A warm welcome to author Brandon Witt joining us today to talk about his new release “Son of Money”.
Brandon shares his tought about his book an exclusive excerpt and also brought along a giveaway for our readers!
Welcome Brandon 🙂
Son of Money entered the world four days ago. It’s getting mixed reactions, like I figured it would. I’m extremely proud of this book. I wanted to play around with different themes and story lines, and very different characters than any I’ve written before. The novel achieved what I hoped. It’s a very unusual type of story for me. If you’re a consistent reader of mine, be warned that you won’t find my typical in Son of Money, but I do hope you’ll come along for a new ride. The story is full of over-the-top, soap-opera-light drama. It follows Randall, who has rejected his family’s fortune to carve his own path. Having barely reconnected with his long-lost first love, some of his secrets begin to spill out, in a not-so-private way. In this section (which is kind of a spoiler, but kind of not, as the reader already knows what is about to be revealed), Randall and Noah are out to breakfast and Randall’s sister-in-law call him and tells him to get on-line and read an article on a gossip site. While still on the phone with her, Randall borrows Noah’s phone and pulls up the site.
Here’s a little taste of what you’re in for!
And then the article showed up over the black-and-pink background. My face, the new headshot my agent had demanded, was front and center. “Kayla, what even is this? I’ve never heard of….” The headline came into focus.
I almost fainted, which I’d never done in my life. I had to read the headline four or five times to believe it. To even make sense of the letters over Kayla’s gush of words and the pounding of blood in my ears.
Randall Morgan, Youngest Son of the Morgan Empire, Revealed as a Prostitute
“I gotta go.”
Kayla’s frantic voice sounded as I lowered my phone and hit End, cutting her off.
She called back instantly. I didn’t answer. “Randall?” I glanced at Noah. I’d forgotten he was there. Everything went cold. “Randall, what’s wrong?”
My first instinct was to chuck his phone across the restaurant. Smash it into the wall so he couldn’t see the article.
Feeling my eyes sting, instead I reached across the table to hand him the phone. Then watched as his eyes grew large as he read.
Randall Morgan, Youngest Son of the Morgan Empire, Revealed as a Prostitute
Randall Morgan, the pretty face and the youngest son in the Morgan Empire, probably isn’t someone you’ve heard of. But that’s all about to change. Randall Morgan is the son of Vincent Morgan, a bigwig of the Microsoft Corporation. His older brother, Dustin Morgan, who has quickly worked his way up the Amazon ladder, is another moneymaker in his own right. The Morgans are well-known for their position as in the Seattle elite.
Labeling himself the black sheep of the family, Randall Morgan chose a career as a moderately successful photographer, and has gradually become more well-known in the Seattle art scene. It seems family money and artistic endeavors haven’t satisfied Randall Morgan’s lust for life, or at least for things that aren’t so vanilla. A source, who requested to stay anonymous, confirmed Randall Morgan moonlights as a prostitute, using his massage business to attract gay clientele.
Not only does Randall use massage as a cover for prostitution, he also uses his photography business. It seems he lends more than a helping hand in his photography sessions. The source, who is an ex-client, also stated Randall has a hot temper and is often verbally abusive to the men who pay for his services. Looks like the millions of daddy’s dollars aren’t able to keep up with Randall’s expensive tastes, and he needed to take things into his own hands. Or maybe Randall, as our source pointed out, can’t have his fetishes met by going on dates like everyone else. For all you gay men out there looking for an easy, dirty time, make sure you give Randall a call soon. It looks like his prices are about to soar.
Son of Money—Blurb
Randall Morgan, youngest son of one of Seattle’s wealthiest families, rejected his family’s money to live free of their control and pursue his career as a photographer. To make ends meet, Randall does erotic photography and massage—a secret he keeps from his family so he can remain a part of his young niece’s life. But the price of that relationship is high, and Randall is slipping under his family’s thumb.
Noah Carroll is the spokesperson for the Seattle Humane Society, and the city holds a special place in his heart. When fate intervenes during a pet adoption at the humane society, Noah finds himself face to face with his first love—Randall.
While Noah and Randall are not the teenagers they once were, the flame of a first kiss long ago draws them together. Their romance is just beginning to grow, but someone is out to destroy Randall and expose all he keeps hidden.
When secrets and rumors thrust Randall into the public eye, his relationship with Noah isn’t the only thing that comes under threat.

Brandon Witt’s outlook on life is greatly impacted by his first eighteen years of growing up gay in a small town in the Ozarks, as well as fifteen years as a counselor and special education teacher for students with severe emotional disabilities. Add to that his obsession with corgis and mermaids, then factor in an unhealthy love affair with cheeseburgers, and you realize that with all those issues, he’s got plenty to write about….
