Goodreads asked Evan J. Corbin:

What are you currently working on?

Evan J. Corbin Currently, I'm working to market my first novel. I'm learning new things about the industry every day. There are so many tools to master. I experiment with things and see if they work. Most of all, I love connecting with the readers and hearing what they think about the work itself. Eventually, I want to write a sequel. The first book sets the stage for what comes next. Rick's journey throughout the first novel leads him to embrace his identity as a gay man. Gay men know that's just the start the real adventure that follows. We struggle with internalized shame and seek out validation, only to eventually realize that the things we use for validation don't always truly help. Alan Downs writes about this in his book, The Velvet Rage. I recommend it to any gay man who can read. It's a road map for being gay in a world that doesn't give us the acceptance we seek. It's also a clue into how Rick's character may continue to evolve in the future.
