John Battle

This is my writing site

For the past twenty years, I have written fiction stories. My characters are mostly deeply in love, and they are full of respect and joy and the love of life. They are gay—they can tell us how to live just as well as anyone can.

My other writing is a blog.

This is the hardcover of my collected fiction; it contains eight stories, some long, some short. They are mostly male/male love stories that pay a lot of attention to places, including deep connections to nature, family, and friends.

Below is my amazon book site. The blue one, pictured above, is good for fourteen-year-olds and up. The black one is Clem Battle’s family history, with many, many pictures. Don’t read the red one unless you are a mature gay man—it contains erotic passages that will blow your mind: It blows my mind, and I wrote it.

My Blog Writing

My blogs are listed at the very bottom of this page.

How to write

Master surface mechanics

San Francisco

I lived five years there

Japan

I taught English Conversation at corporations and fell in love with a nice guy—we still vacation together every two years.

Political Analysis

May small-minded fascists rot in hell—oops! Did I say that?

Visual Arts

I was high school photographer for two years. I studied graphic design before it was called that: We said Commercial Art.

Movie Reviews

I see many movies on a particular streaming service: If the plot line works, I watch it even if the rest is mediocre.

My Bio

I live in Paris, Michigan. I visited Paris, France in 2003 with a group of Japanese friends. I loved it. Our family was two parents and thirteen children. Enough said, right? It was a microcosm of society; everything happened. We went to church every Sunday; it was a small country church, a mile from our home. We lived and love and laughed—read my stuff; you will get the picture.
