Dirk Caber – On Being A Cover Model

Today we have a special guest on the blog.  Dirk Caber talks about being a cover model.  I for one am very grateful to him for agreeing to grace the cover of Upside Down.  He was easy to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed it.   My partner Jesse was so delighted to be approached to be the cover model for the first novel, Inside Out, and I know he was just thrilled when he found out Andrew was hoping I might be on the cover if Upside Down.  Me, I’m an artist by day anyway, a musician and actor, … Continued

Welcome My Guest – J P Barnaby

J P Is my guest today and I never know what she is going to talk about.  When she asked is she could be my guest, I of course agreed because she is always fun.  It turns out she has something special in mind.  So welcome J. P! This afternoon, I sat down with Devon Hunter, a full-time rentboy and former pornstar, who at one time, reviewed M/M books for an online podcast. Since that time, he and I have discussed many different aspects of fiction and writing gay male sexuality. So, I asked him – what should authors keep … Continued

Andrew and Dominic – Our Story – The Proposal

Dominic and I dated throughout the spring and summer.  I met his friends and he met mine.  In October it was a glorious day, warm for the month and we decided to take a walk.  Dominic had just bought a home on the south side of Milwaukee and I helped him with the improvements.  One of our favorite places to walk was Lake Park.  So we drove and parked at one and walked all the way through, over the bridges and along the rambling path.  Lake Park was designed by the same man who did Central Park in New York … Continued

Electrochemistry

With the release of Electrochemistry I thought I would give you all a brief excerpt from the story.  I love this opening because everyone should know or experience someone like Jordy.   Science major Brad Jergens notices Jordy Fleming at school and at the grocery store where he works, but with the heat Jordy’s boyfriend emits, Brad doesn’t think he stands a chance. When Brad’s parents drag him along on a cruise, he and Jordy literally crash into each other, and the chemistry between them sends sparks flying. Unfortunately, as the weeklong cruise nears an end too quickly, Brad’s left … Continued

Andrew and Dominic – Our Story – Meeting the Parents

I have to start by saying that I did not have much experience with serious boyfriends before meeting Dominic.  He and I met in February and I had agreed to take Dominic to his parents for Easter since he didn’t drive.  This was to be the first time meeting is very Catholic parents.  I will confess to being a little nervous. The drive from Milwaukee where he and I were living to Green Bay was a little nerve racking.  Dominic of course said all the usual things.  When we arrived, his mom and dad came out to greet us and they … Continued

Andrew and Dominic – Our Story – When I Knew I Was in Love

After Dominic and I spent out first night together, I had to leave on a business trip.  The following morning, I packed and got on a plane to Mexico City.  It was a very busy week.  At the time I was working for a retailer and we were opening a store in the central city.  By the time I got on the plane for the return trip, I was so happy to be coming home, I can’t describe it.  Dominic and I had a date night scheduled for the Friday after I got home and we had a very nice … Continued

A Heart for Robbie

My friend JP Barnaby has a new book releasing July 11, and this is what she said about it.  “On March 7, 1992 my daughter Kaitlyn was born with a pulmonary atresia, the same condition that affects little Robbie in A Heart for Robbie – because Robbie is her story. I wasn’t able to give her the same happy ending in real life, so I wrote her one. This book is her legacy.”     Waiting for someone else’s child to die so yours can live is the worst kind of Hell. Celebrated Young Adult author Julian Holmes pits the heroic characters … Continued

Andrew and Dominic – Our Story – Our First Night Together

After the liver dinner, the other guests left and Dominic and I ended up talking until the wee hours of the morning.  We talked about everything, except liver.  I did tell him about my dairy problem and poor Dominic was appalled.  I felt so bad because I didn’t want to hurt his feelings.   The dinner, other than the liver part, had been one of the best means I’d ever had.  I’d just had to eat very little of it. Anyway, I’d like to say that one thing led to another, or that things got very romantic.  But basically I began … Continued

Andrew and Dominic – Our Story – Dominic Cooks for Me

  A few days after our first date, Dominic called to invite me to his apartment for a dinner party.  He wanted to reciprocate to the people who had had us over.  (The matchmakers)  I thought it wonderful.  I was asked to arrive early which I thought was sweet and we talked while he continued cooking.  The table was set beautifully for four in his small dining room.  And he nervously made sure everything was perfect. The other guests arrived and Dominic indicated that dinner was ready.  As soon as we sat down I knew I was in trouble.  The … Continued
