Periodically, I scour the Internet, looking for sites that are illegally offering my books for free downloads. (There is currently one site that is doing this with one of my eBooks from the UK, so I’m trying to get that taken down.)

However, I think this site is cool:

Internet Archive

Even though I’m still alive and the rights to these 2 books technically belong to me, the books are indeed out of print. The original publishers have long since closed down, but you can now read these books for free.

You have to be on their site, and you can only read them for an hour at a time (so read quickly!!). And since I can’t see myself going through all the publication and PR work it would take to try to re-publish these books on my own, I think it’s cool that they’ll just be housed there, online, eternally.

In the Secret Hours: An Erotic Romance (2003)

Lust: Bisexual Erotica (2004)

There are a number of out-of-print titles in the archive that are collections of erotica, that my stories are included in (along with stories by other terrific erotica writers from back then). I’m not sure how you search for them. But the titles were all published in the early 2000s.

PLEASE remember, these books are intended for adults only!! “Thank you for your attention to this matter!!” — DJ Trump.

Here is a photo I just LOVE!

Ross K. Nichols included it in an announcement he sent out to his private Patreon group yesterday.

3 men that I just adore!! All sitting at the same table:

James Tabor, Ross K. Nichols, Simcha Jacobovici

And here’s this!

The photo was accompanied by a letter Peter Orlovsky wrote to Allen Ginsberg from overseas, back in 1963. (Peter Orlovsky and Allen Ginsberg were life-long life partners.)

And don’t forget!!

Tomorrow, Nick Cave and Colin Greenwood continue their tour with 2 sold out shows in Baden-Baden, Germany! (And then there are 2 sold out shows in Luxembourg the following week, and then the tour is OVER!) (Wow, I can’t really believe that. It means the summer is basically over, too.)

While we wait for tomorrow to arrive…

Here’s another one from my desktop stash!

And, honestly, that’s it for now, gang.

I gotta scoot and head to town to take my favorite 95-year-old Japanese man out for sashimi & sake!!

It’s another really beautiful day, so he should really enjoy getting out and about! (I always take the long way home with him, through the village of Granville, which is just a beautiful little town, so that he can at least see it all again. He has lived in Granville for 23 years now, and most of that time, his 2nd wife was alive and they were very, very active. Even though his short-term memory is not good, his long term memory is great, and he still has tons of memories from his years in Granville with her.)

Okay!

Have a wonder-filled Wednesday, wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with this!

Another song that my favorite 95-year-old Japanese man just loves! He quotes the chorus to me quite frequently.

The classic “Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)”, by Doris Day. 1956. Sing along and enjoy, gang!!
