More About the Author

I have been writing gay erotica for some years. I have had many short stories published both in the UK and US. My first published novel was Virgin Sailors but I wrote the Brad trilogy before that, which then became my Brad novel, and the biggest seller so far. These were published by Prowler Press along with Going Down, Riding the Big One, Run Naked Run Free and Skin.

I now have a new publisher, Lethe Press. I have three novels published with them, Brad, Spunky Sailor and Cowboys Can Fly.

Although my novels are highly erotic they will also make you laugh, cry, keep you in suspense and much more.

My new novel Cowboys Can Fly has just been completed and is a YA coming out love story set in the British countryside.

This review is from: Spunky Sailor (Kindle Edition)

Author Ken Smith enlisted in the Royal Navy when he was only 15 and served 9 years. He really knows his way around the frigate, and the home port Pompey (or Portsmouth, SE England), and he relishes plunging the reader into the antics of his 29 mess mates. Sex, straight and gay, is the mainstay of their sense of humor. All these true-to-life details elevate this book to Very Entertaining Novel status. And moreover, Smith's word-movies of central character Sandy's sexual monomania and its repeated, absolutely delicious fulfillment for both parties will have you throbbing, swooning, but smiling all the while. Oh, it's the Happiest Most Perfect Sex on earth! Nothing dirty, depressing, or disappointing.

THE STORY

With a year or two more sea experience than his teenage mates, Sandy and straight Tommy are rattling around in Pompey dives, but the latter gets into a fight. Back on board, Sandy is titillated by virginal Freckles' self-indulgence in the head. At sea in Action Stations drill, conflict is apparent between Tommy and Acting Petty Officer Purdy. Helplessly falling asleep on watch, Sandy vividly dreams of an island beach, a black man, and coconut jelly. Congregated in the mess quarters, men play games, pass sass, tease, and talk sex sex sex of all varieties. Sandy encounters virginal diver Matt in a rubber wet suit, etc. At liberty once again, Sandy goes to the racetrack with porn movie producer Dave, resulting in Sandy's doing three succulent scenes with Jamie the jockey. Camping alone in the woodland of his childhood, Sandy meets someone from the past, Pip, an Army veteran, and things become strained. Later, Sandy has a go with Tristan, the Lord of the Manor's nephew. At sea to join in exercises with the Dutch navy, hated old Purdy mysteriously disappears. There's a bad period for Sandy--maybe it's time to leave the navy. Then, surprisingly...

DEAR KEN SMITH,

Recently on the Gay Fiction forum, you bemoaned the fact that Amazon's sanctions against a Top 50 Reviewer of gay books had deprived you of some praise-filled reviews. So here's my sincere contribution to your clippings. You're offering a Good Novel Indeed to your target audience, and the all-aglow sexcapades are as highlighting as the Admiral's gold braid.
