The Goodreads M/M Romance Group is once again doing a Dear-Author story-writing event for the summer. Last year I wrote Like the Taste of Summer for the event. This year I’m contributing two stories. And the first of those, Into Deep Waters, just released.
The “Love is Always Write” event isn’t actually scheduled to begin until May 15th. But today the group reached 6000 members and moderator Jen and her colleagues decided to release my story early in celebration. (Yay!!!) If you are a Goodreads member you can download the story in several formats here. If you are a member of the M/M group and want to look at the picture and letter that inspired the story you can find those (and the online version of the story) in the LiAW thread.
For those who are not members of either Goodreads or the group, I hope to provide a download of this story in the future from either All Romance ebooks or Smashwords. I will let you know when it becomes available.
This story is a historical to contemporary romance. It follows the lives of two men who met onboard ship in the US Navy during WWII, and who stayed together through life’s ups and downs to the end of the story in 2011. Although the short deadline meant I didn’t have a lot of time for research, several people helped me try to get the details right and I had a great time writing this. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it.
Congrats on the release 🙂
Looking forward to reading it
Exciting! Thanks, I downloaded my copy for reading this weekend! Nice to have a new KH story!
Congrats Kaje!
And I loved it…couldn’t put it down today. Thank you so much for giving us this amazing story 🙂
I’m glad you liked it; I had fun in the writing, and I love sharing the stories in my head with readers who connect with my guys.
The story was amazing, I couldn’t put it down. I loved those guys and enjoyed watching them grow with each other. I admit to tearing up and the end as well because it was so sweet and perfect. Thank you for the great stories and keep them coming. I can’t wait for Homework.
This is an early comment but I just wanted to say “Thank You” for letting me be included in your Hop Against Homophobia. I am afraid I am not a talented m/m fiction writer like yourself but I am an avid reader of it.
I guess I do not fit into any category really since I write non-fiction for an adult gay studio.

But this is a cause I feel strongly about and I wanted to let you know I appreciate the opportunity to be included.
I put a post up at the top of my blog on May 5th and it will remain up until May 19th. http://shadowsterling.blogspot.com/2012/05/straights-and-international-day-against.html
Since I do not write books I will be donating money to PFLAG here in the U.S. in the name of the winner.
Thank you again for the inclusion.
right now, i think it´s like …. 0.1 cm away from Life Lessons.
B.A.R.E.L.Y.
amazing! thank you!
I´d have paid 10$ for it if it was for sale …
Thank you both 🙂 (I’ll make you pay for the next one… well, maybe not the next one because my second free LiAW story will probably be out a bit before Home Work, but eventually.)
