Baby its cold outside!

Baby It’s cold outside, How could I resist referring to the classic popular song. Because baby it has been positively Arctic outside. I hate the winters and tend to hibernate. It used to be  the more exciting the city the more horrendous the weather but with global warming that has changed somewhat.  New York it seems is always going to be the ‘excitement ‘ city of choice, even if many of its venues have slithered underground and the reputation it enjoyed in the 70’s is gone. Sure it cured crime but ruling mayor Rudolf Giuliani threw out the baby with the bath water.

Although that being said I still love Amsterdam of all my cities come rain or shine or bone chilling temperatures. However when I do my hibernating i do it with my computer and imagination. I write, write and then write some more. Winters, like the night leave me alone with a minimum of distractions. That for me is where ideas are born.

Th end of last year was rough but productive. Last year I produced many e-books and paperback books. Oddly enough as a Leather man whose sexual life is heavy in the BDSM realm I have written very little on those themes. Write what you know was what I had been hearing most of my writing career but it seemed I didn’t completely practice what I preached and as a result I have produced little in the way of Leather sensibilities. So, meet Zander Frost a Leatherman of an indeterminable age.

Zander is building  a retreat that will house older fetish and kinky types who will have partners to play with and share their expertise with other older players.  Starting with THE CARETAKERS:ZANDER FROST is the trilogy I’ve always wanted to do. Zander grows, recruits and interviews , an interesting array of characters which I’m sure readers will delight in getting acquainted with.

As you know my former publisher and I have come to a parting of the ways.She motivated me to do better, write more, pay attention to details. Like most relationships there were moment of contention but I gave her a string of bestseller and she moved me to think of myself as something more than an X-rated writer, but a writer capable of more than 99 cents a sale.

Almost every idea I have these days is how I can incorporate it into Zander’s Place. Isn’t that how a series is born? Self Publishing is a challenge which I have done in he past back when I was breaking into books and moving away from short stories for magazines. It was a fairly easy accomplishment and even now it can still be very easy  to do and it does help you appreciate what it is that a publisher is supposed to do. It’s been my experience that the only drawback is finding distributors that will get your books out to your target audience. A lot of marketers seem to balk a bit at marketing XXX publications. Amazon banned two of my books in the past simply because the words “Daddy” and ‘Boy” were in the titles (Daddy Ben and Prison Boy Toy). Since my demographic is so specific, I will be using specialized marketing. We don’t write to get rich, we do it because we love it!

I hope that all the people who have downloaded their free copy of   “Zander’s Place”  have enjoyed it Below are copies of the books that I have self published. Missing is the series of Health and Fitness books that I published under the name RD Cain which are still available on request. Also missing, Do you work in the Nude? Hysterically illustrated and written chronicling my life as  Massage Therapist.

Above are a few of my self published books. 8×10 Illustrated by seven independent artists The art is x-rated. (2007) Hands Illustrated  (2010) Hands Illustrated is a beautifully illustrated book of short tales about fisting. Meditations and Affirmations (2007) Many black an white pictures and as the title says Meditations. Black men in Leather is the most successful  of my self published books. 171 pages of what black and white Leather rmen see in each other. All books pictured here are available on request.

Happy Thanksgiving

It’s that time of the year that I really don’t care for. Call me scrooge if you will but I’m not a fan of the ‘holiday season’ and it all starts with Thanksgiving. It has nothing to do with the fact that I am a quarter Creek Indian, because truth be known, my tribe was wiped out mostly by the Cherokee,or so I’m told. It may have something to do with a ‘needle in my eye’ which my eye doctor says I’ll have to do to reduce swelling in my left eye if I don’t lower my blood sugar and sodium levels. So that’s my traditional turkey dinner right there.

Thanksgiving also marks the ‘official’ start of the holiday season. Which generally means that whether you celebrate Xmas or not, everyone else will, and that means the most popular excuse for slacking off on just about everything will reverberate all over the place ‘…cant do anything until after the holidays..’ Holidays is deliberately generic to include all religions and beliefs because the excuse is non-denominational.

Of course with the economy the way it is, it’s going to be a not so merry a holiday as in celebrations long past. But I’ve done all my shopping via catalogue and made good my determination to not spend money I don’t have, so the four people I get gifts for are put on alert. It’s that thought that counts! But just so you know I’m not completely down on the holidays, I and my partner will celebrate at his place with the food of OUR choosing and not traditional, and will watch television and the Macy’s parade and and enjoy each other’s company.

Things to be grateful for: I am so grateful to my partner Will who held my hand all the while I tolerated the pain of my foot healing. I am grateful for the lessons learned from the foot infection that knocked me out for several months. I am grateful it’s almost healed completely, I am so grateful to my publishing company and the swell of support I get from them in making me a ‘star’. I am grateful for the limited enterprises that allowed me premium cable, internet, and the 4s Iphone. I am grateful for staying just a little bit connected to my biological brothers and my teenaged nephew.

And although I can be mean and cynical, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t give thanks for all the above. And as for Xmas and all its commercial trappings I hope that those who love it, do truly enjoy it, with all my blessings, and the once a year goodwill toward mankind.

WHEN A STRANGER CALLS was written a while back and at the time I thought it truly was a SORRY, WRONG NUMBER, homage. The lead character could easily have been me since I truly identify with Peter. I’m sure we have all done some things that we rather not have publicized, and here Peter discovers some guy may be chronicling his every move. Creepy? Maybe, hot, erotic and entertaining? You better believe it.

For those of you waiting for the next installment of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, I’m working on it. There’s a lot of sex in it, more than usual maybe but…anyway just finishing it up now, so patience because it promises to be hotter than the first one. Last word, my new paperback release CAIN BERLINGER’S DARKSIDE is a great stocking stuffer! Order now!!

SO HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND THE BEST THANKSGIVING!! Please remember to sign my guestbook before you log out!!
