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!

Oh, God, your cell. Don’t answer it, it’s him. You knowit’s him. What, he’s thought about it and all of a sudden you’re right? I don’t think so. “Baby, you there?”


He isn’t crying, is he? Really going all out this time. Sparing no expense, he’s got the tears down pat, the hitch in his breath, the break in his voice when he says your name. “Come back, please come back. I didn’t mean it, I wasn’t thinking, I loveyou.”
