How often does your muse distract you from
day to day minutiae?
I live in the Frozen tundra of Minnesota
If you could be any paranormal creature what
would you be
I don't know if The Terminator is
a paranormal creature but I'd like to be a killer cyborg, charged with hunting
down and brutally dispatching bad guys in serious need of killing.
What do you do when you’re not writing?
I shovel snow. Actually all our
snow fell out east this year. In real life I am a handyman for hire. My stories
usually have confrontations with real life problems suitable for HGTV. I think
by grounding my stories in the reality
of leaky faucets, it helps make the fantasy elements more believable.
Are any of your characters like you?
Yes, my main male characters tend
to be like me, self effacing, witty, but sometimes clueless about the wiles of
women. As a writer I think it's important to have characters who can reveal
emotional truths. I'm not a good enough writer yet to create characters out of
thin air and imbue them with traits I don't understand.
Do you have a favourite quote from any of your
book(s)?
I have used a line in several of my stories
that comes from real life. Back in college (eons ago) a group of us guys played
basketball on Friday nights, then went out for copious quantities of beer. Over
beers, one of the guys had ants in his pants telling us about a girl he had
just met who invited him for dinner on Saturday night. The last thing she said
to him was "Rest up." Wow.
If a movie or TV production company chose to

these fine actors have played, but I also have a thing for Eva Mendez.
The Substitute
Breathless Press
Contemporary Romance
A substitute plumber's world turns upside down
when he discovers his buddy's business is providing more than plumbing services
to an exclusive female clientele.
A journeyman plumber breaks union rules, risking
the loss of his career, and assumes a false identity to substitute for an
injured friend who owns a non-union plumbing shop. When "Gary"
arrives on the job, he is stunned to discover that the client is expecting sex
and not plumbing services. It's the beginning of a day of surprises.
Motivated by his obligation to a friend and
seduced by the allure of the client, "Gary" has some of the best sex
of his life. He is at peace until he overhears the client making an immediate
referral to a friend. Torn between conscience and friendship, he accepts the
referral.
His day turns again as Britta initially spurns
his services, much to "Gary's" relief, then asks him to do some
plumbing work. While he is working, Britta slowly drops her hostile manner,
sharing more of her personal story. "Gary" finds himself longing for
a deeper connection, but has to dispel Britta's feelings of inadequacy and deal
with his hidden identity.
Teaser:
One
minute I was getting ready to install a new faucet for this really hot
divorcee. The next thing I knew, she was naked, splayed out on the massive onyx
granite kitchen island of her fabulous McMansion. Her legs over my shoulders,
my work pants on the floor, I'm banging her furiously. She was screaming and
panting, heavy breasts flopping like luscious melons, her pussy pouring out
love juice over my cock while she clutched the backs of her thighs. Her head
thrashed in the pile of her frosted, layered mane of silver and black hair. She
was so strong I thought she was going to lift my two-hundred-pound frame from
the floor as her back arched in the agony of a hard orgasm.
WTF?
I was
breaking all the rules that day, but the last one I ever expected to break was
fucking a client on the clock. But technically, she wasn't my client.
My
strange odyssey began when my plumbing trade school buddy, Steve, called me in
desperation from the ER where he was being treated for a severely turned ankle.
"Dude,
you gotta take this job for me today." His voice was full of mirth, making
me suspect he was loaded with painkillers.
"Steve,
you know I can't do that. I'm a union journeyman, and you're a non-union
shop."
I
couldn't work for one of my best friends, not within the rules the union had
set for us. Rules that protected us from exploitation, but limited our choices.
"It's
just one job, goddamnit. I don't have anyone else I can trust."
"Yeah, but that one job
could cost me my career."
