I used to be the same way even got all the hard copies of all of E. Lynn Harris's books but when you move around packing up books and lifting and carrying them is hard work. I am now just buying digital copies of books, movies and music. I do wish some physical copies of books came with a code to download an ibooks or kindle version of them.
I've always wanted to write a book myself. In high school I used to be part of a writing group but after that things just fell apart, though I do have an idea of a book. I've been toying with the idea of sexuality and what constitutes it, is it personality, emotion, physical or everything that makes us up as a person.
The premise of the book in my head is about a gay couple (hot interracial couple Black & Asian) who are happily married living in upstate new york. On a sudden business trip one of couple have to fly to Thailand and there is attacked and almost murdered. He survives but loses his memory and finds himself in a remote village in Thailand. Not knowing anything about himself he can only go by what people tell him and a nurse tells him he looks like someone that had disappeared 10 years ago -her husband. He recovers from his injuries and belives himself to be this person that had disappeared, the nurse even tells him he has a 10 year old son he never met.
On the other side of the world, the husband (Larry for the time being) hasn't heard from his man (Thomas) in quite sometime and learned from the company he never conducted the business he was supposed to do. Larry gets the runaround by the company so he takes a leave of absence from his job to go to Thailand. When he goes there he is in for a huge culture shock.
So my book is a bit about what if we lost everything that makes up the person we are, does that also effect sexuality. I have a lot of twists and turns and lies that I think will keep people interested in reading. Now if i can take the time to put it on paper.
What do you guys think?
