Best Laid Plans by DC Juris

Title: Best Laid Plans
Author: DC Juris
Pages: 167
Publisher: Breathless Press
Characters: Kale, Perry
POV: 1st person
Sub-genre: Transgender, Romance
Kisses: 3


Blurb:

Disowned by his family for being transgender, Kale drained his bank account and set out to go as far as the money would take him planning to make a new life for himself. But when the money stopped, he found himself homeless, his plans pretty much screwed.

Perry set out to find a male hooker to slate his lust. Instead he found a handsome young man who insisted he wasn’t a prostitute. Can they work past their differences and see what’s in front of them, or will their best laid plans drive them apart?

Review:

I liked Kale, he is a sweet young man who is comfortable in his own skin (f to m). I found it hard to believe why he would put himself in danger selling himself on the streets, yes to put a roof over his head BUT mainly to see Perry on Tuesday nights.

Perry is a middle age gay man with a teenage daughter who lives in another state. I can see how he starts to have feeling for Kale, who has not been honest with him about being transgender…( they had not gotten past oral sex). When Kale tells him, Perry was very cruel to Kale, though I have to give it to Perry he does research the difference between transgender and transvestism.

I also liked the character of Enrique, Kale’s friend though we didn’t get to see him much or Perry’s daughter who we only met on a phone call. Although this was a sweet story with a scary moment for Kale it was very short and introduced characters who could have enriched the story. Unfortunately, they were not allowed to develop more and were largely ignored once introduced. This was a story I could have loved and maybe there will be a sequel that will give this story the time it deserves.

How will Vodwynn react when he learns the sacrifice Hadryk has made to keep him safe?

Finally done with war and fighting, Hadryk, a military officer, has agreed to be a pup host – to be impregnated – in order to protect his lover, Vodwynn, and he can’t hide the proof much longer. Embarrassed and worried, he considers staying with his brother instead of going home, but, drawn by his love, he goes home to Planet Torbid and Vodwynn. Vodwynn reacts as anyone would. But when he realizes the sacrifice Hadryk has made, can he change his mind? Can he open his heart to discover the new wonders of Hadryk’s body, and how strong their love truly is?

Review:

Wow, I knew DC Juris was an author that wrote stories that were different, and they also suck you in a way that will cause to you think…WOW, if only this could really happen! I just love the way his mind works! I just wish the story was longer, so i could have gotten to know Vodwynn and Hadryk more. It was would have been interesting to see how the pregnancy might have brought them even closer together, as well as the fun they could have found with his body as it changed throughout the pregnancy.

Nothing to Forgive shows you that no matter what life throws your way, when you find the one you are meant to be with, no matter what they will be by your side through it all. That to me is what keeps me coming back for more in reading books like these. I can’t wait to see what DC rights next!

YAY! DC Juris is with us today from MLR Press

 

 

DC, thank you for taking some down time and spending it with us. Let’s start this off with a beverage. We have coffee, tea, some sort of juice (I think it’s been in here a few weeks) and soda. What would you like?

Thanks for having me! I’ll take a decaf coffee, heavy on the cream and sugar.

Charles! Please bring DC the low grade juice.

DC, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

 For those who don’t know me, I’m a bisexual transgender fella, married to the most amazing man in the world, still looking for the woman of my dreams, and I write GLBTQ romance. I have three dogs and three cats. I enjoy long walks on the beach and…oh. ::ahem:: Never mind. J

When you received news that your manuscript had been accepted what were the first words that fell from your mouth?

I read the e-mail, called up my husband and said, “Guess who just sold an mpreg story?!? THIS GUY!!” LOL I’d already had it turned down a couple times because of the content, so I was thrilled to find a home for it.

 

What forces brought you over to the MM Genre and what made you want to write it?

Growing up, I didn’t relate to the characters in romances, and that left me pretty disillusioned. The first story I ever wrote started out an m/f, but morphed into an m/m/f. I ended up doing a search for “gay stories” on Amazon. I found MJ Pearson’s “Discreet Young Gentleman.” The rest is history.

Would you care for some cookies? We have chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal with or without raisins and a package of mystery ones. We have cake too. Your choice.

As long as the cookies are gluten free, I’ll take peanut butter.

 

But of course! We knew you were coming and Charles made a special plate just for you! Charles! DC’s cookies please!

DC, how many hours a day do you spending writing?

Not as many as I’d like. My Evil Day Job takes a lot out of me mentally, so daily writing is tough. But on Wednesdays and the weekends I spend as much time as I can. I’ve been known to write from 9 AM to 3 AM on those days.

Do you write right through or do you revise as you go along?

I write things down as they come to me and piece them together later, then I revise.

 When it comes to plotting, do you write freely or plan everything in advance?

 I have a general idea of where the story is going, but I don’t plan things out. That just feels unorganic to me. I’ll jot down notes, but that’s about it.

Of your characters do you have a favorite and why?

I have several favorites, all for different reasons, but Derek from Even Guys Cry is probably my overall favorite, because he’s a lot like me.

Writers often go on about writer’s block. Do you ever suffer from it, and what measures do you take to get past it?

I had writers block once, in 2009. It was during a very, very dark time for me. I’d lost two people very close to me, and my world was spinning out of control. It came down to, quite literally, write or die. I looked in the mirror one night, after several months of this, and said to myself, “you’re going to write, or I’m going to end it.” And I’m reasonably certain I meant that. Writing has always been a part of me – it defines me in so many ways. To be without those voices in my head… Well, at the risk of sounding nuts, I didn’t know how to function. That same night, I wrote from 8 PM until 8 AM the next morning, non stop. Several really good stories came out of that.

Do you have a particular spot in your house that you call your comfy zone? (The place where you write.)

I have a writing office, but really, I can write anywhere. Growing up, my writing wasn’t respected, so I had to grab time anywhere I could. I can write in the tub, on the toilet, while cooking, and I’ve even been known to drive down the street with a notebook balanced across the steering wheel. LOL

When you’re in the mindset to write, do you put a sign up that warns others not to disturb you while at work?

LOL Have you met me? I don’t need a sign to warn anyone off. But seriously, no. My Hubby is very respectful of my time.

How would you describe your sense of humor? Who and what makes you laugh?

Dry and darkly sick. LOL I loved Seinfeld. I really love Ron White, Jeff Dunham, and John Stewart.

What is the most frequently asked DC Juris question?

“Do you wear a penis all the time?” Seriously. That’s life in the spotlight, folks. LOL And the answer is no.

What are you working on now?

I have 21 WIPs currently. I’m in the middle of a short story for a charity anthology, and I’ve got a fantasy thing I’m starting after that. Both m/m.

Writing is obviously not just how you make your living, but your life-style as well. What do you do to keep the creative “spark” alive – both in your work and out of it?

I don’t really have any trouble being creative – it’s just always something I’ve done.

What kind of books do you like to read outside of the MM Genre?

I don’t read m/m at all, with only a very few exceptions. In general I don’t actually read all that often, but when I do, I go for Peter David and Richard Knaak. My all time favorite book is The Island of Doctor Moreau by HG Wells, and I’ve read it over 100 times. Not even kidding. If I’m bored or feeling ill or just looking to kill time, I’ll read it. I read it twice on the plane to GRL this year.

Pick one: Scientist, Astronaut, Retail, or Horse Trainer-

Good God not retail – been there, done that. It’s really cold in space, so that’s a no-go. I’d say scientist but those are always the guys who end up releasing the zombie apocalypse. But horses might kick me… Eh. Horse trainer, I guess.

Aside from writing, what else do you enjoy doing?

Photography, going to thrift stores, going to drag shows, going on long drives to nowhere, baking cupcakes.

Any special projects coming out soon we should watch for?

I’ve got a few releases slated for this year. ::sly smile::

Two of a Kind by DC Juris

Title: Two of a Kind
Author: D.C. Juris
Publisher: Fanny Press
Pages: 106
POV: 3rd
Sub-Genre: Contemporary
Kisses: 4.5

Blurb:

Two of a Kind continues the story of Vincent and Eric, which DC Juris began in his novel, Finding Sanctuary.
Vincent and his childhood friend Eric became a couple after Eric initiated him into the pleasures of the Playhouse, a refuge for men to act out their submission/Domination fantasies. Their relationship is warm and loving, but not exclusive. Eric is a “switch,” and since Vincent is a submissive, Eric sometimes looks to his own Dom, Anton, for satisfaction—causing Vincent to feel jealous and insecure. Then Anton’s uncle dies and Dimitri—Anton’s twin and a troubled, surly, irresistibly sexy version of his brother—comes for a visit. When Dimitri sets his sights on Vincent, ridiculing his supposed sexual passivity, Vincent begins to wonder: is he really a sub, or a switch, like Eric? In the first blush of their relationship, Vincent and Eric reveled in their connection, calling themselves “two of a kind.” Perhaps they are also alike in ways that challenge their current power dynamic. Two of a Kind continues the story of Vincent and Eric, which DC Juris began in his novel, Finding Sanctuary.

Review:

Wow! D.C., I loved this follow up! I remember bugging you for the sequel and here it is. I picked the book up, and read this baby through one sitting. That is hard for me to do, given what I do, so, Bravo!

This is the sequel to Finding Sanctuary which we covered here: That story was just awesome, it pushed envelopes and in this one, it’s the same characters however, the level of BDSM is not as intense here.

Vincent, who if you’ll remember was our lost guy from the first story, is back with Eric as his partner/ his Dom. He loves him, there is no doubt about that but when Eric, who is a switch and often calls upon his onetime Dom, Anton for things he should be going to Vincent for, this creates a crack in their solid foundation. There are times Eric and Anton get their subs together and they all have a foray in the bedroom, that often lands the four of them in the same bed.

Then Anton’s uncle dies and low and behold his twin, Dimitri enters the scene and he’s like a whirlwind of lost and trouble, all in one. He’s a drug addict, he loves to play games, he’s sexy as all get out of course and he has his sights set on none other than Vincent. And Vincent, feeling rejected/hurt by his partners closeness with Anton, falls into Dimitri’s trap, just once but that was enough to possibly end what he and Eric have built up to that point in trust.

I really enjoyed this story and I’m making a formal plea to D.C. to write Anton’s story next. No plot holes, true to life characters, a wonderful story line and I have to say that I really liked Anton. A lot. Not to mention Dimitri, even if he is the bad boy. I have a thing for badboys.

Matthew is going insane. But the man reaching out to Matthew in his visions might be his only chance to find the truth or his true love.
Matthew is going insane. How else can he explain remembering things he doesn’t own or trips his wife never took? Not to mention the visions, and the phantom in the café. But when the man in the visions reaches out to him with an explanation, and the phantom from the café tracks him down, things start to make a little more sense. Morgan is a devout Christian. He believes in God, heaven, hell, and the Bible. But his world spins out of control when his husband Matthew disappears and a mysterious man tells a tale outside the realm of reality. How can Morgan put his faith in something so far-fetched? And what will happen to Matthew if he doesn’t?

Review:

When DC decides he wants to write a story to keep you guessing he really does a hell of a job at it. I will be honest, I have to be. I really found myself lost at the start of the story, I had no idea what in the world happened, one second Matthew and Morgan are discussing chips in the car in the parking lot of the grocery store, and the next Matthew is melting from the heat and grumbling over Morgan taking so long about buying a box of crackers. When finally the door to the car opens and closes, it’s not Morgan sitting in the seat of the car without air, it’s a woman named Stephanie, and apparently she’s his wife.

Call me confused, I can’t wait for you to read Matthews thoughts, and you too will be, but there’s a method behind the madness of this story. Once we are in Matthews head for sometime with him thinking he’s lost his mind, we are also thinking maybe we have read something wrong, or missed something, that is until you get to his husband’s POV, Morgan. Then we know something fishy is going on here.

I encourage you to read this story, I promise, DC does pull it off with skill of a seasoned writer, there are no plot holes, the characters are very well done, and my heart loves Morgan. He’s a sweet man who loves his husband dearly. Poor Matthew on the other hand is clueless and lost for most of the book, but I’ll gladly put that on DC. Thank you, DC, for keeping my mind working and ready for more.

A Brown Eyed Handsome Man by DC Juris

Publisher: Torquere Press

Characters: Drake, Rocky
POV: 3rd
Sub-Genre: Transgendered Contemporary Romance
Kisses: 4.25

Blurb:

Angela has put her dreams of living an out and proud life as a transgender man on hold because of her husband, who can’t understand. But a chance encounter at a bar changes everything. Rocky sees Drake for the brown eyed handsome man he is, not the plumbing between his legs. Can Rocky convince Angela to let go of her fears and embrace life as Drake?

Review:

This is the first book I’ve read by DC Juris and it definitely won’t be my last. I haven’t had the privilege of reading many transgendered romances, and I was lucky enough to be able to read and review this book. Mr. Juris does an excellent job at describing the fear and insecurities that Drake has at being a female to male transgendered hero. One of the things I really loved about this book was: Mr. Juris really gets to the heart and soul of his characters. I thought both Drake and Rocky were realistically written (especially Drake) and both men seemed to live and breathe off of the written page.

Angela is an unhappy woman. She’s had to put her feelings and need to live as a man on hold. Her husband doesn’t understand her need to live as a man, instead he chooses to believe that she’s going through some kind of phase, causing Angela to feel depressed over not being loved and appreciated for who she really is.

As an outlet, Angela goes to a gay bar as Drake. As Drake he feels better and more at ease living in his skin, even though he still has anxieties over transitioning and being looked at as a real man. Just as Drake decides to leave, he meets the handsome and understanding Rocky who seems to really accept and want Drake for who he is. But, Drake lives a complicated life. Will Drake be able to work through them to have a shot at happiness with the sexy Rocky?

I wish this book has been longer. I would have loved to have watched Drake really evolve into being more confident in his own skin. The great thing is, Drake is starting to get there and it was a pleasure to see Rocky appreciate him for the man is already is and will come to be.

I’m looking forward to reading more by Mr. Juris, and will definitely be watching for more books by him in the future. His ability to grab this reader’s attention and make me care about his characters in a short amount of time, speaks of his talent and sensitivity as a writer. Recommended!

Do I Know You? by DC Juris

::waves:: Hi folks. I’m DC Juris. For those of you who don’t know me… Wait! ::gasp:: You don’t know me?? ::flails about:: I’m flabbergasted. I’m flummoxed. I’m… I’m… ::chuckles:: No, but seriously, for those of you who don’t know me, I’m a transgender male writer of GLBTQ and heterosexual romance – mostly contemporary and fantasy. Go look me up real quick. http://www.dcjuris.com. We’ll wait.

::taps foot:: Sheesh. What’s taking so long?? Do you have dial-up or something??

Ah! You’re back. Good. Now, get comfy. I’mma rant and ramble for a bit.

I’ve long been a champion of bringing down gender barriers. Not just the old fashioned notions that pink is for girls and blue is for boys, but the more sinister ones – that men are stupid, that women are easy, that men who show emotions are sissies, and that strong women are bitches.

Color me shocked when the very first review of “Asian Persuasion” suggested I was perpetuating the stereotype that men think with their dicks.

Me? O.o

I lamented about the review to my youngest son, who we call The Boy. The Boy wanted to know how many men were involved in the relationship portrayed in my story. Well, two. The Boy shook his head and snickered. “Then you’re saying one of those guys thinks with his dick. If the story doesn’t contain every man on the planet, then you’re only talking about the guys in the story. Besides, lots of guys think with their dicks.”

Aside from being impressed at his use of logic, I was perplexed. How could I, on one hand, accuse others of furthering stereotypes when they’d only done the same thing I had – show two men and one relationship. On the other hand, had I perpetuated a stereotype?? That certainly hadn’t been my intent.

Actually, “Asian Persuasion” is based on something that happened to two real-life men I know, and it happened pretty much as I penned it. I took creative license with a couple small details, but overall, that’s the real story. The guys I based the story on believe that “sex without emotional commitment isn’t cheating.” If I agree with them or not had nothing to do with telling the story. I talked to them both at length after the story came out. One of them suggested, “maybe you should’ve put ‘based on a true story’ at the beginning.” Maybe I should’ve. ::shrugs::

Fast forward to this week. I received an e-mail from one of my readers. In the e-mail was a link to a blog which suggested that men don’t link sex with love – that such is a romantic female notion – and hinted that gay men aren’t typically monogamous. The overall theme – or at least, what I took away from the blog, was that, hey, if a guy cheats it’s just sex and doesn’t mean anything. After all, he’s got an attached penis. You can’t really blame him for acting out – he’s just wired that way. I’ll repeat – that’s what I took away from the blog – my interpretation.
In any event, my reader had interpreted the blog much as I had. He ranted for a couple paragraphs – several four letter words were involved – about how he was a gay man and he hadn’t had sex until he’d been well into a committed relationship which he was still in after twenty years, and he had never cheated on his partner once, and he didn’t even look at other men anymore – hadn’t since he’d fallen in love. He fully understood that the blog portrayed some men correctly, but not him – therefore not all, and he was right pissed about it!

He then pitched me a story idea, and asked if I’d run with it. He wanted to prove a point through two characters. I replied to him that, of course I was honored, agreed with him, but anything I write is just fiction – it’s not bound to prove any points or change any minds. He replied that he knew that, but he wanted the record set straight, at least for him, and he wanted to see himself accurately portrayed. He didn’t believe romance was a fairy tale – he was living proof of such. So, I agreed, and added another WIP to my board.

And all this got me thinking about the original statements. That I’d perpetuated a stereotype, and The Boy’s interpretation that I hadn’t. Who was right?

I thought about the people I knew in my life. Some of them absolutely fall into stereotypical outlines. I know flaming queens. I know frigid butches. I know over-the-top masculine men. I know weepy, unable-to-make-a-decision men. I know shrinking violets. I know women who are just waiting for a man to sweep them off their feet. I know couples who are together for the kids. I know couples who are together for the tax benefits. I know couples who divorced after their kids turned eighteen. I know middle-aged men who drive fancy cars and honk at scantily clad young women. I know some of those scantily clad young women. I know ditzy blonds. I know feisty redheads. I know skeevy gay guys. I know fastidiously clean gay guys. I know women who sleep with anything with a penis. I know men who sleep with anything with a vagina. I know tragic, emo individuals who do nothing but bitch and moan. I know former fat people who are now self righteous skinny people. I know fat people who overindulge all the time. I know fat people who barely eat. I know skinny people who think they’re fat. I know skinny people who eat and eat and don’t gain a pound. I know slimy looking child molesters. I know average, every day girl and guy next door types. I know Italian men who are obsessed with their hair and say “hey, how you doin’?” to every woman they meet. And I know women who swoon and giggle when they do. I know women who are more concerned with how they look that who they vote for. I know racist bastards. I know tree huggers.

All of those are stereotypes, and all of those people exist.

So what does that all mean?

Maybe it means that we, as a whole, as a society, should look at the individual worth of a person – judge them on their own merits – instead of holding them up against a measuring stick founded on our own preconceived notions. Maybe it means we should be more open minded about the people we meet. Not decide who and what they are based on an out-dated thought process of shoving everyone into a box.
Or maybe it means we shouldn’t judge at all.

Alastair Luna has come to Cherry Grove, Pennsylvania to immerse himself in country living as research for his next book. Cherry Grove is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of New York City, but Alastair discovers that some things, like attraction and lust, are universal.

Review:

This is a cute little story about an author, Alastair who is from New York and headed to Cherry Grove to do live research on a farm for his next book. What he expects and who he meets during his visit shocks the hell right out of him and shows the reading audience never to judge a book by its cover. Not everything is as it appears.

Of course I wanted to see more of the two characters, but shorts are a short for a reason. Something to give us to hold us over for what’s to come. I’m sure of it. Overall, it’s a cute story, well done characters and great description of the ranch we’re visiting. I just have to wonder now if Alastair is still there?

Okay, not going to get too much into this because it is a shortie but I have to tell you that each word, each sentence, each paragraph is simply awesome. The set up from beginning to end really kept me glued to this from page one to page no more. The characters, in seventeen short pages really stood out, very fleshed out, even the secondary ones without too much telling. DC is outstanding when it comes to doing that. I know many don’t like short stories because they are left wanting more, or feel the story has been rushed, but I have to tell you, this little one here is worth every penny and wonderful entertainment for just a little while. In addition, you get the benefit of having read about two awesome men and a great sweet story.

POV: third person
Sub-Genre: mm romance fantasy
Kisses: 4

Blurb:

Escaped from a prison camp, is Meldrick still the man Faldor loved? Can Meldrick reconcile who is with who he was, or will betrayal win?

Two years after he lost his soul mate to the war, Faldor still pines for Meldrick. His world is turned upside down when Meldrick appears on his doorstep late one night, seemingly back from the dead. Finally escaped from a prison camp, Meldrick protects a dark secret—one that could rip their rekindled love apart if Faldor ever learned the truth. But the longer they’re together, the more questions come up. What really happened two years ago? How did Meldrick escape the prison camp after so long? Is Meldrick still the man Faldor fell in love with? Can Meldrick reconcile who he is with who he was and move beyond his treachery, or will betrayal win?

Review:

Betrayed is a mm romantic fantasy set in a fictional world in which ogres, elves, and mystical healers exist. It is the story of a knight named Meldrick who is one of the king’s most loyal warriors. Meldrick falls in battle and is taken prisoner. He is enslaved for seven months in a prison camp where he is repeatedly tortured and forced to rape and torture his fellow captives.

When Meldrick learns that his kingdom has been conquered and his lover killed, he despondently gives in to his captors and tells them all they want to know. There is no point in keeping secrets any more. He has nothing to live for. After he spills his guts and tells all, his captors release him and he learns it was all a ploy. His kingdom has not been captured nor has his lover been killed, but he has been tricked into betraying both.

For such a short story I was impressed by the world building. I think the author did an amazing job of conveying the setting and the atmosphere of the fantastical location. There were occasional contemporary references, usage of terms such as “blow job” that didn’t seem to fit, but for the most part the vernacular was consistent.

In all honesty, main characters like Meldrick are not my favorite. But I think this says more about my personal bias than it does about the story or the writing. He was by no means a sensitive man, although this doesn’t mean he wasn’t a sympathetic character. My heart broke for him and all he went through. I was taken aback somewhat by the way this sadistic side seemed to have been awakened within him after his imprisonment. There was a very disturbing revenge scene toward the end in which I hoped Meldrick would ultimately take the high road and be able to forgive. I suppose that to do so would not have been in character for him, though.

I’ve yet to read a story by DC Juris that I did not like. The writing was superb and the characters were relatable. This novella was an entertaining read with very sensual, erotic love scenes and a few unexpected plot twists. Overall it is a worthwhile read, in my opinion.
