What He Says... About QaF

Queer as Folk was off the air when I started watching it. Which, in a way, was better because I pulled a marathon and watched the entire five seasons in less than a week. I'd have hated waiting for the next episode or next season to find out what happened next. Emmett was one of my favorite characters and he always had the best lines. I loved Justin, but the dark, brooding asshole that was Brian Kinney also held a soft spot in my heart. Sure he was a prick on the outside, but more often than not he showed a human, vulnerable side that just melted me. So, I posed the question to my guys here: Brian or Justin?

Stuart Wakefield:
I’m going to sound terribly patriotic but I’ve only seen, and intend to see, the original UK series. I’ve heard that the US version is good, but I just can’t bring myself to watch either that or the US remake of Being Human.



Charles Edward:
Justin. I admit I didn’t see every season, but in what I did see, I admired his bravery and devotion. I never really warmed up to Brian, though it was fun to see how he always did the right thing despite trying to be a huge dick about it every time.

Oh, and even though you haven’t asked: Team Jacob.


Stuart Wakefield:
Oh, yeah. Team Jacob. Most definitely.





Damon Suede:
I think both of them, and neither of them. Between you me and the world wide wall, I think they are the same character at different ages, and the show goes out of its way to underscore that overlap. They’re both attractive, passionate narcissists with a tendency towards sadism and grandstanding. They were so soapy and irrational. So the real question you’re asking could be framed as: “do you prefer self-involved assholes before or after they develop ironic detachment?”

Now I should explain, I didn’t see QaF until years after it had been cancelled, and I saw it in a kind of crazy 4-day marathon for a job. LOL So my perspective is extremely skewed. Actually if you held a pop culture gun to my head, I’d say Justin (Nathan) from the UK and Brian from the US. Both totally ruthless and passionate and intense. The UK Brian (Stuart) and the US Justin both tended toward a sentimentality and self-pity that sucked.

And I’m totally for Team Guy Who Almost Crushed Bella with a Van. (LMAO!!! ~ LC)

Edmond Manning:
They were both gross. I watched three episodes of that show and was so turned off by, well, all of them (personalities and drama, not looks), that I couldn’t stomach any more.




D.H. Starr:
Oh dear, I’m afraid once again my views set me apart. I’m a sucker for the emotionally blocked people who put on airs but who really have a heart of gold deep inside. Brian is totally my kind of man. He’s dark and handsome, smooth lean muscles, smart, sexy as hell, a sexual Hercules, yet despite all of his emotional baggage, he’s a sweetie at his core. And I am SOOOOO Team Edward. I love vampires and I find Robert Patterson’s portrayal of Edward to be so sexy. He loves Bella with a dignified composure, yet he’d do literally ANYTHING to keep her happy and safe.


So, how about you? Brian or Justin. And more importantly: Team Edward, Team Jacob, or Guy Who Almost Crushed Bella with a Van? Inquiring minds want to know.

The guys will be back Thursday, June 7th, with their thoughts on Manscaping.

And don't forget, if you have any topics, questions or photos you'd like the guys to tackle, just shoot them my way. We'll make sure you get the credit.

Monday Music: Think!

"Think!" by Dave Patten.

I discovered a new (to me) artist the other night on my TV veg-out night. I usually watch a video-on-demand movie through my cable provider once or twice a month, and was most impressed to find in their regular new releases listings, eCupid, Love on the Download. That was the first time I've seen a gay movie in the listings. So of course, I had to watch it. The acting left a little to be desired, but it was a cute show. Toward the end of the movie when the main character figures out the man he had and let get away was "the one" all along, he goes off to win him back. This song played during the "driving like Mario to catch my guy" scene, and it was just so powerful I had to go straight to itunes and download it...and I couldn't stop at just the one tune. This dude rocks. :-)

Love is Always Write - "Gray's Fallen"

Written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's 'Love is Always Write' event, my new short story, Gray's Fallen will go live May 29th on Goodreads. Shortly afterward I will be making an extended version available in PDF, epub and mobi formats downloadable from my website, ARe and Goodreads. And of course, I had to make a new cover for it. ;-)

The story is based on a photo prompt by Erika Pike...

I took a late-night stroll with my dog and saw a man sitting alone in the middle of the park. That's nothing unusual, except he was sitting on the damp grass and had his face covered in his hands.

I didn't mean to approach him - I mean, this is New York and there have been a lot of reports of muggings lately - but I was worried he was hurt. I asked if he was all right, and I swear, when he looked up I thought my heart was going to burst. Why is he crying?

Add it to your Goodreads shelf! :-)

Six Sentence Sunday

It's been a long while since I've done a Six Sentence Sunday, but with my new short novel, Riding with Heaven releasing in just a few weeks -- June 5th to be exact ;-) -- I figured it was time to get busy again. I was going to give you the opening six sentences, but the first three are single word sentences. So instead, I give you the second paragraph and Evan McGrath's first glimpse at Lucas Briscoe.

Only one vehicle was parked in the lot: a spotless black Chevy Tahoe with tinted windows and black utility rims. The kind of vehicle the government or secret agents or mobsters would drive. Big, menacing, mysterious. The driver stood outside, leaning casually against the passenger door with one booted foot rested over the other, arms crossed in front of a broad chest. A chocolate-brown leather aviator jacket covered a gray hoodie and gave him a slight bad-boy vibe—just enough danger to entice the wee little mouse into the lion’s lair. Stylishly mussed blond hair reflected the bright morning sunlight in shimmering threads of gold and auburn, and day-old stubble hugged a strong, square jaw and slightly cleft chin.

So, what did you think? Want to read another six next Sunday? Until then, you can check out more sixers from a bunch of other great authors here. And if you haven't already, skip on over to my friend Thorny's blog for a fun six sentences from his upcoming short story, Get in the Boat.

What He Says...About Homophobia

Every year on May 17th, people the world over celebrate International Day Against Homophobia. Its a day to raise awareness, celebrate diversity, and do our part to spread the word and erase homophobia. Edmond posed today's topic to the guys in the form of a question: What is the worst thing about homophobia?

For me its seeing firsthand what it does to my friends and people I care greatly for. It hurts and saddens me to no end, how some people can be so cruel to people with such beautiful, giving souls. They don't deserve that. No one does.

To help celebrate IDAHO we've joined the Hop Against Homophobia blog hop, and myself and the guys have pooled together a big stash of goodies to giveaway to our visitors. We're having not just one giveaway, but six! Between now and Sunday, May 20th at midnight (Pacific), leave a comment and share your thoughts on homophobia. We'll draw six names at random and announce the winners in a separate post on Monday, May 21st. So what's on offer in this big prize vault?

From Damon: A swag bag full of rocking goodies like magnets, pens, stickers, mousepad, etc., along with a signed bookplate/card.

From Stuart: A paperback copy of the redesigned, second edition of Body of Water.

From Edmond: An ebook copy of King Perry.

From Charles: Winner's choice of an ebook copy of either Jump First or In the Darkness.

From Thorny: A special pre-release of an original short story, PLUS exclusive original cover artwork.

From L.C.: An ebook copy of Riding with Heaven (available June 5th).

* * *
Thorny Sterling:
I’ve never really liked the word “homophobia” because “phobia” means a fear of something. Nobody’s afraid of me, they just hate me and are against me as far as I can tell. So I go with anti-gay when I describe them. And there’s no worst part for me because it’s all horrible.

Edmond Manning:
In the past, I’ve started friendships with some really cool guy and then he says some anti-gay comment and I realize, “We’re not going to be pals.” That spark in new friendship - the radical delight when you really GET someone and they GET you - it’s so rare. I hate losing friends (even new friends) because of douchiness.

Stuart Wakefield:
For me, it’s the assumption that I want to shag all men. Why do homophobic guys think that? I think that’s where a lot of homophobia from men stems from. Just because they think they’re irresistible to women they assume we gay guys want them, too. I also think it’s about power. Women, and I’m sorry to swear, get fucked. Straight men don’t get fucked. (Yeah, yeah, I know some do.) So, because getting fucked makes you a woman they freak out. Newsflash: your lardy, unwashed body and bulldog features are not attractive to me. Oh, and leave my straight girlfriends alone because they wouldn’t go there, either. Trust me on this.

D.H. Starr:
Homophobia, according to the dictionary, is defined as “an irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals” (taken from the Merriam-Webster online dictionary). The worst part of homophobia for me is the effect homophobic acts have on the social norms which govern our behavior as a society. Okay, I know that sounds all heady and shit, but I was a sociology major in college and got into Peter Berger’s theory of “social constructed reality”.

Gays can’t get married in most states. Gays can’t claim the same benefits or get the same tax breaks as heterosexual married couples (ok, kind of the same issue). That’s probably the most public example of homophobic views hurting everyone. It hurts gay people because it sets us apart as somehow different as in not deserving of the same rights as our heterosexual counterparts. I think it’s equally, if not more, damaging to society at large. There’s a lot of talk about bullying of teens, especially gay teens, and the rash of teen suicides which have resulted. These tragic events are the result of gay youth believing the only way to escape their sense of worthlessness and sadness is to end things. Well, as gay adults, we’ve managed to make it past a turbulent period of life. Coming to terms with sexuality and living honestly as homosexual people is a challenge that leaves us stronger than people who are not forced to deal with such life-defining issues. But even with a strong sense of self, it still hurts to see that we are somehow considered as undeserving of the same rights as others.

Throughout history, groups have been discriminated against and equal rights have been withheld. Women and voting. Blacks and freedom. Gays are simply another group of people who are being discriminated against due to ignorance and homophobic views, and the fact that it is happening is hurtful and damaging to us all.

Gosh, this is a really hot-button issue. Let me temper my stance by saying that I know there are TONS of people who aren’t gay, and who are just as appalled by the discrimination against gays. Like I said in a previous post, I am an optimist and view the glass as half full. I feel encouraged by the fact that states are slowly giving gays equal rights, and that all segments of society are becoming more sophisticated in their ability to see difference as something to be appreciated.

Damon Suede:
The worst part about homophobia is how banal and normal it has become: apple pie and a Christmas carol while I beat you to death and hang you on white-picket fence. It’s such a non-issue except for the ways it can be used by fear mongers to whip up the cretins and loonies. In the new improved modern world, everyone talks a tolerant game till the door is shut. Remember I grew up in a GLBT household. I’ve watched this shit up close for 40 years. It isn’t a theory. People DIE. Again, there’s this insidious status quo-mageddon quality to it in which things like dehumanization and abuse get taken for granted by otherwise civilized humans.

In the fall during a nationally televised debate with US presidential candidates, a roomful of Republican voters booed gay soldiers fighting and dying in Dubya’s shitty self-serving war, and not a single one of the candidates reacted to it or scolded them. Can you grok that? Gay men and women cleaning up an imaginary Iraqi mess fabricated by politics and bankers were booed by a studio audience without reprimand by potential leaders. Vicious myopic scumbags. All in the name of political expediency and theocratic breastbeating by pundits and pinheads. No other group can still be treated that way on TV.

So in other words... it’s great that those disgusting fags and dykes will live and die for us, but not that they love differently. Gay people’s dedication and service is irrelevant. Outrageous. These cretinous assholes won’t boo the industrial insta-war(s). They won’t boo the architects of the economic crisis. They won’t boo assaults on women’s health, choice, and safety. They won’t boo the anti-science, anti-education, pork-happy nitwits robbing them daily... But Heaven forfend two people of the same sex should love each other and say so while doing their jobs under threat of death in the desert fighting for Exxon. Feel that fact. And a fat slice of Christian America thinks that’s normal. The fuck is that?! Evil assholes. Two thousand years ago a nonviolent Jewish terrorist gets nailed to a tree for telling people to be nice to each other and a couple millennia later his shitwitted fundamentalist “followers” can’t even bother to make sense of the man’s word and “do unto others” for ten seconds together. Embarrassing. Y’know what? THAT is genocide. THAT is the Apocalypse. THAT is the death of civilization. They also murder who stand and watch.

Stuart Wakefield:
DAMON FOR PRESIDENT!!! Seriously, he really makes me think.

Now we turn the table to you. What do you think the worst thing about homophobia is, and what do you think we can all do to help fight it?

The guys will be back Thursday, May 31st, with their thoughts on QaF: Justin or Brian.

Isn't It Purty!

This afternoon I got an email from my publisher to let me know my cover art was ready for Riding with Heaven. I was stuck at work and all I wanted to do was run home and start splashing my gorgeous new cover around cyberworld. Boy, does that make the afternoon drag. I kept the email open on my phone and kept looking at it, loving it a little more each time.

So here it is! My shiny new gorgeous cover for Riding with Heaven, designed by the lovely and talented Anne Cain. Thank you, Anne! I have nothing but love for this puppy. :-)

Riding with Heaven will be available at Loose Id on June 5th.

Until then, here's a little blurbage...

When his flight home for his brother’s birthday is canceled due to a Category 5 hurricane on the Eastern seaboard, art major Evan McGrath places an ad on Craigslist for a rideshare from Colorado to South Carolina. He hadn’t expected an immediate reply, nor had he expected to fall head-over-heels for the handsome and mysterious driver, Lucas Briscoe.

As the miles disappear behind them Evan grows more and more attracted to the enigmatic Lucas, and the desire is mutual. The only problem is that a serial killer dubbed “The Domino Slasher” has just escaped a federal prison transfer, and funny little coincidences keep pointing toward Lucas – who looks like Heaven incarnate, but who could be the Devil in disguise.

Add it to your Goodreads shelf!

Monday Music: Sing

"Sing" by Travis. I haven't ever seen this video before, but OMG, that was a laugh I needed! I just love the positive, uplifting vibe of this tune. It always puts me in a good mood. So all of you out there, start your day off right and SING. :-)

And the chorus...

But if you sing, sing, sing, sing sing, sing.
For the love you bring won't mean a thing.
Unless you sing, sing, sing, sing, sing, sing.

Monday Music: Heaven's Already Here

The live, acoustic version of "Heaven's Already Here" by Collective Soul, one of my all time fave bands. I've seen these guys a number of times now and every single time they put on a kickass show. If you get a chance to see them live, take it. I didn't post the studio version because I couldn't find a good video, but here's the link if you want to listen: http://youtu.be/GK14b-jo8Vs

And because this song is more than just beautiful music, the lyrics are below. I'm thinking this is going to be the main theme song for my upcoming novel, Riding with Heaven (releasing June 5th at Loose Id).

Wake up to a new morning
Got my babe by my side
Now I won't yield to new warnings
'Cause I got my piece of mind

Who could bring me heaven
When heaven's already here?

No more living in darkness
Now that love lights my way
I don't need any new changes
To make me love today

What He Says... About Superheroes

Superheroes. Who doesn't love them? When I was younger I used to watch Wonder Woman faithfully. She was gorgeous and kicked ass and I wanted to be her when I grew up. We can all dream, right.

A while back I read an article on Relevant Magazine about why we love superheroes, and what they represent in our culture. As with most commentary articles there is something interesting to be found. In this article I took away one quote that pretty sums it all up for me: "Superheroes are colorful incarnations of the human soul."

I like that.

So that's the preview. Now onto the main event. Let's see what the guys have to say about their favorite superheroes...

* * *

Charles Edward:
Hulkling and Wiccan. The first run of Young Avengers was all too short, but it was brilliant. I’m a great fan of continuity in comics, so I loved the way the Young Avengers story wove completely new characters into the great Marvel history and tied them together with such a strong “family” feel. Plus, Hulkling and Wiccan are boyfriends, and maybe you can guess that I enjoy couplings where one guy is big and green-skinned.

Stuart Wakefield:
I hang my head in shame and admit that it’s Wonder Woman. Hang on. . .no, I’m not ashamed of that. I think she rocks. I learned Latin and Greek at school so her mythological background fascinates me as much as all the super-powered wish-fulfillment she embodies (along with nearly every other super-hero).

Edmond Manning:
Wait, I have to pick one? Magik from the New Mutants. Classic plot lines of struggling with her higher nature, plus she looks so badass in a red cape and cloven hooves. I wouldn’t mind giving Thor a tongue bath. Scott Summers (Cyclops of the X-men) because I think he’d be a beast in the sack. But my dream guy would be Colossus of the X-men. He’s an artist (I love men who create visual art) and I really have to know what it’s like in bed when he turns to metal form. Uh... what happens... down there? One moment he’s all man and the next he’s a steel dildo?

Damon Suede:
Alan Moore’s V... brilliant, sexy, magickal. He is a perfect symbol and a complete monster. Give me a hero who knows the cost of things and who’s earned his Kleos any day. I’m not really a comic book guy (though my boyfriend is very much so). But I’d take V in a heartbeat, help him burn down the world, and fuck in the ashes.


D.H. Starr:
I’m tossing between Spider-man and Superman and have finally decided, hell. I’ll take ‘em both thank you very much!




Thorny Sterling:
BATMAN! Gravely voice, all bad boy with a ton of baggage, endlessly wealthy, and covered in the latest toys. Plus, I have his underwear. (Gotta say, though, that Edmond and Damon really have me thinking now... O.O)

* * *

Now its your turn. Who's your favorite superhero and why?

The guys will be back Thursday, May 17th, with their thoughts on homophobia as part of the Hop Against Homophobia blog tour, May 17-20th.

And don't forget, if you have any topics, questions or photos you'd like the guys to tackle, just shoot them my way. We'll make sure you get the credit.

One Small Thing

Piper Vaughn is in the house today to talk a little about her new release, One Small Thing, co-authored with MJ O'Shea. It's a sweet one. :-)


Hi, all. In a couple of days my second co-written book with M.J. O’Shea, One Small Thing, releases from Dreamspinner Press. Our fans might wonder what I mean by that since currently there are two co-written Lucky Moon books available from Loose Id, but what I mean is that this book was actually the second book M.J. and I ever wrote together (and our first ever joint paperback!). We went from splitting up chapters in third-person POV in Moonlight Becomes You to writing different characters in first-person alternating in this book. It was a different co-writing experience for sure, and we’re going to talk about that in another post on this tour, but for now we wanted to share a little information about the book itself, including a decent-sized excerpt, which we haven’t done up to this point.

One Small Thing is set in Delaware and features two main characters (Rue and Erik) and two very important side characters (Alice, Rue’s daughter, and Dusty, his best friend). This book holds a special place for me, and it was really a labor of love on both our parts. I’m hoping people will love it as much as we do. :)

And now here is a little excerpt from Rue’s POV. It takes place about halfway into the story.

~*~

Rue

The next Monday, we were at my apartment. Dusty had come over for a while after class to hang out before he headed off to his shift at The Bean. It had been a bit forced, but things seemed finally to be on a path back to normal. I was relieved. I wished I could say that about Erik and me as well. There was a tension there that hadn’t been there before. Maybe I was making the whole dumb thing up in my head, but there were these moments that were charged, like we’d look at each other and it was so different than it had been—then Erik would do something goofy, or say something about Star Trek, and the moment would disappear like it had never been there in the first place.

It was so. Damn. Frustrating.

Things between him and I were the least awkward when we focused on Alice. If she was between us on the floor, giggling with her little baby laugh while we tickled her or dangled toys for her to bat at, then it was all fine. We could laugh and joke, and those odd moments were no longer hanging between us. Of course we couldn’t always pay attention to Alice. And that was the problem. Erik and I were eating dinner and making small talk. It seemed to come easier for him than it had originally, despite the random moments of awkwardness that cropped up. He was telling me that he’d finally started to edit his old book and convert it to romance with the help of some very thorough research (and I couldn’t decide if that made me want to laugh or made me hot as hell). I’d made us another bowl of pasta that I mixed with a jar of pesto I’d gotten at the market. I threw together a salad and heated up some green beans. He looked at the table full of green and then looked at me like I’d betrayed him.

I had to chuckle at that. “Try the pesto. You’ll like it. It tastes like pizza.”

“I guess so. The last time you made pasta it was pretty good.” Erik took a cautious bite. “Oh, I do like this.”

“Told you.”

He smiled at me then. A totally not awkward, gorgeous grin that made me smile back. I couldn’t help it.

We finished dinner and got to the serious business of feeding Alice. She managed to get most of the formula into her mouth instead of all over me and Erik. I was happy… until she batted at the bottle and it splattered all over the floor. I was smart enough to have another ready. (I knew my daughter well.) When I went to put it on her little tray so I could wipe her face up, she looked right at me and giggled. Then she batted at my hair and cried:

“Da-da!”

Oh. My. God.

I looked at Erik in awe. He was grinning hugely at me. I bounced around the table, jumping like a moron. I was so thrilled. Sure, it was probably just baby babble, but it sounded like she’d called me dad! I launched myself into Erik’s arms, laughing and smiling. He was smiling too, and had his arms wrapped around my waist in a tight hug.

It felt wonderful. I could smell him, that crazy-good, fresh smell that drove me absolutely nuts, and his strong arms lifted me and spun me around in dizzy circles. I think I might have lost it for a moment.

Whatever high I was floating on just made me act. I didn’t even think before I laid an enthusiastic kiss on his lips. Yeah, I said lips. My first instinct when I was happy was to kiss him, to be as close as I possibly could. So I leaned up and brushed my mouth across his—once, twice, three times, before I dragged him down for more. Our mouths were pressed together for a good five seconds before I realized what I’d done.

I jumped back and looked at Erik, waiting to see horror dawning in his eyes. My stomach twisted in embarrassment, and my insides bloomed with warmth from his proximity.

“I’m so sorry, Erik.”

I didn’t know what else to say.

~*~

One Small Thing releases from Dreamspinner on Friday, May 4th. You can purchase it directly from DSP at the links below, and it will also be available on Amazon, ARe, and other online book retailers shortly after its release.
http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=2905 (ebook)
http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=2906 (paperback)

The blurb:

“Daddy” is not a title Rue Murray wanted, but he never thought he’d have sex with a woman either. Now he’s the unwitting father of a newborn named Alice. Between bartending and cosmetology school, Rue doesn’t have time for babies, but he can’t give her up. What Rue needs is a babysitter, and he’s running out of options. He’s on the verge of quitting school to watch Alice himself when he remembers his reclusive new neighbor, Erik.

Erik Van Nuys is a sci-fi novelist with anxiety issues to spare. He doesn’t like people in general, and he likes babies even less. Still, with his royalties dwindling, he could use the extra cash. Reluctantly, he takes on the role of manny—and even more reluctantly, he finds himself falling for Alice and her flamboyant father.

Rue and Erik are as different as two people can be, and Alice is the unlikeliest of babies, but Rue has never been happier than when Alice and Erik are by his side. At least, not until he receives an offer that puts all his dreams within reach and he’s forced to choose: the future he’s always wanted, or the family he thought he never did.
