Good
morning readers and thanks for listening to me ramble today. So, what am I
talking about on this stop for the blog tour? MEN! That’s right, men.
Now,
I’m not trying to give any lessons here about how they smell, what they’re made
of, or anything like that. What I’m speaking of is how they inspire us as
writers, artists, or even you, as a reader. How you ask?
Think
about a man you really like, celebrity or not. Okay, besides your husband, Jesus, work with me here.
*blinks*
Does
this man make you all gushy inside? Think naughty things? Are you dreaming
about the man bending you over the washer in the laundry room while you wait
for the clothes to dry? Or perhaps you’d like to be on a secluded island with
him? Maybe. Then you’ve been MENSPIRED.
No,
it’s not a real word, but it means that gorgeous hottie is someone you think
about during a day dream, a relaxing bath, or a nap after you’ve sent the
kiddies to school. He inspires your thoughts, invades your subconscious.
As
creators, a lot of us have a man in mind when we write. The characters are
fictional, but we build a guy in our brain and form a personality around him. I
can’t speak for anyone else, but for all 4 of my muses, we scout the net
looking for a specific man to play the “role.” It’s usually something specific
like his eyes, his build, or if he has something distinctive that says he
should play this part.
Who
have been some of our menspirations? We aren’t that cliché’, picking the
For
Under
the Gun, my menspirations were model Tyson Beckford and David Taylor, a
former porn star. I picked them because they looked good together and when I
search for muses, that goes into my decision too. For Wounded
Hearts I picked Colton Ford as Cyrus Abrams and for the N’awlins
Exotica series, Shemar Moore for Frankie and Umid for Kajika.
Of
course there are many more, but these are only a few of examples. When we look
for the menspiration, the appearance usually writes itself in the story and as
we go along, we stop a moment to pick the person we’re thinking to visualize
the action going on. Men-inspired. Inspired by a certain man, to do what we
want.
Surely
when you’ve had that naughty dream of Brad Pitt from Lonesome Dove , it was a thrill that made you laugh or got a little
moist down below. It titillated you as a woman or man, and made you want to
react. A quick round with the vibrator perhaps? Hope you got batteries. In an authors’
life it’s the same. We’ve been menspired to pen a few thousand words around a
particular man and erm, we might be having a little fun afterwards too.
Hope
you’ve enjoyed this fun and sexy post, and in the meantime, keep living and
dreaming. Enjoy a little more info on my newest book, a redo, Under the Gun,
the first book in the Hardy and Day series!
Blurb:
Pre DADT Repeal...
Jaded by his lover leaving him for a woman, Camdyn Hardy is
looking for love and partnership. When he goes to the local shooting range, he
only wants to let off a little steam, but meeting Malik Day, a discharged army
serviceman is a welcome surprise.
Malik’s issues go farther than just a lack of love.
Discharged for defending a fellow gay soldier got him kicked out of the Army
and back at home with his bible thumping parents. When Malik meets Camdyn, the
sparks are there, but both of them are too afraid to make their desires known
to each other.
After several conversations and dates, Camdyn and Malik are
hot for one another and ready to take the next step. When they do, they
discover they have a lot more in common than just a need for a committed relationship.
Excerpt PG
Some days are better than others and most could be a helluva
lot better, but when you get into a fight with your significant other, of the
moment, what else can be done? I wished we could’ve gotten past it, but there
wasn’t any way to avoid it.
My boyfriend and I were working on a case together when we
almost slipped up because of our… ‘encounter’… on the job. At my insistence,
too, and this made it even worse. Our client wasn’t amused when he literally
caught us with our pants down; he almost fired us on the spot. Still, we
managed to finish. The job, that is. My
man tried to tell me to wait until we were safe and out of sight, but my
horniness wouldn’t allow me to. I shouldn’t have listened to my dick, but some
days he thinks he’s the brains of this outfit.
After that, Tay started having second thoughts about our
relationship. He thought we’d lost focus by working together, and we should
split up. I tried pleading with him. I
told him it wasn’t a good reason. “No, no, no, no, no,” I insisted, vigorously
shaking my head. But the more I protested, the more he vehemently disagreed
about going on with this work/play scenario. Disagreed about us.
No matter how much I begged… no matter how much or how
loudly I promised I’d be more of a good boy, he’d have none of it. He decided to move on, and he did, leaving
every tie to Camdyn & Associates behind.
I knew he still loved me, but I’d heard from mutual friends
Tay was on the fence again, spending a lot of time with some female. Sheesh. I’d been preparing myself for my
down-low lover to take a hike, so when he walked out that door today, it really
wasn’t much of a surprise. That taught me a lesson—don’t deal with anyone who’s
unsure about his sexuality ever again. I needed someone totally real and gay,
like me. One hundred percent queer.
As I drove away from my office, the anger built inside of
me. Ready to burn rubber, I gripped the steering wheel tightly and made the
sharp turn at the corner, intending to enter the freeway. The grooves from the
leather pierced my skin and my knuckles turned white from the pressure. Even
though my place was only fifteen minutes away, I felt the need to do damage,
more like kick the shit out of Tay. Unfortunately, the gas pedal was my only
fucking option.
