Welcome to my Reading Nook, Tyler
Robbins. Please make yourself at home and let my cabana boys get you a drink.
Comfortable? Wonderful. Now
let’s get started.
To get us started can you tell
us a little about what you are working on or have coming out?
I’ve taken a little break between releases, so my next one
won’t be until January 2014 as part of an anthology, Alpha’s Claim: Manlove
Edition from Evernight Publishing. My wolf-shifter story is titled, The Becoming.
If we asked your muse to describe you using five words, what do you think they would say?
Unorganized, dedicated, loyal, mischievous, wicked
Name one thing readers would be surprised to know about you.
I have an irrational fear of heights. Even just thinking
about it makes me nauseous.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
In a log cabin somewhere in the mountains of New Mexico,
Colorado or Nevada.
If someone hasn't read any of your work, what book would you recommend that they start with and why?
One of my favorite books to write was “A Beautiful Lie”
because it’s set in my hometown, on the very lake where I currently reside. I enjoyed
reliving childhood memories as I recreated the world where my two heroes lived.
Where
do you find the inspirations for your stories?
Several of my stories are inspired
by songs. The idea of “A Beautiful Lie” came from “Some Nights”, by FUN.
“Aftermath: Guts and Glory” came to
me while listening to “I Drive Your Truck”, by Lee Brice.
Are
your characters able to love or do they need to be taught?
Most of my characters are quite
capable of loving, but some have trouble believing it’s okay to do so. Gay
romance isn’t as cut and dry as other genres because of the social repercussions
most couples in mainstream romance never have to face.
Do you have a book that was
easiest to write or one that was the hardest?
My new story coming in January, “The Becoming”, was the
easiest to write, but only because of the shorter length.
“Beyond Honor” was the most difficult because it was my
first attempt at M/M romance and I wrote it as a favor to friends who have
strong military ties. I didn’t want to get it wrong.
If you could collaborate
with one author who would it be?
I would love to collaborate with my beta-reader and sister
from another mister, author Avril Ashton.
I’d love to co-write a M/M themed story about a southern boy
who moves to New York City to start a new life and finds love with a bad-boy in
Brooklyn.
I think “A Cowboy in Brooklyn” sounds awesome!! J
Coffee, tea or other drink to
get you moving in the morning?
Coffee, coffee and when it’s cold outside, definitely
coffee!!
What is coming up from you in
2013? Anything you want to tease us with?
As I said before, “The Becoming” will be out in January. If
all goes well, it will be the first in a new M/M series about wolf-shifters set
in Texas titled, “Call of the Wolf.”
The second book, “The Promising” is almost finished.
I also have two other stand-alone, full-length stories I
hope to submit very soon.
Anything else you want to add?
Find me on Facebook and Twitter. I’d love to connect with
you.
The Becoming
Coming January 2014 from Evernight Publishing
Paranormal M/M
Every year, wolf packs
along the Texas Gulf Coast gather for what is known as the becoming. A ceremony where young adult shifters transition into
their wolf form for the first time and when each wolf’s spirits selects their
destined mate.
As the son of an alpha,
Josh Spinner has dreaded this day ever since he first realized he was gay, but
planned to go through with the becoming,
denying his true self forever.
Braden Scott, the only
son of an exiled omega wolf, has lived in the shadows of shame since his
father’s banishment before he was even born. The becoming was his only shot of ever being accepted into the fold.
Neither man expected
their undeniable attraction and neither are prepared for the fallout that
follows.
Natural
selection separates the men from the boys, but destiny seals their fate.

Excerpt:
Braden followed him for
several minutes until the light from the campfires faded into the darkness
behind them. Out of breath and feeling like he was about to come out of his own
skin, he backed off. “I’m just trying to figure it out, man.”
In an instant, Josh
stopped, turned on his heel and charged at Braden, slamming him against a tree.
Braden’s heart jumped
and his cock thumped the second he felt Josh’s erection pressing against his
hip.
“Leave me the fuck
alone.”
Braden drew in a deep
breath to calm himself. “Why?”
Josh’s nostrils flared
and he seemed to search Braden’s eyes. The tight strain on his brow loosened
with each passing second and he slowly released the intimidating hold on
Braden. “Because you’re gonna fuck everything up.”
Confused, Braden reached
out and gripped Josh’s shoulder. “I didn’t do anything.”
Josh’s gaze drifted down
to Braden’s mouth and he licked his lips. “I’ve never—”
“So you do feel it?”
Josh pushed away. “My
whole fucking life I’ve waited to feel … that.
Whatever it was.”
“I have, too.”
Josh’s chest rose and
fell and his expression twisted. “They won’t allow it.”
“You don’t know that.”
He shook his head.
“Yeah, I do.”
“Are there rules?”
“Rules?” Josh stepped
back and laughed sarcastically. “Some rules are the same in all societies,
shifter and human.”
Braden reached out for
him, unable to go another second without touching the other man. “I have to
know.”
“Know what?”
“This.” He grabbed Josh
by the collar of his shirt and jerked him near. “I gotta know, even if it’s
just one time, how it feels to be true to myself.”
Josh closed his eyes,
his nostrils flared wide and his hands trembled as he grasped Braden’s
shoulder.
Braden’s shaky exhale
echoed between them and he inched closer until he could literally taste Josh’s
breath. “Gotta—”
Josh’s mouth engulfed
his and Braden whimpered from the rush of emotions bombarding his entire body
like hot coals from a raging fire zapping out one by one, torpedoing his skin,
inch by glorious inch.
Braden wrapped his
tongue around Josh’s and sucked it into his mouth, deeper and deeper, as if
consuming the other man would satisfying his insatiable appetite for more. He
jammed his hardened cock against Josh’s and dry humped him through their jeans.
“Feels so right.”
