It's a brave new world out there! Just in time for My Sexy Saturday (#MSS85), I've dipped my fingers into indie publishing. After having over sixty books published I thought I was competent enough to put out a short story on my own. Finding the photo I turned into the cover helped a lot, too. I saw that picture and I knew I had a story for that guy.
Here are seven sexy paragraphs from my first indie story, Hey, Joe.

HEY, JOE
Available now at Amazon
About Hey, Joe:
A vignette of contemporary gay romance
New York City detective Joe Hamilton lives a double life as an undercover operative. When a case takes an unexpected turn, Joe finds himself separated from his partner. He scribbles a cryptic message in a birthday card and drops it in the mailbox.
Riley O’Shea kissed his partner goodbye at the
beginning of a normal day only to have Joe disappear without a word. Riley’s
worried but after a greeting card arrives with a date and flight number inside,
Riley claims the ticket and boards a plane to Chicago. It’s the only way to get
the answers he needs – and lots of reunion sex.

“Riley.” He tapped my hip. “Riley?”
I groaned and made an attempt to
slide to the side and get off him. He aided my effort by giving me a shove. I
snickered at him. “That’s payback, isn’t it?”
Joe was breathing hard but he
managed to speak. “I recall you said, and I quote,
‘Get the fuck off me now’ just before you flipped me to the floor.”
I stroked his cheek with my
knuckles. “I helped you up.”
He smiled as a streak of sunlight
fell across the bed. His beautiful blue eyes sparkled as he gazed at me. “I’ve missed you, Riley. I’m so
sorry--”
“Shh. Don’t you think that after
all these years I know?”
“But it was a shitty thing to do
to the guy I’m in love with.”

Sounds like my kind of story.
It was just an idea I had that never quite grew into a novel. I figured it was time to do something with it and then I saw that photo...excuse me... I still need a moment when I view that photo...
Congrats on dipping your finger into indie publishing.
I'm definitely a greenhorn with the publishing world.
About Hey, Joe… your snippet is intriguing. I don't think one needs to be of the persuasion to be able to enjoy a well written story. I also like your little bit of backstory, definitely makes these characters come to life.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for the A to Z Challenge.
