A novel is a love affair, with its ups and downs, but a short story can sometimes be nothing more than a one night stand, a brief date, or a quick kiss in the dark.Flashed!is a collection of 36 very short, "flash fiction" stories and a handful of love poems by J.M. Snyder, best-selling author of gay erotic romance. Each vignette is a glimpse into the lives and loves of very different couples. Some erotic, some bittersweet, every story in this collection celebrates a passion found only between two men. From drag queens to college hoops players, veterans to rockstars, one time lovers to lifelong companions, men at work to men in tights, there's a little something for everyone in this collection. Some of these stories were once posted to the author's blog or appeared online elsewhere, but fans will find many new stories -- and characters -- to love once they've beenFlashed!

Flashed!

I haven’t heard from you in weeks now. There’s been nothing since that first letter. I keep telling myself I’ve frightened you with my rambling replies, crammed full of emotion and ink that just overflowed from the pen and spilled all over the paper, but I couldn’t contain it. I couldn’t notsay everything I did, because I’ve kept it inside for way too long, and maybe you don’t know how to respond to it.


So yeah, Phoenix. A half hour’s flight and I’ll tell you myself. Face to face, and you won’t be able to just fold me away, tuck me in the back of a day planner and forget about answering.
