Please give J.T. Cheyanne a warm welcome on this Fab Friday!!
Happy Friday everyone! I am so
excited to be featured on Isabella’s blog this week and want to send a huge thank
you to her for hosting me and giving me a chance to dish on two of my favorite
guys, Spencer Hightower and Brock Kinkaid. These gorgeous men are featured in
my book Grand Slam. I wanted to do an interview with them, but Spencer’s
season is still going on and I hear the BoSox are having a dynamite season! Go
Team!
So, since I don’t get to talk to the
two smexies, I thought I’d tell you a bit about how they came to tell me their
story. It all started with that wicked vampire Lachi Denali…some of you may
know him, and if you do, you know he’s a wicked vampire king with a naughty
sense of humor. Anyway, he lives in my head…and says the most
inappropriate things at the oddest times…and yes it comes out of my mouth and
yes…my straightjacket is tailor made in cobalt blue.
On this lovely Saturday evening, I
was at McDonald’s with my daughter, Dakota, my son, Devan, and his girlfriend,
Ashton. Now my children are definitely used to Lachi, and Ashton is getting
there. She’ll say something and point at me and tell Lachi….the vampire in my
head mind you…to be quiet. It makes me grin. All of them are so accepting of
what I do…which by the way is writing gay erotica…and encourage me at every
turn. So, we’re at McDonald’s having a laugh and talking about how much the
vampire loves his angel, Laziel.
Out of the blue clear sky, Ashton
bites into a fry, chews and says…”If Devan were ever going to be gay, it would
be with Brock.” In real life and not in the gay whirlwind in my head, Brock is
my son’s best friend. They’ve been best friends since they were very
young and have supported each other through many of life’s ups and downs…death,
divorce, high school and baseball. Devan was the baseball player. Devan
rolls his eyes and laughs, says, “Why would I want Brock when I have you?”
Yes…an aww moment, my boy’s a charmer, true. So, we keep laughing, move on to
Lachi, but when I get in the car to drive home…Spencer showed up; a small town
Alabama boy who loves baseball and wants to hit the majors. He’s out and he’s
proud, and he would NOT shut up. I don’t think I’ve ever written so fast. I had
another book already started and he just bulldozed on in to tell me just how
much he loved his Brock.
I enjoyed every minute spent writing
this book. Devan and Ashton were excited to have given me the idea and asked
every time I saw them how it was going. Devan told Brock about the book and got
a laugh and head shake. When I got ready to do the book cover, I teased Devan
and told him I was going to use one of his senior pics, all decked out in his
baseball uniform. He shrugged, told me to go for it. He’s such a good
kid. I didn’t end up using his pic…I found a tremendous picture on a
stock photo site and the lovely Soxie created a beautiful cover for me.
And, there ya go. We now have Brock
and Spencer’s lovely story. For those of you who’ve already met them, an
update. Spencer is happy being a new dad and playing for the BoSox. He and
Brock live in Boston now with the twins. Brock runs his own CPA business from
home where he keeps Bri and Brit. They love to go watch Daddy Spencer play
ball. Brock still gets weak at the knees when he hears Spencer’s southern
drawl. Corey is still Spencer’s biggest fan…make that second after Brock…and
brags to everyone his uncle is famous. As for Anna Kate…she still wears her
pink wedding dress and absolutely adores her cousins.
BLURB:
All of his life,
Spencer Hightower dreamed of playing baseball in the Major Leagues. He survived
growing up gay in rural Alabama due to his impressive skill on the baseball
diamond. Now living in Rhode Island and playing for the AAA Pawtucket Red Sox,
he’s only a few steps away from his goal.
Brock
Kinkaid, CPA, faced each day with a smile that hid his deepest desire. He
wanted to be a father. Unfortunately, the gay men he knew were not into the
daddy scene. Resigned to being childless, he lavished his attention on his
niece and nephew. When Corey won tickets to see the local baseball team in
action, they suckered him into taking them despite the fact he loathed the
game. Who would have guessed one homerun ball would change everything?
