![GOLDEN BOY. He had it all. He wanted more.
[Pitch:] Born in the near future, Barry Hawkins is the oldest child in a group of families living on a large, idyllic estate. Fearless and precocious, he leads the children, charms the adults, and rules his little world. His future seems as wide as the sky, as bright as the sun.
But life in the strange, cult-like compound where he lives is complex. At its centre is one of the world’s wealthiest men, a Dom who surrounds himself with friends, employees, subs and lovers. Barry witnesses the intricate dynamics between these men – the way they trade power, control, love and surrender – and his curiosity grows. Does he have what it takes to play these games -- and win? As he leaves his childhood behind, Barry must make his own choices about where he fits in the world, what he’s looking for, and who he wants to be.
Childhood leaves an indelible mark on all of us. Whatever we do, wherever we run, the life we live first shapes the person we become.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:a5gjbprhzpa2i5sj5bgkpoop/bafkreifwei7ytfg7y2i26ozp4sllpxkoofhfyaeijv5owglckhgzz4j4hy@jpeg)

#WIPSnips: "Part"
“You boys need to think about your future,” he’d told us, as I suppose parents everywhere tell their kids at some point. It was the next part that was unique to us. “Tiran isn’t going to support you indefinitely. He’s not leaving you anything in his will.”

Also I bought it on tape. Years later, it got stolen (along with a rare Yello demo tape, boo) when my car was broken into at Barnet tube station, so I rebought it on CD.

Question for writers and readers: If a story is told in 1P POV, is the blurb better in 1st or 3rd?
In trad publishing I think it would always be 3rd but in indie genre fiction like MM romance, would a 1P blurb work better for a 1P narrative?

WIPSnips: Easy
I started to see that our proximity to Tiran would always create this strange sort of dance. Right now, he made our lives easy and comfortable, made me feel like anything was possible – but I couldn’t forget we were dependent on a largesse that could disappear at any time.

Then there’s a series of freeze-frame images – the flattened lawn beneath me, the high bold blue sky above, Tiran’s soft red polo shirt as I rolled under him; the broken blades of grass releasing their fragrance as I skidded across the ground, landing finally with Tiran on top of me.

#WIPSnips : "sell"
I spent the next couple of days pondering how to proceed. It’s not that I had any doubts about my ability to deliver what I’d promised, but I needed to decide how to sell it. After a bit of consideration, I brought Tom into my confidence.
