Book Boyfriends Cafe- Who Is Your Book Boyfriend's Celebrity Lookalike? Mine Are Two Hot Guys! For My Sexy MMF!

Book Boyfriend Cafe asks, 'Who is your hero's celebrity lookalike? If you had to cast the hero of your book or WIP, which actor or model would you like play the role?' 

When I wrote the first book in my Ferae series- Blood Bond, I had two very specific men in mind for the lead characters. In fact, I saw them living out the entire series in my imagination.  

So when I read Book Boyfriend's question as to who I'd like to cast as the lead for my hero in this case since my book is a MMF menage, heroes-- Hey that's easy! My guys are already picked out!

But first off I need to explain something. My guys aren't human. Well they are but they aren't. They are Ferae.  Ferae males are not your average alphas. They are men born outside of norms of human society because they are a separate and different species of humanity.  

Ferae are wilder, stronger, tougher species of mankind separate from our own and not prone to sentimentality and are at constant odds with their innate wild tendencies.  They must blend into sapien society though their lives are very different from the rest of normal mankind. 

They hide and pretend to be 'Homo Sapien Sapiens' in order to survive.  But they always know that they are 'Homo Sapien Ferae' and will never be like their sapien counter parts nor do they want to be. 

CIA Agent Colton McClain- Is A 'Rogue' Alpha Male.  Rogues are outcasts in Ferae society due to their inability to be around others within or out of their community. They exhibit a behavior called shunning- where they will actively try to stay away from all human contact. Though they can speak, they rarely do and they stare a lot. Their genetic disease is picked up by other ferae by scent.  

Colton is also Half Homo Sapien Sapien. His mother, a homo sapien sapien female, married and mated with two other Ferae Males. He finds himself at war with his more sensitive side as it goes against the values he was taught as a child regarding his status as an alpha male.

Colton is a natural born leader who was able to overcome his Rogue'ism via training and rehabilitation with the CIA who continue to help him in this area. An above the curve male, he graduated high school at 15.  He is extremely resourceful, intelligent, devious, and cunning dominant male.  Arrogant to a point, he possesses a wicked and curious sense of humor often making light of things during serious situations.  It takes a lot to get to him.  But when it does. Watch out.  

My Inspiration for Half Human/Half Ferae Alpha Male- CIA Agent Colton McClain

The second male/hero of the book is CIA Assassin Jarrod Stevens.  A pure breed Level One Alpha Male, he has a disposition towards patience.  He can sit and wait for hours before making his move and then do it lethally if necessary.  He comes from a high ranking family in the clade unlike his spouse Colton. 

He too is a Rogue but unlike Colton, he is more severely affected by his disease. He was able to overcome a lot of it via help from his parents and the CIA who honed his skills then guided him towards an area within the agency that was better suited for his quiet nature i.e. Targeted Killings. 

He served many years in Special Forces before being recruited by the CIA's Special Activities Division.  

Because of his disease and his status in Ferae society resulting from it, he never thought he'd find any mates to marry.  Now that he has them, he is fiercely protective of them.  He is a dominant and assertive male who's alpha maleness is never in doubt by anyone around him.  

I would describe Jarrod as being the strong and silent type. He also is loyal as he is lethal. 

My Inspiration for Pure Blooded Full Breed Rogue Alpha Male- CIA Assassin Jarrod Stevens

Colton and Jarrod would do anything to protect the woman they love. And I mean anything!

Believe me, with images of these guys in my head, it was a pleasure writing this series.  Look for Book 2 in the Ferae series coming to you early in 2015 from Siren Publishing.

Blurb

Time is running out for CIA Agent Colton McClain. Caught between two worlds, he must choose—his Ferae side or human; he can’t have both. Haunted by his own failures and his family's past, Colton refuses to follow their same path. 

His wife Lizzie and his husband Jarrod are caught in the middle. Threatened by the townspeople for having a marriage with two alpha males instead of the traditional alpha and beta, the clock is ticking on how long they can live together as a family. 

Add on the fact that one of them gets the Rut because of their unconventional relationship, all bets are off that they will maintain the happiness they so desire. But their love is strong; still, can it defeat Colton’s fears? He is the key. Now he must act.

Move Out of The Way, I'm Trying To See!

... But inevitably I was like the owl moving away from her hand just so I could see.

So in honor of my sainted mother's due diligence to keep me from going astray, here are some the scenes my  mom blocked from childhood....


Princess Leia and Han Solo's Kiss

Clark Griswold and the Mysterious Lady Skinny Dipping

 Ellen Ripley stripping in Alien.  (I still can't figure out why she had to take her clothes off to get into that suit.)

And finally, last but by no means the least...

The movie Airplane.  I swear I missed like 90 percent of this film.

Trust me there were more, but these were the most outstanding and the ones I really attempted to out maneuver her hand.  

Thank you mom for keeping my pure mind safe.  I'll never forget it!  Btw, my latest book, an Erotic Menage Romance, Blood Bond, is on sale now at Siren Bookstrand.

Don't forget to watch out for that hand!

My Top Six Favorite Star Trek Movies- Yep, I'm a Trekkie Too and I Write Romance!

According to my recollection there have been a total of  twelve feature films in the Star Trek franchise.   Beginning in 1979 to the present release 2013.  That’s thirty-four years of boldly going where (at first it was ‘no man’ but became…) no one has gone before and I’m not even counting the tv show’s initial start in the 1966 that spawned countless spin offs!

And the crazy part is, I’ve scene every single one of them at the movie theaters.  That is so messed up.  I really am a scifi geek.  But I blame my dad for that cause I was born a scifi geek, I was converted!  That’s an entirely different post…


6.  Star Trek III-- The Search for Spock

Wait, they actually killed off Kirk’s son?  Spock isn’t dead any more.  Yay!!  The action was pretty good too.

5. Star Trek II-- The Wrath of Khan

It made me cry and showed how much they all cared for each other as friends.  The pain, Kirk endured upon watching Spock die- like I said it made me cry.

4 .Star Trek IV-- the Voyage Home  

A perennial favorite they are best friends and family all rolled into one.  They know each other care for each other and have repartee all their own.  And poor Spock, he’s half gone, half their because of the soul/brain transplant he’s just under gone- he’s hilarious as he tags along with Kirk just generally being himself- very straight faced yet backing every bit of Kirk’s play.  At this point they’ve been together so long they’ve dropped pretty much all pretense of a military structure it’s like visiting old friends.  Oh and did I mention the great environmental message that is the center of the story?

3.  Star Trek VI-- The Undiscovered Country  

Arguably the most introspective of the Star Trek movies to date it examines so many issues from resistance to change, to getting old and bigotry.  

The last movie in the series for the original cast, it is the ultimate swan song.  It was as if the writers, director, cast and producers knew it was time for them to move on and they did it in style including the personal signatures featured in the end credits.   

In this film, the main crew members are old and grizzled on the verge of retirement. One has actually left in favor of his own command- Sulu.

In a surprise turn of events they are called to extend an olive branch of peace to a group of people whom they’ve considered their enemies for their entire career.  

Instead of becoming sullen and morose and possibly  melodramatic, the tone was humorous and respectful of the simmering anger that all the characters felt for having to ‘deal with each other under the circumstances.’

Though the serious were many a  few of my funny tid bits from the movie perfectly frame and lesson the underlying bigotry that many of the crew feel towards their Klingon frienemies.  For instance, two Federation guards, who by the way are instruments of a bigger conspiracy by the Klingons and Federation officers to keep up the Cold War, are discussing the appearance of the Klingon delegation on board the Enterprise.

One of them says,  “Did you get a load of that smell?”

The other replies, “They all look alike.”

“Only Top of the Line Models can speak.”

I mean you can mine this movie for years regarding its examination of prejudice in society.

And then there were the quotes from Shakespeare along with Elizabethan in design uniforms all speaking to Kirk’s torturous choice between devil of serving a cause he does not believe or disobeying a group he has spent his entire defending.

From the examination of bigotry and fear of change to the use of great literature to hone the point that this is an eternal human condition is astounding.

The people around them are the most human and identifiable to the people we are like in contemporary American and/or human society…not to say all of contemporary human society is represented by American society…

Leonard Nimoy was an Executive Producer and contributor of the story development.

2.  Star Trek-- 2009

I didn’t expect to like it at first.  And then I saw it and it was action packed, updated, yet true to the heart of the series.  The characters were young and full of passion.  The story was engaging and deep.  I was like- Yes J.J. and the gang- great job.  Bring on more.  And it helped that Spock and Kirk were kinda hot too.  Never thought of them that way before.  He also promised to readjust to the story line. 

1.  Star Trek: Into Darkness--2013

 JJ Abrams swan song as director for the series, I think.  I loved.  In my opinion better than the first.  Continues the story line whilst revisiting some of the stuff in the original cast’s movie series.  And Khan played by Benedict Cumberbatch-- Dayum!  Hot! 

After the first viewing I stopped rooting for Kirk and the gang and switch sides.  Team Khan!  Oh wait did I say that out loud?  Although not as popular as the first by many hardcore trekkies and in general in the American domestic box office, it was still good and worthy of praise.  

The connections he made between the two, ‘farewells,’ (his and the original casts were so call. I’ve seen it referred to by meany fans on the net as ’Easter Eggs) 

Some of them are  Sulu in command… not quite like Undiscovered Country but reminiscent.

Surgery on a Torpedo between Spock and McCoy…. In ST:ID surgery on torpedo between Mccoy and Dr. Marcus and Mccoy and Spock.  

There’s a shot of the Klingon Homeworld\, where Khan has taken refuge.  Next to it, we see the Klingon moon, Praxis.  It appears partially destroyed.  (Despite the fact that in the original series, it was completely destroyed decades later due to over mining.)

I’m sure there are many more but those are the fun ones I can think of now, aside from bringing in the Khan story line but that was in the second movie of the original series but an Easter Egg nonetheless.

It was a great movie and Benedict, who portrays a modernized Sherlock Holmes on the BBC or PBS depending on where you watch it, hit it out the park with his ferocity, yet desired to protect his family. 

I recommend you see it as soon as you can!  And then whip out the DVD’s and play the original movies and see if you can pick out the connections.


Live Long and Prosper

Or 

Good Luck.
