500 Miles Snippet
500 Miles
by Parker Williams
When I was fourteen I fell in love with an older man. It wasn’t any one thing that made me fall in love. In fact, I can’t even tell you when I realized it. When I started high school he was there for me. He helped me in ways that no one else would. He laughed at my jokes.

A Sad Day For Male Rape Victims In India
Several weeks ago, I wrote about the Indian government's reaction to lobbying for changes to their rape statutes. I noted in the piece that women's groups in India opposed changing the statute from "rape" to "sexual assault" because it included women as potential rapists. Their argument was that rape is an expression of patriarchal power, therein making it impossible for women to rape men, and that men accused of rape would simply accuse the women of rape, both of which are typical feminist arguments against acknowledging male victimization.
Always such a contentious isue and this makes very sobering and disturbing reading. Take a look at my own website

for how I feel about the whole situation and how I got involved in this in the first place.

How to sell eBooks in Second Life
I'm always looking for new ways to sell books. I haven't yet managed to get that snowball effect with my novels, and am far from getting that crucial 1,000 sales on Amazon, so at the moment it's hand selling all the way. Not that I mind, it's nice to actually talk directly to most of the people who buy my stuff, but it takes up a lot of time - time that I'd rather be using to write.
A thought provoking post from Geoff Wakeling on using Second Life to sell books.

Men are survivors too. Male soldier writes about surviving female-on-male rape.
Richard, United States Army
When you think of a Predator or Military Sexual Trauma (MST) you think women being raped by men. When you think of Male who has Military Sexual Trauma you think male on male rape. I am a Survivor I have Military Sexual Trauma (MST) PTST & no male has ever touched me.
I was an Active Duty Liaison during this time period.

Hello world!
Well, the dust has finally settled and the novel has been written. Even better than this, I have now officially got a signed, sealed and delivered contract with a well known e-publisher and I’m over the moon.
I still can’t believe I’ve got this far in just four months. I’ve written 2 and a half novels as a series of work, submitted my work, got the first one accepted for publication and am currently busy with the re-writes that my very professional and helpful Editor wants to get the story just that much better.
It’s a little surreal and to be honest, I have to pinch myself every now and then just to make sure I’m not in a parallel universe.
I’ll keep everyone updated on the progress and as soon as things move along, I’ll be sure to let you know….
Look to the future, always
Sue
