Archie - A Gay, Gothic Romance

"Archie" is my latest release for the Kindle.

This is a Gothic horror story concerning two young men who are discovering their sexuality in Victorian society.

Archie and Percy come from different strata of Victorian Society, but their friendship quickly blossoms into an intimate one.

Can their idealised, romantic friendship survive the class difference and the Victorian disapproval of close male friendships? But there are worse tests to come. The story takes them into the world of the Occult and into truly shocking horrors.

Writing this book was a very interesting project. Unlike some of my other gay novels, this one is not so focussed on descriptions of sexual intimacy, but concentrates on the two heroes and their reactions to their mutal attraction.

The style I developed for the novel is a slow, romantic one and it was fascinating to weave an Occult aspect to the narrative. The two main characters are naive and much of the book deals with this and how it leads them into an horrific situation.

I have been interested in Occult ideas for many years and for this novel "Archie" I took, very loosely, some occult theories and developed my own fictionalised occult practices. Frankly it may take a bit of courage to read the middle secion of the novel, but do remember it is only fiction!

Dreams - What is Real?

"Dreams" has been published for the Kindle.

This is a five volume novel. Volumes 1 and 2 are available for you to try, or you can go straight to getting the complete 5 volume novel.

This was an interesting project, where I wrote each volume from one person's point of view. As you read through the stories, you realise how much things are misinterpreted by the characters.

I think this is true in life. We usually only know things from our own personal experience and our interpretation of those experiences. We can never be certain what the actuality is, unless we cross-examine people for their experience of the same events.

In "Dreams" the particular area covered in the multi-personality accounts is an individual's sexuality. Is someone straight or gay? Or are there degrees in between? If a "straight" man fools around with another man, does this mean he is not entirely straight?

Then again we also have the complication where, socially, it is often felt necessary to be "straight" or hide one's gay nature. People even are confused themselves, sometimes, as to their own sexuality.

So in "Dreams" we have men having sex together, while they work out their own sexuality as well as the sexuality of the other man.

Another aspect that I explored in the novel is the nature of dreams and the almost psychic forces that may be operating to determine events.

As a writer, it was fascinating to be able to create entirely different scenarios in the middle of the novel, by creating sleeping dreams for the characters. I also created some "lucid" dreams where the character was aware that they were dreaming. Creatively, as a writer, this is a very interesting area.

Something I had fun with in the final volume was using a writing device whereby I wrote sex scenes between a young straight man and a young gay man without compromising the straightness of the straight gay. But I won't give away how I did that at this point!

Str8 Boyz?

"Str8 Boyz?" is the second of my novels published for the Kindle.

It was a very interesting project to work on. The premise being that young men are taken away from normal society and put into a Reality TV program. Some of them are straight and some are gay. They have to try to work out who is which!

The novel describes how they behave in this unique environment where so much emphasis is put upon their sexuality, while being denied heterosexual contact. Added to this is the factor thst they have to fool the other contestants as to their true sexuality.

Very quickly the boys behave out of character, or are they behaving in character trying to fool the others with a double bluff?

The novel takes the current Reality TV phenomena to a new level of intimacy.

Please take a look at "Str8 Boyz?" and let me know what you think of it.

Mick - My First Novel

"Mick - Fifty Shades of Gay" was the first novel I ever wrote. It is now available for the Kindle

 I wrote this back in the old days of the Compuserve Gay forum and when I gave away the first few opening chapters, I got a lot of positive feedback, which encouraged me to write more.

Eventually it became an epic, 400+ page, interlinked novel where events were described from different people's point of view.

When I finally took the plunge to publish it for the Kindle, I coincidently realised there were exactly 50 different sub-stories within the novel. So the temptation to add the sub-title "Fifty Shades of Gay" was just too tempting a coincidence to resist!

This was my first attempt to write Gay Porn with a bit more depth than a lot of porn on the market, and to some extent, I think I succeeded.

The characters' emotional reactions to life and misunderstandings, desires and temptations is described, as well as lots of sex - of course!

Anyway, do take a look at it and let me know what you think. now available for the Kindle

Hello

Hi

Richard Peters here.

I am an author of erotic fiction - mostly gay fiction, with a bit of bisexual thrown into the mix!

My fiction is explicit and only for those over 18 and those not offended by intimate descriptions of M/M sex. But I also like to write about the inner workings of my characters' minds. In this way I try to make my novels interesting to the discerning reader.

So much gay fiction is a simple, anatomical description of sex, which while stimulating for a while, becomes rather boring in the end, in my opinion. I hope my novels, as well as providing sensual homoeroticism, (which, let's face it, readers of gay fiction do want) will also provide an emotionally fulfilling experience.

On my blog I will release details of any new works of fiction, from my keyboard, so stay tuned.

Currently I have over a dozen completed novels and I am in the process publishing them on the Kindle. My Amazon Author Profile is here: Author Profile

At present I have three of them published for the Kindle and will be rolling the rest out as soon as possible. I'd welcome any reviews from readers. So far, in the last month, they have sold regularly on Amazon.

I will also be releasing them on Smashwords - so please stay tuned for announcements, if you prefer to read on a different format from Kindle.

Please bookmark this Blog and stay tuned.
