Newly released and improved Liberating Tomas

Happy to announce that my book, Liberating Tomas has been re-edited and re-released as of this month, June 2017. It is now available in paperback, hard cover as well as e-books of any device. I think it is a big improvement. The book is sweetly smaller and the formatting has been changed to help the reader enjoy the story even more.

I've entered my new book, Liberating Tomas, to compete in the Lamda Awards for gay literature.
It would be interesting and rewarding to receive a Lammy for gay romance!

HIV not detected

I may have to write a sequel to my book, Living Beyond Rainbows. After two years on new medications, my blood test is no longer HIV detected but too low to count. Now it's HIV NOT detected. They can't find any HIV virus in my blood! Maybe I'm cured!
