Here's a little look into Toby's life and his New Year; yet another defining moment in Toby's life. Toby wakes up after yet another day spent doing what he does best: Losing himself - in kink, booze, and running his club. This time, though, he might be losing more than just himself.
Doing relatively sane and responsible things during the day, I'm always looking forward to coming home to see what my characters have been up to. It’s only very rarely what I want them to do, but there you go. I have no problems whatsoever reading both Flaubert and smut (although not at the same time), and the only thing I like more than chocolate is a good comfort read.
To me, the best thing about writing is the rush; it’s almost a physical high when you’re writing and it’s going well. As for the worst part: Nobody ever told me that fictional characters do exactly as they please! All that talk about ‘the author’s intention’? This author is running around, desperately trying to figure out what my heroes want to do and then coaxing everybody into something vaguely resembling a consistent plot. Sigh.
A very entertaining and HOT series! 4 novels and 6 short stories. Interesting characters with their own unique stories. Here is the reading order I use:
Who You Are – Mischa’s beginning as a Dom short Russian Bear – Mischa & Tom meet Malaria, cholorea, etc. – Mischa & Tom short His Something – Ben & Toby short New Years Resolution – Ben & Toby short Happily Ever After – Mischa & Tom takes up right after Russian Bear Alphabet Soup – Andy & CK (takes place same timeframe as Happily Ever After) Saturday Night Live – Jeff’s short Of Russian Myth and Lore – Mischa & Tom short How to Domesticate a Russian Bear – Wrap-up story
