James K Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 There are quite a few stories recycled in the recommended list, but I would like to ask if anyone has a story they would recommend which is not about children, teenagers, or high school. I find it difficult to seek out gay themed stories that are adult. I am open to any genre, thriller, mystery, drama, whatever, but not the trials and tribulations of teens: abused teens, coming out teens, bullied teens, adopted teens, etc. etc. 😊 Link to comment
R.J. Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 I would recommend anything by Rick Beck here at AD. Though the characters sometimes start out in highschool, majority of my memory of his stories seems to be in the character's adulthood. Outside the Foul Lines, I believe, started out in college. Mark Peters' stories also, I believe, are almost all adults. I read these stories years ago so I don't really have perfect memory of them. Link to comment
Nigel Gordon Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 I would definitely recommend Outside the Foul Lines by Rick Beck. Link to comment

James K Posted August 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 2 hours ago, R.J. said: Mark Peters' stories From what I read of the first book and the other book titles, I don't think these stories are about adults. Rick Beck, I'll take a look, but sports stories aren't my thing and neither are long stories or series. I don't like reading stories that are overly long, my preference is from 20k to 80k, after that it's like the author didn't know how to stop or wrote a never ending soap opera. A story needs a beginning, middle, and end. Young adults are fine, like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, great book, and there are some good teen stories, only there are too many, and I'm looking for something fresh. An author who can write a thriller or a mystery. They aren't the sort of books you can write without planning. I don't think you can adopt the "seat of the pants" method for thrillers and mysteries! There are way too many stories where the author keeps writing and writing and writing, endless climaxes and cliff hangers, but... is there any resolution? Journey through life stories bump into each other, trying for something, but what? Link to comment

Mardi Gras Murders by Mark Peters is definitely adult and a detective story, though I'm not sure it is in his page here. I remember reading it in his own website 10 years ago which seems to have gone offline now. Link to comment

Cole Parker Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 I've always loved Rick Beck's The Farm Hand. You cannot go wrong with that one. Believe me. Link to comment
