Thanks for the question. I was like you when e-books first emerged. I refused to read them because I wanted to hold the book in my hand. I'm not sure how it happened but I eventually purchased an e-reader and have since gotten used to using it. Now I rarely read print.
All my books are available in print if they are novel-length. There are two from an Australian publisher which have not yet been made available worldwide or even in the U.S. Unfortunately, my novella sized stories are not all available in print. The Men's Room three-book series was recently made available through Extasy Books as a single print edition. But the Tidal Crest merman series is not yet available except for ebook, and the Full Nelson crime detective series is also only in digital format.
I do plan to eventually bundle the young adult novellas (Losers and Chasing My Dream) with a new story I've yet to write and try to release it as a single print book. I guess in a nutshell what I'm saying is that I'm working on getting to a point where everything of mine is available in print for those who prefer it. I have no advice, unfortunately, for how you can get other authors to make print available other than to contact them and let them know your preference. Thank you.

Extreme BDSM incorporates a lot of hyperbole, depicting somewhat wild erotic fantasies in not-so-realistic contexts. For this reason it's often panned and outright rejected by more mainstream erotica or m/m readers. For those of us who write and enjoy it, we approach the stories knowing full well that they're not intended to be literal. If you haven't read the Puppy Love series, this is similar, though less extreme than OBTJ. And I have a book called Fries With That Sir under my other pen name, EJ Allen. That's also kind of hardcore. Later this year I'll be releasing an anthology of stories called Bad Boys under my own name.
Some other authors in that sub genre you could check out include Ty Martenson, Devon McCormack, Christopher Pierce, Kol Anderson, Kenn Dahll, Andrew Ashling, R. Harding. There are lots and lots of others, but those are the ones I'm thinking of off the top of my head. And you might find some stories you like on the Nifty Archive (nifty.org) which is an amateur website. Look in the authoritarian section.

There is an additional book, not specifically a part of the series. It's a spinoff about Ryan. I had hoped the story would appeal to Puppy Love fans, but for whatever reason it wasn't all that well-received. I hoped that if it did well I'd be able to do other spin-offs, including Drew & Alex. I'm not so sure at this point, though.

Each book is a separate story and could be read independently; however, characters and events from previous stories are often referenced, and the final book of the series brings all the main characters from the five stories together. Thanks for y our question.

I write when I feel inspired to write. I'm not the type of writer who decides to write a certain number of words per day or per week. That doesn't work for me. The people who say you have to view writing as a job and simply put in your time and do the work...well, I think they are batshit crazy. Or maybe I'm the one who's crazy. But to me, when I try to set writing "goals" I'm functioning merely as a robot. That's not creativity. That's not art.

My best advice is to not listen to the advice of other writers. Listen to your heart.
