WORKING WITH SOUL

Posted by Gary Martine on Saturday, July 27, 2019, In : New Books 
I've been consulting these last three weeks almost daily with my friend and co-author A. G. Hayes regarding the sequel to his newest book, 68 VIA CONDOTTI: BOOK ONE - ETERNITY LTD (Savant 2019), the third in his "Kate Keenan Special Assignment" series, regarding the possibility and nature of the "soul" of highly intelligent artificially intelligent robots. In the first book of three, the revealing of a self-programming, highly intelligent, human-appearing robot causes the Vatican, whose missi...

THE REAL SHARK TANK

Posted by Gary Martine on Monday, December 18, 2017, In : New Books 
I rarely watch television, greatly preferring books and their thought-richness to in-my-face entertainment, but the other day while reading an advance copy of Daniel Bradford's outstanding western, BO HENRY AT THREE FORKS (Savant, in press), I noticed out of the corner of my eye ABC's  "The Shark Tank." Humans posing as monetary sharks. The epitome of economic Trumpism, but, in fact, nothing at all like real sharks. 



We have plenty of real sharks in Hawaii: sand, white tip, black tip, even tig...

SHOULD KOSKI AND FALK DANCE?

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, December 15, 2017, In : New Books 
Being an avid amateur competitive dancer and having co-authored QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) with A. G. Hayes, I've been discussing with A. G. a sequel adventure I'm calling "The Bridge at Vittorio Veneto." In it, Koski and Falk would each be compelled to face their pasts that have continued to get in the way of their developing relationship. What I'd like to do is to end it with an intimate dance. 


It all started when I received a new competition tail suit. I'm somewhat short in stature for a ...

WHAT HAPPENS TO BOOK HEROS AFTER AN ADVENTURE?

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, August 14, 2016, In : New Books 
Ever wonder what happens to the protagonist-hero's after their book is published? I have. A. G. Hayes and I have been talking about writing a sequel to QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) dealing with what happens to Koski and Falk immediately after the adventure. They are, after all, closer than ever before. Both at the same time are concerned that their work could rob them of their partner at any time, and Falk is still recovering from a gunshot wound. Time, perhaps, for a "vacation." A little time...

QUANTUM DEATH APPROACHES

Posted by Gary Martine on Tuesday, February 23, 2016, In : New Books 
When A. G. Hayes asked me to work with him on his new political-techno thriller, QUANTUM DEATH, I ran to my computer and immediately began my contributions. It was an easy write: Everything flowed like water down a waterfall, as if Koski and Falk were talking directly to me about their adventure. Koski in particular talked directly to my heart. 




Where in the world could something as sinister as the the kvantovaya mashina smerti -- the 'Quantum Death Machine' -- come from you might ask? And is ...

QUANTUM DEATH AWAITS KOSKI AND FALK

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, February 12, 2016, In : New Books 
I'm so pleased to announce that Raymond Gaynor has just completed a manuscript entitled QUANTUM DEATH with A. G. Hayes for the fifth in his popular Koski and Falk series. It was a joy writing this politico-techno-thriller with multi-award-winning author A. G. Hayes, one I will long cherish. The manuscript was immediately picked up by Savant Books and Publications and has an anticipated release date of mid-2016. 

This is my first decidedly non-gay work, Koski and Falk being a legendary female-m...

KINGSLEY AND I RELOADED

It's been a long time coming, but the third book of the Kingsley & I series, KINGSLEY AND I RELOADED is now available for purchase worldwide.

KINGSLEY AND I RELOADED follows gay Kingsley and his hesitantly bisexual lover, I, as they continue in their erratic journey towards a lasting relationship. Will I finally transition into Kingsley's ...

"Total Meltdown" Nears Release

Posted by Gary Martine on Saturday, August 29, 2009, In : New Books 
OK - it's all my fault!  I've been remiss in sitting down before my trusty MacBook and going onto the internet to attend to my blogging.  But I promise you, it's been for a good reason:  I've been busy emailing co-author William Maltese about when Wildside/Borgo will be releasing our m/m erotic political thriller, TOTAL MELTDOWN, only to find that Wildside/Borgo claims it is nearing immanent release!  Hopefully we'll hear something this week or next, and we can all run down to our nearest boo...

Time Out

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, July 19, 2009, In : New Books 
I just got back to the Bay area in time for the debut of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."  I suspect you're going to tell me that HP isn't gay, it's a straight as an arrow children's story.  And as for erotic, well, I'm sure its a matter of taste as to whether you find werewolves, evil and all things vaguely Wiccan erotic.  It's the last third of m/m erotic romance, I'm talking of. Yeah, the romance part. That, HP has aplenty in my opinion. What's interesting to me is its context.

Back on Track

Posted by Gary Martine on Thursday, July 16, 2009, In : New Books 
It's great to be back in San Francsico and the good ole' USA. The warm sun and cool breezes here in the Bay Area are unlike anywhere I've been in the world. I couldn't help but drive over the inviting Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County and steal a couple recouperatiive hours at the ocean at Point Reyes National Seashore. The golden fields passing by on both sides of my open-air MGB reminded me of the words of Katerine Lee Bates in "America the Beautiful" - "O beautiful for spacious skies, For...

On The Way Home...

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, July 12, 2009, In : New Books 
My sojourn in the world of things feudal Japanese having come to an end, I'm now flying high over the Pacific on my way to my beloved San Francisco with a short stop in Honolulu, for a last Mai Tai, of course.  My otherwise mundane trip (compared to "LOST") livened up briefly when I joined a Sophia's m/m erotic romance author's discussion at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sophia_titheniel/. Fun and even more interesting when the lovely passenger sitting next to me looked over onto the screen o...

Closer to The Edge of Madness

Posted by Gary Martine on Saturday, July 4, 2009, In : New Books 
There's something about walking a thousand year-old, tree-lined street of feudal Kyoto in the afternoon, then grabbing a bullet train to end the day at 3 a.m. in the glittering neon-crusted night streets of modern Tokyo that is so mind-boggling as to drive one to madness. Which reminds me of "The Edge of Madness" book I'm working on even now as I travel throughout Japan trying to catch a whiff of its flavor, over 800 years ago around the mid-1200's BCE.

Picking up where "Total Meltdown" (Wild...

The Edge of Madness

Posted by Gary Martine on Tuesday, June 30, 2009, In : New Books 
OK, enough of that Hawaiiana stuff - Aloha to Paradise, I'm off to Japan to check out sword manufacturing in the 1200's and meet with some master sword makers (that after visiting Seville a while back to check out ancient and modern Spanish sword manufacturing).  Did you know I fenced in college?  I competed in both foil and epee, later participating in saber till I got tired of the welt marks - our version of warrior tatoos.  I'm also looking forward to visiting some of the likely historical...

Coffee Talk Romance GLBT Discussion

Posted by Gary Martine on Saturday, June 6, 2009, In : New Books 
Today was Coffee Talk Romance GLBT Discussion day, and I enjoyed posting excerpts from "Kingsley & I" and my newest release, "Kingsley & I Together."  It was a fun discussion, and I hope you will visit and look over the interesting information that was teased from me.  I also talked about "Total Meltdown" a bit, and some more about what I'm doing right now in Hawaii researching my next work tentatively entitled "The Sword of Kamehameha." 

This afternoon I'm off to look for the "Birthing Stone...

Love Affair

Posted by Gary Martine on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, In : New Books 
A month or so ago, when I was reflecting on my XXXX HOT m/m erotic romance political thriller manuscript entitled Total Meltdown that I had just completed, a sudden thought occurred to me:  I had asked fellow writer William Maltese to write a short cover blurb for another work I had just completed, Kingsley & I Together, and being an admirer of his, sent him the manuscript to read.  One thing led to another and soon William at my invitation had his sleeves rolled up and was licking the sharp ...

The Devil in the Deep Blue Sea

Posted by Gary Martine on Monday, June 1, 2009, In : New Books 
Yes, well, starting with a title like that, what can I possibly say that would maintain the drama (thump, thump, thump - that's my and I hope your heartbeat pulsing anxiously and expectantly).  Actually I spent all morning following up on yesterday's trip to Kaimana Beach in Waikiki.  That's across the street from Queen Kapiolani Park.  Instead of working on "The Sword of Kamehameha" yesterday after blogging like I planned, I got engrossed in reading Mark Twain's "Roughing It," and his journa...
