Hot Blood Punk and exciting changes

A few years ago I wrote an erotica novella called Exhibitionist Punk. A year or so later, I decided that the pairing had potential that I hadn't fully explored in the novella. Rather than writing a sequel, I took advantage of one of the coolest features of self-published ebooks - the chance to rewrite an existing story.

Like a Chanel suit, novellas love to be reworked

Exhibitionist Punk (16.5k words) became Hot Blood Punk (41.2k words).

It was a great experience and I enjoyed it a lot, and I know that fans of the original story are going to enjoy the rewrite. It has the same characters and core conflict but is much more fleshed-out. Radically more fleshed out, in fact - Hot Blood Punk is 250% the length of Exhibitionist Punk, and uses just under 35% of the original text. If you're super into numbers, those exact figures are 253.63% and 34.63%. Text from Exhibitionist Punk makes up 13.67% of Hot Blood Punk. That sounds like not much - and it isn't, this is a radical rewrite - but the main characters and key intent of the story is the same. What I'm saying is: It's the same story, only way better.

Another exciting change is the new cover to my novella Knockout Andrew. Same great story, awesome new graphic!

Finally, I'm again participating in the M/M Romance Goodreads Group's free story event. My free novella will be out some time between June and September, so stay tuned!

Synopsis:Kyle fell in love with his best friend at high school and felt sure his friend Andrew felt the same way. But one kiss ended their friendship and, years later, Kyle is still hurting.

Andrew left town to become a professional boxer. Now he's back, hotter than ever, teaching the class Kyle attends and hanging out with their group of friends. It's obvious at once that he's still the man Kyle fell in love with. It's obvious, too, that there's still chemistry between them.

Kyle finds himself falling straight into lust with Andrew. But he has to face the fact that he loves more than just Andrew's body. Andrew's confident and strong, the first man able to face Kyle in a fight – and the first man Kyle hasn't felt the urge to dominate.

Andrew could be everything Kyle has ever wanted, his best friend and lover. But will they be able to succeed where they fell down in the past? How much is Kyle willing to sacrifice for the man he loves – and will they be able to make a relationship work when their lives are so different?
