Thanks for stopping in today!

What can you tell us about your current

work in progress?

Im working on A Harem Boys Saga - book IV Turpitude; a

memoir by Young. Its a lengthy process since there are a lot of
my young life experiences to cramp into each volume. Each book
is approximately 3 months of my life, spend in service at a total of
7 different Arab Household harems.
For readers who dont know what A Harem Boys Saga is about,
here is a synopsis:
A Harem Boys Saga Book I Initiation; a memoir by
Young.
This provocative story is about a young man who was initiated
into a clandestine sexual society. He was spirited to the Middle
East, from his UK boarding school. He attended the Bahriji School
(Oasis,) in The United Arab Emirates in preparation for serving in
Harems for the wealthy and elite.
It is also a love story between the young man and his Valet who
served as his chaperone and mentor during the boys Harem
service.
Authors note:
I had a privileged and unique upbringing in Malaysia. Following in
my brothers' footsteps, I was sent to an exclusive boarding school
in England. It is there that I was inducted into a clandestine
organization, E.R.O.S. The Enlightened Royal Oracle Society. For
four years, unbeknown to my family, I was willingly and happily
part of a Harem.
My story has been kept under wraps for close to 45 years. The
correct moment has arrived for me to make known my unique
education.
There are 7 books to this series.

Whats your primary method of writing? Do you brainstorm, work from an

outline, or just jot down whatever comes to mind?

Writing a memoir or an autobiography is vastly different from

writing a fictional novel. Im writing about events, situations and
emotional feelings that had happened, of remembrance of things
past. My outline, inspirations come from an abundance of old
photographs, journals/diaries I had kept during the various
periods of my life.
Although in the books, Ive changed the names and places to
protect myself and those involved, the experiences and events
that happened are true. The creative part of my writing are in the
dialogue throughout the books. Although I am able to remember
the overall gist of what was said, I had to make up the dialogue
since its been over 40 odd years since these events/situations
occurred.

Who inspired you to get into writing as a profession?

An inner calling told me to document my unique education. Now,

is the correct moment to tell my story. Other factors that
influenced me to write are:

Provide Tolerance to Sissy Boys by understanding

parents/peers and the community.
Anderson Cooper 360 documentary on the devastating
treatment of effeminate boys influence me to tell my
story.

Bullying can be Avoided through Big Brother/Big Sister

volunteer programs in school or outside school system.
Older students acting as mentors to younger students.

Gay Adolescent Tolerance parents/child/siblings

relationship issues.
Support/mentorship program to all parties involved to
foster understanding and acceptance of Gay kids.

Provide an Alternative Educational System;

Understanding Big Brother/adolescent mentorship
programs in schools, BB as protector to keep younger kids
from being bullied.

Human Relationship Building Program;

Between parents/teachers and young students on sexual
topics/issues, especially when adolescent are just
discovering their sexuality. They can be guided on a
healthy and honest sexual journey instead of dont ask,
dont tell hide it behind the closet policy.

What has been the biggest challenge for you as a writer?

Staying focus to write daily especially writing a 7 volume epic

saga of my adolescent teenage life. I had considered changing
the book main title to The Chronicles of A Harem Boy instead
of A Harem Boys Saga but my literary agent advised me not to.

Lets go silly for a moment if you could be any character from a TV

series, who would it be and why?

I love the BBC TV miniseries, Downton Abbey. I will like to Lady

Mary. She is elegant, cool, sophisticated, worldly and stylish. Not
to say Im not all of the above but I miss the wealth I was inducted
into during my young years.

Do you have a particular favorite spot to write? How about a favorite food
or drink to stoke the ingenuity?

I move between my writing desk in my workroom and the lanai

(balcony). It is very pleasant to sit outdoors to write, especially
when living in Hawaii. The winters here (like now) are very
temperate and cool. Perfect place to write and be surrounded by
nature.

What sort of advice can you give to those who are just getting into this
field?

Stay focus. My modus operandi: the 3Ps: Perseverance,

Persistence & Patience.
