I have read your guidelines and the only stumbling block is the fact I do not have the book in print. It is something I have looked into but keep running into brick walls. Could you advise how I remedy this situation. As for content, I am a bisexual male and the story centers around my time in an English boarding school. There is minimal sexual content albeit not explicit but in light of the overall theme which is of isolation and bullying it would be impossible to omit all sexual content and make any sense. As stated the story is currently being serialised on the blog address provided but is as yet to reach the point where the story begins in earnest. The book IS complete and saved on draft and can be sent to print within a matter of days (typos and grammar needs a final check). I would appreciate any information you have that may enable me to instigate the publishing process. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. Regards Thank you for your reply.

I fully expect my book to catch flack for having gay characters. But I'm gay so I don't care. It's not like I chose to be this way and neither did my characters. Thank you, Kim.

Great review. And you're most certainly correct about the need to fill the LGBT void in literature. I've received a little flack from personal friends and family for adding it into my books, but I don't really care too much about that. I have also been told, "I loved your book, except the lesbian parts." Well, then you didn't love the book. I digress. Great job Michael and I wish you much success! Congrats Michael!
