Hey guys! Today is the last day to get Something Like fall through the The Indiegogo campaign, which ends tonight at midnight PST. Anyone who contributes, no matter the amount, will receive the exclusive new story!Behind on the movie news? Check out the following!
Benjamin Bentley is an out and proud teenager, who we see grow up over the course of twelve years, during which he meets two very special guys. Ben will be played by Austin McKenzie, who you can learn all about in this video.
Tim Wyman meets Ben when they are teenagers, but he struggles with who he is. Their lives will intertwine over the years as he too evolves as a person. He’ll be played by Davi Santos, who you can see in action in this video.
Patient, kind, world-wise, and charming, Jace Holden is the perfect guy, and for once, looks aren’t deceiving! He is Ben’s guiding light when they meet as adults. Fall head over heels with Ben Baur, who will be playing Jace, in this video here.
Allison Cross is Ben’s best friend, his rock even when the the seas aren’t stormy. She’ll be played by Ajiona Alexus, who is a talented singer, since music will feature in the movie. You can hear her wonderful voice in this video.And finally, the plot of the movie summed up in five seconds. ;)

Hallellujah!! An angel here at GR just told me that (view spoiler) Phew!!!Thank you! It eases the pain quite a bit.Btw, I'm really not crazy. I'm truly a normal person - though I tend to care about some of the characters I "meet" in my books.

I'm happy you're enjoying the books, Anna, although I feel a little guilty that they are destroying you. I'll send you some Band-Aids in the mail. They should hold you together enough to get through Autumn! ;)
Thanks for being my GR friend!! Just FYI, Your Seasons series is DESTROYING ME!!! I can't tell you how much and how long I cried over Jace in SLS and as I'm reading SLA now..I cry (view spoiler) in anticipation of the ending even if the page I'm reading isn't even remotely sad!

I'll be sure to make a trip to Germany, purchase some tall stilts and do just that ;P Although would you mind moving down to maybe the 3rd or 2nd floor? I feel the fourth is a tad taller even for stilts haha

Jay,Thank you, thank you, thank you for writing Something Like Summer and Something Like Winter! These truly are two of the most amazing books in gay fiction, and I can't wait for the third installment in the "Seasons" series. Keep up the excellent work!
Hi Jay! It was awesome meeting you, too! Hope to see you again soon. And let's plan to sit together again at next year's Lambdas. If we don't sweep, we can vacuum. haha

Thanks, Charles! That's very kind of you. Do you read them on your iPad or iPhone? I haven't had an opportunity to read on either of those devices yet.
Thanks for the friending, Jay :-)I'm pleased to find your books on iTunes. I got 'em all last night!
I'm in Esslingen myself, which isn't too far away from Stuttgart. I've never been to Bamberg, but I've visited Nürnberg a few times. Nice to meet you! =)
