He has a great storyline going, or, rather, a dozen story threads, in his Trials and Tribulations. But it would appear he's vanished. Sort of like being in the theatre, seeing the film break and melt, and getting a refund at the door. Blecchh!

Billy Bratii is now on www.gayauthors.org and writing as Billy Martin.  Chapter 21 on gayauthors.org ends at exactly where chapter 17 ends on IOmFATS. There are 26 chapters on gayauthors.org, and he says in the first chapter of the new story starting on GayAuthors.org called "The Field of Love" that he has writer's block on T&T, but that characters from T&T will show up in TFOL.  He is hoping writing on TFOL will break the block on T&T.

The URLs are as follows, then scroll down to get to the specific chapters on Gay Authors (GA):

http://www.gayauthors.org/story/billy-martin/trialsandtribul ations

and

http://www.gayauthors.org/story/billy-martin/thefieldoflove


Hopes this helps.

That site makes it remarkably hard to contact an author! I can't see how to do so at all. Any thoughts on how?

He and I are in contact. He will be back here. He has to overcome some inner turmoil that is causing him a roadblock before he does.

Thanks so very much, Bisexualguy and Timmy. I'm sorry to learn of his turmoil, but know he'll find a friendly reception for him here when he returns.

I see the messages about Billy, but they date back to early 2015 or before.  I loved his story, "Trials and Tribulations", but nearly 10 years later and I haven't see anything new.

--Billy Martin finally finished "Trials and Tribulations."  He also wrote eight chapters of "The Field of Love."  Both stories can be found on three sites -- gayauthors dot com  and  storylover dot us  and  CastleRoland dot net  -- and on rare times I have seen him online at Gay Authors.  When I am signed in at GA I can also see who else is online at GA.   On CastleRoland, he writes under the single name "Billy".

Thank you for that information.  I have started picking up where it ended in 2013.  I wouldn't have been able to know without your reply.

Thanks again.
