Greetings to all!

If you are reading this, then welcome! I got such a wonderful response from my first two submissions to Nifty that I decided it would be easier to have a central area to update when I have new stories available. So check back regularly for posts on stories I have in the works and what has recently been completed!

First, I did want to talk about myself a little. Randy Zak is a pen name. I sadly do not feel comfortable posting stories under my given name, for concern of how it might be taken if my hobby were discovered by my employer or others. It truly does bother me that I have to think that way, but unfortunately I do.

The reason I'm so uneasy about being traced is for many things. Perhaps most of all, because I am a female. I know that might be a surprise to some - and even too much of a surprise for a few - and for that I apologize. I had debated on whether to say anything or not, but I felt that I just could not keep that information a secret. I hope it will not color your opinion of me or my writing. While I am female, I often tell people I was a gay man in a former life.. And truly, sometimes it feels like it! I strive in all my stories to just tell a good romance, with a little loving for spice. I hope that my gender will not be an issue and I hope you will continue to enjoy these and future stories!


At this time, I have two stories posted to Nifty: Set Fire To The Rain and I Left My Heart In Cowboy Country. Both of these have gotten some very wonderful comments from you all and I cannot begin to express how much it means to me. I am glad to have written something that others have enjoyed, and will strive to create more stories for you!

I have upwards of 20 stories in the works right now. Sadly, I'm pretty limited in my writing at the moment due to being down a computer while it is being repaired. I am using my older laptop and it just does not have the speed for my patience level. All my files have been backed up, so I haven't lost any of my writing, but it is much more difficult to work on this one. But, muses strike in funny ways, so who knows what might happen!

Once again, I thank you all for your kind words and comments on my stories. It does mean a lot to me to hear your opinions. I will occasionally post to this blog with questions about story ideas or characters if I need a little outside input. I hope you will all be able to act as my sounding board.

Until next time!
With much love,
Randy
