Moments in Time: It is never too late to come out is BACK ONLINE

After a four day delay politely discussing WHY my book was blocked on amazon, for what content violation exactly, I was eventually passed up the ranks from standard form e-mails to real people who deal with this phenomenon on a daily basis.

I had done the work right, step by step, without spamming my groups, as some authors are doing. A publisher I was becoming. When BAM! Amazon blocked the book from the bookshelves. All the hard work, my ONE raving five star review, all discarded in a virtual bin.

Amazon only blocked the book because it was reported by three people as 'contains pornographic content.' Automatic delete. Now, I have read some pretty HOT and steamy novels by Kindle Alexander, and several other writers with sex scenes way, way hotter and more descriptive than I could ever even hope to articulate, butt alas, after 1,300 downloads in 8 hours of being free, I'd say that was pretty dang good marketing, and I had created an interest in the book.

BUT, Amazon agreed to bring my one and only five star review to the new ASIN, which makes me do my *HAPPY DANCE* and jump for joy.

The book is now back online, and available free starting Friday 10/31 for five days.

This is a re-write of the original book, Moments in Time: It is never too late to come out. It is chock filled with rainbows, butterflies, unicorns and daisies. Should you endure the entire book, and are as in love with the story as most of the five star reviewers were in the first week of its release, then that means I salvaged the most important part of the storyline.

But… Even in Fifty Shades of Gray, there were no disclaimers or warnings of sexual content. And certainly if I knew the author was going to write about and articulate vicious sexual scenes and rape, I would not have bought the book. But I read it, and closed my eyes through the scary parts. But if that’s what sells books, and that’s how you make a TV series or a movie, then who would ever buy my book, especially being a new author. At least I warn the reader before buying.

We all know sex sells, but why read a book with this disclaimer if you’re not interested in the content, to the point of reporting it as pornography. I should write a book about this experience. I bet it sells, and will offend some people too. Back to our book about butterflies, rainbows and daisies:

Life happens. It is how we deal with our daily life challenges that define us as the people we are, and the people we will become. Moments in Time represents an evolution of explosive sexual discovery, from the earliest childhood memories though adulthood.

Each chapter is a detailed chronological examination of brief moments in time that have shaped and developed the character, culminating into a circular and repeating series of events revolving around sexual discovery, the search for love, and the loss associated with love, and allowing yourself to deviate from the path set before us.

This is not your ordinary fictional gay romance novel. It is the first in a series intended to allow you to reflect on the characters development, and potentially relate to the characters in each chapter by briefly experiencing these moments in time personally. You will find graphically intense sexual scenes in each chapter. Please note the warning that this book does graphically explore gay male sexual encounters. It is intended for a mature adult audience, and not intended for minors.

You can determine for yourself, as you read each chapter, which character you relate to the most, and how they affect you, on more than an entertainment opportunity level. I can promise you entertainment, based on relevance. It is the authors intention to extend an invitation to each reader to share their opinion on http://adamstevensshouts.blogspot.com/ regarding which characters they would like to see featured in future stories at the conclusion of the Moments in Time series.

I hope you enjoy Moments in Time: It is never too late to come out. Again.
