Books in for Repair

2012-01-30T06:14:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,

So after some stuff, I now have three books in for repairs. The Orchid Murders, Straight Through the Heart, Broken and Shiver.

The Orchid Murders now have a new home. John and I are very excited to announce that it's coming soon to Silver Publishing. So it's going to have all new edits, updated some with a brand spanking new cover. Once it hits the shelves again we will be sure to let you know.

Straight Through the Heart, Broken and Shiver are back in my WIP pile and this further pushes KING COBRAS: First Son back to perhaps the end of this year. But it's a set back I can live with. I will be taking the next few weeks and completely overhauling these stories, at least Straight Through the Heart and Shiver, making them longer and once that's finished, I will be resubmitting them to different publishers to see who will take them.

After the end of January (2012) you shouldn't be buying these stories with any of the old covers. The old covers are no longer mine anymore so please if you have them up on your blogs as links to me, you can remove them and replace them with my banner or one of the covers from my website or this blog. Thank you for your understanding.

Now I really should go and see if I can get some re-work done before I have to head to work.

hugs,
Remmy D

RAJAN has a FACE!!!!

2012-01-07T20:58:00.000-08:00

This is my sexy cover for book 2 in the SONS OF EROS Series. Rajan's Seduction is pretty!!! The lovely Reese Dante worked her magic once more! Now I must go plaster this all over the place! If you order Rajan's Seduction now - you can earn 10 rewards points over at http://spsilverpublishing.com/

Sons of Eros has begun!! Dun Dun Dunnnnn!

2012-01-07T09:21:00.000-08:00

So, remember me dancing on the ceiling about my Sons of Eros series of shorts?? Well today, January 7, 2012 is the release date for book one! It's a sexy, flirty, fun story about what happens when a basketball player meets an adult orphan with two crazy brothers and an even crazier best friend name Jose *grins* After the last few stories I wrote before this series, I figured my readers deserve something fun.

All his life, people have been leaving Savaro Anatolis; his parents left while he was at school never to be seen again and lovers only wants him for his money. The only people he can count on, are his brothers. After he finish his training to become a chef, he opens his own diner in the medium size town of Eros. When sexy pro-Basket ball player Jamal Kendrick walks in and demanded to try his honey cakes--Savario knows he has to keep this sexy morsel at arms length or Jamal will break his heart.

Jamal Kendrick wants out of the spotlight for a while--he want to go somewhere, where he can at least pretend to be normal. But he didn't prepare for Savaro, his two brothers and fighting demons from Savaro's past. Is love strong enough to save Savaro, or is their relationship doom from the start?

For those of you collecting Silver's reward points? This one is 5(FIVE) rewards points! Come on that has got to count for something lol.

SONS OF EROS 1: Savaro's Honey Buns is now at SILVER PUBLISHING

Orchid Murders in for Repairs

2012-01-03T06:18:00.000-08:00

The Orchid Murders have gotten some amazing reviews. In the same breath, John and I have gotten the rights back to it and will update, upgrade, re-edit and resumit it somewhere else. We have big hopes for this story so give us a bit. We haven't started working on it yet---since the holidays are just over, I'm going back to school and working and John is a busy beaver as well. But we hope to start that late January, Early Feb...

Brock Lesnar Retiring....

2012-01-02T06:14:00.000-08:00

I don't know man, I am up for a good laugh just like the next guy but this is beyond insanity. So when the president of the UFC announced that Brock Lesnar was joining the organization, I remembered blinking at the screen thinking "This has GOT to be a joke." I mean, WHAT? Just because you're top shit in the WWE doesn't mean you can cut it in the UFC. But nope, joke was on me because it actually happened. Former WWE wrestling superstar Brock Lesnar joined the UFC. And.....Key the flying pigs!

When I saw him I couldn't help but think--"This hulk, this giant ass man is going to kill someone!" He was MASSIVE! His hands were so big they had to custom make his UFC regulated gloves. I mean really?

Then to add to the whole BS (which I still think was a major practical joke like B4-4 [Canadians will get this joke]) They made him have his UFC Debut on the main card at UFC 81: Pointe Break against Frank Mir. HUH? Did they lose their minds? Who's bright idea was that? I mean its Frank Frigging Mir!! Needless to say, Lesnar dropped that fight--ugh I said dropped like he had a whole hell of a lot of choice. Frank is a pretty small heavy weight compared to this man but Frank has more experience and Frank is good. Then somewhere, the fates wanted to have a good laugh and Lesnar became the UFC Heavy weight champion of the world--whoa...back it up a second...WHAT??? How in the world did that happen? Brock has no striking skills what-so-ever, he's just brute force and I guess that's all he needed.

The next thing why Brock Lesnar was bad for the UFC is he had a big mouth. He says the dumbest shit whenever the cameras or on him--things that made me wonder why Dana White kept the jerk around in the first damn place--then I headed a desk, of course! It's all about the Bejamins. That had to be why--and the fact he had a contract but there has to be something in said contract that said you had to represent the UFC in a positive light. I mean my publishing houses may be "small" but a good number of them, in their contracts state you have to carry their business in a positive light.

Now lets fast forward to 2011 to UFC 141. Brock Lesnar against Alistair Overeem (who may not be as popular as Lesnar but is very good). The days leading up to the fight was astounding. Lesnar blew off post game interviews and still fought which I think is hypocritical because Nick Diaz did that and lost his chance to fight-- (we all know about Nick's little bout with insanity lately when he blew off a bunch of stuff before a fight with St-Pierre and disappeared) at least that was the Major reason UFC President Dana white put out there for Diaz missed fight. The commercials had Brock Lesnar flexing and saying how great he was and how he was going to teach Overeem a lession. I watched the fight and sat there thinking--oh Brock Lesnar...once again you've counted your eggs before they hatched. He lost--and did it miserably. At the end he blind-sided the UFC president Dana White by announcing he was done. Talk about a sour loser. You could see the look on Dana's face that he was physically ill after the announcement. I guess Brock Lesnar didn't hear the saying "don't bite the hands that feeds you."

Either way he's gone--or he could be pulling a Brett Favre.

For Your Entertainment has a home!

2011-12-21T07:38:00.000-08:00

Remember my sexy little Stripper? Ashton? Well he and his delicious, older cowboy has a home! Silver Publishing has decided to accept FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT. *flails* I don't have a release date yet, but contract has been signed and returned. It's coming in 2012 lol (no duh).

For your Entertainment

2011-12-10T19:21:00.000-08:00

Goal # 2 is finished! I finished and submitted Laird's Choice and now I am finally finished For your Entertainment!!!

Here's the Blurb:
Ashton Clarke is a stripper. Some nights he dances on stage, other nights he gives private dances to the rich patrons of the Nuts and Bolts. When he is sent to give a private dance to a birthday boy and he turns around to see JC Sparta sitting there, he runs. J.C Sparta was the one man he loved but never confessed it. When J.C Sparta gives him an offer, how can he possibly refuse it when J.C Sparta makes his body burns so many years after high school?

Also I've written up SLOW BURN

Title: SLOW BURN
Genre: AA (both males are African American)

Bishop Chance is History exchange professor from Jamaica to the University of Toronto. When he gets off the plane, the only thing on his mind is to avoid having anything amputated due to frost bite and not making a fool of himself. Then he lays eyes on his host--a sexy, chocolate, Adonis with big brown eyes. His body mutinies and if he's not careful, his heart will be next.
Daxton "Dax" Jacobs is all for helping out a friend. When a friend asks him to allow a Jamaican professor to stay at his place, he agrees--besides, he gets a few extra vacation days out of the deal. But Bishop isn't what Daxton expected. Soon, one stolen kiss leads to another until hearts lay on the line.

So that's what I have for SLOW BURN. It may change but I'm ont sure.

Hugs,
Remmy Duchene

Update....

2011-11-27T10:17:00.000-08:00

Big news!! I finished Laird's Choice. Well it was finished. I just hadn't edited it yet. So now it's finished and off my plate. I still have a few weeks to go before I stop writing for the year to focus on some other stuff but For Your Entertainment is next on my desk now. I am half way through that story. I have a couple of hours at work right now before I have to start working but stupid me didn't bring the file...*sigh* see what I mean about being bombarded at this time of the year.

And for those of you, who wanted a christmas story. Didn't have time to do a major story but here's something better -- a free read! Click here!

Anyways, I am going to go for a walk, stretch my muscles and then try get some work done.

A few things

2011-11-25T11:22:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,

So a few of you, who follow me closely, know I haven't been around facebook lately. It's not because I've quit for good. It's just...facebook irritates me and of late I've been having REALLY bad days. Now add my changing diet, my lack of sleep, my need to finish at least one more title before the year ends and plans for next year titles and all that just makes me want to pull my hair out. And besides, facebook was just getting to be too much.

I will log in again when I don't feel like I'm in over my head.

Next - Savaor's Honey Buns is Book one in my Sons of Eros series. It will not be out until early 2012 and it will be at Silver Publishing. I've been getting quite a few emails about this book. And yes, it is a series and yes the two brothers Laird and Rajan has their own stories.

Rajan's story is due out soon after with his story Rajan's Seduction and Laird's story "Laird's Choice" has yet to be edited and submitted. So it's coming.

King Cobras don't get started until next year. I don't want to add more to my plate as it is already over flowing with a few WIP that I started a year ago and decided to finish them before starting anything new. So those WIP includes Slow Vegence and For Your Entertainment. For the new year I will be trying to write a novel lenght title "Slow Burn" (that may change) and my first non-interracial story. The blurb is in the works as I wriite this so that will be posted as soon as I can finish it and make sure it makes sense and that I am happy with it. And between that I will be working on King Cobras (the entire series) in the new year. There are no promises about holiday themed stuff because sometimes I get just too bombarded around this time of the year.

Also, I know, I've only done one other anthology and that was the Sandals and Sodomy one for Dreamspinner Press...why? Because I hated Anthologies but loved Dreamspinner lol so I did it when I found out they were doing one. But this one from Rebel Ink Press was too delicious to give up. My story Simply Irresistable is a part of the Rebel Ink Press "The Dad Plan" Anthoology coming for father's day!

I mean how could I have not? Look at that cover! Look at that cute lil face! And besides, I find DILFs sexy *grins* Another thing that I probably shouldn't share with the world lol.
I was going to try for something for their In Service one but I can't do it. Too much to get done. I don't want to carry things over into the new year that I can finish this year. So Laird's story comes first and once that's finish I will fight to finish the other two but if it doesn't happen then *shrugs* that only means I will have until the end of the year to finish them.

Anyways, That is it for now. I am going back into hiding for a little bit longer. If you're on facebook for the next little while and it says I am online, chances are it's my friend Ryu making sure things didn't pile up for when I get back. But say hi, who knows who it will be! lol

Hugs,
Remmy D

my favorite xmas movie

2011-10-29T14:04:00.001-07:00

Dinner! - So I worked all day but then had to feed myself...eep!

2011-10-14T19:34:00.000-07:00

Ham

So, after thanksgiving, we have left over EVERYTHING in my house. Left over ham, left over turkey left over stuffing, the left over cranberry we threw out because in my opinion that stuff shouldn't even be eaten to begin with. Anyways, so we have tons of ham and I wanted something different. So I decided to whip something up really fast. So here's how to make Remmy Duchene Pasta with some Kick. First, you need ham...or chicken breasts. I use ham because I didn't want to cook something new when our fridge is already overflowing.

First, fill your kettle with water and let it boil. You never know when you're going to need to add water to something and you never want to use cold water to add to a boiling pot. This slows down the boil and takes longer to cook. And some meats you can't add cold water to. So always have some hot water standing by.

So I got some ham, and cut it up in bite sizes pieces. You don't want it to be cut too small because if too small, it can be cooked out or suck up too much sauce too quickly and you don't want that. There's nothing worse than soggy ham. HA! Sorry I know there's a dirty joke in there somewhere but, hey, moving on, right? Oh, this ham was cooked in the oven and glazed with brown sugar so it was yummy to begin with. It was soaked in a sweet, delicious sauce from before.

Then you need onion. If you notice, its cut up in large chunks. Why? You don't want them cooked out completely. You want, by the end of the cooking, you still could taste the onion when you lift a forkful to your mouth. Remember, we're not going to cook the onions, we're just going to saute them, make sure they soak through but not enough to completely break apart.

You want to taste the hotness of the onion because this is pasta with some kick, right? Ok, so moving on. You may have to use more than one or two onions to make an impact. Depending on the size of the onion. I was making enough for one and the onions were really small so I used three. I cut them into chunks to flavour my meal.

Another thing you need is tomato. I don't know what it is about the tomatoe that I LOVE so much. It has a very rich, familira flavour. In Jamaica we grow them naturally and as they starts getting ripe, we would use them. When we fry them in really hot oil the oil would turn red fromt he tomato. But these one these days don't do that. I miss that. But in this, I didn't use the whole tomato because it was large and I was only making enough pasta for one person. (though I have tons left over). Oh to reheat the finish product, simply scrape it into a plate, sprinkle with fresh water, sprinkle and place in oven for a few minutes. You don't want it to recook but heat through. Or you can use a microwave but it will taste different. When you're done adding parmesean cheese and then eat.

While you're setting up everything, you want to set a pot on to boil. Add some salt to it and cover it tightly. The salt helps the pot boils faster and sealing it keeps steam in and boils it faster. Once it begins to bubble, add the pasta. Now you want to break the pasta into manageable sizes. This helps with eating later on.

How? Well its easier to wrap around the fork. Easier to eat without getting pasta sauce on the front of your clothes or flipped into the eyes. Breaking it into smaller sizes is better all around because then you get use a small pot, less energy. So break them into three or two.

In a saunce pan, add a little oil. I use vegetable oil because its what I'm used to. You don't want to drown the pot in oil, you just want enough so you can saute some onions, tomato and ham in. So dont go heavy on the oil. Once it's hot, add the onions first because they are thicker cut. Turn the stove down to medium, you want the onions so soak through without breaking apart or burning. Then add the tomato. Now be gently when you're mixing this up. Try to make hotspots in the pot...so what are hotspots...so you have the onions going, move them to the side or make space in the centre and add the tomatoe. This way the tomato can be cooking, while the onions are cooking and you don't stir them too much so they don't break apart.

Then, you want to add the ham and some spices. I only used all purpose and ground pepper. This makes it hot mixed with the onions. Once all those ingredients are in, gently mix things up. Dont keep stirring, use a spatula. This way you can pick up chunks of the ingredients and literally turn them over so they don't break apart. Remember, you don't want to completely cook out the onions.

You really have to time the cooking by the way. This way both sets of ingredients are ready at the same time. If you notice the water is boiling out on your pasta, juast add some hot water from your kettle! See? Coming in handy huh!

With the noodles, once they're cooked strain it. Use a strainor (this is what we call it.) And let it sit. You don't want to let it sit for too long because it will clump together and be really grose when eating it so don't let it sit too long. And you know how your parents say rinse pasta when you cook it before you do anything with it? Don't do that. Once you rinse the pasta, all that nurients that was stuck to it from boiling it, the salt etc, gets rinsed off. You don't want that. So don't rinse it.

I used premade sauce for this. So pour it over your cooked up onions, tomato and ham. You don't want to use ALOT because this is just for one person right? So use enough that you think will make your pasta good. It depends on how you like it. I don't like too much sauce on mine when I'm using the store bought one. So add it, mixed it in a little and let it sit for a little bit until the sizes begin to bubble.

In a new sauce pot, a bigger one, add the drained pasta. Then dumped some parmesean cheese on top. Mix that in. Then you want to add your sauce (with the ham, onion, tomato and sauce). Once you add it, use a form and mix it all together gently. We still don't want the onions to fall apart. We want to be able to chew into them when you eat.

Drained Pasta with cheese

Anyways, I use the fine parmesean cheese. This way it melts faster so you have to move fast when using it to cook. You want to turn your stove down low under this because since there is no water or sauce in the pasta, if its too high it might burn. So turn the stove down, don't forget.

Ok, next, with the everything mixed in and sit for a bit over low heat. You want to add more pamesean cheese. This is for the actually effect.

Dont be stingy on the cheese either. You want to be able to taste all the different ingredients, so use as much cheese as is possible.

You want it to be tasty good because you're not going to eat this everyday and tomorrow at the EDJ you're going to stress it off anyways lol.

Et Voila! the finish project. Be sure to take the pot off the hot stove. If you don't and turn off the stove it will continue cooking and you don't want that because it will stick to the pot. So turn off the stove and remove the pot from the burner. Drink this with white wine, if you are that age. It's really good because the sweetness of the wine with the cheese and onions very good.

Ok, please enjoy. And be sure you turn off all ovens, all burners and unplug the kettle.

Hugs,

Remmy D

Just Ventin'

Hey all!

I was on the bus this morning going to the EDJ and it occurred to me I haven't posted here in a long while. So, I've been a very very bad Remmy! lol. Anyways, here goes.

So lately, I've been chipping in and out of a kick ass case of the writer's block. While I did manage to finish and submit book two of the Sons of Eros series for Rajan Anatolis, I am half way through Sons of Eros 3 for Laird Anatolis and it just broke my heart to write the last part I did...so so far I've been gunshy to pick it up again. I mean, how can something else bad not happen?

Laird isn't talking to me right now because I made him make a really horrid decision regarding his lover Race and so, he's a little bit pissed at me. Still, I only have a little ways to go on finishing it then I have to edit it. So I'm thinking I'll be done, before Nanowrimo starts....not that I'm doing it this year, but I want to take November to start King Cobras 1: First Son by then...Who knows? I may do King Cobras Book 1 in Nano....

I also would like to write a sweet romance at some point in the coming year--not sure how well that's going to turn out but we shall see right?

So how has things been for everyone? Any news I should know? Anything you want to share?

Love for Straight Through the Heart

2011-09-19T10:57:00.000-07:00

So Today I was at work and just having a horrid month. Then I checked my facebook and this was sitting in my email inbox!!!

Powerful and moving, Remmy Duchene's novel, "Straight Through the Heart" captivated me completely from the very first paragraph until the very last word...

Terrified by the exquistite agony of a thirty year friendship turned sour, because of his failure to communicate effectively, Keith tries instead to run from the one person he cannot escape...himself. A compelling tale, of lust, life, of hope and shattered lives, of the fierceness of acceptance, the irrationalism of predujice and overwhelming joy of unconditional love given and recieved.

Set against the lush and exotic backdrop of Jamaica, Ash and Keith are about to make the greatest discovery of all, -that love truly can conquer all. Despite the beliefs of it's people, the once safe and beautiful island paradise, turns menacing, vicious and ugly when the lovers are forced to flee under threat of deadly intent. Love however will not thwarted, their happiness and finding the fulfillment they both deserve is surely inevitable, regardless of any and all they must go through, to come out whole again on the other side. ...

Told with a passion and an erotism that will have your heart pounding...with a tenderness that aches for ease and with a triumphant need to soar and break free of the bonds that bind the human spirit...

A brilliant love story that will linger long after the telling...Thank you Remmy, simply beautiful!

England's Burning

2011-08-11T05:34:00.001-07:00

As a child growing up in Jamaica, I always dream of visiting England. Sometimes I made plans to go there and live. But as I grew older my reasons for visiting England has changed to drinking a beer in a good-ole fashion pub with some good-ole fashion people then to visiting the Globe theatre because I swear I was going to find a wall that said "Shakespeare wuz ere!" Anyways, I always thought my education was that much richer because I was brought up partly in the British school system. I mean we always looked up to England as a little bit more exclusive and elegant breed--because lets face it, what other country have cops that carries no guns? But lately, as I watch a few moronic malcontents (I know redundant but morons like this deserve it) burn the country to the ground I have to wonder why I was so obessessed with the country to begin with.

In the past few days, it is clear to see that some of England's population are just as evil and stupid as the rest of us. They decided, because one person was killed to go through the streets of the country and burn it to the ground, killing more people to avenge one. What made them thing that was in any way okay? Who, in their infinite wisdom thought rioting and looting would be acceptable? Haven't you ever heard the needs of the many outweights the needs of the few?

Not only are you rioting, killing people, looting their businesses and scaring others, you are burning down historic landmarks! Buildings that outlived the test of time only to meet you assholes who burn them to the ground! What is wrong with you people? When, in a democracy did it become quite acceptable to throw a tantrum of this magnitude when something doesn't go your way or when something goes wrong? At this point no one gives a damn what caused this. Because lets face it, the same thing you're trying to bring attention to is now lost in the background in a cloud of tear gas and smoke because you little pricks cannot solve your problem in a peaceful, sane way. Is this what we have to look forward to in a few years? A bunch of ex-President George Du-ya Bushes who blows up another country when they don't get what they want? Because I have to tell you, I lived through two terms of that idiot and we're still reaping what he sew.

Look, the truth is you turds should all go to jail. Plain and simple. And here's hoping the British has the same law where if you and your friends kill someone in the process of committing a felony, you get charged with murder. I hope, when, not if, but when you get caught, you are thrown in jail and the keys thrown away because so help me you will deserve it. You should be ashamed at yourselves you pathetic excuse for human beings. I am so tired of ignorant little ticks like you give all us young people a bad name because you think with your dicks and not your heads. I am tired of your idiotic decisions. I am tired of your lack of regard for human life and I'm tired of your bullshit. This has to stop and hopefully when you're pinning away for the next ten to twenty in prison, you'll think long and hard about what's happening now.

                EXCERPT

Doomsday.

I was up long before the sun and lay in bed staring at the ceiling. I couldn’t bring myself to get out of bed nor could I bring myself to roll over. I drifted in and out of a light sleep and by the time I could get out of bed it was well past ten. There was a commotion outside and I ran to my window to see what was happening. Mrs Anton’s grand children were chasing a cat down the street with a broom. I arched a brow and watched them until they were long gone. Perhaps I took too much pleasure out of seeing that, I don’t know, but it was fun to see the kids.

But soon that fun was over and I turned my attention to the acceptance letter. It had so much instruction I hadn’t noticed before. Filling out the papers that were required of me, I stuck them in an envelope and carried it to the car. I dropped it on the passenger seat so I didn’t forget it and walked back into the house.

Christopher called a couple of times, but both times I missed him; once I was outside making my envelope run and the second time I was in the bathroom. Then I got swallowed in my writing and forgot. When the telephone rang again, I grabbed it simply because it surprised me.

“Yeah?” I tucked the phone into that spot we all use; between our shoulder and head.

“You still alive over there?” Christopher wanted to know. “Was calling to see if you needed any help for your date.”

“Thanks for reminding me.’ I groaned and eased away from my laptop after hitting save. “I was trying not to think about it by writing.”

“Like that was going to stop you from thinking about it. How do you feel?”

“Like I’m stepping from the frying pot and into the fire. But I’ll survive. You’re right. If I need to know I have to go and find out. I can’t just wait for the answer to fall out of the sky.”

“Good boy—you need help dressing?”

“What’s wrong with the way I dress?”

Christopher simply laughed.

“Yeah yeah, you don’t have to rub it in,” I muttered. “I’m just going to wear a black pair of dress pants, my leather jacket with a white tee under.”

“Well, hello!” Christopher said in a deep, sexy voice.

“Fruit,” I accused.

“And don’t you forget it. Anyways, I have to get back to work. Call me when it’s over? Just try to relax and be the fun you, not the grumpy, unsure you.”

“Thanks X,” I said. “Thanks.

Dooms-evening.

I changed my car to a silver sports car for the date. There was nothing wrong with the car I usually drive. It was only that I was starting to feel my control slipping and I wanted something to put me back between the lines. The engine purred along the streets, through the slowly dying sun. My mood rose and crashed in the space of a second and at one point I had to pull over to the side of the road. My heart was going too fast. My throat was dry and my tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth. I rubbed my sweaty palms against my thighs over and over until they were hot and was about to chafe.

You are over-complicating this.

I sat in my car, staring at Bao’s address on my cell phone and I wanted to turn and run. I was a block away from his place. The longer I sat there, with the engine running, the worse I felt. My stomach was doing a strange little flip that made me want to hurl. But I couldn’t tarry longer for it was getting late. Hauling in a breath, I cranked the car out of park, checked my mirrors and pulled from the side of the road continuing to his driveway and hopped from the car.

The house before me wasn’t one of great expense but the lawn was neatly cut and the tricked-out black sedan parked in the driveway made up for it. It was small in comparison to the homes around. It had a bay window at the front that looked strangely out of place. There was a porch swing, rocking on its own on the veranda and the front door was open but the storm door was closed. My father used to do that when we went to the cottage in the summer time. When I asked why he would simply say, “it’s my way of letting God in.”

As a child that confused me. Now that I’m older, I got it. My father wasn’t a church going man, but he was spiritual.

With a quick look back at my car, I jogged up the front steps with Christopher’s advice about not acting nervous playing on repeat in my head. Wiping my palms against my thighs, I lifted my chin and rang the doorbell.

Bao appeared almost instantly. This time he was dressed in all black again, but the difference was, he wasn’t wearing a uniform. This time he was wearing a black pair of pants with a black jacket. Beneath it, a dark red t-shirt peeked out. A silver chain hung low around his neck with a cross as the pendant and I smiled.

“Evening.”

“Hi. Do you want to come in? I have to find socks.”

“Making me wait, right?” I laughed when he smirked and opened the screen door. I was walking by him when he reached up to kiss my cheek. Without thinking, I pressed my palm softly against his cheek and kissed his cheek before stepping by him into the house. I kicked off my shoes, out of habit, and followed him into the living room where he left me. The inside of the home was small yet cozy and clean. Looking around, I saw family was very important to him. For the first time in a long time I missed my father. I often time blamed him and my long dead mother for not having other children; for alienating the rest of their families. I walked around, peering pensively at each picture and a few trophies that lined a small shelf.

“Alright—ready?”

“Yes…you have a nice family.”

“Thanks. Most of them are back in China, but I visit. Come on.”

I allowed him to take my hand and lead me out of the house. He stopped to lock the door behind us and when he turned around he whistled.

“You’re driving that?” Bao asked.

I looked into his eyes and nodded. “That’s my pride and joy,” I joked like my father would have. I opened his door for him and watched him slide into the leather seat. Closing his door, I walked around the car and climbed in beside him. The truth was I had no idea where I was taking him. It wasn’t like I could take him to the same place we met. I made a left turn at the end of his street and turned for the highway.

“Can we open the windows?” he asked.

Nodding, I hit the button and the windows on both sides slid town. I glanced at him and saw him smiling with his fingers out the window in the wind. I used to do that as a child, just to feel the wind blow through them at top speed. Suddenly he lifted his hand and touched my hair. I jerked slightly.

“Sorry—should have warned you about that.”

“It’s all good. I just didn’t expect it.”

He caressed my head, stroking the back of my neck softly. The urge to close my eyes and let my head fall forward was so strong, I groaned and took his hand away. I dropped it on my thigh instead but that too was a bad idea. His hand traveled up my thigh, down my thigh, then across. It brushed against the front of my pants and my cock took notice and began rising. He squeezed it gently causing me to moan.

“I’m driving,” I managed. “You have to behave.”

“It’s good to know I turn you on, Mason,” Bao smiled, caressing my thigh. “A man wants to know that.”

I glanced at him quickly then pulled off the highway and then north. Finally we pulled up before one of my favorite restaurants. It was called Azure. We walked in together and was shown to a private table out of the way of the others. When we were given our menu and the waiter left for our drinks, Bao cleared his throat.

“Are you loaded or something?” he questioned. “Because you drive a kick ass car—I think that’s one of only ten left in the world. And you show up to a restaurant that has no pricing on the menu and they just say hello Mr. Anderson. Your table is waiting, Mr Anderson. I’ve never had that before.”

“Or something,” I replied. Finance was something I hated to discuss. The word loaded just sounded dangerous, like a gun, cocked and ready to go off.

“How am I supposed to order if I don’t know how much stuff cost?”

“Don’t sweat it.”

“Alright…” he replied.

But he didn’t really sound convinced for I could still feel his eyes on me. There was a certain heat that followed his gaze so I looked up. He had closed his menu and was looking at me with his head tilted to the side.

“What?”

“I keep watching you lick your lips,” he whispered, lounging back in his chair. “And I’m wondering what it would be like to kiss you—just to feel you against me—I’m sorry. This is only our first date.”

My heart started hammering inside my chest. My palms sweated. I wanted to kiss him too. But could I? Did I dare? Was this my fork in the road? Was this the last line before I am plunged into a world of being gay and there would be no turning back? I was over-thinking again for Christopher’s advice began playing on fast repeat inside my head. I eased back in my seat with the force of the memory.

“Alright…” I said softly. “Kiss me.”

“You’re messing with me. I can see the smile in your eyes.”

“Am I? I’m right there, Bao. You’re going to have to come get me.”

He hesitated—I saw it in his eyes. But soon he climbed from where he was to sit beside me in the booth. I reached up and gripped his ponytail, yanking it free and tossing the tie on the table. Burying my fingers in his hair felt almost like heaven. Tightening my fingers, I eased his head closer and closer to my lips. My heart raced fiercely, my body burnt and my cock throbbed. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t let him go. I couldn’t give up on what was happening. With a sigh of surrender, I slammed my mouth over his, spreading my lips as his tongue shot into my mouth. He groaned, but I couldn’t do anything but allow him to ease me deeper into the plush seat and take over. He braced a hand into my chest, licking my lips and sucking my tongue. Fireworks exploded behind my eyes, my body burned sweetly and my cock begged for release.

I am gay.

A voice cleared and he pulled from me but not before I stole another quick kiss and untangled my fingers from his hair. The waitress standing there was flushed red and I laughed. “It’s alright,” I told her. She nodded, put down the drinks and all but ran from the room.

“You know we’re getting a new waitress right?” Bao asked.

“I figured—come here,” I whispered. My body was trembling as if I was going through withdrawal from him. I wanted to taste him again, if only for a little bit.

He eased across the small space, giving me his lips. I took them gladly, drinking from them until my lungs screamed for air. I released him, just as a new waitress walked over to take our orders.

I knew she knew.

Alone at home and Have to feed myself...oh the Horror! PT 2

The Rice

So, again, I'm still here by myself. Once again I have to feed myself. Because I made WAY too much chicken yesterday thinking the rents were coming back last night--but it seems they figured out my secret. *eyes Havan Fellows* I knew she told my secret. So I had to improvise because I was exhaausted from working all day at the EDJ so I thought I would make something good. I deserved it! So here goes. Make Remmy's Special Chicken Surprise! In a large pot, share out some rice. I'm not sure how many people there are in your house or how many you're cooking for. For me, there should be three people here so I put three cups of rice. Hopefully there will be left over for another day just in case my father doesn't feel like making lunch tomorrow or something. Anyways, so in my house we use pre-cooked rice because we don't really have much time for anything else. Rake your fingers through the rice, just to make sure nothing is in it that you don't want in it. You know when they package these things, you have to be careful. So now that it's free of un-mentionables, wash it. Dump water in and spin it around with your fingers then strain off the water. Then catch water in and set it on the stove to boil.

All My spices

The water will look a little white but dont worry. That's because even though you washed the rice the water will still be a little white. In the pot with the water and rice, add your spices. I added all purpose seasoning, a little salt and some ground pepper. You may like other stuff but be careful what you add. You don't want it to become too salty or too spicy. That defeats the purpose of Seasoned rice. You can also add onion chopped really, really small along with green, sweet peppers and some orange ones. You can really have fun with this kind of rice. Some cultures love it really spice adn they add small pieces of chicken to it but I get heart burn when I tried that once. Maybe it wasn't made properly or sometheing but I was really sick after I tried it. Anyways, make sure you just add a little of each to your rice. Also, I added thyme leaves. It's a lovely spice that comes in really handy.

Rice with seasoning

The picture beside this is the one with all the spices in the pot with the rice. You can wait until the water is boiling before adding them but I don't know it's not the same to me. I add them as soon as it's on the stove. Next, you can cut up your own veggies...cauliflower and carrots. Make sure the peices are not too big because they will take a much longer time to cook. And make sure they aren't too small because then the veggies will get all soft and break apart. You don't want that. One of the reasons to put the veggies in is to give your plain, boring rice some colour. And the bright side is, it's healthy-er lol. Anyways, add the veggies along with some margerine or butter. Mix it a little with a fork. Never use a spoon in rice. When you use the spoon, it clumps the rice together in blotches. When you use fork, the rice is mixed and the grains flow through the fork's teeth.

I use

The Veggies

pacakaged because I was lazy but to each their own. You don't want too much so it completely takes over. You just want enough to make sure you can see the colours of the broccoli and carrots and the chunks of other veggies. You can basically use any colourful veggies. On top of that, before you mix it with the fork, add a piece of butter or margerine. Just to add a little something extra and once the water is barely covering the veggies, cover the put, turn the heat down to medium and leave it to boil. You want to keep your eyes on it because two things can happen. One, if the heat is up too high, the water can boil over into the stove. This is not safe for obvious reasons. Two, the water will boil out too fast leaving only some of the rice cooked. You don't want that. You want the rice to suck in the water and cook all around. by the time the rice is done, there shouldn't be any water left in the pot. Some people cook the rice for a bit then strain the water off. The water have all the nutrients in it from the boiled veggies and spices and the rice grains itself. If you strain that off, you're losing all the good stuff.

Rice with Veggies, margerine, spices

While that's happening, you want to get the chicken breasts from the night before. Cut them into large chunks. You don't want them too too small. If you don't have enough meat then you may want to do some extra like I told you about yesterday. So cut them into large pieces and let it sit aside. Get an onion, thyme and any other spices you'd like (remember, your rice already have some spices in it so you don't want to over-do it). Then in a bowl, add some ketchup, bbq sauce, soy sauce and add some warm water to mix it. You don't want it pasty. Set that aside too. In a large frying pot, add some canola oil and let it heat, then add some garlic. Now, my father, the angel that he is, went out and bought a whole crap loud of carlic. Then what he did, was strip them and toss them into the blender, WITHOUT water so its a nice paste. Then he put it into a large, air tight, glass jar and stuck it in the fridge. That way whenever we want some garlic, we use a clean spoon and scoop some out. It's REALLY handy! *YAY DAD!* Ok, onward to the cooking.

Onion, garlic and thyme

Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and let it fry. You want to to lightly brow before adding the chopped onions and thyme. Let they lightly brown. You don't want them burnt. You want it so that the aroma is strong but the onions cannot be too soft. You don't want to over-cook them just yet. It smells really really good when you're cooking this part of it. Oh and don't forget the rice. Run the fork through it again just to make sure it's not sticking. If the water is all gone, taste it and make sure its the right taste--softness to firmness. If not, add just a touch of water and turn the stove down to low and go back to your onions and stuff. Use a spatula for this and not a fork. You don't want to scratch the bottom of the pot and forks are nortorious for that. If you want to protect your pops use spatulas for stuff like this.

Chicken Added

So, space the onions out so the centre of the pot is empty then add the cut up chicken. Mix them together and let it continue frying. You want the chicken to get a little bit more colour and to let some of the garlic kind of sink into the meat. By now your rice is ready, turn off the stove or turn it down REALLY low.

Mix the chicken some more, don't let it stick, dont let it burn. Once you are satisfied it has enough colour without burning, add the mixture of bbq sauce etc you mixed earlier with the warm water. Mix it in and cover the put on medium heat. You want the chicken to warm by the water soaking through not re cook. Let it simmer and clean up the mess you just made preparing the meal in the first place. Make a little drink, some tea or something fun. Do not fall asleep lol.

Et voila!

For the gravy, you can either let the water boil down until it's a gravy or if you're afraid you'll let it burn, then just add a ltitle flour to some cold water and drop some into it and mix it in. Don't add too much flour water, this could really make it paste and ick. So here's the final product.

Added some steamed crackers from last night.

Alone at home and Have to feed myself...oh the Horror!

2011-07-31T18:54:00.000-07:00

So, the kids are finally gone. My mom and dad took them home and spent the weekend because it's their anniversary and my dad's birthday. So after I attended Caribana and spent a night with the best friend, I spent Sunday, sleeping in, washing the car, putting gas in it and running errands. I even drove down to the lake and sat there for a few minutes just staring at the water. After that, I got my fill of cajun (or near as I can get in this city) food and headed home. I spoke to the BFF, ate my fast food I watched my Blue Jays win (yay!). I took a nap...omg that nap was so good it was almost orgasmic.

When I woke up, I talked to the best friend some more (well duh) and finally I realised...hrm, its almost six, I haven't eaten and I had to feed myself! I mean what a concept! I haven't had to really feed myself Sunday dinner in so long...let me stress. Sunday dinners in a Jamaican house is a huge deal. We cook the good stuff because we don't have time during the week to have family dinner. So on Sundays, we live it up.

After the chicken was cleaned

So, I dug through the freezer found some chicken and cleaned it up. It took a while since it was a last minute deal and things were frozen. But I let it sit for a while in some water, talked to the best friend some more and then finally I was able to clean up the chicken. First, I washed it in clear water and after cleaning off as much of the other stuff as I could, I washed it in water with a some lemon, then rinsed it again.

I know, I washed it a lot, but growning up I was always taught to wash it as much as I can because meat sits around for heaven knows how long before its actually packaged and blah blah blah food poisoning, blah blah blah. Anywho, this mean you can make with basically any part of the chicken but I would suggest the breasts or the legs. The wings doesn't have as much meat as you'd need. Anywho, after it was cleaned up, I put on a frying pot, that's what we call it but I think you guys call it a skillet? I don't know a pot that you fry in. My family uses a cast iron one and its amazing. So, you put it on and let it sit on the fire for a bit...you need it to get REALY hot then pour in some canola oil--am talking so hot that you can see waves in it. While this is happening, drain the chicken. Take it out of the water, you may want to get a bunch of paper towels and pat it dry. If you don't want to do that, then drain it as best you can then place them on a flat plate to drain more. When they are drained, sprinkle with salt, and ground pepper.

Once the oil is hot, put the chicken pieces in. Do not drop them in because the last thing any of us want is a face full of hot oil. Once all the pieces are in, cover it. Because once chicken is frying it tends to pop...again, face full of hot oil is no fun. And do not fry in a short sleeve shirt or lingerie... ok going in. Once in a while, go in and turn the meat. Make sure it's burning on each side. Once that's done, pour off all the oil. Some people take the chicken out, pour off the oil then put the chicken back in. Some, who's had more practise, just pour off the oil with the chicken still in the pot. Which ever is safer for you. Becareful to wipe off excess oil from the outside of the pot before placing it back on the burner. You don't want an oil fire.

Onion and margerine added

In a small bowl, add soy sauce, a little bbq sauce (you can use Ketchup but it doesn't give it the same umph) and mix by adding water. Add enough water that when you pour it in, it doesn't cover the chicken but is a good amount. Add onion, butter or margerine. Now, I don't really like tomato so I didn't add alot but a small, yellow one, you can add red one to add colour etc. Anyways, cover it again and let it simmer, soaking to the chicken. Turn the pieces over from time to time to ensure they don't stick. If you find the water boils down too low before the chicken has had a chance to soak through, add water to it. Do not add any more soy sauce because this is salty and that could ruin your food. It won't really change anything to add a little water. Make sure you have some water boiled and sitting in the kettle and if you want to add water to meals being cooked, add hot or warm water. Cold water slows down the boil.

Flour in water

Once you're the meat is ready, what we do is get some water and add some flower. The water has to be cold before you add the flower. You can also use corn starch but corn starch taste funny to me. Moving on, do it right before you need it, otherwise it will settle and you'll have to mix it again. Don't make it too thick. Add it the meat and make sure it's mixed in. I suggest using a large spoon and add the mixture of flour water a little at a time. This makes the liquid thick and makes your gravy.

Turn the stove on low and let it simmer a little bit. Make sure you taste it from time to time to make sure you have enough spice and salt. Make sure it's not missing anything. Make sure when you poke the chicken it doesn't run red. If it runs red, you need to add more water and let it simmer some more. You don't want red, red is bad. Red means food poisoning...

When the crackers are added

Once its done simmering, get the hard crackers--they're made by Excelsior--it's a Jamaican brand. But these crackers have a hard crunch...you can find them in a West Indian grocery store. Turn the stove way down, and drop them on the top of the meat. Don't mix them in, just spread them across the top. If you mix them in they are going to suck up the gravy and get soggy. Cover the put. Let it sit like that for about ten to fifteen minutes to let the steam make the crackers soft. Go mix your drink or watch some TV or something and just let the steam and the spice from the heat soak through the crackers. When you're ready to eat, the crackers will be soft, and splitting open from the heat. That's precisely what you want. Put a piece of the chicken on a plate, then scoop out some crackers. Adding the gravy on top of that with the cooked onions and tomato. Sprinkle the gravy across the crackers, now is when you want the gravy to be mixed with the crackers. Now you don't want to eat this cold, you want it to still have some steam to it when you sit down to eat it.

Final Product. The "Exel-cious Chicken"

And this is what I had for dinner! It was yummy! Just don't tell my family. They're going to start thinking I am mature enough to take care of myself..pfffft

Hugs,

Remmy

CAGED is Here!

2011-07-28T19:22:00.000-07:00

So good news my lovelies! CAGED is finally here!! Well, it has been out on Kindle since yesterday but I didn't know! One of my readers informed me on facebook and I rushed right over to check. I know you all know the cover because I've been showing it off for AGES now. It was released on Amazon on July 25th and will be available from MuseItHot at their website today!

So I guess I could say the wait is over!! *flails happily* So for those of you who have no idea what I'm babling about, here's the blurb. And I will add an excerpt under that.

Kyo "Wings" Tsubasa has been fighting all his life; his father during training, his father's ghost, in two wars for his country and now he's fighting the demons left behind by a jerk of an ex-boyfriend. When he returns from Iraq to find that his fiancée had allowed their house to be foreclosed on, emptied his bank account and disappeared, Kyo was destroyed. He begins fighting in illegal cage matches at first to pay the bills, but after a while, he begins fighting more than just human opponents in that ring--now, he's fighting his demons.

Tyrone Swayby has been disappointing his father all his life. Tyrone did acting instead of football, business in university instead of Medicine and Tyrone is gay instead of straight. When his father retired and handed the family gym business to Tyrone, he thinks all is well, but every step he makes, his father is there to question him. With his life spinning out of control with his father, the last thing Tyrone is looking for is love. But seeing the sexy, cage fighter make his body burn in all the right ways.

...and how far is Tyrone's father willing to go to make sure Kyo and Tyrone never get together?

EXCERPT

It didn’t seem all that long before Danny returned and led him through a small corridor into a bright light. He felt like the rats being led by the pied piper. Rolling his shoulders to get out the kinks, the sound of the cheering crowd hit him. They were yelling all kinds of things but mostly at the man in the ring – the giant of a man in the ring. Then they saw him and almost in unison, the crowd roared with laughter. It was obvious they didn’t bet on him but Kyo didn’t mind.

The inside of the club surprised him. From the outside it just seemed so regular. But the inside had a large--slightly raised off the ground—a spot in the centre parted off by chairs set in a circle. It had an octagonal hole before the chairs but he didn’t spend too much time wondering what that was for. Kyo knew the space was the ring he’d be fighting in and that was all that mattered. His eyes went back to the man standing there, prancing around as though he owned the joint. He was flexing and waving and growling at the audience – Kyo fought the urge to roll his eyes like an insolent child.

“That’s Cage Hog,” Danny explained, pointing to the mean-looking sucker in the ring already. “We don’t even know his real name. He’s been our champ for the last four weeks.”

“So, you thought you’d put the little Japanese boy up against the giant, is that it?”

Danny smirked and Kyo saw betrayal there.

He dropped his duffle at the base, removed his Marine insignia from his shoulder and the one on his chest and stowed them carefully in his bag wrapped in one of his under-wears. The thought of fighting in some illegal match made Kyo feel as if he was betraying everything the Marines taught him. Kyo left his camouflage pants on and stepped up to enter the ring. He had just made it to his corner when a sound echoed above him and the crowd went even wilder. He looked up to see a cage being lowered around them. That angered him for no one said anything about a cage but ten grand was ten grand. He could get a motel room for the night then look for an apartment the next day and a job. Taking a deep breath he stepped forward and waited until the cage was fully in place. The bell sounded and his Goliath charged.

Stay calm, Kyo-Chan. Anger has no place in a fight. It clouds the mind, slow the reflexes.

Kyo inhaled deeply as the large man growled and kept coming. At the last possible second he took a leap to the left, spun around and slammed his elbow in the back of the man’s head. That did nothing but slam him into the net making Cage Hog even angrier. Kyo spun in time to dodge a fist but sent a high kick into the side of the man’s head.

During a fight, Kyo-Chan, patience determines the winner. Easy does it.

The crowd went silent. It was as though they were all sitting there in shock. Kyo used his fists against Cage Hog’s hips before hooking a leg around the bigger fighter’s and pulling. Cage Hog fell face first into the hard ground and Kyo took advantage of that by moving into a Kimura lock. A fight style from Brazilian Ju-jitsu but it worked like a charm – he picked that one up from his first Marine Commander.

Kyo grabbed Cage Hog’s right hand and yanked it painfully behind the larger man’s body like a deformed chicken wing that was bent in too far. This caused his arm to be locked around Cage Hog’s shoulder keeping the man from wiggling out. He then turned so that his legs wrapped around Cage Hog’s neck and twisted. The only way Cage Hog would escape was to refuse submission and passed out or struggle and got his arm broken.

No referees. No rules. No Mercy.

Kyo knew as a fighter and a marine if a man said he surrendered, he was to give him the benefit of the doubt; you don’t lower your weapon till he lowered his but you still take his sayings into consideration. Cage Hog struggled until the last; until his arm snapped and he went limp. Kyo released him and backed away. The cage lifted, the crowd was moaning their disappointment in their golden boy and Kyo was simply aching to get out of the ring. As soon as he stepped from the ring, Danny was there with a large roll of cash, his clothes and his MP3 player. Kyo’s fingers closed over the money and Danny’s fingers. He yanked Danny into his sweat cover chest and whispered to him. “You forgot, Danny boy? David slew Goliath.”

SHIVER, Coming Out and CAGED!

2011-07-10T17:26:00.000-07:00

So it's finally here! My first Paranormal and yes its a short. I mean I had to start slow and build my way up. Now be nice, I have never really touched this genre before but it's always been something that I wanted to do. I mean who wouldn't want to? Ok so my story SHIVER is about what happens when Hera finally gets REALLY pissed off at her husband giving it to every other woman of every species and subspecies but her! Yeah, I know, a woman scorned indeed.

I loved the idea of mixing mythology with romance and erotica. Even thoug I don't know how people will like it, I had to do it. Carter and Ciro were just on the tip of my tongue begging to be written. Now if they do well, I JUST may write a story for Osaki (if you read the story you'll know who he is *purrs*) oh wait, I was blogging, ok so now I can focus. The blurb as to give a little background on the story and trust me when I say it wasn't easy to write. Sometimes I wish all I had to do was write the story, flail and scream happily at the cover then let the rest up to someone else lol. Anyways here's what the blurb is actually once I finally stopped ripping out my hair over it. Zeus, king of the gods, have a rather annoying habit of mating with those he shouldn’t. This time, he mated with Anemos, goddess of the storm winds. Hera, has finally had enough and cursed any off springs the two may have—this creates the Shivers. Now you can get the book at http://empirebookstore.com or you can just CLICK HERE.

Ciro Pyktis is the oldest of the Shivers and somewhere along the way he is tasked with protecting the humans from another hell Zeus has unleashed on them. But when one of the Shivers he must destroy is his own brother, Ciro knows his life is over. That is until Carter Olabasu.

Carter Olabasu has just admitted to his brother that he is gay. How in the world is he going to explain to his brother that he's in love with a Shiver? And how can he deny the heat and desire he feels for this very strange man?

Will he be able to love this man when he finds out what he is? And what about when everything comes full circle ?

Now about another story CAGED. Yes I know I've been harping on it and most of you have been waiting for over a year for it. But I FINALLY have a date for you. It's coming July 29, 2012....lol just kidding it's coming July 29, 2011. It's ready to go with the cover, edits and everything. So it won't be much longer. This story is dear to my heart, not unlike SHIVER. This story was written from a place of love and happiness. I was happiest when I was writing Kyu and Tyrone that is why I fought like hell to get it a good home. When I explained this to Delilah K Stephens, my oh so lovely cover artist, she took that and came back with this beautiful cover. Every time I look at it I feel my heart soar....ok ok enough of my gushing over how totally wonderful my Muse CA is...but she is amazing. My editor was as always wonderful. She took care of my baby as if it was hers and Carrie you're a dah-lin. But yes, it is coming and my patient Lady E and others can stop pouting at me with those big teary eyes lol. Don't worry I love you guys too lol. Anyways, here's the blurb. Kyo "Wings" Tsubasa has been fighting all his life; his father during training, his father's ghost, in two wars for his country and now he's fighting the demons left behind by a jerk of an ex-boyfriend. When he returns from Iraq to find that his fiancee had allowed their house to be foreclosed on, emptied his bank account and disappeared, Kyo was destroyed. He begins fighting in illegal cage matches at first to pay the bills, but after a while, he begins fighting more than just human opponents in that ring--now, he's fighting his demons.

Tyrone Swayby has been disappointing his father all his life. Tyrone did acting instead of football, business in university instead of Medicine and Tyrone is gay instead of straight. When his father retired and handed the family gym business to Tyrone, he thinks all is well, but every step he makes, his father is there to question him.

TO YOU: A Totally Untrue Story of Coming Out, came to me a while back but I didn't know what to do wit hit. At first I called it "Open Wide" but let's face it, that title was a BAD idea lol. So as I kept writing and thinking about it, the idea came to me. Its Interracial about a man name Mason Anderson, well the story started when he was 19 years old. It doesn't really follow his life--per say. It follows his love life and his sexual awakening to the fact that well, you know from reading the title. You can buy it by clicking HERE its a fun ready, I hope. Or copy and paste the following link into the browswer. http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/to-you-a-totally-untrue-story-of-coming-out/16222019

Oh here's the blurb:

Mason Anderson has everything—he is wealthy, with more money than he is used to, a sexy girlfriend and youth. At 19 years old, he could feel himself changing and his attraction to women is gone. The primal urges surging through his body is for the hard, tone flesh of men. As if starting to date the first time wasn’t hard enough—now Mason must face the fact that he is Gay and navigate the dating world all over again with the help of two amazing friends and a craving for a rather sexy—older police Captain.

EXCERPT

It has always been a wonderful thing, when a man could look in the mirror and know precisely who and what he is. In the same breath, it is maddeningly terrifying when he looks for himself in his own eyes and doesn’t recognize who or what he sees. It was like being stuck in a dark room filled with strangers all of them silently watching.

I was twenty one and scared out of my mind. I was dating girl any straight man would kill to have. I mean she was sexy, educated, talented and her body could bend in some positions that would put the Kama Sutra to shame. But for some reason, six months into our relationship I began losing interest. I liked her—a lot. That wasn’t the problem. The problem was I started going to the gym and instead of working out as hard as I used to, I would spend an hour on the treadmill staring at the guy beside me out of the corner of my eyes. If I was to be honest with myself, I had been doing that for years. But, let’s for argument’s sake say it recently began and go from there. When it started, I brushed it off as merely curiosity to see how long he could last on the machine. Then it was curiosity to see how long he would go without looking down at the controls. But it got worse. It had gotten so bad I could see myself hovering over him in bed, touching him in ways that was foreign to my mind with a man. But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t stop my mind from going to that place. There was just something about his sweat covered body that made my mouth water—that made my body tingle in a certain way that felt so right. Once I realized I was doing it again; drooling over his flexing physique, I hopped astride the moving part of the treadmill and stopped it before climbing off.

Suddenly, I felt ill. But the truth was I couldn’t look away. My breathing became quick bursts of air leaving my body faster and faster as my heart hammered inside my chest. My palms were covered in sweat and I couldn’t wipe my forehead with my towel fast enough before more sweat littered my face. Pressing my eyes closed for a moment, I took a breath and reopened them. This time I turned my whole body away from him. I hurried down the steps to the second level of the gym, dodged a sweaty woman puffing toward an elliptical machine and barged into the men’s room. That did not help for two half naked, muscular men came walking toward me talking to each other. They probably didn’t even notice I was there but I noticed them—good heavens how I noticed them.

They both had white towels wrapped around their hips with muscles dipping beneath the offending material. It was shocking, how angry I was at the piece of cloth blocking their private areas from my eyes. Strange since I had never seen another man naked before for during high school I refused to shower with the others. So I’d never seen a man completely in the nude—except myself. It wasn’t like I turn myself on so why was I so desperate to see these men fully naked?

The man on the right had black hair and serious blue eyes…good looking but I didn’t really feel it for him as much. From time to time he nodded and a small smile would break his large, succulent lips. But as soon as it appeared, the mirth was gone again like a smoke in the wind. He was built like a swimmer, every muscle pronounced on his slender frame which didn’t quite match his lips but good looking nonetheless.

The man on the left was blond, with green eyes and a bit more muscles. This one I felt more for. He looked as though he’d been building for quite some time. He was handsome with large hands and long fingers. I licked my lips and that took away the little focus I had on where I was going. I crashed into Blondie. Muttering an apology, I hastened into a nearby stall and slammed the door closed. Pressing my back into the closed door, I clamped my eyes shut trying to stop the flashing images in my head; the way manly bodies would flow over each other with deep caresses. All I could see was gasping mouths releasing sounds of pure pleasure, fingers tangling with each other, hearts pounding causing me to clutch my head and bite back a moan.

What was the matter with me?

My chest heaved painfully and my knees trembled. I felt as if I didn’t sit on the toilet seat I would topple over in the confined space. I sat on the toilet and bent forward sticking my face between my knees. It was my crazy attempt at slowing my breathing. How could the travel industry think that position would help in the case of an emergency? I was in an emergency and it didn’t work. It simply pressed my aroused nipples into my thighs sending shockwaves of desire through my body. I bolted upright and stared down, wide-eyed at the bulge in the front of my pants.

“This is not happening,” I whispered. “Please, no this is not happening!”

The Brothers are At it Again

2011-06-17T06:00:00.000-07:00

In Rajan's Living room.

Laird: Guess what I heard the other day?

Jamal: You know I'm not good at this game. Just tell us already.

Laird: (looks over at Jamal before tossing a cushion at him) Stop mellowing my buzz man.

Savaro: *Groans* Oi, you been on the cheap stuff again?

Rajan: What did you hear?

Laird: *sighs* Kill joys...well, Remmy's birthday is coming up.

Jamal: *looks around shiftily* did anyone get him a present?

Savaro: Crap! We probably should.

Rajan: and he's in the middle of writing my story!

Laird: Lucky, he hasn't started mine yet!

Jamal: *shakes his head* Do you think he's that petty? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't just stop writing your stories because you didn't get him something for his birthday...

Laird: Speak for yourself! Your story is finished *folds arms* What would a writer want thought?

Savaro: *Lounges back* I don't know but you'd better figure it out soon. You have *glances at watch* zero more sleeps.

Rajan: *looks at Savaro with an arched brow* Really? Zero more sleeps?

Jamal: When you have kids, you start talking to everyone like you're talking to them.

Laird: *paces living room floor.* My story hasn't even been planned yet...so to speak...He's still confused of what job to give me and what kind of man I get.

Rajan: *does a pelvic thrust* I get me a sexy, chocolate, SWAT man....*stops to purr at Laird*

Laird: Ass! *smacks Rajan*

Rajan: *rubbing arm*

Savaro: Seriously guys--We're getting old you know...We all are. I mean remember that day I came back and told you guys we had a father? We were teenagers then.

Jamal: But sooner or later we all have to grow up in one way or another. But you're right *he kisses Savaro's head* We are long past those days...

Rajan: I know what you mean. The other day I was looking into the mirror, thought I saw a grey hair and my heart this this strange, painful flip. I don't know why we're so afraid of getting old.

Laird: I know why I'm afraid of getting old--I'm alone at thirty three. Getting old is so much more scarier when you're alone.

Jamal: *Blinks and look around* You're not alone. What are we? chopped liver?

Laird: Damn it Jamal! you know what I mean.

Announcement - Sons of Eros 1

2011-06-07T14:23:00.000-07:00

Hello all,
it is with great pleasure that I announce that SONS OF EROS Book 1: Savaro's Honey Buns has been accepted by Silver Publishing! I am hard at work on Book two (who's title keeps changing btw lol). I'm totally doing backflips. In celebration I present to you a rather beautiful video *grins*

Love By Nhojj

It's that time again...

2011-05-09T06:27:00.000-07:00

Dude, so the other day I sat at home, throwing up everything I've ever eaten and it hit me *hits forehead* It's that time of year again! What time you ask? The time of year where I look at my works in progress list and frown then see what works I have to finish this year. Now the list is long...I mean REALLY long so here's what I have to finish this year.

DARE - Byron Simpson wants to learn how to make websites. In order to do that, he has to take some classes at the local university. He doesn't really need the money, but it would keep him busy and away from the toxic relationships he always seem to find himself in. When he walks in late and sees the ubersexy nerd who is supposed to be his prof, Byron wants more--but the straight-laced Christopher LePage doesn't want to play...that is until a very juevenile game of truth or dare...

Christopher LePage has had to fight for everything all his life. And he is not about to let because some sexy, ebony stud, shake his beautiful ass before his eyes and cause him to lose everything. But how is he supposed to resist Byron...He has to play by the rules of truth and dare...

Sons of Eros - Rajan - So the title on this one keeps changing but it's book two of the SON's of Eros series. I've had to do three rewrites on this one so far so I don't have a working blurb because it already feels like I have to change it again.

Sons of Eros - Laird's Seduction - The title on this one is changing as well and so will the blurb (sigh).

Those are the stories I have to finish this year. I am not sure about xmas stories but who knows. I have a short coming soon from Empire Bookstore called "SHIVER" It's a paranormal short and I even created a being to go with it. I am hoping its a fun little read.

Hugs,
Remmy D

Country Soul in Print!

2011-04-28T06:56:00.000-07:00

So I woke up this morning, dreading going to work. Why? Aside from the fact that I detest the EDJ, it was raining like MAD outside. Am talking forget about Cats and Dogs, am talking crazy rain! And the worse part was? It was windy! I almost got blown away. Some guy walking by had to grab me!

So, I managed to crawl out of bed, shower, haul pants on (to my horror, I mean pants are for chumps!) and manage to gather breakfast, lunch and waddled out the door. At work, I slipped into my anti social mode and checked ma emails.

That is when I saw a letter from my lovely cover artist, Reese Dante, who told me the good news! Country Soul is going into print 04/30/11! That's in a few days! This is amazing news for me! I was flailing and giggling and just being a nerd but I couldn't help it. So now am a giggling mess!!!

Ok, This giggling mess has to go back to work!

STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART!

2011-03-27T09:30:00.000-07:00

So I made the mistake of fan girl screaming over facebook but I shall try not to do that again. *Clears throat* Straight Through the Heart is now available at the DARE Empire Bookstore!! And you know what else? Those wonderful, smexy people made me a kick azz trailer!!! Ok ok, so here's a blurb.

Ash Archibald wakes up one morning to find his best friend gone. This sends his heart into a spiral of confusion, pain, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. A year later, Ash allows his sister to talk him into going after Keith, not as a lover but to get some closure.

Keith Hudson is Jamaican and in his family he can be anything he wants--a drug dealer, a university drop-out--anything but the biggest taboo--gay. In the time he all but ran away from Canada to his own little paradise on the island of Jamaica, Keith became a shadow of his former self, a recluse, living on a private estate on the small island. When Ash shows up at his door, Keith now has to face the anger of a best friend scorned and the possibility that he could lose his family forever.

So visit the Dare Empire Bookstore and get your hot little hands on this tale--oh and while you're there? Savannah Chase has a rather sexy morsel there too called Tast of Passion.

Rajan--Blowing off Steam

2011-03-04T12:11:00.000-08:00

Laird (dressed in a business suit walks into the posh living room of Rajan's house while tugging at his tie):I'm here before Savaro and Jamal? Where are they?

Rajan: That a rhetorical question?

Laird: How do they find time to fool around with a kid in the house?

Rajan: It's called a quickie in the morning, on the counter during the day and at nights they get me to baby-sit.

Laird (flops into chair and toss his tie across the room): Well, if you can get it...I guess.

Rajan: Hey! Were you raised by a bear?

Laird (shrugs)

Savaro and Jamal walks into room.

Laird: Don't you guys know you'll go blind if you keep doing it so much?

Jamal: Don't hate the player man, hate the game!

Savaro: I believe that only works with masturbation.

Jamal (chuckles): You guys are in a mood aren't you?

Rajan: I'm still waiting for my story. Remmy-kins here is taking his own sweet time. I mean am stuck at chapter two! (bats Jamal's hand away from the pile of cookies on the centre table but Jamal still swipes one). And to make matters worse! He keeps eyeing the sexy marines from King Cobras!

Laird: Oh boy! Not good. Who wants a beer!

Jamal: Whoa! Did you just called him Remmy-kins?

Remmy: Remmy-kins? (heads desk) Oh for fuck's sakes not you too!

Rajan: Beer? Am freaking out here!

Savaro: You're just being a drama-king. I'm sure he will get to it.

Remmy (waves hand): I'll take a beer!

Jamal: Savaro is right, Raj. Just don't freak out and drive the poor guy nuts. He has enough on his plate as is. Anyways, (kisses Savaro, fist bumps Laird and hugs Rajan) I have to go pick up the boy.

Rajan (mutters under breath): Says the man who gets laid like it's going out of fashion.

Jamal: Jerk (smirks and exits room).

Rajan: The jerk store called! They're running out of you! (sits back looking all smug).

Laird and Savaro arches their brows at him.

Rajan: What? It worked for George Costanza.

Savaro (laughs): No it didn't. But don't worry Raj. I've seen the man Remmy has for you and he's smokin'

Rajan: What??? Where?? How'd you see him before I did?

Savaro: It's call payback baby! (does pelvic thrust) Boo-yaw! You two knew who Jamal was before I did.

Laird (getting up): Not my fault your basket ball-ie-challenged. Seriously, does anyone wants a beer?

Rajan: I'll take one.

Savaro: Me too.

Laird leaves room while pushing his jacket off.

Rajan: So, I'm surprised you can walk straight. Jamal isn't exactly a small boy.

Savaro (smirks): In more ways than one!

Rajan: Oh for crying out loud...

Remmy: I have to say, Raj, you did walk into that one. But seriously, don't worry about it. I'm working as hard as I can on everything all at once. I'll take time to work on your story before my little get away.

Rajan: Whoa! Wait a minute--get away? Again? Didn't you just go away?

Savaro: I'd go away too if I could! But with upcoming parent teacher nights, Anatolis and Dad talking about dating again--am pretty much stuck here with y'all and your dramas.

Remmy: Oi vey!

Laird (walks into room and hands out beers): POINT!

Remmy: You can't point me! This is my blog!

Laird: Sure I can!

Remmy: You boys make my head hurt!

Rajan (rushes to sit beside Remmy): You know what they say is good for that, don't you?

Remmy (Groans): Fine, I'll make you get laid...just stop playing a bongo in my head.

Rajan (smirks): awww-right! (dances around the room).

Savaro (rubs temples): Now I'm starting to get a headache. Ok, listen. If you guys are finished, I would like to take you out to dinner. Jamal and Leroy will meet us there. And I'm going to try getting Dad over there.

Laird: Leave dad alone tonight. He said something about an Annette he met at the dinner two weeks ago. So chances are he'll be gettin' his groove on!

Remmy (Bangs head on desk over and over muttering...): TMI! TMI! TIM!

Rajan: Remmy's in denial!

Remmy: You take that back!

Laird: Would you two knock it off? We both know this will only end in Rajan's tears.

Rajan: De-nial! De-Nial!

Remmy: Ok, time to tune out and start working on King Cobras!

Rajan: NO! I take it back!

Remmy: HA! Works every time!

The Sex Museum giggles

2011-02-28T15:21:00.000-08:00

Sexapolooza 2011 for Toronto is over! But I was there! It was amazing, amazing, amazing! I was so excited to go to this because lets face it, people around, everyday tend to be so boring and so taboo about sex that being tossed into a large wharehouse shaped building with nothing but sex and the like for a few hours (snickers) was tons of fun...it had to be right?
Ok, so I went with some friends (going alone would just be a tad strange...) and walking in the door, you're engulfed in a world of sex--everything to do with sex. For crying out loud there was a dungeon with a lady all tied up walking around with her boobs hanging out! That was fun. We weren't allowed to take any pictures in there for obvious reasons--one lady told me she was a teacher so I guess that would explain it all. There was a lady tied to this thing with a lady dressed in leather spanking her with this strange looking whip...Anyways moving on to the museum.

But aside fromthe toys and the people, I was stunned by a few things. First and foremost there was a sex museum. When we went inside there was some history: of porn, really-yes my friends porn, has a history! There was history of Playboy and Penthouse as well as some really funny laws. In one state, it was illegal for a man and his wife to fall asleep naked in a rented room. I joked that if a man was going to fall asleep naked in a rented room she'd better be his mistress! Ah, I slay me sometimes.

Another law said a woman cannot walk on a beach in a swimsuit without being escorted by an officer or armed with a club! But the one that got me was this one-- In Minnesota "it is illegal for a husband to make love to his wife if his breath smells like garlic, onions or sardines. She can by law, force her husband to brush his teeth." I kid you not! I even have the picture to prove it! It was so funny I just had to take a picture of it.

Anyways,

we had tons of fun and will totally go back next year!

Hugs,

Remmy D

Oh and PS: COUNTRY SOUL will hit stores March 5...that's this saturday!

Discount is over :(

2011-02-17T05:40:00.000-08:00

To all those who stopped by to celebrate Valentine's Day with me and made use of the discount on MY BROKEN VALENTINE, thank to so very much! The discount was my way of wishing all you love birds a happy day. Actually, the discount was on longer than I intended but no worries--I'm happy for it.

I've gotten some feedback on the story and so far so good *crosses fingers, toes and eyes* Thanks for that.

As you, who have read it, know, this story is way different than anything I've ever done adn it touches on a subject that I am an advocate against. I just figured, if I am going to write, at least sometimes, I have to try and make a difference, right?

Anyways, I am going to go back to sitting in the dark at work now...*frowns*

My Brand SPANKING new Trailer!!!

2011-02-14T06:32:00.000-08:00

So here's my new trailer!! I am so happy with it!

I HATE WINTER!!!

2011-02-12T12:39:00.000-08:00

Hey all!

How is the winter treating you? As many of you know I live in Toronto and believe me when I say I will be HAPPY when this winter is over. I mean at least three days in a row it was -17 and with the windchill it dropped even further to about -34. That was a good day (ick). This morning we had blowing snow with a windchill that froze as soon as you stick your head out the door.

Before that we got dumped on it was just strange...but you know the bad thing? We've had worse! Isn't that great? One year we had so much snow that our mayor called the military to dig us out. This lady that lived down the street from me parked her smart car outside--you know those tiny ones? Well she parked it outside and couldn't find it until the city thawed out. I was lauging so hard I almost peed myself. I know, I know, it's evil but it was funny. Why would you park such a small car outside when you know a storm is coming?

Anyways, away from old man winter--Update on my SONS OF EROS series. I am finished with the first book, SAVARO'S HONEY CAKES and well, I probably should edit it at some point. I don't know where I'll be submitting it yet but we shall see. I am 1K into RAJAN'S WARRIOR so I am steaming along. I had to stop writing it though because I volunteered for a charity anthology. Can't tell you much about that yet because I haven't been given the green light to but my short story BROKEN will be in it! *dances*

Now, I am trying to figure out if I want to switch series and WORK on KING COBRAS book one. Not sure if that will work yet. So I have the first story planned....here goes....Book one: First Son

The president's very spoil and very in the closet son goes on a vacation on the small island of Biru and vanishes. Rumor has it, Chad McMillan had gone to the island paradise for a rendenvous with a mysterious male stranger. To keep it under wraps, the presendent's security team brings in the King Cobras a group of elite soldiers now retired.

The moment Captain Luke Draven hears about the mission he hates it. He hates it because Biru isn't the easiest place to navigate--especially with all jungles there. But he allows himself to be talked into going. The moment he touches down and he meets Chad McMillan, he wants the man dead. But a mission is a msission and he is honour bound to get Chad home--that is if their sexual frustrations doesn't kill them first.
Chad McMillan is used to getting everything he wants--now all he wants is the sexy captain in camo. But Luke isn't into it and Chad tries hard to be a better man. But no matter what he does, he manages to get on Luke's nerves. What is he to do when his heart betrays him and everyone wants him dead?

KING COBRAS I want to be so cool *flails* I know I'm being a nerd about it but so excited. But I was told to finish the EROS series first. My friend says I have ADD because I keep bouncing from one project to another but who can help it? It's creating a brand new story!! lol.

As for other stories...let me see...CAGED is due out later this year and COUNTRY SOUL is coming next month. Tomorrow (Day before valentine's) MY BROKEN VALENTINE's go live! I am so excited about it because I've never written anything like that before. "A confession, leads to a broken heart. But there are darker human emotions at work...ones that can break a man..." I know I am probably going to catch hell from certain people because it's not one of those sappy stories. I don't do sappy very well. But I would like a favor. Could you guys please please please review it in my guest book after reading it? I would really like to know what people think of it.

Anyways, I am at work *hehe*

Hugs,
Remmy D

COUNTRY SOUL--wooh babeh!--oh right...and other stuffage....yeah...

2011-01-14T06:51:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I checked my email and look what was in it!!! The new face for COUNTRY SOUL, coming March 5, 2011!! I spent most of my day yesterday silently flailing and muffling squeals of joy and the moment I got the OK I posted it on my facebook and website *grins*

Reese Dante, the genius--created this cover and it's precisely what I wanted it to look like. It's like she was reading my mind!

A few people have been asking me why this isn't interracial. Well, it is interracial, Jackson (the country singer) is Caucasian and Marques, (the producer) is Hispanic. So just because their skin colours look the same, doesn't mean they are. So with that out of the way, here's the blurb (as it stands before Silver Publishing edits or changes it)

BLURB:
Jackson Rawlings loves music; in fact, making music has been something he's always wanted to do. After his confession to homosexuality, his record label forced him out and after his latest world tour, he decided to give it all up. It breaks his heart to think of never doing music again but he just feels so broken.

Marques Lopez is a music exec who knows a good thing and a good man when he hears and sees them; and boy is Jackson Rawlings a good thing. But how is he supposed to put Jackson together again when he's been broken so many times?

So that's the blurb. I can't give you guys a peek in because my publisher hasn't picked an excerpt yet--or rather I don't remember picking an excerpt for it yet. So I have to wait. But here's hoping it's all sexy and romantic for you guys.

Ok, moving on. I am 12K into SAVARO'S HONEY BUNS for my SONS OF EROS series. It's coming great but the thing is I have this pesky little thing call a Day Job and I can't finish writing my love scene at work. I have nosey people here lol. So, instead, I'm going to write it later on tonight--if I can keep my eyes open since I don't get another day off until next week Tuesday ugh...anyways that's where that is.

Hugs,
Remny

My Broken Valentine

By

Remmy Duchene

Prologue

The night over Laval was glorious. The moon, like a beautiful pie in the sky, was flanked by large, bright stars. The trees danced slightly in the breeze—perfect breeze. From the trees near-by the sound of insects could be hears along with the soft flow of water. The fire crackled sending small sparks upward and illuminating the two teenagers as they sit beside each other in a strange kind of silence. Their hands were clasp in their laps, heads bowed and knees pressed shut.

“I probably shouldn’t have said that,” David whispered. “But I couldn’t keep it in anymore. I tried—I really did…Chase please. Say something.”

When his friend still didn’t reply, David reached a hand to Chase’s shoulder. Chase jerked away as if he’d been slapped.

“Jesus! Chase!” David’s voice cracked slightly. “All I said was that I loved you! There’s no reason to—”

“Don’t say that!” Chase snapped. Getting up, glaring at David. “Don’t you ever fucking say that again!” He backed away slowly.

“Chase…”

“I-I can’t deal with this. I can’t…” he trailed off and took of running through the trees.

David sat there, staring after his friend. He knew he’d lost his best friend but he truly didn’t think Chase would react like that. He bowed his head, staring into the fire, trying to wrap his brain around what had happened. Chase was gay—he’d admitted to that years ago. Then what was the problem?

Even after David snuggled alone in his sleeping bag later that night, he still hadn’t figured it out. But as the sun rose for morning, an exhausted David found his answer in the ripples of a near by stream—David wasn’t good enough for Chase’s wealthy. The thought slammed into him like a truck. He gasped for air and remained where he was until the sun began going down again. He packed both his and Chase’s things and lugged them the Gentle C ranch. Knocking on the front door, David waited.

“Morning Dave,” Mr. Dupré opened the door. “You here to see Chase?”

David nodded.

“I’m sorry, but he’s gone.”

“Gone? Where?”

Chase’s father blinked like he was holding back some tears. “Paris. He got into that fancy university he’s always been talking about.”

The truth was, David had never heard Chase said anything about leaving—ever. His plan was to go to the university one town over so he could stay in Laval; which meant Chase had been planning to leave for at least a year and said nothing to him about it. Nodding, David staggered from the front porch, leaving everything behind. Arnold Dupré yelled after him but he couldn’t seem to stop himself for what little brain power he had left was used to carry him home. He rushed by his mother and fell face first onto his bed. Tears—actual tears flowed down his cheeks. He hadn’t cried over anything since he was about five and his father died. He buried his face into his pillow.

“Davie?” his mother’s soft voice called but he didn’t move.

He felt even worse when she walked in and sat down on the side of his bed.

“Dave? Arnold Dupré just called. He said you left your stuff over at the Gentle C…said he was worried because you didn’t take some news well.”

Still he didn’t move until she reached a hand out and caressed his head. He lited his face then and saw it the moment his mother’s face changed. He cried harder and flew into her arms. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and sighed when she finally held him back.

“He’s gone mom,” David sobbed. “I told him and he’s gone.”

“Oh Sweetie.” She caressed his head. “Arnold told me Chase left for Paris—but he’ll be back…right?”

David lifted his head to look at his mother and shook his head. “I don’t think so. He didn’t even tell me he was planning on leaving. I was his best friend and he said nothing. Trust me mom, he has no plans on coming back because I disgusted him. He couldn’t even look at me. I touched his shoulder and it was almost like he couldn’t stand the thought of me.”

“I’m sure that wasn’t it—it couldn’t be. You two have been friends since you were in diapers.”

“Well, you weren’t there, Mom. You didn’t see what he did. He took off so fast you would think I told him I wanted to elope and have two point five kids.”

“But you do want to elope and have two point five kids,” she said in a soft voice.

David looked up at her to see that she was smiling at him and couldn’t help the mirth that played about his lips.

“See? That wasn’t so hard, was it? Now come on. I picked up some fish at the market yesterday. I’ll fry them with some festivals and we can have dinner in the sunroom. It’ll make you feel better.”

David didn’t see how, but he knew his mother. She was determine, especially when it came to him and his well being. He nodded just to see a smile pass over her features, hugged her again and released her.

“One day mom,” David whispered hugging her once more. “I’ll get you a real sunroom. You’ll see.”

“I know sweetie.” She caressed his face. “I know.”

After she left him, a framed picture caught his eyes. It was of him and Chase—the two had their arms wrapped around each others shoulders, dressed in tuxedos and had the biggest grins on their faces. It was taken only a year before at his mother’s graduation from university. He thought they were happy but that picture just spoke of the lie that had been happening ever since then. Anger surged through him and he charged down the stairs, breezed by his mother and grabbed a couple of black garbage bags. Climbing the stairs again, he slammed his door behind him and proceeded to dump everything and anything that reminded him or Chase or had anything to do with Chase. Trophies, books, CDs, ribbons, even the one of a kind AC/DC poster Chase had designed for his birthday was a victim of the purge. By the time David stopped, the first bag was so heavy, he knew there was no way he’d be able to bring it down the stairs.

Opening the glass doors of his room, he tied the mouth of the bag, rolled it forward and shoved it out. He watched with a strange sense of satisfaction as the black blob hurtled downward and smashed into the ground with a terrifying crash.

“David!” his mother hollered up the stairs. He could hear worry in her voice.

“I’m fine mom!” he opened his bedroom door and replied. “Just—Chase cleaning.”

The delicious scent of Jamaican fried fish greeted him. A smile passed over his lips before he closed the door returning his attention to his room

Cleansing is good.

Straight Through the Heart - My new Cover!!

2011-01-05T09:41:00.000-08:00

When I started writing STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART I all but gave up on writing it. It was too much for me. I started, stopped, started again, stopped until I heard about DARE Empire. A few people pushed me along.

I submitted to DARE Empire and check out the cover!! It is so sexy I can't stop grinning. So just thought I'd show off my new cover.

*hugs*

A few Changes this way comes....

2010-12-29T09:57:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone!

Hope your holidays were marvelous! This blog may be a little on the long side but it's worth it. I am sure most of you have read a few of my newer titles and has noticed there has been some change or another about my writing. Perhaps you've read the blurb for COUNTRY SOUL or my new series SONS OF EROS and wondered about the new, sensual almost romantic twist my writing has taken on. Now, the change has nothing to do with you guys, my readers, because you are too cool, it's more of a feel really.

The truth is, every year I've gained more and more friends from the GLBTTQ community (the extra T is for two-spirit). Anyways, they seem to lean towards the more, sensual kind of read rather than the harsh, in your face all the time kind of read. The truth is the older I get the more romance I seem to crave in my life and this is to gear towards what I feel sometimes. COUNTRY SOUL is my first REAL attempt at writing something that is heartfelt. I took great pains in writing it a certain way. While I'll never leave my erotic writings behind, I try to blend them from time to time but over the next little while, you may see something completely sweet or completely erotic. Don't freak out, I haven't gone that crazy....YET...just testing the waters and see what my feelings spit out.

December has been kind of torture for me, and I still have a few days left. I stopped writing (though not completely) but stopped writing enough to be tortured. I was taking a break off writing. But in the back of my mind I still have to finish three stories for UNCUT the anthology, MY BROKEN VALENTINE, and begin SONS OF EROS. In the coming year, I will learn to pace myself and not push too too hard. I mean, I pushed my body like crazy at the end of this year and wound up sick. Don't want to go through that again.

In the new year I have a few releases to tell you about. COUNTRY SOUL first and foremost will be coming to Silver Publishing. Right now the tentative release date is March 5, 2011. CAGED is another one, due to be released in March or April (I think) to MuseItHot Publishing. UNCUT I am hoping to have ready by late Feb or early March. No promises since I am working on it solo. MY BROKEN VALENTINE is due out by Feb 13th in time for Valentine's day *crosses fingers*

Also, in the new year, AFTER I finish the scheduled WIP, I am hoping to delve into other cultures. Last year it was Asian, this year (2011) I am hoping to slip a little deeper into Native Indian and some Polynesian cultures. Not sure yet but we shall see.

2011 I shall be guest blogging around the place. Please stay tuned for where I shall be next and stop by and support me and the author hosting me. It would be appreciated.

Anyways, I was talked into working the day before my vacation starts *boooooo* but its money!

hugs,
Remmy D

I Think I Figured it Out

2010-12-22T08:46:00.000-08:00

This post may have some profanities to erm, you were warned.

I am a very observant person. I can sit silently in a room full of people and say nothing to anyone. It's not that I'm being rude or anti social, but that is the best way to see the way people really think. I work with a lot of young girls (well I'm twenty seven so yeah they are around my age and a bit youngeer). But when it is quiet, they all yell their conversation across the room at each other. And sometimes it makes me sick. Anyways what I figure out is why most straight men are so fucked up.

So I was at work, hacking up a long, I just couldn't stop coughing. Between that I could hear pieces of this girl's conversation.

First girl: So which one of these guys is your boyfriend?
Second girl: Boyfriend? You're funny. Please I dont have time for that. If I want food, I call this one, if I want sex I call this one, I have a different one or my different needs.

It dawned on me then. Most guys are good. They were raised by wonderful parents who loved and taught them well. Then they come across girls like these and everything go downhill from there. These girsl take them and use them, and twisted them in so many circles and drama that when the smoke clears, all they want to do is kill...all they want to do is go out there and hurt someone the way they've been hurt.

Is it now on us to teach our girls that being a slut doesn't pay off? I don't know but sometimes I truly think our children are going to hell

*Sigh*
Remmy D

Sooooo Sick....

2010-12-20T08:03:00.000-08:00

So I haven't posted here in a while, and I figured now is a good time as any to actually get some writing done here. I know, I should be on a break but there was no saying that I couldn't blog, right? Anyways, so yesterday I felt my throat bothering me...It got sore in the evening and then by the time night fall came, my skin was burning up and I couldn't stop shivering. So I wrapped my neck in a scarf, guzzled some Benylin and crawled into bed. Even though my skin was hot, I had a horrible fever, I was cold so I had to force myself to keep the heat on. I turned it down but didn't turn it off.

curled into a ball, told my guys on FB good night and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I woke up again at 1AM, took some more meds and went back to sleep. But I kept waking up, tossing and turning and every muscle in my body throbbed.

It's a horrid thing to be sick--and to make it worse! I had to go to work in the morning. Now am sitting at work, my neck wrapped in a blue scarf, a gree shawl wrapped around my shoulders and wearing a turtle-neck and a sweater. My throat hurt so bad, it took me almost an hour to eat a bagel, and I keep popping halls and halls vitamin C. *sigh*

*hugs*

Spankin' Santa

2010-11-10T16:19:00.000-08:00

NOW AVAILABLE BY CLICKING HERE!

Spankin' Santa is my Christmas release! I adore the cover Kato Rain made me! It will be out December 1, 2010, in time to relax with! Pick it up as well as many other hot titles at Red Eclipse Writers! Find Christmas Cheer from last Christmas as well as titles from my friend Jaxx Steele!

Blurb: The only reason Kolby is Christmas shopping is because of his family--otherwise, if it was up to him, he would spend Christmas with Mr. BudWieser and re-runs of A Christmas Carol. Finding himself in the mall, he is given a proposition from Santa that he cannot possibly refuse!

EXCERPT # 1

Kolby James stood inside the entrance and stared at the madness around him. Decorations hung off everything but the light fixtures. A giant Christmas tree along with Santa’s castle stood in the centre with people making a mad dash all around. Politically correct Christmas carols blared from unseen speakers along with the rumble of mall workers spreading fake good cheer.

Kolby hated Christmas and malls during Christmas. If it was up to him, he’d stay at home with a bottle or two of beer and reruns of A Beautiful life and A Christmas Story. But with a family of two brothers, two sisters-in-laws and two feisty nieces along with a best friend who can’t take no for an answer, what he want didn’t matter. He managed to unglue himself from where he was standing and moved forward.

First he shopped for Daniella and Isabella, his darling nieces. They were at the age where dolls were their worlds. He then went to shop for his best friend—who wasn’t hard, a couple of bottles of wine. The wine shopping didn’t go well. There were long lines in the liquor store and one hour later, Kolby was in a bad mood walking from the store when someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Turning, he was surprised to see a santa clause with dark skin peeking from beneath his white beard standing there. “Can I help you?”

“Have you been a bad boy this year?” Santa questioned.

Kobly fought the urge to roll his eyes like an insolent child. “You do realize that I am a grown-ass man? I hate to burst your bubble, Santa, but I don’t believe in you.”

The man laughed. “I’m not that kinda Santa.”

EXCERPT # 2

Watching Santa undo one button after another was hot—but when Santa pushed the sides of his shirt out of the way, along with the stuffing to give him the Santa belly, all that remained was ripped, toned, chocolate abs. Kolby’s mouth watered. Next to go were the pants and the socks but Santa kept his beard and hat on. The large ebony dick that now stood at proud attention before him was one of medal standards. It deserved to be sucked, fucked, worshipped. How could a man with a dick that delicious looking be single? It wasn’t possible.

“Turn around,” Kolby told him. “Let me see your ass.”

Once more, Santa did as he requested and Kolby just about swallowed his tongue. Santa was well endowed in more ways than one. His ass, a perfectly, rounded bubble ass stood out magnificently. It took everything in him not to reach forward and slammed his tongue between those cheeks.

“Now reach back and spread them open for me,” Kolby managed.

As though in slow motion, Santa complied.

“How do you feel about a spanking, Santa?” Kolby questioned, jerking his own cock and massing his balls.

http://lulu.com/red_eclipse_writers

Terrence Rollens ran when sexy, older, rancher Paul Grady Donahue made his intentions known--Paul wanted Terrence in the worse way but Terrence wasn't sure that was for him. Five years later, Terrence is more mature and realizes the mistake he made and aims to rectify it.

When he returns to Junction, Paul has change--he is harder, angrier and now has a scar down one side of his face. Can Terrence help Paul heal? Or is he a little too late to get on that ride?

EXCERPT

With a shake of his head, he grabbed the script along with a pen and descended the stairs to the kitchen. He grabbed a warm glass of milk instead of coffee and sat down to read the script and prepare himself. But no amount of trying to focus helped. Suddenly he had a decision to make and he didn’t like it.

His cell phone beeped and he grabbed it thankful for the distraction.

Hey Terry, call me!
Terrence frowned at the text message. He hadn’t allowed anyone to call him Terry for that was the name Paul used when they were in bed. It was the name Paul screamed when his orgasm was cursing through his body and curling his toes. But he hadn’t explained that to Mark, his best friend since arriving in New York. He hadn’t explained it to anyone. Each time Mark called him Terry, Terrence would feel a sliver of pain dance through him. Feeling too lazy and defeated to walk to his phone, he dialled Mark from his cell.

“Hey, Terry.” Mark greeted happily. “Listen, big party tonight first of all, you in?”

“Dude do you realise what time it is?” Terrence questioned peering at the clock.

“You know me, early to bed, early to rise.”

“Too bad that only made you wealthy not wise.”

“Ha! Funny—so you in or not? I want to give you plenty of time so you can’t back out at the last minute like you normally do.”

Terrence opened his mouth to say he wasn’t going to a party, that he didn’t want to party. He wanted to tell Mark that all he wanted at that very moment was to go back in time to that night when all Paul wanted to do was love him.

“I’ll be there.” Terrence found himself saying. “But I film until about eight.”

“Aight.” Mark jargoned. “I’ll swing by your place at about ten-ish.”

“Alright.”

“And Terry?”

Terrence cringed. “Yeah?”

“Please be ready?”

“Yeah.”

Terrence hung up.

“Come on, Terry. Smile for me.”

“I don’t feel like smiling right now, Grady. I’m pretty pissed off at you at the moment.”

“Alright, then how about I make you feel like screaming?”

“I love it when you make me scream.”

“Well, baby, your wish is my command.”

I feel CAGED in a good way!

2010-10-10T06:29:00.000-07:00

So, the first publishing house I sent CAGED to told me they would take it if I changed Kyo from Japanese to Caucasian. The second house well, they wanted it but they wanted to take the rights for it for eight years--eight years! Didn't know if I was cool with that, and the next house--well it was painful. Now CAGED is coming next year to MuseItHot Publishing!!

This, is my beautiful covers that Ms. Delilah Stephens did! I absolutely love it! It captures everything I wanted it to. And it has my very sexy Japanese cage fighter on the cover so I am a very happy camper!

I now have to be patient and wait for the release date that is tentatively set for March of 2011...It's going to be a long wait....

I am very proud of CAGED. It's my first attempt at putting some serious drama and love into a story. It's a work of love for me and I hope you all enjoy reading it.

Now, I am woring on a few projects that I hope will finish well. I am working on a Christmas story titled SPANKIN' SANTA. So far, its coming out well and fun. I want it to be a hot, hot, hot, oh yeah and hot fun read. It won't be a literary masterpiece--that is NOT the point. The point is to have a fun sexy read just for the sake of a fun sexy read.

I am still working on COUNTRY SOUL, it's coming slowly but hopefully I'll be finish and into edits by the end of the year because I do plan on doing Nanowrimo this year. It's only a couple of weeks from now and I really have NO idea what I'm going to do.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

R.I.P Tyler Clementi

2010-10-01T16:49:00.000-07:00

Every day, I wake up and I go about my way and I try not to think of how evil we can be to each other. I am always a loud speaker when it comes to other people's right to live and be who they are. Hence the reason I write m/m romance. I wanted the world to see gay men as sensual, loving creatures who can love and feel just like heteros. But every day, I see that I may be fighting a losing battle.

Today, as I watch the news, which I rarely do because watching the news breaks my heart each time I do...today was no different. I hear about this kid, Tyler Clementi who killed himself all because his room-mates thought it was a bright idea to out the kid through a live broadcast while he has sex with a lover. I mean where the hell do they get off? I mean not only is this a total invasion of privacy it's disgusting! Why would you go out of your way to do somethign like this to someone who's probably struggling with the fact that he's gay? This completely tore this man's life apart and he felt he had to die to make it stop.

There is no reason to explain the senseless stupidity that happened to this young man. All because others believed he should be broken. Now he's gone and they will simply get a slap on the wrist? It is pathetic when we go out of our way to make another human being feel small--it is sad when we go out of our way to destroy our brothers and sisters. Please, how many more of our children, brothers, sisters--people we love--have to die before we realise that alienating GLBTTQ individual is going to destroy us all?

It takes very little to love someone and if you can't agree with their lifestyle or what they are, then WALK AWAY. Do not spend your time tearing the person down. Do NOT spend your tying making your duty to ruin the person because sooner or later something like this will happen. Tyler was a talented kid...and he did NOT deserve to die because a few punk-ass bigots broadcast his love life to the world. And to the lawmakers who are going to give out the punishment for this crime, do not make this kid die for nothing. Do something about this bullying. Do something--anything but DON'T just sit there and let thes heartless monsters walk. This is the same as if they'd carried Tyler to the bridge and toss him off themselves.

I am sick of little assholes who have nothing better to do than go around and do something dumb like this or walk around with verbal Diarrhea. This has to stop because I don't want to lose anyone I love because they are gay. I really don't want to have my heart broken like that. Please--we have to be better to each other. We HAVE to be better to each other. Because if we don't why are you fucking here? Why not go jump off a bridge? If you are going to live on this planet, your dumb asses must learn to get along. I am tired of seeing stories like this in the media...

CAGED - Has a new home

2010-09-03T08:09:00.000-07:00

Hello all!

Blogging was never my strong suit so that's why I haven't been around lately. That and the fact that I've been really sick from being sick and getting the wrong pills and being even more sick ugh! Anyways, I am barely back but I decided to write on there and give some good news!

After almost a year of re-writes, re-edits, submissions, retractions, argueing, more retractions etc...CAGED finally has a home. I had to go in and completely overhaul the story, changing the story somewhat to make it be able to submit somewhere else because the first publisher that wanted it was a trainwreck. Anyways, CAGED has a home and you'll be able to get your hot little hands on it in about July of 2011. I know, that's far away but I didn't submit it until lately because of some personal reasons. MuseItHot Publishing has decided to take a chance on me and I am ever so greatful to them for that.

What am I currently working on? Well, I am currently working on a story called COUNTRY SOUL. I am hoping to have it be highly sensual. It is aboout a country singer who just got botted out of his record lable because of 'creative differences' and is now kind of lost as to what to do and where to go from there. I am hoping to put some heart and soul into it and make it come out wonderful! Right now I am on chapter four but that's still progress.

I am also working on a a short called FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT. It will be hot, sexy, rough and oh so delicious. About a rich kid who got disowned from his parents and becomes a stripper and the football star who he's always had a crush on now turned into a wealthy, respected multi-millioonaire businessman. It's gonna be awesome...I hope!

Also, for a free read like no other? You have to check out HAVEN FALLS. It has some of your favorite authors like your's truly, Jaxx Steele, Jon Treadway, A.B Gayle and others! So you totally have to go by and read what kind of trouble we've gotten into. There has been murders, sex, gossip, fights, the grand opening of a club and all that makes a soap opera oh so damn tempting and addictive. So please visit us and sign up to follow the blog--things are only going to get better.

Oh! and I've decided to self publish my short story titled SAVE A HORSE, RIDE A COWBOY! Look for it soon to be released with Red Eclipse Writers! I have a cover from the lovely people at Arigato Designs but I am not on my personal computer at the moment so I can't really save it and put it up here--I know BOO! but if you're on my facebook I'm pretty sure you've seen it already! lol

Anyways, must sadly go and face my day of rain storms and blah lol.

hugs,
Remmy D

Cage Fighter going in for repair

2010-06-06T17:30:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone!!

Welcome to the new member who just joined my blog. I haven't checked yet to see who but I am glad you're here. Now down to the reason I am blogging today.

Over the last little bit, I went through some changes and with that said, CAGE FIGHTER'S SALVATION will be going back to my Works in Progress pile. Over the next few weeks, though I shall be working like mad to finish my teaching course and some other stuff, I will overhaul the story completely, changing it drastically. The reason why I'm writing this, is because since REDEMPTION a few of you have written asking me when my next work is coming and you were waiting for CAGE FIGHTER. This is not anything you guys did, but things that has transpired over the last little while to irritate the hell out of me.

Once it's finished, I will let you know what is going on. As soon as I figure out a new title for it, I will let you know and keep you updated.

Thanks again for sticking around guys, you are amazing to me.

The Loss of a Friend

2010-05-13T09:27:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone,
It is in my sadness that I tell you about a friend, Mark, who has been one of the most loving, funny, loyal, adorable guy I've ever known. He loved his family, french and to make others happy. He adored flowers and writing as well as reading.

Mark passed away a few days ago from a heart attack and I was so shocked at how many people's lives he's touched. I was blessed to have him as a reader and a friend and he always had something to cheer me up. He was over-joyed when I told him I was graduating university and sent me his love. He helped me with french, and hunky men on facebook and was always there. He always had time to speak to you whether he's a friend or not. He was full of encouragement--always always. Never spoke down to anyone.

I have to say my heart broke when I heard of his passing--all who knew him is now mourning. If you could leave your support for him and his family here, I shall transfer them to his facebook wall for you. Thanks all.

Hugs,
Remmy Duchene

New Redemption Review!

2010-04-29T12:17:00.000-07:00

Redemption brings some of the hottest genres in romance together to make a story that is hotter than sin. Cowboys, bad boys, wrongful incarceration and two hot men come together in one book for a combustible mix of heat and sensuality. This is definitely one story that is not to be missed. The characters seem to leap from the pages with intensity and passion.

When Keegan was a teenager in the town of Thayne, he was definitely not liked. His manner and dress made him stand out and the fact that he rode a motorcycle and just happened to be gay just seemed to make it worse. At the age of eighteen he was sentenced to thirty years in prison for a murder he did not commit and when he is released after twenty-five years, there is no where else for him to go but back to the place where he last called home. Jaxon had no family growing up and he always had a thing for Keegan. Over the years he has cared for the home left to Keegan by his loving grandfather, in an effort to give back to the man he loves from afar. With Keegan home and Jaxon willing to do anything for the man he loves, the chance for old wrongs to be righted takes on a life of its own.

Remmy Duchene has crafted a story that will bring tears to the eyes and leave you wanting more. These characters will find a way into the readers hearts and minds, and stick with them for a long time to come. I can not wait to read more from this very gifted author. If Redemption is what we can expect then I am eagerly anticipating more stories with even more depth and drama.

The Orchid Murders Strike Again!

2010-03-24T09:56:00.000-07:00

Title: The Orchid Murders
Authors: John Simpson and Remmy Duchene

Publisher: eXtasy Books

Publisher URL: http://www.extasybooks.com/

ISBN: 978-1-55487-473-6

Genre: [M/M] Contemporary Mystery

Rating: 4 Nymphs

Literary Nymphs Reviewers: Mystical Nymph

Anderson Williams might not have the perfect life but that doesn’t mean he isn’t happy, or at least mostly. So what if he has a lousy record with men, and has been alone for longer than he wants to remember. He has a few good friends, a teaching job he enjoys and a father he loves. That all changes in a matter of a few short hours when he discovers his murdered father’s body and a maddeningly annoying police detective, Sam Morgan, barrels into his life, intent on catching the killer.

A serial killer, with an odd orchid calling card, is loose on the streets of New York City and Detective Sam Morgan is determined to stop him before he strikes again. He doesn’t have time for Anderson’s anger and he definitely doesn’t have time to fall in love. Yet, the more time Sam spends with the sexy professor, the more Anderson gets under his skin.

The Orchid Murders has a lot going on; making it fit more than one genre. At heart it’s a thriller, following the hunt for a brutal killer who dismembers his victims; and all manner of juicy clues are revealed as the story progresses. There’s a strange connection between the victims, the orchid left at the scenes, and an unexpected twist involving Yale University, just to name a few.

Then there’s the police aspect. The police procedures and interdepartmental relations are realistic, as is the partnership between Sam and Roger. There are plenty of gruesome details relating to the murder, several red herrings that baffle the cops, and plenty of future victims. And let’s not forget the crazy killer who somehow manages to keep a step ahead of the police.

The dialogue is snappy, the flow good, the characters interesting, and the premise so realistic that the plot could have been pulled from the headlines of any major newspaper. That’s what makes this story so bone-chilling. There really are people in the world capable of doing exactly what the villain in The Orchid Murders did. They all have family, friends and neighbors, and most of the time these people don’t have a clue. How common is it to hear afterwards on a news report…’he was the nicest young man’?

Lastly is the romance between Sam and Anderson. Their chemistry sparks immediately but it’s anything but smooth sailing for these two, since both have enough emotional baggage to sink any relationship. It takes a lot of work and understanding on both their parts to make a go of it and mostly, they’re doing it at different times, which made for all kinds of problems. In fact, despite their passion and desire they still fight like cats and dogs, making me want to smack them on the head and yell ‘grow up’.

On a final note, there are a few typos and point of view issues, but nothing that distracts too badly from the story.

REDEMPTION review!!

2010-03-13T20:16:00.000-08:00

Title: Redemption

Author: Remmy Duchene

Publisher: Loose Id

Publisher URL: http://www.loose-id.com/

ISBN: 978-1-60737-479-4

Genre: {M/M} Multicultural Contemporary

Rating: 4 Nymphs

Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Scandalous Minx

Keegan MacLamore has spent twenty-five years serving time for a crime he didn’t commit. He returns to his hometown with a realistic view of how he is perceived by the townspeople. Fortunately, his best friend, Jaxon Lesley, believes in his innocence.Jaxon arrives at Keegan’s ranch to fulfill a promise. The moment he set eyes on the sexy rancher, Jaxon knew he was in trouble. His old attraction for Keegan has come back full force. However, the secret he has kept all these years could stop the romance before it has begun.

Can Keegan find it in his heart to forgive Jaxon?

Redemption is a story about second chances at love and life. The townspeople's cynical feelings toward Keegan MacLamore had little to do with his actual misconduct in the beginning. The negativity was destined to haunt him and destroy his young life. I felt sorry for Keegan at that moment. No matter what he did, he was labeled a troublemaker. Jaxon didn’t have a real family to rely on for guidance. It was hard to dislike him when you saw his dedication to Keegan and his desire to make amends. This story reminded me of what I sometimes dislike about small towns. There’s nothing like being the delegated whipping boy. The stress and unfairness of the situation can be enough to make anyone become a rebel.

The setting for this story isolates the characters, allowing readers an opportunity to focus on their attraction and budding relationship. Redemption moves at a moderate pace, and includes some scenes between Keegan and Jaxon that are anything but slow and relaxed. The characters grabbed my attention and I could see their internal battles being warred. Redemption is my first opportunity to read a book written by Remmy Duchene and I’m looking forward to reading more of his tales in the near future.

Lisabet Sarai - The Fantasy of Acceptance

2010-03-10T06:48:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! Today, I am pleased to have with us, Lisabet Sarai! Welcome to my little slice of the blog-sphere!

The Fantasy of Acceptance

By Lisabet Sarai

I write erotica and erotic romance in a variety of genres. My last two pubs, however, have been M/M erotic romance. As a result, I've also been reading more gay romance lately. One thing that I've noticed about this genre is that in many books, “gayness” is a given, a normal and accepted aspect of society and relationships. Many gay heroes seem to live in a world where every other
man is also a lover of men (especially the handsome and muscular
guys!). Homoerotic relationships are the norm rather than the exception, and the non-gay characters completely accept the gay heroes and their lifestyles

Authors of historical M/M books frequently do highlight the legal and societal risks of homosexuality. The criminalization of homoerotic activity is often a
major source of the conflicts in these works. Quite a lot of contemporary gay
romance, though, seems to ignore the enduring problems faced by GLBT
individuals, even today.*

- FBI statistics show an 11% increase in gay-related hate crimes in 2008,
compared to a 2% increase in all hate crimes.

- Lesbian, gay and bisexual youth are at a four times higher risk for suicide
than their straight peers.

- 85% of teachers oppose integrating lesbian, gay and bisexual themes in their
curricula.

- A survey of 191 employers revealed that 18% would fire, 27% would refuse to
hire and 26% would refuse to promote a person they perceived to be lesbian,
gay or bisexual.

- In thirty U.S. States, LGBT citizens can be fired on the basis of their sexual
orientation and/or gender identity without any legal recourse.

- Thirty states have passed constitutional amendments or laws explicitly banning
same-sex marriage.

Our M/M heroes tend to live in a golden world where these facts don't exist. I
can understand this, of course. Romance readers are seeking escape. They don't
want to think about problems the hunky heroes might encounter in society. They
want to focus on the developing relationship.

Still, I can't quite seem to banish such concerns from my own M/M work. In
Necessary Madness, my M/M paranormal novel released last December, one of my
characters is a gay police sergeant. He's a great cop, with more than ten
years experience, yet he's been passed over for promotion time and again, most
likely due to his sexual orientation. He's afraid to have a real relationship
because it might jeopardize his job. Rob's concerns about being visibly “out”
are not the most critical conflict in the tale, but they play a role in his
personal decisions and his initial reluctance to become involved with Kyle,
the other hero. Significantly (for me at least), by the end of the book the
heroes are not only together, but also publicly proclaiming their mutual
commitment.

Even in the clinches, the risk never completely vanishes from the heroes'
minds:
--------------------

They’d left in a rush, barely polite. In their eagerness to get back to Rob’s
apartment, they’d refused offers of coffee and breakfast. The one-hour trip
from Petersham to Worcester seemed endless, especially since the state of the
roads demanded extra caution.

Rob’s erection throbbed, painful and demanding. He guessed that Kyle was hard
too, though with the bulky jacket and scarf, he couldn’t tell for sure. Kyle
felt Rob’s gaze. He raised his eyebrows in an unspoken question and his full
lips curled into a smile, but he didn’t speak.

Rob couldn’t stand it any longer. They were coming down the hill into
Gardner. There was a rest area near the city line. Rob yanked the steering
wheel and the car swerved into the exit lane, cutting off a truck easing up
from behind.

“What the hell are you doing?” Kyle yelled. The rest area hadn’t been ploughed
yet. The Saturn skidded for several yards before it came to rest in a parking
spot. Rob scrambled out, then came around to open the passenger-side
door. “Come on. I just can’t wait anymore.”

The lot was deserted. Wind rustled the tall pines sheltering the building that
housed the toilets, knocking clumps of snow onto the windshield. Rob grabbed
Kyle’s hand and practically dragged him out of the car.

“Rob, it’s probably locked.”

“I’ll break down the door if I have to.” Rob was desperate. But the men’s room
was open, although the electricity appeared to be off. Wan light entered via a
dirty window near the ceiling. He pulled Kyle through the door and pressed him
against the tiled wall, devouring his mouth. Kyle responded with equal
passion. Rob ripped open the snaps on Kyle’s jacket and grabbed at his crotch.

“I’m sorry. I’ve got to have you. Now. I can’t concentrate. I can’t drive. All
I can think about is you.” He unfastened Kyle’s belt and unzipped his fly,
then yanked the jeans down around Kyle’s knees. The young man’s cock sprang
out, huge and ready. Rob cradled it in his hands, then squeezed hard. Kyle
groaned.

“Rob, what if somebody comes?”

Rob chuckled as he wrestled with his own cold fly. “Somebody is going to come―you and me!”

“No, really. If a state trooper came in to take a leak and found us here―you
might lose your job.”

“I don’t care. I can’t help it. Honestly, if I don’t fuck you right now…” Rob
didn’t bother to finish the sentence. He turned Kyle to face the wall, bracing
the other man’s hands against the cold ceramic surface. He wrapped his arms
around Kyle’s chest and rubbed his cock back and forth in the boy’s ass
crack. Kyle whimpered and ground his butt against Rob’s hardness, until Rob
was sure he’d explode.

-----------

I enjoy a hot, hard M/M romp as much as the next reader. Nevertheless, I'm
always aware that the aura of acceptance is, at this point in time, just a
fantasy. I'd love to live in a world where you could love whomever you wish,
of whatever gender, freely and without fear. I'll do whatever I can, in real
life and in my writing, to bring that world closer to reality.

So last night (Well so it was this morning...REAL early) I was on facebook--giving it one final check before I went to bed and one of my friends over there told me she was going to pick REDEMPTION up on friday. I blinked at the screen and promptly told her that REDEMPTION hadn't been released yet and I didn't think it would be out by Friday. I had been sick all day you see, and didn't check anything all day. So I hopped over to Loose ID and guess what?

REDEMPTION is now available!! So for those of you who's been emailing and fbing me about where is REDEMPTION and when it was coming, it's here!! Click here to read an excerpt and to grab your own copy! I will be making a trailer for it today at some point. I have a mid-term exam today so have to pay attention to that until later.

The Orchid Muders--5 Stars...WHAT???

2010-02-08T08:01:00.000-08:00

So this morning I woke up and I was supposed to be doing a one page summary of what I learnt in my last History and Civilization Lecture (can someone say welcome to high school all over again?) anyways, so needless to say I didn't want to do it and I was pouting something crazy. So I decided to google The Orchid Murders by myself and John Simpson and see what popped up. To my pleasant surprise our first review popped up!! And guess what?? We got 5 Stars from Lydia at Rainbow Reviews! Here's some of what she had to say...

"...It’s not uncommon in a book that incorporates more than one genre for one of those genres to get lost behind the other. That does not happen in "The Orchid Murders," a mystery romance by authors John Simpson and Remmy Duchene... "

"...As the cops set about solving their case, there are many twists and turns that are sure to keep the reader just as baffled as the cops...."

"....On the romance front, the chemistry between Anderson and Sam is present from the beginning..."

"...I hope this will not be the last story these two put out together and highly recommend it to both mystery and romance fans alike..."

Well you have to click here for the full review but as you can see why I'm flailing like a nerd. Ok, now am off to see if John saw it *giggles* and get that paper done ugh. Oh and if you haven't gotten the Orchid Murders yet, eXtasy Books has it!

Hugs to all,
Remmy

Anderson Williams is a Literature Professor at NYU and he has the perfect life—loving and understanding father, wonderful friends, great students. Then suddenly all that is turned upside-down when his father gets murdered and a sexy but annoying cop, Sam Morgan, waltzes into his life.

Sam Morgan is after a murderer, plain and simple—not love, not Anderson’s tantrum. But as one murder leads to another, he finds he is spending more and more time with Anderson. The professor begins to seep beneath his skin and Sam knows he cannot allow that. He has to stop this killer and get out without losing his life or his heart.

The killer, whose calling card is the orchid, seeks revenge for an age-old slight. Will he succeed with all his plans?

Excerpt:
Anderson was fully naked by the time he crawled backwards onto his bed. The thought that he may be doing something that would backfire in his face in the future came to him but he deserved this. It had been so long since he had made love to anyone. But no, what he was about to do wasn’t making love—he was about to be fucked by the detective that was supposed to be finding his father’s killer. But at that precise moment, Anderson had something that needed taking care of. Slowly, he ran his hands down his body, over his tightened nipples. He moaned arching his back towards his roaming hands. Back upwards, he played with his nipples, making then tightened even more to the point of pointed. Then he licked his lips and dragged one hand down between his legs. He used one hand to massage his balls before singling out one finger to dance the tip over his asshole. A sound escaped his throat, his legs stiffened at his side and he smiled.

But he didn’t stop there. His fingers curled around his now engorged cock and slowly, while he waited, he stroked himself.

Sam looked at the shirt on the floor and smiled. “There’s a lot more than just that coming off you tonight, I fear,” he thought to himself. Sam added all of his clothes to the shirt and began to walk up the stairs totally naked, enjoying the cool air caressing his body as he went. He couldn’t wait to run his hands over the well shaped body of Anderson Williams. Damn he needed to get some.

He paused for a moment to listen and when he didn’t hear anything, he continued on to Anderson’s bedroom. When he turned into the door, he froze and his cock did all the reacting by coming to full attention. There on the bed, fully aroused was the quarry that he had hunted. He watched for a moment as Anderson stroked his cock and then he moved on in.

“You started the party without me, naughty boy.”

“You were taking too long,” was Anderson’s husky reply. “Are you just going to stand there or are you going to join the fun?” He glanced at Sam with a smirk. When Sam didn’t move, Anderson rose to his knees turning his ass toward Sam. He then glanced over his shoulder, “a loud enough invite for you, Detective?”

“Hmm, I always appreciate a man putting his best asset forward.” Sam crawled onto the bed flipping Anderson over onto his back so that he could lie down on top of him. He brushed his lips swiftly across Andy’s lips, and stopped longer on the side of his neck, where he planted several kisses.

Anderson felt it then—his body trembling as though he was cold. He arched slightly into Sam’s kiss before turning his face to catch Sam’s earlobe between his teeth. Anderson bit down slightly before running his tongue over the wounded flesh.

Sam worked his way down onto Andy’s chest stopping at each hardened nipple to suck gently. He wiggled on down further enjoying being on top of a man naked in the heat of passion. Finally, he reached the first of the prizes he sought and ran his tongue over Andy’s balls and then up to the shaft. He made little circling motions with his tongue as he went towards the tip. Finally, he swallowed Andy whole, taking him all the way down to the hair surrounding the cock he now possessed fully.

“Sam,” Anderson whispered.

New Cover & Trailer - Orchid Murders

2010-01-07T08:35:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone!
Happy New Year!! Hope the year so far has been a wonderful one and you're not stuck in university lectures like I am!! Well, good news to start off the year, The Orchid Murders by myself and John Simpson now have a cover and will be coming soon to eXtasy Books! I also have a new trailer!

REDEMPTION has a new release date--right now I think it's Feburary...

Anyways, I submitted Cage Fighter's Salvation to a publisher and it was accepted there. The problem is they wanted the rights for longer than I was willing to give so I had to turn it down. But I have re-submitted somewhere else so now I wait. Anyways, I should go put pants on--it's the first day of lectures back from the holidays and the last thing I want to do is be late. It would be a tad awkward.

Hugs,
Remmy D

Revamping, writing and stuff

2009-11-18T13:42:00.000-08:00

So lately, I've been feeling a little out of it. I just haven't been feeling like writing anymore and it is a sad day when I sit before my computer and just want to toss it out the window. Most of you know me and you know that I've been in a horrible mood lately and while I can't tell you why, I have this to say. Cage Fighter's Salvation is back in my editing pile. I am going through it with a fine, tooth comb, digging out spelling errors, grammatical errors etc but no I am NOT taking out the sweetness, jokes etc. I am adding stuff to make it concise, and sound. It's going to take me a little while to have that out to publishing houses but as soon as that happens I'll post that here. Redemption will be coming to Loose Id at some point. Not sure yet though. The release date has been changed and as soon as I know it, so will you.

With that said, I am revamping everything. The looks of my website, blog etc will probably change but nothing too drastic. My website will remain where it is right now and so will my blog. If you check my site under WIP you will notice two new titles. I am currently in the process of finishing Private Dancer. It should be finished in the next couple of weeks. It is a short, not IR, and I am not sure if I'll self publish it like Keep It In The Closet or shop it around. Once it's complete and I go through it for edits, flow etc we shall see.

Also you'll see a blurb for a title tentatively titled, Fire Apocalypse. It will be my first attempt at paranormal stuff. I didn't want to use a vampire or a werewolf or a fallen angel because let's face it--all those have been done. I went the way of the Elements. It will be Interracial-don't think I want to do another none interracial again lol.

Let's see, what else? Thanks for sticking with me through this time of change. I am throwing ideas around seeing which one stick. Thanks to those of you on facebook who have been so wonderful in sending me PMs seeing if I was alright and for writing on my wall checking up on me. I'm fine now, and I am hoping to have great titles for you for 2010.

Hugs,
Remmy D

REDEMPTION has a face!!

2009-10-29T08:58:00.000-07:00

So yesterday, Loose Id made my day! Was having a crappy day and for those of you who know me personally know it was a CRAPPY day. But then I was getting ready to bury my head into some studying when I decided to check my email and guess what? The very SEXY, very HOT, cover for REDEMPTION was in my maibox!! You would not believe how absolutely happy I was! I was flailing and showing it off in yahoo messenger to all my friends but couldn't load it until this morning because my computer was doing something funky.

I am sure you are all aware of Loose Id and their cover department, all I did was give them my idea and look at the amazing face my novella has? No one was more shocked. They have outdone themselves on it. I am so happy I bet you can see that I am absolutely gushing! *flails* But yes, I am very happy with it. It has my sexy Keegan, my bootilicious Carson, rope...on the rope is important *giggles* So yes, I am in class right now and should probably be paying attention lol.

*Flail*

Me on Falcon? gasp and other stuggage...

2009-09-20T12:50:00.000-07:00

So it's a lazy sunday and after getting a whole weeks worth of school work done yesterday I decided to dig through google for myself (I find theives that way). And I crashed into a result that said "Falcon Studio" No one was more shocked than me that they would even mention me much less but anyways I clicked on it. To my wonderful shock, they were blogging about my short story "Keep It In The Closet" and my mention of their Erik Rhodes. Now Erik is a hottie even I cannot deny how beautiful this man is. So you can find their blog right here but do not click on it if you are at work or anywhere in public. So I was flailing even though they said my grammer sucks which isn't news to me. I can never seem to get my Grammer right which is why I am hella grateful to sexing to some of my editors because they ROCK! They are my favorite kinda mind readers!

Anyways, I will be blogging at Sweet Flag *points to right side of my blog* on October 5, 2009. Not sure what I will be blogging about yet - Probably porn stars as Pop Icons - lol who knows? We'll see what I can come up with. Also I shall be guest blogging at Marc Nobb's Blog - on September 29, 2009 and I will be guest blogging at the Romance and Erotica blog Tour Blog. So technically I am all over the place in these next few months. So if you could come out and chill with me fo ra bit that would be wonderful.

"Redemption" is now in edits over at Loose Id and I am so excited. I should get a cover any day now and boy am I excited it! Can't wait to see what they did to my vision. I am finish writing on "Cage Fighter's Salvation" it is longer than I thought it would be. I am editing it now but I am still not happy with the ending but will keep editing and see what happens. Anyways I am gonna go back and perhaps take a nap. It's a lazy Sunday...and OMG! The radio is playing "Super Freak!"

*hugs*

REDEMPTION

2009-09-04T22:49:00.000-07:00

Hello my lovelies,

Well remember I told you that REDEMPTION had a home? It does. For those of you who haven't seen it yet, REDEMPTION is coming November to Loose ID! Nope I haven't gotten a cover yet but as soon as I do I will pass it on. But even so, I am super, super excited because it took me forever to finally write something long enough to send out to Loose ID. I am so very proud of the finish product but as usual I am NOT looking forward to edits.

*rips hair out* I'd rather catch my pants on fire than edit lol. But it has to be done and I had gotten alot of edits done on REDEMPTION before submitting it anyways.

As well, my short titled "Teacher's Pet" will be coming to the Cheap Trixx line for Red Eclipse Writers. I am excited since it's the first time I actually get to write a fantasy rather than a full out story. It is being edited and I finally got the cover from the guys at Arigato. Isn't it cute? I love that cover.

Anyways, I should go back to packing. Ugh.

*hugs*

New Contracts all around!

2009-07-21T08:11:00.000-07:00

Hey all,

Some good news to tell you about. But first, parents please, keep an eye on your little ones at all times. At nights, get out of bed from time to time and check on them - just look into their rooms on them. Yesterday they found the remains of a little girl Tori Stafford an Ontario girl that had gone missing months ago. She was a beautiful child and was loved by everyone in her community. Her family and her did NOT deserve this. So please, I don't care if it's a family friend, pick your children up from school yourselves. Do not let a family friend do it. Do not let some estrange family members do it. I'm not saying that you're not to trust your family but certain people should not be around children - use your instincts and chances are if you feel uncomfortable with your children being around certain people, you're probably right. *Sigh* Sorry for the rant there but seeing children hurt/killed just breaks my heart.

Ok, something good - I know I said I would only be doing one book a year plus an xmas story but things happened and now I have a few! Lol. So Saddle Up N Ride is out and doing very well, thank you muchly for that. So that's the first Remmy D release this year. Now there are two more to tell you about. The Orchid Murders that Iwrote with John Simson has been finished and accepted. The contracts has been signed and it will be coming soon to eXtasy Books. So we are really happy about that. It will probably be a while though since we just signed the contract a couple of weeks ago.

The second one I wanted to tell you about is my novella (my first attempt at writing anything longer than a short story) titled REDEMPTION will be coming soon. I was offered a contract last night. I still have to read the contract but I am certain that things will work out. I will hold off on telling you where until I have had a chance to talk to people, sign contracts etc etc. But I am freaking out here lol.

I know I said I was going to work on the Red Violin and I swear it will be next. But I probably wont finish that one until sometimes around christmas since I start university (my final year! YAY!) in september. My website has been updated with all the latest info and I will continue to update it with new stuff as they come to me.

Finally Finished a Novel!!

2009-05-24T09:08:00.000-07:00

Hey Everyone,

Well about last year, I began a novel with another m/m writer. We went in so far then that person just seemed to drift away. With my anger still in tact I became friends with John Simpson and we started talking. I told him what had happened and he took a look at what we had and told me that it had promise. I was shocked. THE John Simpson thought something that I wrote (with someone else) had promise! I am still dumbfounded over that. Anyways, he suggested that if I wanted we could try and write something. I flailed before my computer, squealed then told him yes!

So we began writing - we were only going to try for a novella but what came out with a novel! We would have finished it sooner but I had a death in the family and had to go away for a while and some other stuff but it's finished now. "The Orchid Murder" is complete and going through the final stages of edits to be submitted to our publisher! Here's the blurb:

Title: The Orchid Murders
Author: Remmy Duchene & Shawn Maxwell
Genre: M/M, Erotic, Interracial, Murder Mystery
Length: Novel
Status: Final edits before Submission

Anderson Williams is a Literature Professor at NYU and he has the perfect life - loving and understanding father, wonderful friends, great students. Then suddenly all that is turned upsided down when his father gets mudered and a sexy but annoying cop - Sam Morgan- waltzes into his life.

Sam Morgan is after a murderer, plain and simply- not love, not Anderson's tantrum. But as one murder leads to another he finds he is spending more and more time with Anderson. The professor begins to seep beneath his skin and Sam knows he cannot allow that. He had to stop this killer and get out without losing his life or his heart.

So that's what we have gotten out. Its a lovely story that I enjoyed writing with John very much. He made writing with someone else easy and fun to do. I actually wanted to write with him.

Anyways Saddle Up N Ride has been getting some great reviews. The one downside was that people keep telling me that it was too short. Sorry about that but I was going through some stuff and short stuff was all I could manage and besides, I write underneath another name so two names to juggle. Anways, I am off to write The Red Violin next. It was supposed to be the one coming next before but had to put it off to write The Orchid Murders. You can find our first trailer coming soon on youtube!

Ta ta!

First Review for Saddle Up N Ride!

2009-04-27T20:55:00.000-07:00

Title: Saddle Up 'N' Ride!
Author: Remmy Duchene
Publisher: Phaze BooksPublisher
URL: http://www.phaze.com/
ISBN: 978-1-60659-050-8
Genre: Western M/M Erotic Romance
Rating: 4 NymphsLiterary Nymphs
Reviewer: Scandalous Minx

Jack Malone knows his friendship with Rusty Hunter means the world to him. The two men forged their bond over the course of seventeen years as pen pals. When the letters stopped coming, something in Jack stopped functioning and he needs his long-time friend to explain how their friendship has deteriorated to this degree.Rusty hasn’t stopped caring for Jack and in fact, the opposite has occurred. Rusty wants his friend to take up as much residence in his bed as he has in his heart.

It was hard not to like Jack and Rusty’s characters. Jack overcame the hurts of his adolescence and has become an outstanding policeman. Rusty is no slouch himself, and takes pride in his ranch. When the truths were finally revealed, I was happy the men didn’t take a rollercoaster ride on denial and send us through “I think I should, I know I shouldn’t” scenes that so many books seem to enjoy adding. Remmy Duchene’s characters know their minds enough not to allow the denial to go until it’s the “just do it already” level. I’m starting to appreciate that more and more, as of late. Saddle Up 'N' Ride! is a wonderful quick read and is entertaining both inside and outside of the bedroom, with a believable plot and characters.

Those sexy heroes.

Hi all! I'm Delilah Stephans and thought I'd spend the day talking about those sexy romance heroes we all love.

Oh come on, what’s not to love about them? I know I find nothing more beautiful to look at than a fit man. He doesn’t have to be muscular – don’t care for the body builders of the world personally – just fit, cut, trim; whatever term you want to use as long as he’s not egotistical about it. Let’s be honest there is nothing sexier than a well defined male physique. It’s why it’s been sculpted by the masters in the past.

The best thing about writing romance is putting a heart, soul and brain into that body – but it all starts with the body. It’s the first thing we as humans notice about a person. You can’t tell what a person is like from across the room – the ugliest person physically maybe the most wonderful person on the inside and the opposite holds true as well. But, we are always looking for the beauty.

So how do we create that hot bodied male? Some writers are gifted with an almost photographic imagination. I’m not one of them. No, I have the terrible job of having to search the internet for pictures of guys that are hot and sexy. Horrible, really horrible – .

Then I take those pictures and critique them – what is it about that guy that is hot? His eyes? His lips? His shoulders? His hair? His arms? Well I work my way down… then I take the best features of each and combine them into one too sexy too be real hero. And don’t we all want romance heroes to be like that anyway?

My latest find is Gillies Marini. He’s French, and hot – as you can see of by the pictures on this post. The entire package is great – so he’ll probably inspire many a hero!

In closing, thanks Remmy for letting me borrow your blog for the day. I had a blast!

My First Blog! And New Release

2009-03-09T18:01:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone! Remmy Duchene here! I finally have a blog! Took me some time to put it all together and get images on, get a header done and all that good stuff but it's finally alive! Welcome and thanks for reading.

First and foremost, I have a new contract with Phaze books! My short Saddle Up N Ride comes this April! I am so excited! Check out my cover! It is about a Hot Rancher and a Sexy Texas Ranger - Purrrrr- nothing beats that.

Anyways, I have finished writing my first ever novella. It's titled Redemption and I have submitted it somewhere so now I wait. This is the hardest part actually, the waiting and then there is the second sets of editing - sobs-. The Blurb for Redemption is below:

As a teenager, Rancher Keegan MacLamore was not a very well liked kid in the small town of Thayne. He was a motorcycle riding, longhaired, rebel. At eighteen years old he was sentenced to 25 years to life for a murder he didn't commit. In prison he's hand to stand up for himself and from time to time he was tossed into solitary confinment for months at a time. Fifteen years he is released on parole and all he wants now is to be left alone. He wants to crawl into a hole and stays there. But his best friend Colter and a long time friend will never let that happen.

Carson Lesley had no family growing up but as soon as he could he leaves Thayne and is quickly picked up for pro baseball. Every year for fifteen years, Carson returns home but for the last five years, he's been fulfilling a promise to a dying old man - take care of the Rattlesnake ranch on the off-season until Keegan MacLamore could take over. The moment Carson gets to the Rattlesnake and see's the half naked, baseball bat weilding, Tattoeed hottie with the sad, broken eyes, Carson knows he's in trouble. When he finds out that this man is Keegan, Carson slips deeper and soon he finds himself fighting for this Rancher's love.

But will Carson be the man to completely break Keegan and will love be enough to cure the secrets that are about to be revealed?

I have always wanted to write a story like this but was too chicken. Now it's finally out - it feels so much better lol. If you visit my website (its linked in my link section on this blog), you will see that my list of Works in progress is so long but now I think I'm going to start working on a Christmas title for this December. I had promised only one title per year but some stories just begs to be written. Please remember that Wait, My Love is now available with Red Eclipse Writers so get your copy today.

Anyways, that's my first blog for now!

Hugs,
Remmy Duchene
