Happily Ever After
Jeremy Piper is in love. He has embraced the Dominant/submissive lifestyle as a “sub” and is moving in with his Master, the movie actor Andre Jackson. Jeremy has everything he has ever wanted.

A Dream Shattered
Role-playing for a scene is worlds away from living the lifestyle, and Jeremy is unprepared for the reality: his stern Master, wrestling with ghosts from his past, is rigid, unyielding and demands complete obedience from his slave, both in and out of the bedroom. Although eager to please, Jeremy is just as strong willed as his Master and chafes against his authority, refusing to be tamed.

Secrets and Lies
A secret is revealed, a trust is broken, and the two headstrong men drive each other to the breaking point, unwilling to admit their own insecurities and confess their mutual need.

Mastered
Can the Master learn from his past? Can the slave become the teacher? The battle of wills is fierce as Jeremy and Andre continue to discover and explore their shameful desires.

Mastered is Book 2 of the Shameful Desires trilogy, which began with Enslaved. Coming soon: Shameful Desires 3: Unbound.

Always hungry for ways to create more sparks in life, P.J. PROUD enjoys drawing and painting in addition to writing, music, exercise (a fanatic!), skiing, getting lost in the woods (thanks to being directionally impaired), helping people, and spending as much time with family as possible. P.J. has been writing gay-themed short stories, novellas, fan fiction and poetry for over two years. Shameful Desires 2: Mastered is the author’s second novel. Shameful Desires 1: Enslaved was the first, a coming-out story of sorts, penned from a dream and a haunting lyric, “I drew a new face and I laughed,” from a Jason Mraz song called “I’m Yours,” which urged the author to take a chance and change the stars.

“Even though it’s long, this book is a quick read. The sex is hot, hot, hot, and even the spanking was a turn-on.”   Read more …

P.J. Proud writes in an elegant style: innovative, literary, and lyrical. The story itself does not disappoint. The intense sex play and on-again off-again romance between the two complicated and compelling protagonists will keep readers guessing—and panting for more. Those who become hooked on the first book will be delighted to hear that two more episodes are coming their way in 2011 and 2012.

Jeremy Piper has idolized Andre Jackson for years, and now Andre is acting in Jeremy’s movie. But the fledgling screenwriter is quickly disillusioned with the flesh-and-blood actor, who strikes him as rude and narcissistic. When the talk turns to bondage scenes, Andre throws down the gauntlet, swearing he can break Jeremy’s will with erotic spanking. Jeremy refuses to submit and the chase is on, with a determined Andre bent on bringing Jeremy to heel. With his life spiraling out of control, Jeremy can no longer resist Andre’s challenge. The scene that follows changes them both, revealing Jeremy’s deep-seated desire to submit and Andre’s equally strong need to dominate. Submersed in subspace, Jeremy begs Andre to make love to him, to own him, and Andre can’t refuse his willing, handsome slave. Thus begins their romance. Events and their own proud natures will conspire to tear them apart. Andre has a fiancée, Jeremy a wife. Will they ever come to terms with their shameful desires?

Keep Reading for an Excerpt:

He’d always written for fun, for pleasure, poems, short stories and even a couple of novellas but once his marriage turned sour—

Well, it became as necessary as breathing.

It was the only place where he felt safe, untouchable, where he could create and play to his heart’s content, where he was a god and characters did his bidding, acted the way he wanted.

Where it was once a hobby, now it was a compulsion, trying to work through the blackness that lived inside him through words, sinking deeper and deeper into his own world, putting on the good husband face for Evie, putting on his patient, caring face for his job and not giving a shit about either one of them, truth be told … just going through the motions. The only thing he really cared about, that stirred any kind of excitement in his heart, was writing.

Well, that … and Andre.

He’d written the story for Andre. He’d changed his life, broken his marriage, and risked his job … all for Andre.

Jeremy was in love with him.

He doesn’t know how it happened, hell, he wasn’t gay or anything, nope, he fully appreciated the beauty of the female anatomy, tits especially and he’d been taken off guard, thrown for a loop at the intensity of his feelings for another man, the fucking rawness of it surging inside him, scaring the shit out of him.

Jeremy had seen Andre on TV, a medical show and he freaking hated those but the man’s presence caught him, held him and stopped him in his tracks, made him drop into a chair, open mouthed, blown away by the guy’s looks and sheer talent and right then and there, he’d fallen in love.

The man’s delivery of even the simplest lines was mind blowing and watching him for five minutes told Jeremy everything about the character he was playing, every fear and worry, every love and want, and damn, it took his breath away.

He fascinated Jeremy.

And the more Jeremy watched, the more his intensity grew. Andre could bring him through such a range of emotions in a single scene, have Jeremy laughing at a sarcastic remark and then two seconds later, move him to stinging tears with a mere look, a lift of eyebrow, a quiver of lips.

It also didn’t hurt that Andre Jackson was fucking gorgeous.

In his mind, Jeremy knew there was no way he’d ever meet him, ever know him but he’d spent over a year dreaming about it, hoping to one day stare into those green eyes, watch those gorgeous lips up close and maybe, just maybe, get the chance to touch Andre, to shake his hand or talk with the man.

He spent hours on the computer, scouring websites for information on Andre, hungry for each tidbit of news, learning everything Jeremy could about him and falling harder, deeper with each new face, each new quirk to the man’s personality.

Andre was almost a god in Jeremy’s eyes, so perfect, so stunning that it never even occurred to Jeremy that he shouldn’t be in love with him—

Even though he had man parts and Jeremy wasn’t gay—

Even though Jeremy was turning into a crazy ass stalker who probably should be locked up—

Even though he couldn’t figure out just who he was in love with, the doctor in the show or the real man.

You know him, in your gut, in your heart. You see the secrets and passion in those eyes, the promises of more. The little voice in Jeremy’s head was relentless, making him insane.

For some reason, Jeremy felt like meeting Andre would change his life.

Each week, he hung on every word, every scene, worrying about the dismal ratings of the show and scared about cancellation because without seeing Andre every week, Jeremy would be lost.

Then, a dream in the night, a story took hold and he’d written it fast and furious, pounding out the words at all hours of the day and night, driven to finish because he was writing it for Andre; he was the hero of Jeremy’s story and no one else could play it like Andre could.

He’d honed it, tugged and pushed at it, then sent it off to publishers, with little hope of a reply but he was sated and exhausted. It was out of him and that was that, as far as he was concerned.

He kept working dog hours, trying to make ends meet, smiling at the thousands of faces that crossed his path each day, trudging home exhausted each night, trying to write into the wee hours of morning, trying to recapture his muse but Evie would stare at him, pace around behind his back, whining that he never had time for her, never wanted to talk with her anymore, to make love anymore and that he wasn’t there for her.

What the hell did that mean? He was there, always had been there, never left, just pulled back on the reins a little because he’d fallen in love—

With a character on the television screen and how fucking sick was that?

And then, the letter … “accepted your submission … provide us with agent name so that we may make an offer …”

And the publication, the sudden fame. Book signings and television interviews, newspaper articles and magazine write-ups and his life had suddenly changed, different, scary and exhilarating at the same time. When he’d been contacted for a screen play, he’d almost passed out from excitement—

Until contract time and he’d held out for Andre, wouldn’t sign a thing until they had him in place for the lead.

It had taken months but he’d finally done it and his sister, a legal assistant, covered his ass with the contracts and the paperwork, not letting him sign until they’d given him everything he’d demanded and then—

Well, then he’d finally gotten to meet the love of his life, the only person he’d ever be gay for—

The man himself.

And he’d been—

Jeremy didn’t like to remember that time. Andre had been cold, barely meeting his eyes, reserved and so fucking standoffish that Jeremy, able to talk the ears off anyone, was speechless, at a loss.

They’d met in an office, Jeremy in jeans with his laptop over his shoulder and Andre in a suit, rushing to catch a plane.

After they’d shaken hands, Jeremy had stuttered about what a pleasure it was to finally meet him, always admired his work and Andre had giving him a searching look, a dart of puzzled green eyes before pumping his hand fast and dropping it, like Jeremy felt nasty or something—

And Andre had muttered out polite words, lips barely moving, the smile on them not reaching his gaze, “It’s a pleasure to meet you and thank you for giving me this opportunity. I’m, ah, a little confused about why you insisted on me but glad it worked out with the shooting schedule and hey, great story, man, truly, you’re very talented—”

And then he was gone, just like that and Jeremy deflated, his high hopes crashing down around his ears because Andre hadn’t even seen him—

And he’d shaken it off, sure that next time they met, it would be different—

“I have never been really interested in the BDSM subculture and have not read much about it. Now I want to read more. Juris gives us larger than life characters that are exciting to read about. I totally enjoyed Vincent and reading about him coming to terms with himself was a real pleasure for me. The plot never sags and the writing is excellent. Now I have to go back and have a look at Juris’s other books. From the bio I read, he sounds fascinating.”

Book Rating 9 of 10, Heat Level 5 of 5, Intensity Level 9 of 10. “I am flabbergasted. In a good way. Finding Sanctuary kept me up much later than I’d planned on staying awake. Just when I thought I had an idea of how things were going to go, an extra kink got thrown into the mix, so to speak …. DC Juris is a new author for me, and one I’ll be paying attention to in the future.”

“Finding Sanctuary is pretty hot fantasy fiction. I finished the book in one sitting and when I put it down, reluctantly, I realized this is perfect stroke fiction for women. The sex is incredibly steamy while maintaining a sensuality that will appeal to romance fans.”

But then Eric invites him to a weekend at a BDSM playhouse … There Vincent will confront his fears and test the limits of his sexual boundaries.

Five Stars!

“Puppy Love 3: Reawakening is the final installment in the story of Petey and Matt, and author Jeff Erno saved the best for last…. As always the sexual relationship between these two is hot and intense. While the BDSM scenes are not as raw as in the previous two stories they still pack a punch. It is the growing non-sexual relationship between Petey and Matt that really drew me in however …. Mr. Erno soon had me caring about both men and by the end of the story I was crying … All in all the Puppy Love series is a wonderful group of books that I am happy to have had the chance to read. Book three not only shows how much the two young men have grown as individuals but as a couple, it also winds the series up perfectly. I hated to see this series come to an end and will definitely be reading it again while I wait to see what else the author has planned.”  Read more …

“It is with a sad heart that I write this review but I am also very happy at the same time. My favorite couple’s story has come to an end, and what an ending it was. Let me tell you this series will make you laugh, cry and have supreme bouts of anger—at least that was my experience. This is the third book in this wonderful series, and man was it a joy ride. I am talking shocking moments, moments of laughter and oh so much love.”  Read more …

—Darien Moya, Three Dollar Bill Reviews

“Petey is one of a kind, and I’m actually quite sad to leave him and Matt to their happy ending. If you looking for a set of D/s books which chart the progression, and maturity of a relationship between two young men—a real ‘coming of age’ for both of them, then you can’t go wrong with this series—this book is the end of that, and you do have to read the other books in the series first. As for me, I’m glad that I read this book, and series and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.”  Read more …

—Jenre, ReviewsByJesseWave.com

“The one thing that the series did for me was to have me change my mind about the way I feel about BDSM relationships. I have really never felt comfortable with this kind of relationship and so when I read, I had to clear my mind from my own feelings. I actually paid little attention to this as I got to know the wonderful characters that Jeff Erno gives us. There is a lot of love here in volume 3 but there are also some shocking moments …. The sex scenes are hot and wonderfully written …. The story is in first person and therefore we are allowed to experience what Petey experiences. Although I am sad to see the series end, the author did so with a wonderful book and believe me when I say that Jeff Erno can really write. Now I just have to read everything else that he has written. It is not just the story that is so good but it is Erno’s characters that give life to the story.”  Read more …

Puppy Love is the story of Matt and Petey. Not only do they identify as a Dominant-submissive gay couple, but they also defy many of the stereotypes of this type of relationship. They rarely dress in leather; they don’t hang out at sex clubs, and they have little interest in many of the heavy BDSM sexual practices. There is no denying, however, that Matt is the Master and Petey is his pup. Reawakening, book three of the Puppy Love Trilogy, is the much-awaited conclusion to Matt and Petey’s story. After the tragedies of book two, more agony and ecstasy await Matt and Petey—a shooting, an unexpected pregnancy, a big gay wedding, and tons of passionate, kinky sex scenes. Will they find their happily-ever-after ending together, or will Petey’s reawakened independence lead him down another path entirely?

Jeff Erno currently resides in southern Michigan where he works as a retail store manager. He writes gay-themed fiction and has published six novels. He is co-owner of Michele ‘n Jeff Reviews, a website focusing on gay fiction and m/m erotic romance. More information about Jeff can be found on his website, JeffErno.com.

“Matt and Petey have been a big part of my life for a long time,” says Jeff, “almost a decade. I know it may seem strange, but they’ve become so real to me that I sometimes forget they’re only fictional characters. In a way I’m actually grieving their absence. I do believe, however, that the readers who’ve followed the story deserve some resolution, and I think Matt and Petey each deserve their own happy ending.”

THREE Five-Star Reviews (so far) !

“Well this book is one surprise after another, and I will say this: all the surprises make this book a lot better than the first. There is character growth, a more exciting plot, a bigger than wow climax and the sex is hotter than ever.  It’s a tear jerker and you will experience every known emotion in the few hours it takes to read this book; because once you start, you won’t put it down….

“The writing is just smooth it moves from one crisis to another with wicked fluidity…. The final pages to this book are so explosive and filled with angst, it was just brilliant….

“I could go on forever about how awesome this book is, I could go on about how hot and steamy the sex is ( take my word its effing hot)…. Jeff has done a splendid job on this book and I will forever be a big fan of Matt and his pup. I am very excited for Puppy Love 3 and I just know it’s gonna be awesome. One of my favorite gay series.”

Darien Moya, ThreeDollarBillReviews.Com Read More ….

“I’ve not got the right personality to truly understand why Petey craves submission; however, I still found these interesting and engaging because of the way they affect Petey and therefore his love for Matt.  The second half of the book was tense and nail-biting as Petey and Matt deal with the consequences of some of their actions, both from the previous book and this one.  I was sitting on the edge of my seat for most of this time, anxious to read how it was all going to work out for our heroes.  Take my advice and don’t do what I did and start to read this section just before bedtime.  I sat up until the early hours because I couldn’t bear to put the book down, it was that gripping.  I ran the whole gamut of emotions from being horrified, to dumbstruck, to outraged before I got to the end….

“Overall, Puppy Love 2: Building a Family was a pretty terrific book.  I was drawn into Petey and Matt’s story once again and I’m very much looking forward to the final book in this trilogy.  …. I highly recommend this sequel.”

Jenre, ReviewsByjessewave.Com Read More….

“The story picks up after book 1 has ended and the two young men are moving forward in their relationship. The connection between them is stronger than ever and the sex hotter…. The author also uses this book to show the start of Petey’s growing maturity which in no way detracts from his need to be mastered by Matt. At the same time we get to see Matt’s vulnerable side and his love for Petey. There were times while reading this that I wanted to give both of them a hug and towards the end was close to tears.

“The men continue to face some tough problems and of course Katie, Petey’s sister is no help. With the promise of a third story coming soon author Jeff Erno is sure to have fan’s biting their nails as they wait. With each new story I become a bigger fan of this author whose characters and the way he tells a story always leaves me wanting more.”

In the Cure for Sodomy ($15.95/249 pages/ISBN: 978-1-60381-432-4), Ken Shakin weaves together history and gossip to tell the tale of the Sodomite. From oversexed altar boy to electroshock crucifixion, a ravenous youth is cut short by the cure for sodomy … once upon a time, a crime against the state. 

Cure For Sodomy

** CLICK THE COVER IMAGE TO ORDER **

The Cure for Sodomy is a blistering novel about passion and liberation—with a decidedly bad attitude.

One day on the unforgiving streets of New York City, you pass by an old man. A homeless bum, reliving the earthquake in his mind. A victim of electroshock therapy, he claims. The cure. For sodomy. In a moment of small compassion, you invite him for a coffee. He begins to tell you his story. How he cruised through life, dancing the night away. And suddenly you realize he could be you.

Buy it on Kindle or other ebook versions on Smashwords.

Ken Shakin, author of the acclaimed Love Sucks (1997), walks the thin line between journalism and fiction. His books search for the poetry in the most vulgar aspects of everyday existence and push the boundaries of taste, starting with the title, e.g., Grandma Gets Laid (2008). The Cure for Sodomy, originally published by Haworth Press in 2006, blends fact and fiction in a novel about unending desire and the lust for release in a restrictive world. Based on the medical reports of homosexuals given electroshock therapy, the central narrative takes the author on an eye-opening trip and intersects with his own struggle to survive. Two lives intertwine for a short cup of coffee and a long conversation, revealing a funny, absurd, tragic story dedicated to the perverse nature of the human spirit.

The novel covers some rather uncomfortable chapters of American history. Until 1967, anyone arrested for the crime of sodomy was eligible for a variety of state-sanctioned torture masquerading as “treatment.” Homosexuals were drugged, electrocuted, castrated, and lobotomized— sometimes forcibly, sometimes willingly. Until recently it was illegal for two people of the same gender to merely dance together. Underground clubs were routinely raided by undercover police in drag. Fast-forward to the twenty-first century and dancing is still against the law—without a license. What is free expression in the age of terrorism? What happened to liberation, gay or otherwise? Ken Shakin’s thoughtful and outrageous style brings the bizarre to life in an unforgettable New York story of crippled souls trying desperately to free themselves from earthly bondage, then as now.

Ken Shakin has been called the most flippant man in fiction. His irreverent books stain the shelves of the public library, including the highly acclaimed Love Sucks (1997), Grandma Gets Laid (2008), and most recently Thrillerotica (2010). Thrillerotica.com is home to his unique genre, “calculated to send a shiver down even the most desensitized spine” (Omnilit). The New York native is a graduate of the Juilliard School, with a degree in piano. He lives in Berlin.

“Shakin is a wonderful stylist. His way with words is amazing …  No one reading this novel can possibly put it down.”

J. Peter Bergman, EDGE Entertainment

“Investigative journalism meets erotica …  social studies for a hardcore age.”

Edgar Dylar, The Movie Times

An excerpt:

The old man wheezes as I picture smelling the warmth of my savior’s manhood. Like it was yesterday. Last night. And the night before. And too many nights to remember, saviors all of them. But if I had to think back to the very first one…

Ugh. That was some tacky guy who picked me up in a tacky bar in the early eighties. I wasn’t the least bit attracted to him but figured that since I would never be able to have my beloved best friend, in the meantime I better do it with the first three-legged monster to come along just to get it over with and finally before I hit voting age lose my precious virginity. As though there’s anything to lose. All I lost was a good night’s sleep while gaining some itchy new friends, a whole population of microscopic lovers. If I learned a lesson from the ordeal, it was that without sexual attraction sex is rather like banging your head against the wall. The wall doesn’t move and you end up with a bad headache.

The old man remembers the moment of truth as similarly awkward but charged with a deific attraction that turned pain into pleasure, rape into an expression of love and devotion. A century later and he too remembers the act like it was only yesterday. Above all he remembers the very first time as a boy he sucked a man’s cock.

A religious act. After Mass the young priest once again leads the altar boy into his study and carefully helps him off with his chastity belt. As usual, the instant the muzzled organ is given room to breathe, it takes a healthy breath. The treble pipe blows a quick fanfare worthy of a preludial rite. In expectation of that deep sonorous pedal point when the cup is raised and the spirit evoked.

Now for the fugue. This time the dedicated teacher has another lesson in mind. The lost boy looks for guidance. So the shepherd pulls out his staff. He holds it over his little lamb, exhorting him. Kiss it, he says. Kiss it, son.

Not such a strange request coming from a Holy Father. When the Pope stands over his flock they kneel before his aged loins. When he holds out his ringed finger, dutifully they kiss it. When a young priest holds out his awesome scepter, what choice does an altar boy have but to submit to the power and the glory.

As in any holy communion the boy simply leans forward to offer his lips, short enough that he hardly needs to get down on his knees. He inhales his savior’s manhood. The smell draws him in. His mouth parts, softly panting. Before he can kiss it he feels a strong hand on the back of his neck. The shepherd pulls the little lamb to his staff. Put it in your mouth, he whispers.

The boy opens his mouth wider. As his mouth is filled the smell of sodomy envelopes his consciousness.

The man is equally overwhelmed by the moment. This may be a first time for him too, at least with a little lamb, because suddenly the pastoral shepherd is transformed into mad wolf. Suck it, my boy, suck it, he commands breathing down his neck.

Matt is everything that Petey is not. He is self-confident and brave. Matt is tall and masculine and athletic. He is a natural-born leader. Puppy Love is their love story, their romance. It is both a coming-of-age and coming-out story, but sexual orientation is not the primary focus. Petey struggles with his identity both as a homosexual and as a submissive. What do you do when you love someone who is truly superior to yourself in every meaningful way?  How do you feel, and what if these feelings are not what everyone tells you you’re supposed to feel?  We are taught that every individual is equal, but what if you know, through experience, that this is not the case?  What if, in a society in which everyone is supposed to be a leader, you discover that your passion and your destiny is to submit? In Puppy Love, Petey Drinkell discovers the true nature of power, its role in sexual relationships, and his own role in the power structure. Puppy Love is perhaps the world’s first gay BDSM coming-of-age novel. This epic novel is not only classic erotica, but also a challenge to our fundamental assumptions about human relationships.

“What can I say that hasn’t been said before, this book will push your boundaries, leave you going “hmm” and the next second have you pissed as hell. I can say this is work of good writing, interesting characters and a storyline unlike any, I have had the privilege to read. I thought I would dislike this book and let me tell you how surprised I was that I actually loved it. The idea behind it I found original and that could be because of my interpretation. It was hilarious, sweet and down right exhausting at times; but you are never bored.”  Read more …

Life on the List, by Jeffrey Essmann

“Life on the List is probably one of the best gay erotica tales book I have ever read. Well, despite what you can think, I haven’t read many of them, since usually, after a page or two, I’m bored by all the sex, and well, an erotica without sex is pretty much non-sense. So, first Jeffrey Essmann managed to catch me for more than two pages; the secret? He quoted Dante’s Inferno.”  Read more …

—Elisa Rolle’s Journal

Jeffrey Essmann’s Life on the List: Assorted Sordid Tales and Unsavory Relations is one of the hottest stories of gay erotica ever told.

Jeffrey Essmann was a fixture on the New York downtown performance scene in the 80s and early 90s. His one-man show “Artificial Reality” was nominated for a Drama Desk Award, and he was featured in the video, “New Wave Comedy.” His cult hit “Triplets in Uniform” at La MaMa marked his transition to playwriting. In the early 90s Essmann left New York for Chicago, where he became a featured performer in a performance series at Steppenwolf and a regular contributor to the Chicago NPR affiliate. In 2005 he returned to New York, where his short piece “Johannes, Pyotr & Marge” was produced at the Humana Festival. His one-man show “Skin Deep” was commissioned for the 2006 HOT! Festival. “Skin Deep,” along with “The Usual Freak Show” at La MaMa a year later, marked his successful return to the New York theatre scene. He is currently working on a new play, The Indifferent Narrator. Life on the List is his first book.

Listing: Casual Encounters, by Lee Vasey

Do you live in a quiet neighborhood? Do you think nothing too shocking is going on behind closed doors?  Do you think your neighbors’ lives are as boring as yours? Think again, friend.

Listing: Casual Encounters is the memoir of a man who contacts people online and meets them for sex. His anonymous encounters are mostly with other men, but they also involve both women and couples. His narratives are definitely hot, and the quantity of his encounters as well as their variety will impress just about anyone. His adventures range from the touching to the bizarre. If you have ever wondered what your life would be like without inhibitions, you must read this book. Vasey’s exploits are truly hard-boiled.

Vasey tells his tales plainly: no fantasy, no exaggeration or idealization, and none of the false heroics you expect from erotica. Unlike most people, he simply does as he pleases. Most of the stories in the book were written, with journalistic detail and clarity, within 24 hours of the encounter.
