I thought I was dead and in another dimension, so it’s good to know I was wrong! I’ve read all the books several times. So if the Martin books are new, I’m on them! Hope all has been fine with you!

Hey Darragh
I’m very glad you’re not dead. I agree your Martin stories are amazing. I think my happiest reading experience has been reading your quartet. Thanks so much for letting me into Martin and Henry’s world.
Warmest wishes

PS. I’m not dead either! Looking forward to more of your books please!

In reply to Susan. Nothing for purchase yet! But I am close to putting something out.

I love that the story mirrors aspects of your own life. I did wonder when I wrote a sort of oddball historical fantasy/romance if people might recognize their own feelings and needs in these people I’ve…made manifest, I suppose, so it does make me happy to know this is the case. In all the important ways, the characters are very real to me, so to know they (or their experiences) might resonate with other people too is just the best gift.

Jesse is always a part of GQ! Jesse’s story runs parallel with Henry’s. I know what happens to Henry and Martin all their lives, and I’ll find a way to tell that. I really want to tell Tom’s story, which diverges from all the others fairly early on. I have only recently really started using Patreon as a patron and I’m just not sure it’s for me as a creator. As others have suggested, it might just be better to figure out a way to sell books directly from this website. I think it’s probably quite simple to do at this point–it’s only that I haven’t done it before that makes it seem daunting.

Dear Ms. Darrah - Any chance of a GQ story for purchase? I'd love to give myself a Christmas present (I know what I like)

I don’t care if you have to learn smoke signals to keep the GQ series alive! This series has so much life and truth in its characters that they deserve to have their stories continued. I don’t know about anyone else, but not too many stories hit me right in the heart. I’m not saying the plot is the same, but I identify so much with the joy/despair moments between Henry and Martin. Let’s just say that in a time long, long ago, I had that magic–no slaves involved, though! Years later, it’s that incredible part of my life that has never faded. I’m re-reading the series and can’t believe how fresh it still is. It still touches my heart and reaffirms my own story. As for Patreon, I only know that my son uses it rather successfully, for video game-type animation. Also, the cover art is not (in my opinion) going to raise or lower the interest. Perhaps the Noveau typestyle you used could make a very effective cover design. (Spoken from the standpoint of a long career in Graphic Design…) Would Jesse be a spin-off, or would he remain a part of GQ? Either way, he IS a fascinating character.

I will take your stories anyway you can get them to us. I would love to just download them from your website. That way you get all the $. After you make your first million you can go back and add any artwork you want.

Yay! I love hearing that anyone wants more! The Jesse stories I’m working on definitely include Martin’s present :)

I’d like to do more with Charles & Simon. I don’t always know very much about Henry’s friends/classmates, but I know a lot about Charles, so of course I want to share it. But a Charles story will have to wait for a few others to be written first.
