Book Blurb

At twenty-three, Kel is buff but awkward. He hates going to clubs but loves to play online games. His current boyfriend Jimmy would rather go out and dance the night away, and often makes fun of Kel for wanting to stay home. After a bad fight, Kel catches Jimmy cheating on him and they break up. Later, Kel tries to ignite a spark with a local hunk named Gunnar, but their first kiss ends in disaster and the rest of their date is even worse.

Heartbroken and alone, Kel retreats to the online 3D game world of New Life, a virtual earth where people can meet others with similar interests ... including naughty ones. At one of his favorite fantasy clubs, Kel becomes intensely involved with Darius, a black knight with a penchant for dominance. Their first meetup is slightly kinky online fun, and soon they realize they have more in common than they first thought.

When Darius wants to move things to the next level, Kel isn't so sure. Is he ready to make their online relationship reality?

Book Review

Staying home or going out – that is the question. An active social life can be defined in many different ways, but it usually involves contact with “real people” in the “real world”. Guys like Kel, who like to stay home and/or enjoy online encounters in various games, are not always respected for their choices. In this story, Kel has to deal with an extroverted “boyfriend” – and I use that term loosely since neither of them seems very committed – who decides to be unfaithful, Kel’s desire to meet someone more accepting, and his own lack of accepting who he is and admitting that is the person he wants to present to the outside world.

Kel’s relationship with Jimmy is over pretty quickly, though it takes him a little longer to recognize and admit it. The rest of the story is about him meeting Gunnar, then mysterious black night Darius online. Not surprisingly Kel gets along really well with Darius – as long as they remain online. But when they decide to meet in the real world, things begin to go wrong again. It takes Kel a while to figure out what the problem is and when he does? As the title promises, he reaches “Nerdvana”.

If you like short reads about nerds and their problems finding love, if you want to see two guys with similar interests struggle to figure out whether they are suited as partners or not, and if you’re looking for an entertaining read, then you might like this short story.
