New today . . .

Hi folks. An update for today . . . I have just posted a Chapter 2 for one of my stories that began last year, JOYRIDE (you will find it under my Thompson River Tales collection).

When young Joey Dunn boosted that shiny new Ford a week before Christmas back in 1965, he had no idea just where that act might lead him! Let the adventure begin!

I have also sent this off to Nifty.Org today and will also be forwarding it onto Dabeagle as well, the other sites where this is currently being hosted.

And in other news, my very first story, AFTER WE DANCED, will be making an appearance on IOMFATS.ORG this coming week, following a freshen up with a new edit, thanks to my editor, Michael. I am very grateful to Tim at IOMFATS for the opportunity to be able to add my stories to his site and bring them to a new audience. We will be adding the remaining stories in the series to IOMFATS as well, once they have all been given a freshen up!

There is also more happening in the background at the moment, with more stories in the works, so stay tuned! 🙂

Happy reading!

So, where I am at now . . .

Well folks, just a quick update on what’s been happening and what’s going to be happening in my world. 🙂

The final chapter of STOCKROOM SECRETS was this week posted on Nifty. I certainly enjoyed writing this one and I’m so glad that so many people have enjoyed reading it. Thank you to those who have already sent me emails or messages about this story. Your comments are very much appreciated.

Currently I am working on new chapters for JOYRIDE and a few other stories, which will all be posted once ready. I’m also reviewing a partially completed story, SEVENTEEN AGAIN, which is a sequel to my book The SEVENTEENTH SUMMER, and that will be the next major project I will be working towards completing.

I have also been in discussions with Tim from the IOMFATS website, about my earlier stories being posted there, and as a result I am in the process of giving AFTER WE DANCED a review and general tidy up, before sending it off to Tim. The same will happen with the subsequent stories in that series.

While working on these projects I am not sure how much new material will be getting posted, but I will try to make sure to at least have something I can offer you from time to time.

Until next time, enjoy your reading, and stay safe!

An update on my updates . . .

Hey ya’ll, I’m still in the land of the living, just in case anyone was wondering. Let me tell ya, between my real job, the farm and my writing there’s never a dull moment! lol

So, this week I wanted to let you know that the final chapter for Beyond Salvation has been sent off to Nifty and should appear shortly. It is also with IOMFATS, so will appear there as well. Other sites will follow shortly.

This journey with JJ and Dallas and friends has been a long one, and I have to admit that I’m a little sad that I have reached this point, as I love these guys, but never fear, I promise they will be back … they still have to survive another year at Saint Joseph’s Catholic High School yet, so there are bound to be new challenges awaiting them.

I can also let you know that I have already started to draft out their next story, but it will be a while before that one gets to the point of having enough chapters to start posting it . . . so stay tuned! You’ll hear it here first once it’s getting closer!

Stockroom Secrets is also continuing to be posted on Nifty, as is A Good Place.

So, what next then? On my “to do” list are some more stories set in the Thompsonville universe, which had previously been put on the back-burner. There will be some new chapters to existing short stories, along with two new full length novels, which are either already underway, or are in the works. So stay tuned for these! I’ll try not to make you wait too long for these! 🙂

Happy readings!

Mark

Updates

Hey ya’ll. What can I say . . . things have been busy and I’ve just been slack. Sorry.

So, I thought I should give an update on what’s been happening of late.

‘Stockroom Secrets’ is still being posted weekly on Nifty, as are the new chapters of ‘Beyond Salvation’ (which is also being posted on Dabeagle and IOMFATS). I will try and get the rest of ‘Beyond Salvation’ loaded on here as soon as I get a chance.

‘A Good Place’ (which has been on here in its entirety for some time) is also getting uploaded to Nifty weekly.

As I’m still working on ‘Beyond Salvation’ at the moment there isn’t anything else new to load, but I’ll put out some notifications once I get to that point. I have some new chapters for ‘Joyride’ and ‘Traditions’ in the planning stages, along with another story set in the Thompsonville universe.

Stay tuned! 🙂

And thanks for reading!

Just published . . .

So . . . STOCKROOM SECRETS is still being posted on Nifty, but a few of my dear readers are getting a bit restless, and there is still a way to go as far as the number of chapters still to be posted. So . . . if you simply can’t wait, for a couple of bucks you can always download the complete e-book (pdf), which is available here:

Thank you for your support! :)

Thursday Update :)

Hi folks, just thought I would let you know what’s happening with updates at the moment 🙂

Chapter 14 of Beyond Salvation has been posted this week here, on IOMFATS and Nifty! Please enjoy!

Thought I might also share a little experimentation I’ve been doing using some AI software, creating an image of our favourite BS boys, JJ and Dallas. There was a bit involved in creating this, but I’m reasonably happy with the output. I hope you are too? 🙂

And in other updates, Stockroom Secrets and A Good Place are both still being posted on Nifty.

Stay tuned for more updates! 

Thanks for reading!

New Year . . . New Posts . . .

Happy New Year folks! And welcome to my first post for the year! Hopefully I can start to make a habit of this again! haha

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and wish you all the best for 2024! Hopefully you are all looking forward to doing lots of reading this year!

So, some of you will be aware that last year I did a re-edit on my story Beyond Salvation in preparation for it being posted on another site. In the process of doing this I finally decided to get cracking on the long promised new chapters, with a view of finally wrapping up a few loose ends!

I have now made some additions to this story here:

NEW UPDATES – Beyond Salvation – Chapter 12

NEW CHAPTER – Beyond Salvation – Chapter 13

Please enjoy! And don’t forget I always love to hear your feedback! 🙂

Seasons Greetings

Thank you all for your support over the past year, it has been a blast! I’ve enjoyed hearing from everyone who has responded to my stories throughout the past year, and I’m already looking forward to bringing more stories to you in 2024!

Merry Christmas to one and all!

See you on the flip side!

A little light reading . . .

So, while I’ve been beavering away on my Stockroom Secrets story for Nifty (which will be posted here shortly), I took some time out when another little idea distracted me.

So now I give you A BOY’S FIRST KISS.

Please enjoy!

This will also appear shortly on IOMFATS.ORG and NIFTY.ORG.

A new story to recommend…

So, I have been catching up on some reading on Nifty recently and a story in their High School section was recommended to me, and now that I’m hooked on the story I’m recommending it to you! 🙂

Please check out TRIPOD by Jay Gilbert

It is story that covers a lot of important and current topics, as well as being a fun read.

Enjoy!
