Memoirs of this Delusional Writer #26

Starting paragraph
The scrap from the blade edge scrapped across Bead’s sac, his balls trembled to stay still under that hand, afraid of what could happen if he moved. There was no safety on what they were doing. Nothing but the steady hand of Harley.

I’m on Tumblr. now!!!

Okay, so first up is that I’m on tumblr now, yeah, it’s been something that I’ve wanted to do ever since I became a little obsessed with the whole thing.
Then I read a posting by Josh Lanyon on Reviews by Jessewave and took the dive.

It’s still rough, I haven’t got money to make it fancy, and I honestly, just put it up last night, but I’ll repost everything that I like, whenever I come across it. But the look, that might take a bit to get up.

Next.

.

Maybe it's because I've been so busy lately, but I constantly find myself thinking, "I wish I could draw without worrying about time." but in reality, when I do get some free time, I'll probably piddle around and do nothing. I guess you always want what you don't have.

Hadn’t the Pleasure # 58

The books that have been collecting dust for so long they have become stained from it
I haven’t had this long, but man… it’s got a pretty cover


Jeff Paxton came home from Afghanistan looking for roots. Instead his pregnant sister talks him into a job babysitting the volatile megastar Nigel Gasp. Nigel is stubborn, needy, and determined to be the center of attention everywhere he goes. Before long, Jeff realizes that something is bothering Gasp, and that keeping him out of trouble might be more difficult than he thought.

Nigel never planned on getting old. He simply assumed a hard drinking, hard partying lifestyle would take care of that. Now that he's turning forty, he's depressed and a little bit desperate. To Nigel, forty seems like a fine age to deposit his DNA and check out while he's still on top.

The last thing Jeff needs is to fall in love with Nigel Gasp. The last thing Nigel expects is a whole new reason to live. But how can Jeff put down roots with a man who is never in the same place twice?

Love can be shocking. Gasp!

“You can’t even stand properly, let alone walk,” Doug snapped.

Craven is a sexy tattooed and pierced musician. He, his friend, and his sister all know and have accepted that he's gay, but he's never slept with another man.

His best friend has agreed to help him. But now that Craven is back home, he can’t avoid the feelings he’s had for Trevor all these years.

He’s got a pierced tongue, eyebrow, lip, and both ears. His tattoos extend all over his chest, down his arms, and onto his fingers. He thinks they don’t fit, but he wants Trevor so bad.

Ryan Putnam has lost everything. Laid off from teaching high school and dumped by his lawyer boyfriend, he has nowhere else to go but his childhood home -- the Good Fortune ranch. He plans to take the summer to regroup and start over. He never expects to be smitten with a cowboy. Especially not a cowboy like Teo Mendez, who is everything Ryan's ex-boyfriend is not.

Four years after his wife's death, Teo Mendez has returned to what he loves the most -- working the land. He believes the Good Fortune ranch is the perfect place to build a new life for his son, Antonio. When his boss's brother Ryan shows up to work, the other man's haunted eyes reminds Teo of everything he has lost as well. So he offers the only thing he can -- his friendship. But it doesn't take long for Ryan to reawaken long dormant emotions and desires.

Ryan doesn't intend to find a relationship. Teo doesn't want to complicate his life with a fling. What they have between them, however, is too powerful to ignore.

Contains graphic m/m interaction, including oral and anal sex.

"His deadliest enemy will become his heart s desire."

Caius doesn t feel like much of a Christian. He loves his life of learning as a monk in the far-flung stronghold of Fara, but the hot warrior blood of his chieftain father flows in his veins. Heat soothed only in the arms of his sweet-natured friend and lover, Leof.

When Leof is killed during a Viking raid, Cai s grieving heart thirsts for vengeance and he has his chance with Fenrir, a wounded young Viking warrior left for dead. But instead of reaching for a weapon, Cai finds himself defying his abbot s orders and using his healing skills to save Fen s life.

At first, Fen repays Cai s kindness by attacking every Christian within reach. But as time passes, Cai s persistent goodness touches his heart. And Cai, who had thought he would never love again, feels the stirring of a profound new attraction.

Yet old loyalties call Fen back to his tribe and a relentless quest to find the ancient secret of Fara a powerful talisman that could render the Vikings indestructible, and tear the two lovers bonds beyond healing.
