What is it that you want, but cannot have? Authors call this the conflict of the story.What I most desire is an impossibility—to have met Jay, my sweet-natured submissive, before an odious predator led him down a path toward harm. Failing that, I want to see him whole and happy. As a submissive and as a man, he’s a delight. He’s quick to learn and eager to please. He has a ready smile, a fit body, and an incomparably beautiful soul. But he needs a mentor, not a lover. I’m pledged to help him find himself. I cannot do that if I self-servingly bend his desires toward me.What’s your internal limitation? Meaning, what is it about you that makes it so you cannot do what it is you need to do during this story?I’m told, by well-meaning friends, that my self-denial at times borders on masochism. I suspect there’s a bit more to it than that, but it’s true that I hold myself to an ethical standard that many others do not. Flawed I may be, but I would rather take care in imposing my will on others rather than later discover I’ve caused an unforgiveable result.What inner doubt causes you the most difficulty?That I am not, and cannot be, a mind reader. Most dominants I know — the good ones, at any rate — want to provide the best experience for their submissive partners, whether for a single night or a lifetime. Alongside the granting of authority and power comes the expectation of omniscience. I strive to know my submissives, to gauge their moods and their desires, to recognize when they long for more and when they have had enough but fear saying so would disappoint me. But I am not a god. Like any man, I make mistakes. The consequences of an error can be harsh, both emotionally and physically.What’s your external complication? In the story world your author created, explain what it is you fear most.I fear that Jay, in his vulnerability, will return to the man who hurt him. The urge to belong is a powerful one — and a dangerous one. I am attempting to encourage his independence, but he is beautifully submissive. He yearns to be owned. If I cannot teach him to prioritize his own safety, he will return to a poisonous relationship rather than remain alone.Are you happy with the way your story ended? Why or why not?I am delighted. Jay has surpassed all of my expectations. I could not have imagined this joy in my life. But having found it, I am loathe to allow even a minute to slip away.About You: Questions for the writer.
You have the length of a tweet (140 characters) to describe yourself as a writer. Let’s see what you can do.From a flurry of ideas channeled through a ballpoint pen, sweetly erotic literature emerges.Why did you choose to write about this character?Henry spoke to me. When a character is so insistent about telling his story, it’s impossible to push him aside. He’s a bit unusual for a fictional dominant, and I found his style intriguing.Was there anything you discovered about this character that was a surprise to you?Becoming His Master was my first chance to write a novel-length piece from Henry’s perspective. “Surprise” might not be the right word, but he astonished me with how deep his caretaking streak runs and how thoughtful he is about the plans he makes for his submissives. Being a good dominant is a lot of work!When you wrote about this character, what made you the most happy? What made you the most sad?Henry makes me happiest when he’s happiest, which is almost always when he’s guiding someone else toward a better place in their life. He’s very good at seeing problems and working out the necessary steps to surmount them — for others. He’s not as good at turning that perception on himself, and I think he makes me saddest when he denies himself the things he wants.What do you want to write next?It’s always such a tough decision! I jot down ideas when they come to me, so by the time I finish one book, I tend to have a pile of ideas for other books waiting. Recently, I’ve been debating whether to follow the same characters for a little bit longer, start following some friends of theirs, or move to a different set of people entirely — ones who’ve been waiting a while for their turn in the spotlight.What other character from this book do you want to write about? Care to tell us why?Oh, there are half a dozen other characters whose stories I’d like to tell. But the ones most likely to get their own books someday are Henry’s best friend Will and his friends Victor and Emma, the couple who mentored him in dominance and submission. They all have lives I’d like to explore further.Are any sequels planned for this book?In a way, all of the Neighborly Affection series books are sequels to Becoming His Master. It’s the first novel chronologically, because it shows us Henry and Jay as their love story began. -

Title Beloved UnmaskedGenre Gay RomanceBook heat level (based on movie ratings R):Introducing Picayune/David Reid
Welcome to Romance Lives Forever! We’re happy to have you here today.Name: Picayune, later David ReidAge: at the time of this interview, I’m 24.Gender: maleBirthplace: Storyville, New OrleansProfession: Survivor.Describe your body and build, skin tone, height and weight. Include any unique features such as dimples, freckles, or scars.I’m tall, tanned, and slim, with a full head of dark hair that needs pomade.Who is the significant other in your life?You’ll have to read Beloved Unmasked to find out. I’m not being coy, here, but it’s best you read about it.Please tell us a little about yourself.As a boy, I spent as much time as I could out my mother’s way. She hated me. She named me Picayune, for crying out loud. What kind of mother does that? Said I didn’t deserve a last name. With a great deal of help, I’ve overcome a lot, but something tells me I’ll never stray too far from Picayune. To forget him would do him, and me, a great injustice. I plan a better future, but I’ll always wonder if I deserve it.How do you dress?As a kid, I worked for the ragman, as well as Mr. Anderson, the mayor of Storyville. More often than not, I wore baggy overalls, with one broken buckle, but, what’s that, right? My yellowed shirt itched and was at least two sizes too big. My shoes were something. Nester, the man who took care of all us kids at the Gem, he tied my soles on with rope.Nowadays, I like my suits and two-tone Oxfords. Emile says I spend too much on clothes, but I tell him that is born of deprivation.I’m told I’ve got a Cajun accent. I used to talk like everyone else in Storyville—dese, dem, doze, but people don’t take you seriously when you sound uneducated. I’ve spent many hours trying to speak like the people I went to school with. Now I sound like them, except when I get excited, and I still have an accent.Are you book-smart, self-taught, widely-experienced?All of the above. I read a lot and I was a good student. I raised myself on streets where you learn quickly, mostly things you shouldn’t learn. Nester and Miss Effie, they kept me straight. I never got into trouble, though Sapphire, my mother, saw fit to discipline me, mostly for no good reason other than she was angry at something.On what special skills do you rely?I draw and play the piano. I have a fair-to-middling singing voice, too. When I draw or play, nothing else matters.Are any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?Miss Effie always said we shouldn’t be prideful, but I’m a fast learner. King Oliver himself taught me to play piano and he didn’t mess around. He’d play a few notes, then tell me to play them. I’m proud I learned all I know about music from the king himself, and from hanging out at the Funky Butt Dance Hall. They had a kid over there, Louis Armstrong. Man, could that boy play that cornet of his.Do you care about what others assume about you?Don’t we all care about what others think of us? I have more secrets than most people I know, but to defend myself, I’d have to reveal them. Spence calls that a double-edged sword.If someone from your past showed up, who would you most want it to be, and why?All my life, I’ve thought about who my father might be, but there’s no way of tellin’. The why in that question is obvious. I’ve read stories about families, but they don’t have anything to do with me.Can you keep a secret? Why or why not?Sure, because I have so many of my own.What is your biggest need?I want someone to love and who’ll love me. *Bows head*How do you handle challenges?Straight on. That’s how Nester taught me.What is your breaking point?In the book, Beloved Unmasked, Ms. Addams wrote about it. A man has to make a decision and stick to it. That’s what I did. Let’s just say it has something to do with a broken broomstick.How emotionally expressive are you to others?I have my moments. I’ve spent a long time finding my heart.Who in your life has the power to hurt you the most and why?The person who loves me. He has my life in his hands.What would you like to tell your writer?Thank you, Ms. Addams, for being patient with me. Some of the stuff you pulled out of me wasn’t easy—for either of us.What would you like people who hear your story to know?We are all responsible for our happiness, and we have to be a person someone wants to care for.Buy This Book
