Duke - Book 1: Alpha Rising
An erotic drama, with laughter and tears, his story will touch you, and have you touching yourself.
Two worlds collide as Duke has to tell his boyfriend Mike his secret, that not only can he change into a black German Shepherd, but also that the Irish Setter he brought home from his family vacation is actually his lover Rourke.
Rourke, a 'purist', his primitive people brutalized him for being gay. By becoming his 'Alpha', Duke rescued him, but to remain an 'Alpha' Duke has to lead a pack. The machinations of the purists not only lead Duke to gather a pack, but also to take action that will have far-reaching ramifications.
For Rourke's sake, Duke has to tell Mike his secret, to do
so they have to mate. Their love on the line, the real threat comes from within
as another competes for Duke's affection.
Animal experimentation, a knife-wielding homophobe, the
local whore, and an ailing grandparent, who has to pass along his gift of
'change', add to his troubles, but a hundred-year-old tortoise with a secret saves
the day.__________
My little (22 year-old 6 foot) cousin brought up ‘furries’, people who ‘dress up like animals and have sex.’ That put the bug in my ear, or head, or is it butt?
Furries . . . fur ‘art’ (anthropomorphism) . . . guy’s a
furry . . . guy IS a furry . . . changes into a dog . . . it’s a secret, from
his boyfriend . . . his whole life . . . and they’ve been friends since
childhood.
He’s a man who’s also a dog . . . how would he act
differently . . . a scene with him and his boyfriend and, they way he acts and
is treated, you don’t know if he’s a man or a dog . . .
Human vs. canine sensibilities . . . what they do as
affectionate, if we were to do it, would be gross . . . like cleaning each
other . . . he could clean a friend . . . unbeknownst . . . because that guy
wouldn’t think anything of having him around while he jerked off, as a dog . .
. the guy next door . . .
Got to have a place where they can be ‘furries’, and work in
an Irish Setter, a redhead . . . with fangs . . . a big guy . . . a savage!
Let’s just say that I have a lot of reference pictures of
guys and a few had caught my eye, one had dark features and I could see him as
a . . . German Shepherd, the blond could be the boyfriend, another was your all-American
boy next door . . . for the Irish Setter, a friend.
I’ll admit, I started off using the plot to only get them
all together to have sex, but then so much affection was added, Duke’s
affection for Dustin, for Rourke, Duke and Mike’s love for each other, Duke’s
loving family. After the touching scene with grandma, I considered dropping all
the sex because, by then, it had too much heart. I didn’t want it to be thought
of as porn, but the ‘porn’ had become integral to the plot. But how much porn
could a drama have? That’s when I decided to call it an erotic drama, to let
readers know that, while it’s a book with a story, there’s also some of the
SEX. But I’ve been told that the sex is the right amount, it may or may not
interfere with the plot depending on if you want it to or not. Besides, my sex
scenes are paragraphs not pages because, let’s face it, that’s all it really
takes.
The rest of the story ideas were just gifts, especially
Genevieve. I don’t know how my little brain does it, but somehow all the
plotting is done in my subconscious. I was writing so much and so fast that I
wasn’t even actually acknowledging what was being written until after it was
typed, as if I were reading it for the first time myself. And it just blew me
away and consumed me, day and night, for three weeks. I started making some
notes for the sequel, and, OOPS, three weeks later that was done too. I felt
truly blessed to have it all come to me so easily, I felt like an actual
writer, but the pressure was on for the third installment, which I planned to
do for NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writer’s Month. Duke – Book 1 had general
research, Book2 had historical research, but Book 3 had regional research, as
it took place in a country I’d never been to, and I was incorporating friends
I’d met though Duke into the story, (which I had to get right). I almost gave
up, but I bust out over 5,000 words in one day towards the end, which allowed
me to finish on time, 50,000 words in one month.
Black German Shepherds, Irish Setters, Huskies, cows,
horses, cats, dolphins, turtles, gazelles, and lions, from cotemporary rural
Michigan to WWII-era coastal Georgia to contemporary Israel, growing a pack,
saving friends from abuse, getting married, reconciling love, and dealing with
loss, the Duke series has it all, and lots of wild and crazy man-beast sex.
