Was Royal Flush EVER published?
A.M. Snead I deeply apologize for the delay in our response. I haven't been on Goodreads for a while. The ROYAL trilogy was published a considerable time ago. It's available on Amazon under the title: ROYAL: Gideon's Angels (Vol. 2)

I ran across A Little Lost: A Lost series novella (Bk 5) on Amazon today. It was obvious it was the most recent of a series, but then in researching I couldn't tell where to begin. Is there a specific reading order to the various series' you've written? Do I need to read the Phoenix series before starting the Lost series? I couldn't tell if there was overlap or not and want to start at the beginning. Thanks!
A.M. Snead I strongly suggest starting at the beginning, as all the series do tend to overlap and it's the best way to get to know the characters more intimately.

The reading order is as follows:

#1 - THE PHOENIX CLUB (5-book bundle)
#2 - THE PHOENIX CHRONICLES (3-book trilogy)
#3 - THE COWBOY GANGSTER (5-book bundle)
#4 - THE PHOENIX WEDDING (6-book bundle)
#5 - THE COWBOY GANGSTER: BADASS COLLECTION (4-book bundle)
#6 - LOST: THE COMPLETE SERIES (4-book bundle)

** "A LITTLE LOST" is the follow-up to the LOST series.
** "GUILTY BY BLOOD" is a companion novel to the book REAPER (included in the BADASS collection).

You can find all of these books/bundles on my amazon author page at the link below. Hope this helps :)

Loved the story of Luke and John. When will we be able to read about Mitch and Bob and Sharon and Brandy? Also read your others book and can’t wait to read th second parts of Lost in Love, Royal, Made to be broken. Love your books and enjoy reading them. Going through them one at a time.
A.M. Snead I'm attempting to finish up my unfinished series (Soulscape, Wanderlust, Royal) before embarking on new projects. 'ONE KISS' (Mitch & Bob's book) is at the top of my 'to-be-written' list, though. I actually have about three chapters written on that book lol but I put it on hold until I am able to finish up these other series.

I know it seems to be taking forever, and I apologize for that. I do greatly appreciate your patience and continued support.

Hey are you going to finish the boys of porn series? It says Royal Flush coming soon but it still hasnt been released? Thanks!
A.M. Snead Hi Chelsea, I apologize for the delay in replying.

The Boys of Porn series is currently being revised, so the Royal books are temporarily on hold. As soon as I complete the revisions, the series will resume with Royal Flush.

Is Royal Flush published yet. Book 5 of BOP?
A.M. Snead The BOP series is currently under revision and the Royal books are temporarily on hold. When I'm ready to release Royal Flush, I will widely announce it across facebook, twitter, and goodreads :)

are you going to continue the "That Which Was Lost" series? Gretings from Mexico
A.M. Snead So sorry for not replying. I somehow missed your question. And yes, I am absolutely going to continue the series :) Just juggling multiple projects right now, trying to get some overdue stuff done before I start on new projects :)

When will the next Soulscape book come out?
A.M. Snead I don't have an estimated release date just yet. I'm kind of immersed in a couple other projects, but as soon as I finish them, I want to focus on the next Soulscape book :)

are you going to write a other book on boys of porn?
A.M. Snead Yes. I'll be working on it this month :)
flag
What are you currently working on?
A.M. Snead Finishing up "Love Unaccepted", the Jack & Travis follow-up novella to The Brokenhearted Necklace series. Then I will be starting "Royal Flush", book 5 of the Boys of Porn series.

As CJ Bishop, I am working on the Phoenix Wedding novella series.

Is (little) Sammy and Jericho's story coming soon? I loved them from Jackson's Punishment and it would be amazing to become more familiar with their story.
A.M. Snead I am anxious to begin that series. I have a few other projects I need to finish up before I can focus on their story, though. But many of them are small projects. I'm going to set my "estimate" for their story at the beginning of this next year, but really hope to get it started sooner.

Currently, I have the next two "Royal" (Boys f Porn series) books to get finished as well as the final 2 installments of the 'Soulscape' series and Part 2 of the 'Haunted Lovers' story.

Once these are out of the way, I will be able to begin some 'new' stories and the Sammy/Jericho gangster series is one of my top priorities.

How do you get inspired to write?
A.M. Snead I don't have to "get" inspired; I always am. Before I discovered my passion for gay romance, my writing was very sporadic. I went through phases of inspiration, then it would go away, sometimes for months. I had a ton of stories "started" but few finished. Of course, at the time, I had no fans, and that really makes a difference :) But even so, I just didn't have the emotional bond with my M/F characters that I now have with my "boys". I live and breathe my boys, and miss them terribly whenever I have to leave my computer, and can't wait to get back to them haha perhaps I'm a little "obsessed" but I can live with that ;)

It's that passion for them, though, that keeps me inspired and motivated around the clock. I don't know what I would do without them.

How do you deal with writer’s block?
A.M. Snead Honestly, I don't know. Since I started writing M/M romance in late 2012, I've never had it. I get "brain fatigue" lol and have to take a break now and then, but I have never been 'blocked'. Maybe it's because I have so many story ideas bouncing around in my head that I don't have time to get stuck or become unmotivated. I am gloriously happy writing about my boys and haven't once been "bored" since I began.

I'm doing what I love and loving what I do :)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?
A.M. Snead It's like playing "pretend" :) As a kid, I loved to play with my barbie dolls and model horses, and would immerse myself in fantasy storylines. When people get to a certain age, their mind doesn't work that way anymore and "playtime" is over :/ I think writers are adults who miss playing "pretend", because you get to make up stories and become engrossed in them, and in such a way that the adult mind will accept.

LOL I don't know, I just love to write. And I'm crazy in love with my boys, so I guess, for me, "they" are the best thing about being a writer...and having so many of my readers fall as deeply in love with them as I am - that is so awesome! :)
