An Author Revealed

18be0900b-8531-49e5-b87f-fece33a37e4f copy

You know often I am asked, “Who are you really?” As if my identity is a secret. I don’t share my image because it doesn’t relate to my books.  I write about love, sex, and strong connections between men.  Recently I had someone question whether I was actually a woman….I doubt this is a unique situation in regard to authors.  So, who am I?  I write these fabulous books, these beautiful characters.  I love my readers and their support. They make me a better author, a better person, and provide infinite inspiration.  Who questioned my person? Well, let’s just say he was someone with a tear, and he believed I was not the person I am.  This woman you see is Draven unmasked.  Oh, and a hot man below because who doesn’t love those?! Plus for the readers who love Club Syn (and all my other wicked readers).  You’ll meet this man.   This is a future character I’m working with.  He is beautiful, flawed, and captivating. mg_0125_by_beepictures-d5wwz40

Sexy Saturday at Club Syn

“Do you think these jeans make my ass look too big?” Ari asked. He looked over at his roommate Spencer who stood frozen in the kitchen, his hand cradling a cup of coffee. A staple for the college student who was constantly doing homework late into the night. He learned early on that Spencer’s hours weren’t much different than those of a party boy, but more boring.

“Uh…”

Ari tried to glanced over his shoulder, but nearly fell backwards. “Well?”

“I think if they were any tighter you would be on the floor in need of CPR. How does that not hurt your…” A pink blush colored Spencer’s cheeks when he gestured below Ari’s waist. “You know.”

“My cock? My slong? My dick?” Ari grinned, when Spencer reddened further. Ari’s homegrown Iowa roommate was shy as could be and adorable to boot. If he weren’t shagging one of the college professors Ari still might be trying to sneak his way into those well worn levis. “Well, sugar, the trick is all in the way you tuck your package. You don’t want any damage done if you get hard when you see Mr. Right or Mr. Right now. A zipper imprint is not sexy.”

Spencer shook his head. “You’re insane.”

“I’m determined.”

Sexy Saturday at Firehouse Six

“I’ll leave in the morning. The list of people who won’t kill me for calling them for a ride is much longer when the sun comes up. I can meet them somewhere nearby”

Cole scooted a little closer, his small hand settled on Gavin’s thigh, and his voice dropped to a silky low tempting rasp. “Pretty, please.”

To his shock Gavin’s cock jerked in his jeans. He’d never been the focus of Cole’s seductive charms. He didn’t like it. Especially when he felt like Cole was manipulating him. “Don’t do that.”

“What?”

“Be flirty with me to get your way.” Gavin kept one hand on the steering wheel, but removed Cole’s from his thigh.

“You can stay at my place, on the couch.” Without casting one more look Cole’s way Gavin chanted in his head, ‘Need to get home to sleep. Need to get home to sleep. Need to get home to sleep.’

Nothing good ever happens after two am.

Sexy Saturday Snippet

pizap-com14828742275211

         Brayden shoved Croix against the wall. Slamming into him with a bruising kiss, while holding him captive with his hands threaded through Croix’s hair. He ground against Croix trying to get as close as he could with their clothes still on. The delicious cup and squeeze of Croix’s hands on his ass had him moaning. Had his body drawn tight on the edge too soon, just a little more…

The Closer I Get

pizap-com14835761765751

The Closer I Get is available Now!!

         Croix Matthews has been hot for his best friend Brayden O’Conner since the moment he rescued the homeless boy from the street as a teen. Since everyone in his world, including Brayden, thinks he’s straight he’s had no luck with his timid attempts at letting his friend know he’d like a shot at being more, but with International super model Brayden finally boyfriend free the time to go full throttle is now.
Brayden hears his friend’s plea for assistance and assumes his straight bestie needs help with the ladies. Although he all but chokes on the task he’d do anything for the man who saved his life. If that means not investigating the meaning behind the shy come hither looks Croix is always throwing at him, so be it.
The closer they get to each other the more they can see how large the obstacles are. Will they stand strong together or will they let themselves be torn further apart?

Excerpt

With an evil little chuckle, he glanced at Croix then back at a the row of bottles ranging from scotch, tequila, to vodka. All aged twelve years and older.

     Damn.

“Oh, I know what we can do.” Brayden tapped along the bottles until he found the tequila of his dreams. This would work just fine. Snagging the liquid gold he held the bottle out to Croix.

Croix’s eyes went wide, and he shook his head, backing away. “No. Last time we drank I woke up with purple hair and a tattoo of ‘Get it while it’s hot’ on my ass.

Brayden burst into laughter. “Do you still have that?” He very vividly recalled the scrolled lettering across Croix’s delectable, right cheek. Hell, he had a picture of it on his phone. Not that he’d tell Croix. Ever.

Croix scowled. “I’m not drinking with you.”

“Come on, show me the tattoo.” Brayden cradled the bottle and peeked around Croix like he could see through his clothes.

“Stop it, you perv,” Croix demanded. “I blame you for that thing ever being on my body. I still think you were sober enough to stop it. The only way you get answers is if I become a stripper and perform a private show.”

What I wouldn’t give for a private show, Brayden thought while keeping the words under lock and key. Instead he said, “I was sloshed, truly.”

“I’m still not drinking with you.”

“Come on,” Brayden insisted. “There isn’t a tattoo place for miles, and no hair dye in the house, right? The worst I could do is shave off all your body hair and maybe take embarrassing photos to add to my collection.” Brayden had tons. There was rarely a time when he didn’t sneak a pic, and a drunk Croix was a sight to behold.

“You’re not selling your case here.” Croix put his hands on his hips, one brow raised.

“Fine, I’ll do double shots while you do singles,” Brayden offered, knowing even with those odds Croix would still get hammered way before him. Croix could get drunk on the vapors of hard alcohol.

Croix exhaled loudly, running his hand through the silky locks of hair Brayden longed to touch before muttering, “Fine, but if I go all Blare Witch in the forest with my camera phone, you’re in deep shit.” Croix snatched the bottle. “Get the glasses, and I’ll get some soda. There’s no way I can drink tequila without a backer.”

Brayden laughed when Croix gave the bottle a dirty look.

“Haven’t you ever wondered what it would be like to be with a man? To be with me?”

Croix jerked back, his eyes wide with shock, but what surprised Brayden was the desire in their depths. “I’m not having this conversation with you right now.” Croix opened the door.

“Why not?” Brayden’s alcohol induced haze pushed him to the brink of bravery and right into the well of insanity. The questions and cravings he’d had for his friend for so long rose to the surface.

“You’re drunk,” Croix muttered, shoving him into the car.

“Not so drunk I don’t know what I want,” Brayden admitted for the first time out loud.

Mistletoe Hop!!

unnamed.png

It’s that time of year again. Have you been naughty or nice?  Maybe a little of both?  At this time I choose to share my twist on a very old classic.  Enjoy.  🙂

“‘Twas the Naughty Night Before Christmas”

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro’ the house,
Not a shifter was stirring, not even a mouse;
The Condoms were stored by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Devon McCormack soon would be there;
Some writers were nestled, some hogging the beds
While visions of naked men danced through their heads
And Leela in leather, with Jase and his nightcap
Were attempting to recoup from a bar fight mishap
When out on the lawn Daisy made such a clatter,
Jase leapt from the floor to see what was the matter
Away to the window Jase flew like a flash,
Tripping over Mary Wallace in his mad dash
The shimmer of glow sticks on the new fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to the people below
When, what to his sleep deprived eyes should appear
But a gaggle of authors, the best of the year
With a wicked hot leader, so vibrant and quick
Jase knew right away it was Becky Condit
With starbucks, swag to free Wifi they came
And Becky whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name
Hey Posy, Riley,Tara, and Glenn
Yo! Skinner, Valentine, Parkinson, and Lynne.
To the top of the porch! The key hangs on the wall!
Then dash up the stairs don’t forget the gag ball.
As wicked words whispered ripe to unfold
Meet with idle authors, troubles soon to be told
So up to the house they strode two by two
Both naughty and nice, both lacking virtue.
All joyful and merry far from aloof
Some powered by alcohol, one-hundred proof
They opened the door ready for another round
When down the chimney a stripper came with a bound:
He was dress’d all in leather, from his head to his foot
With his bronze skin layered in glitter and soot
Sex toys galore could be seen in his sack
And a radio within played, baby got back
His hips how they swiveled to music so merry
His cheeks were rock hard, g-string red as a cherry
Devon finally arrived with Karrie Jax in tow
Tens, twenties and fives stuffed way down below,
Piper Kay peeked into his bag of goodies and sweets
Sharing only with Cardeno, her pilfered treats
The dancer made the rounds with much Joy and glee
And boy was he packing from what Jase could see.
The music grew louder, books shook on the shelf
Laughter and leering at the leather bound elf.
The man gave a wink when his g-string he shed
Suddenly lights through the window flashed blue and red
A siren blared and all those present gave a jerk.
The man dived for his clothes finished with his work
And with a tuck and a zip, package enclosed
With one last shimmy, up the chimney he rose
With the cops at the door the authors did hide
Leaving Draven, who was fit to be tied
But Jase heard Draven exclaim, as the squad car took flight-
Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
~The End

This holiday season I’ll be releasing a new book, with my good friend LL Dahlin just after the new year.  So I guess that makes me a little nice.  🙂  Below is an excerpt for you to enjoy.  After which, leave a comment about your favorite romantic pairing, to be entered to win a ten dollar Amazon gift card.  

 

Brayden rubbed his face against Croix, loving the slight abrasion from the five-o’clock shadow. “Haven’t you ever wondered what it would be like to be with a man? To be with me?”

Croix jerked back, his eyes wide with shock, but what surprised Brayden was the desire in their depths. “I’m not having this conversation with you right now.” Croix opened the door.

“Why not?” Brayden’s alcohol induced haze pushed him to the brink of bravery and right into the well of insanity. The questions and cravings he’d had for his friend for so long rose to the surface.

“You’re drunk,” Croix muttered, shoving him into the car.

“Not so drunk I don’t know what I want,” Brayden admitted for the first time out loud. Later he could blame the alcohol, but right now, in this moment, it was surreal. Croix actually looked at him with fire in his eyes; there was lust there, or Brayden was delusional. He closed his eye, murmuring, “Not that it will ever happen.”

The door slammed, and the other opened, followed by another loud bang. He could swear he could feel Croix’s warmth across the console seeping into his skin. The scent of leather and Croix’s spicy, musky cologne filled the small space.
