What Is Love Is Always Write?
The Goodreads M/M Romance group invited members to choose a photo and pen a letter or prompt asking for a short M/M romance story inspired by the image; authors from the group were encouraged to select a letter or prompt and write an original tale. The result was an outpouring of creativity that shined a spotlight on the special bond between M/M romance writers and the people who love what they do.
If you’d like to view the photo, please feel free to join the Goodreads M/M Romance group (http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/2…) and visit the discussion section: Love Is Always Write.
Whether you are an avid M/M romance reader or new to the genre, you are in for a delicious treat.
So, here is the story prompt for my story TELLING JASE, that one of the people in the group came up with:
“I’m leaving, I’m tired of you, your family and that little brat. I had enough”
“Little brat? That’s your son you are talking about, our son.”
“I never wanted him anyway. I’m not the house wife type”
One drunken night was all it took. I’ve never loved her, but I will die for my little boy.
Now that she is out of my life, could I finally have the life I always wanted with the only one I’ve ever loved?

STORY DESCRIPTION: TELLING JASE tells the story of Sean Taggert, who has been in love with his best friend and former college roommate Jase Shaw for the last two years and nine months. He’s never told Jase how he feels, though. There were always other people in the way. Up until six months ago, Jase was shacked up with his cheating college boyfriend Marcus. Up until last night, Sean was engaged to the mother of his two-year old child, Cody. Cody may have been the result of a drunken one-night stand, but Sean would do anything for his son, including marry a woman he doesn’t love. But when Sean’s fiancée Lisa, calls him from her New York vacation to say that she’s left him and Cody for good, Sean calls Jase, the only person he knows who can get him though this. Now that they are both free, maybe it’s finally time for Sean to tell Jase how he really feels.
TELLING JASE will be released sometime in June, 2012 (I think) and will be posted to: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/888161-penny-wilder-telling-jase . Please note that this story does contain explicit sexual content and is for mature audiences only. Right now, you do need to be a member of the M/M Romance Group on Goodreads to read the story. If you love M/M Romances I highly recommend you join. They are a such an amazing group of people. I believe the story will be available to the public as an e-book later in the year as part of an anthology of all of the stories from the Love is Always Write project. I will post updates as I hear about release dates.
