    New Release in JM Snyder's V Series

    THE V IN VIGILANT (Book Three) by JM Snyder

    The sudden appearance of superpowers might transform most mild-mannered men into egomaniacs with visions of grandeur. Fortunately, Vic Braunson isn’t most men. His powers come from his lover, Matt diLorenzo, and Vic refuses to let the abilities control or change him.

    But even he can’t stop the powers from enhancing who he is.

    The V in Vigilant is the third installment in J. M. Snyder’s V series. When Vic has a rough day at work, his lover Matt puts their telepathic connection to good use, tapping directly into Vic’s needs to provide some relaxing downtime at home. Their sensual verbal massage, however, turns to serious talk, and Matt finally asks Vic the question he’s been wrestling with for the past few months.

    The next day, Vic’s latest superpower almost makes him call in sick. But when a disabled bus passenger is attacked, Vic rushes to the rescue...

    A New Contemporary Gay Romance From JM Snyder

    THE TATTOOED HEART by JM Snyder

    Chris and Lee have been best friends since the fourth grade. Now in their thirties, Chris rents a booth at Tattoo 804 where he makes a living as a tattooist. His own art is hidden in a portfolio behind his desk - his clients always want him to copy a design or character someone else has drawn, and none ever ask for any custom ink. To satisfy his artistic cravings, Chris coerces his friend Lee to stop by after hours for free tattoos in exchange for letting Chris design whatever he wants.

    Lee's body is a shrine to Chris's artwork. Every tattoo he has is a custom creation from his friend, whom Lee has loved for years. Though both are gay, Lee has never had the courage to let Chris know how he feels, and it pains him to watch Chris flit from boyfriend to boyfriend in search of Mr. Right when Lee would gladly claim that title.

    Chris's latest boyfriend, Barry, is in a local band and sounds absolutely wonderful...Lee hates him already. But when all Chris can talk about is Lee's latest tattoo, Barry feels like a third wheel and their budding relationship sours. What will it take for Chris to realize the lover he's looking for has been sitting in his tattoo chair all along?

    Greetings!!!
    I wish to first and formost, thank you for adding and accepting my friendship; I do recieve you in love and appreciation. I want to add that this page was open up as a window to my life and purpose in this world. When I chose a career, I choose one that would be of help to mankind.

    I've been fighting for respect and equality for physically abused children, homosexuals/bisexuals/lesbians and transgenders eversince I was a teenager. I'm a victim of physical, sexual, emotional and mental abuse, and as a result, I not only lived alot of my teen years with low-self esteem, but also a gay person. My life was threaten, I was tongue lashed, insulted and victimized by even members of my own family. I hated my life, but as I became older and knowlegable, I regain strength and self-esteem and also became an advocate for victims like myself; mainly teens.

    I was molested by adults from the age of 3 to 14, I was bullied, I was sent death threats, I was insulted, disrespected, disinfranchised, and the list go on. I wish to remind you that people have satisfactions that they are desperately hungry to feed and it doesnt matter whether it it children, through violence and victimization or bullying, for them to feel superior and feed their greed they attack anyone who is vulnerable and with low self esteem.

    Silence is silence until one speaks out. If we homosexuals and predators remain silent then we give much more power and authority to bullies, predators, and other persons to continue their behavior and target more persons. However, if we speak out now then we can take back what is rightfully ours.

    SUPPORT ME FINANCIALLY, PICK UP A COPY OF THE BOOK WHEN IT RELEASES AROUND THANKSGIVING, AND KEEP IN TOUCH FRIEND. THANKS, DENO

    New Short Contemporary IR Gay Romance From JM Snyder

    MAYBE by JM Snyder

    Josh and DeMar fell in love while working together on the set of Gimme Moor, a stage production with which they toured for six long months. But something happened between them during the tour, turning their idyllic romance into a strained relationship until Josh could no longer take it and he left.

    Weeks after the show has closed, DeMar calls Josh from the airport to pick him up - he's in town and wants to visit, despite the arguments that tore them apart. He wants a second chance, but Josh isn't so sure DeMar's the one to blame for their break-up.

    Can they somehow find what it was they had together in the beginning before they lose it all?

    New Story In JM Snyder's Gay Superhero Series Released Today!

    The sequel to JM Snyder's V: THE V IN VALOR

    The sudden appearance of superpowers might transform most mild-mannered men into egomaniacs with visions of grandeur. Fortunately, Vic Braunson isn't most men. His powers come from his lover, Matt diLorenzo, and Vic refuses to let the abilities control or change him.

    But even he can't stop the powers from enhancing who he is.

    Picking up where The V in Valor left off, The V in Vengeance finds Vic and Matt slowly adjusting to life with a new addition to their little family - Sadie, the mutt Vic rescued from bullying kids. As they settle into a routine, Matt also finds himself dwelling on a more outward way to show the world how he feels for Vic. Though living with a superhero isn't always easy, Matt wouldn't have it any other way.

    Especially when his car is vandalized late one night...

    JM Snyder Takes Us To The Beach In Book 4 Of Her Playing The Field Series SERVED!

    Colby Johnson and his cousin Megan have been practicing all summer for Wildwood's annual Beach Volleyball Tournament. The evening before, Colby drops by the bar where Megan works for a quick drink before heading home and meets sexy Vander "Van" Byron. The instant attraction is mutual, but they share only a few brief hours before Colby has to call it a night.

    The next day, Colby and Megan are on a winning streak, advancing through the tournament ranks with ease. When Colby runs into Van and his twin sister Vallery at the tournament, he isn't surprised - more than half of Wildwood's population, tourist and local alike, are crowded on the beach for the event. But he is shocked to see the numbered vest Van wears, marking him as a competitor.

    A quick look at the schedule shows that if both teams continue their winning streaks, the day will end with Colby and Van facing off through the volleyball net. To up the ante, Van proposes a little wager. Whoever wins their game advances in the tournament, of course, and continues on for a chance to win one of the grand prizes the next day, but whoever loses gets whatever he wants from the winner... in book four of JM Snyder's Playing the Field Series.
