscript" by email for free simply by forwarding the purchase email to my email address. Now, the story can be read in sequence and the ability to privately obtain the first three chapters most certainly satisfying readers who need the complete story.
