Members Xclay Posted Friday at 03:47 PM Members Posted Friday at 03:47 PM He really did it. It was not just a fantasy. The handsome GP at Lagoa was telling me the truth in July when he said he had finished an autobiographical book that would be sold on Amazon by December. It is only $6 on Kindle (Portuguese only): Amazon link. Not very long but I think it qualifies as a book. I just got to the part where he was raped at 12 and thrown out of the house for marijuana at 14. I have not yet read about his interactions with clients! The prose is somewhat florid, but I'm not going to nitpick. Anyway, I thought some of you might find this unusual product worth checking out for a mere $6. Connordrick 1 Quote

kingsley88 Posted Friday at 07:25 PM Posted Friday at 07:25 PM I'm curious how he became a garoto. Let us know what you think of it. Ages ago I read this book called memoirs of a hoebag about a gay man in NYC talking about all his hookups while he was in his 20s. Xclay 1 Quote
Members Xclay Posted Friday at 09:33 PM Author Members Posted Friday at 09:33 PM Honestly, I was hoping this might generate some sales with this audience, especially since it's so inexpensive! The young man went to a lot of trouble to do this. I'd feel guilty skimming off the juicy parts just for a few posts here. Maybe I should have waited until the English language version comes out in a month or two. chicobalto 1 Quote
Members davet Posted yesterday at 02:21 PM Members Posted yesterday at 02:21 PM Is that him in the picture? When was he active in the sauna scene? I'm surprised I don't recognize him, as he would seem to be someone I'd have noticed. Quote
Members Xclay Posted 20 hours ago Author Members Posted 20 hours ago Yes, that's his photo (a good one). He is indeed reasonably handsome, but he has a certain gravitas (without being arrogant) that sets him apart. Promotions of his book describe him as a former rentboy. However he had not retired as of July when I was with him at Lagoa. My impression is that he slips in once a week, quickly makes a single hook up for 300 (including gozo), then exits immediately. So it's quite possible to have missed him. Quote

Unfortunately writing a good book - or interesting, sexy, revealing, call it what you like - is no guarantee of sales. I have had a book out on amazon for three years on a subject that is definitely interesting for a lot of likely purchasers, and even with a slew of 5-star reviews, it just does not sell on amazon! Marketing is the key, and that is usually neither easy nor cheap, sadly. Xclay 1 Quote
