    About this ebook

    Jack Morris simply needs to keep the lights on. That's why he starts to write erotica online. After his boyfriend of seven years leaves him alone in a crappy apartment and with limited income, it seems like the best way to pass his time and soothe his aching heart. Everything works out well enough until writer's block happens. Then Jack simply doesn't know what to do next.

    A tour at a local bookstore for inspiration yields him an avid reader named John. Though John's never read any of Jack's material before, he's definitely more than ready to be of help for some creative problem solving, and maybe, some practical experience, too.

      After leaving his boyfriend of seven years, Carl, he moved into a shitty one-bedroom across town. It was the only place he could afford without his business-oriented boyfriend’s five-digit paycheck every month. His was barely three. He didn’t mind his poverty, at first. It seemed rustic. It seemed like
