Trouble & The Wallflower: Seven Sentence Sunday #2

Hey all! Another 7 Sentence Sunday here to get y'all amped up for Trouble & the Wallflower, which is releasing in print and eBook on Feb. 28! *FLAILS* It's currently available for pre-order.

So in this snippet, Gavin and Davy are eating at Dick's, winding down after a night out with the guys. We're still pre-relationship. Gavin is trying to get to know our shy Davy but Davy's general lack of social skills has him a little embarrassed. After Davy gets bummed talking about the death of his mother, Gavin steers him back to talking about himself.

“So what do you do? Sit in your apartment by yourself?” That seemed so sad.

“I work a lot, as you well know”—that was pointedly accusatory—“and I do online classes. I don’t get much chance to meet people, but I’m sure you’ve noticed I’m not great with people anyways, so I don’t ever know what to do when I get the chance to try to be friends with someone.” Davy chewed on his tongue, obviously a nervous habit, then laughed derisively. “Like now. You guys were great. You only hit on me the one time. Sean and Mason did their best to help me fit in, and here I am being a freak and dumping my shit on you.”

         “Davy, that’s what friends are for.” Friends don’t want to kiss it all better, though, Gavin.

 Hope y'all enjoyed that tid-bit. :)  Stay tuned for another snippet next week! Should have info on giveaways and blog stops soon. Also should be revealing the cover for Where the World Ends (releasing 3/11 at LooseId) soon!

Seven Sentence Sunday (Belated)

**Well, I'd intended to start the Seven Sentence Sunday promo stuff for Trouble & the Wallflower this week and had set this post up... but did I publish it on Sunday so it could actually be a Seven Sentence Sunday post? Nooooo. Not me, cuz i'm a total spaz. So....... I post it now with MORE than seven sentences. Hope y'all enjoy.**

So it's the first SSS post for Trouble & the Wallflower. I couldn't be more stoked for y'all to finally get to read Gavin & Davy's story. To get everyone as pumped for it as me I'll be posting snippets (typically the idea is seven sentences, hence the Seven Sentence Sunday thing, but I'm guessing y'all are smart enough to figure that bit out ;) ) each week. Soooo....

In this bit, Gavin's just left the club after...well...being Gavin, and when he meets his friends at their favorite after-hour pizza place, they've decided to let him know he TOTALLY fucked up with Davy, who he's been trying so hard to impress. It's one of my fav scenes of all the guys together (sans Davy, obvs, since it's pre-relationship at this point).

 

“You know that ‘piece’ you’ve been chasing, aka crushing on hardcore? The guy from Bart’s?”

Gavin couldn’t help but smile at the mention of the blond jock he’d been playing cat and mouse with for months now. “Yeah. Soda Shop Davy?”

All the guys snorted collectively and Mason shook his head sorrowfully. “Yes. The one and the same,” Sean said.

“Why?” He wished they’d just spit it out already. He started thinking of blond  hair, blue eyes, and a firm jaw with a baby face and lickable pink lips. And don’t forget those biceps that were just right. Not too beefy but enough to show the guy did some working out.

Sean frowned at Gavin, wiping the smile from his face. “You blew your chance officially.”

“Would you guys spit it out?” Nate and Gavin said in unison.

“I’m confused,” was all Devon could manage to say through his alcohol-induced haze.

Sean’s look at Devon was not polite. “You’re always confused. The alcohol just renders you completely worthless.”

“I know right!” Devon laughed as though he’d just said the funniest thing ever. Everyone stared at him for a minute.

“Anyway,” Gavin said, returning all attention to Sean and Mason.

“He was at the club tonight, Gavin,” Mason said.

Gavin perked up. “Oh, shit! No way! Why didn’t you guys tell me?”

“Well, we tried to get him to come talk to you, but he’d unfortunately already seen you groping thong-boy’s schlong in front of the whole world,” Sean said sardonically. Nate gave a groan of sympathy as Gavin dropped his head with a thud on the table. “I’d say that ship has officially sailed.”

“Shame, too. We’d noticed him earlier but didn’t know it was him. He was definitely working up the nerve to come holla at you.” Mason burped loudly as if that added something to the statement. “Way to fail.”

“Why me?” Gavin’s voice was muffled by the table.

“I’m sorry, Oh Slutty One. What was that?” Leave it to Nate to goad the shit on. Devon just started giggling again. They all turned to stare at him for a quiet moment as he entertained himself in his corner of the booth.

“So what should I do?” Gavin knew he sounded desperate, but that was one piece of ass he’d been chasing far too long to see his chances vanish like this. If he was totally honest, the guy had almost become an obsession. It was those guileless blue eyes and that baby face he thought of before he fell asleep at night. He even saw them in his mind when other guys got him off. It was fucked up, but he was fucked up, so that made sense.

Sean patted Gavin’s shoulder. “I’m afraid you had one very small window here and you slammed that motherfucker good tonight.”

“On your dick. Hard. I’m surprised you didn’t feel it.”

“Thanks for the visual, Mase,” Gavin snapped. He was feeling sorry for himself, but he’d done this to himself. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

Hope y'all enjoyed! We've only just begun so stayyyy tuned! Trouble & the Wallflower releases 2/28 at Dreamspinner Press in eBook and print. It's currently available for pre-order. Have I mentioned how stoked I am for this one??

Coming Soon: Trouble & the Wallflower

Yay! Trouble & the Wallflower is now available for pre-order over at Dreamspinner Press. I'm so stoked for y'all to finally meet Gavin and Davy! Over the next few weeks I'll do some Seven Sentence Sundays to gear up for the release. Until then, here's the cover and official blurb.

 

Trouble & the Wallflower by Kade Boehme

Raised in near seclusion by an agoraphobic mother, Davy Cooper’s social skills are almost nonexistent. Now that his mother has died, he needs to make friends for the first time in his life. He catches Gavin Walker’s eye, but the sexy, confident, bad boy hipster intimidates shy Davy so much that he throws away Gavin’s number every time he offers it.

When Gavin defends Davy from a rude guy, Davy begins to warm to him. However, with his limited experience, he thinks he and Gavin are too different, and anything more than a casual acquaintance will end in complete disaster. 

 Pre-Order at Dreamspinner Press. Releasing Feb. 28

How I'm going to handle the anticipation for this I still don't know, but it's obviously a very exciting time. Also will have more information for you all on my upcoming novel Where the World Ends that'll be releasing via Loose Id come March 11. It's gonna be a busy spring! Stay tuned for more info on giveaways, blog hops and excerpts!

WIP: Gold Star. Picspiration & Blurb

Well, this is my WIP that's been consuming the most of my time. I was working on another story that was going to prevent this one from being written but since the other was set aside by a coauthor and I, I get to write my porn story, finally. I'm fascinated with some of the stories of how some studios are handling their marketing strategies. Some will only seek out models who may be open to bareback, some to models who are only bi. Some only want straight guys. So what happens if you're a fan favorite but you got popular and went exclusive BEFORE the site went Bi Frat Boy Paradise? Even more... what if you're a gold star gay who's so uninterested in vaginas that you never even had that cover up girlfriend back in middle school? So, Ben and Riley were born.

 Ben Serrano  

(the gold star)

Riley Hammond

(The G4P Boy)

Gold Star by Kade Boehme

Gold Star Gays, gay boys who’ve never slept with a woman. Ben Serrano never thought that was something that would be a problem at his job. Ben does gay porn to pay off his serious student loan debt (not that he’s complaining that he gets to have a little fun doing it). The lack of girly-bits being the whole point of gay porn right? In the year he’s been working with Marshall Price Studios he’s even worked with guys who came from straight porn because that doesn’t pay as much. But the head of the studio has decided that maintaining the Frat Boy image they have cultivated for the site requires models to have at least one bi scene. Now that Ben didn’t expect. And for all he wants to say no, his exclusivity contract for at least two more videos says otherwise--if he wants to get paid.

Photographer Riley Hammond felt bad when his buddy Ben is given the ultimatum to "go girl or go home". Riley himself hadn’t been too weirded out when he’d done a gay for pay scene back when he was still in front of the cameras, but, though he identifies as straight, he never had big hang ups when it came to sex. Riley wants to help Ben make in through the scene but they’re both thrown another shocker when Riley’s girlfriend is the studio’s actress chosen for the scene. 

At his wits end with the porn, unable to handle the girl scene, Ben’s boyfriend leaves while Riley’s girlfriend is annoyed at the guys’ prudishness, and Riley is dumbfounded to realizes he’d actually more jealous that she’s sleeping with Ben rather than vice versa.

Ben seriously wishes he’d not given up that gold star, but he and Riley both find that something awesome can sometimes come from even the most awkward of situations.

 This one has a tentative April release date. <3 Let's do this! Ohhh. And I warn that, yes the scene where he gives up the gold star is there and it's awkward. AWKWARD and there's viagra and fluffing and a connection between Riley & Ben that really sets the book on its way. So while it is detailed (because nothing is more awkward than the gay boy describing how that unwanted moment felt) it's not romantic or set up to entice.

Release Dates and Gushing Galore

Heya!

Long time no see. Well, that's a lie. I see most of you daily on facebook and twitter so I don't feel too terribly guilty. I think that's why I'm such a horrible blogger. My life is lived out in real time in 140 characters or less.

Anywho...

I wanted to thank thank THANK everyone for all the success I've had with Gangster Country. My poor friends have to hear me have daily neurotic break downs in the lead up to a new release, convinced this will be the book that fails miserably and that I've completely misread my readers and they'll revolt and my heart will be so destroyed that I never write another book again. Okay, so I get it. That sounds really melodramatic. But that's seriously life with Kade when I'm releasing new stuff. I never set out to write a "best seller", mind you. But I do set out to write things people actually want to read. So when I get some of the amazing responses like I've gotten for Logan and Gianni's story, man it just makes me feel great and like maybe I'll survive the next release. Haha! So many many thanks. I'm working on their sequel right now, looking at a tentative May release.

The end of the holidays and working on a billion edits have left me totally all over the place. I'll blog soon about my WIP. It's in the typical 1/2 way mark holding spot where I go thru weeks of brain-farts and can't get it together until something pushes the story forward. I'm frustrated but can't be arsed to actually freak out over it because I have so much going on. Which is mostly what this post is about, but y'all know me: I have to ramble uncontrollably before I actually get anywhere.

So I've got some release dates for you guys! My new novel Trouble & the Wallflower is out in eBook and print at Dreamspinner Press on February 28th! Yay! I've been waiting for this one to release for a while so I'm SUPER freaking out but excited as hell. I know this will be available for pre-order so I'll have that link as soon as I get it.

Also, coming out March 18 is my other novel Where the World Ends over at my other publisher, Loose Id. This one is vastly different from T&tW so I'm not really worried about such close release dates because you get two very different stories. But of course this means I barely get over the trauma of one release day before the other is upon me. UGH.

ANYWHO. After that there's the release of Wood, Screws & Nails that I wrote with Piper Vaughn. That will be out in May at Dreamspinner Press.

Well, that's everything that's set in stone and I'll fill in any more deets as they come. Stay tuned for Seven Weeks of Seven Sentence Sundays! to get ready for the Trouble & the Wallflower release, as well as info on blog stops, giveaways and excerpts. I'll sneak in some Where the World Ends info too ;).

Party Hard,
Kaderade
