First off, thanks Tracy for allowing me to come on the blog to talk about my new book Townie and the Twink (Men of Holsum College 3.) It’s my latest adventure in luring former-straight-boys into the world of gay love. 🙂
The best thing about writing questioning young men is I get to tell first-time sex stories. Over and over. I LOVE virgin heroes. Love, love, love. But finding virgins in the modern world is as difficult as it was for Lauren Hutton in Once Bitten.
Where can I find an adorable, sexy boy like the young Jim Carrey? Well…it’s easier to imagine if the guy in question is actually gay. Maybe the guy’s had sex with girls, but not guys? Or he never had sex because he was unsure about his sexuality? There are only so many reasons to remain a virgin, but writing gay-for-you stories definitely broadens my options.
First times are just so much fun. First love, first sex, first threesome, first trip to a sex-toy shop. Even though most peoples’ first sexual encounters are awkward, that makes them all the more fun to write about.
I love it when a hero trips because his pants are wrapped around his ankles, or when a dildo slips out of someone’s hand because they added too much lube. It’s not just the comedy of those moments that makes them awesome it’s the endearing emotion.
Lovers make mistakes, but how they handle those mistakes determines the course of their relationship. Do they freak out? Blame the other person? Blame them selves and get mopey? Do they work together to figure out what they both need? Characters can grown closer or fall apart, all based on how they handle and overly-tight nipple clamp.
Love scenes don’t work for me when they’re too choreographed. I can’t write the suave, practiced lover who knows what his paramour needs at every moment. I need to write about two people, feeling their way through things, and creating something new.
How about you? Do you like sex to go smoothly? Or do you like a few bumpy rocks along the way?

Insightful to a fault, Gabe knows Nick’s gay even if Nick doesn’t. And after seeing how the townie looks at his “buddy”, Gabe knows Nick is in love with a guy who’ll never love him back. So Gabe invites Nick to campus parties and to hang out with new people. But soon their friendship turns physical and Gabe wonders if he’s in just as much denial as Nick is.
Nick’s straight—or so he’s always assumed. But he can’t deny that the things he’s doing with Gabe are hot. More than that, he likes Gabe in a way he’s never liked anyone else. Well, anyone else except his high school friend, John.
The hardest thing to give up is a fantasy, and the hardest thing to face is the truth. But if Nick wants the man standing in front of him, he’ll have to give up the one he never had.

Excerpt:
Nick ran his hand down Gabe’s chest, circling his nipple. He’d never thought much before about whether men might like their nipples played with, but as he listened to Gabe’s breath catch, he knew Gabe enjoyed it. “D’you like this?”“Maybe.” Gabe yelped. “Which will make you keep doing that?”Nick pinched the tip between his teeth. Then he lapped gently. It didn’t seem like Gabe wanted it hard. Instead, Gabe shivered and writhed for licks and nuzzles.“D’you wanna have sex?” Gabe looked down at him, all dark eyes and black lashes.Nick kissed his way lower, to Gabe’s belly where his dark trail of hair led to his cock. He didn’t know if he was ready for sex, though Nick was pretty sure that when Gabe meant sex, he meant for Nick to be the one on top. He didn’t even know how he knew. It was just the way things seemed to work with them. “I dunno,” he answered. Nick stroked Gabe’s erection. His uncut cock was damp at the tip and dark with arousal.“You don’t have to go down on me.” Gabe shifted, though he didn’t push Nick away. “I know some guys are weird about doing it if you’re uncircumcised.”“Wusses, man.” Nick gave a little, derisive snort. Since he’d never gone down on a guy, he hadn’t thought about which type of penis he’d prefer. But he got the sense that someone had made Gabe feel bad about his body. And Nick hated whoever that person was. Nick buried his face in the crease of Gabe’s thigh, smelling his musk and feeling him quiver. Then he kissed his way up the side of his cock, over the skin that was looser than the flesh on his own, and to his salty cap. When he brushed his lips over Gabe’s helmet, Gabe jerked.“Wow. That’s…” Gabe stared down at Nick with something like reverence in his eyes. “It’s different with you.” His eyes were soft and dewy.Nick couldn’t help but smile. “Yeah, it’s different for me, too.” Nick licked him up the side, then around the cap before winking. “Y’know, with you having a dick and all.”Gabe rolled his eyes. He scrubbed his hand through Nick’s hair—rough, the way Nick liked it. “Shut up and suck my cock, straight boy.”

Hey Daisy! Thanks for visiting.
I'm with you – I loved virgin heroes. They're good in m/f books but something about them in m/m really attracts me. *sigh* I'm reading one now with a very shy virgin hero and it's great! 🙂
I do like virgin heroes, if it's realistic. I can't quite get on board with a book where the absolutely stunning guy is a virgin at, say, 40. 🙂
Chris—lol. Yeah, that's the old standby. The underwear model who's all shy and quiet and still a virgin at 35. 🙂
I struggle with this with my Holsum College series—making kids old enough to legally drink while still young enough to be believable virgins. And yeah, it takes a little suspension of disbelief. But I like to think I pull it off. 🙂
Tracey—thanks for having me on the blog!
Really? An underwear model remains virgin even at age 35??
