Monday Chats With Romance Writers

Vincent Diamond, Kiernan Kelly and Kayelle Allen join us in the Realms of Love Chat Castle Monday July 7. Be here at 9 PM EDT for a fun chat with these ManLove authors. There'll be at least one give-away of a download of an ebook. More details in the chat.

Lethe Press recently released Rough Cut, a collection of Vincent Diamond stories. Filled with tales of real men with real lives --and loves-- Rough Cut takes readers from the steamy towns of rural Florida to the urban blare of Tampa Bay. Veterinarians, ravers, cops, cons, and all sorts in between, the couples in Rough Cut all have secrets to  hide and hearts to bare.
Sixteen stories, sparkling with cut, color and clarity from "an erotic wordsmith".

Diamond's stories have appeared in Best Gay Romance, Best Gay Love Stories, Truckers, Country Boys, Hot Cops, and other print anthologies. Time away from the keyboard is spent gardening, admiring tigers, and trying (not always successfully) to pick up the correct diagonal at the trot.

Wulf is the first book in the Tales of the Chosen series from Kayelle Allen.  Lust. Power. Forgiveness. Can a romance live forever?

Thunder has a potty mouth. When his 12 year old son started pushing the limits 'cuz Dad does it, I was reminded of this song. A Chat With Your Mother by Lou and Peter Berryman. Please check out their music and go see Lou and Peter if they are in your neck of the woods. 

What's this got to do with romantic fiction? Hmmm...  let's chat.

A Chat With Your Mother (The F-Word Song)

©1984 L&P Berryman. Words by Peter, Music by Lou.

Oh the pirates in their fetid galleons, daggers in their skivvies
With infected tattooed fingers on a blunderbuss or two
Signs of scurvy in their eyes & only mermaids on their minds
It's from them I would expect to hear the F-word, not from you

CHORUS:
We sit down to have a chat
It's F-word this and F-word that
I can't control how you young people talk to one another
But I don't want to hear you use that F-word with your mother

There's the lumberjacks from Kodiak vacationing in Anchorage
Enchanted with their pine tar soup & Caribou shampoo
With seven weeks of back pay in their aromatic woolens
It's from them I would expect to hear the F-word, not from you
                  
There's the militant survivalists with Gucci bandeleros
Taking tacky khaki walkie talkies to the rendezvous
Trading all the latest armor-piercing ammo information
It's from them I would expect to hear the F-word, not from you
                 
There are jocks who think that God himself is drooling in the bleachers
In a late November downpour with a belly full of brew
Their entire grasp of heaven has a lot to do with football
It's from them I would expect to hear the F-word, not from you
                  
There's unsavory musicians with their filthy pinko lyrics
Who destroy the social fabric and enjoy it when they do
With their groupies & addictions & their poor heartbroken parents
It's from them I would expect to hear the F-word, not from you...

Jasper McCutcheon is the author of three books and creator of the audio erotica series, Uncle Jasper's Five-fingered Bedtime Stories, which are free-to-listen mp3 files found at his nephew's web site, http://www.jardonnserotictales.com

His book covers and storyline blurbs can also be found at Jardonn's Erotic Tales. In order of publication they are:

Maggie Pie - Bud Richter has too many irons in the fire. He drives an 18-wheeler nationwide. He entertains ladies waiting for him in the towns to which he travels. He supports his kids financially and emotionally, while gradually rebuilding the relationship he destroyed with Julie, his ex-wife and mother of his children. An unexpected visit from his Viet Nam-era Navy buddy throws in a few more irons, as this man's mysterious disappearance makes Bud a suspect and participant in an FBI investigation. Worse, it rekindles a home-town, multi-generational feud between Germans and non-Germans dating back to World War I. Follow Bud as he tries to keep his family protected from the chaos while helping the Feds figure out who's truly reponsible for the hate crime perpetrated against his Navy pal.

I Was Tortured By the Pygmy Love Queen - Written in the style of the men's pulp magazines from the 1940's and 50's, this is the tale of Henry Mitchell, WWII Navy pilot who's forced to bail out of his fighter plane. He parachutes to a Pacific island, where he is greeted by a tribe of pygmies and their cruel leader -- a white, female Westerner, a Christian missionary gone bad. She knows nothing of the global conflict taking place, and believing Captain Mitchell to be a spy who's come to steal the treasure she's found on the island, she orders her robotic pygmies to strip and bind him for interrogation. But perhaps her brainwashing of the little people was not as thorough as she thought. One of the pygmies, a female, becomes enraptured with Henry Mitchell's strength and resolve under torture. With one ally, Mitchell has a chance. Can the true Queen of the Pygmies save him from a lifetime of pain and bondage?

Go Ahead, Woman. Do Your Worst - Five short stories of lustfully cruel women versus strong and defiant men. Heroes in chains, these men are put into one hopeless situation after another. From a medieval dungeon to the wilds of Africa to a modern-day doctor's office, each man deals with punishments and erotic torments by maintaining their masculine resolve. No sissifications or emasculations here. These men will never be defeated, a lesson their antagonists are soon to learn.

Jasper doesn't do texted excerpts, opting instead for scripted audio snippets from his books. You can access these mp3's at this web page address: http://www.jardonnserotictales.com/audioexcerpt.htm
