Red Hot Wild Women Writers answer sizzling and sane questions!!!

Aloha everyone! I'm very happy to announce that 6 of us RED HOT women writers have teamed up with our Publisher MuseItUp. There are 6 hot to trot, romance erotica books in one bundle. Good value for the holidays! And it's fun for all of us to get together and share our stories with you :-) Ruby will be joining us on Part 2 of this blog when we'll have more sizzling and sane Q and A's. :-) 

We have a selection of paranormal, committed m/m/f menage, vampires, cougar shapeshifters, dark secrets in the waters of the Scottish Highlands, BDSM playhouse, Terentian warriors and Hawaiian hybrids. Something for everyone. All with the theme of dark, searching, lost and found... in the Wild Darkness Calls Series. 

On your first published work. How did it feel to pop your publishing cherry?

IONA: I would liken it to losing your virginity! There's lots of build-up, endless discussion and finally it happens. But then life goes on. You feel like there is something different about you and that it must be obvious but nobody notices. You feel like running into the street and shouting, “everything is different, can't you see the change in me?”

MIKEY: Unreal, yet you realize the need to keep writing and other stories roaming around in your nugget demand to be let out, so there's no real rest for the wicked.

KAY DEE: I’m with Iona on this one – it was like running naked in the streets. Everyone could now read my flaws and what if no one enjoyed my story? Especially with a mix of reviews…isn’t everyone supposed to like it? *LOL* Then the dust settles and naked (so to speak) becomes the norm.

ALIX: I was astounded. Choked up, had to go to the site to see for myself that it was real. It was like a dream had come true and it was hard to believe it actually happened. Even to this day, it seems like a dream and I’ll wake up and it won’t be there. Funny, the one thing I wanted to be I became. And here it is, real and just an awesome feeling. :-)

MEG: I don’t think I really even clicked on the day what was happening. I missed the sense of reality with it. I’m more excited about my second book Saint Nicholas coming out on the 28^th of Nov. The same date as this bundle actually. I think it has sunk in, in phases. LOL. I was like that with sex though… LOL. People ask that question. What was your first time like? I haven’t got a clue. It didn’t impact me in any way that I remember it. I do know I’m much confident now in telling people I’m a writer. I don’t feel I have to explain myself. I simply AM an author and that’s an incredibly nice feeling. :-)

Favourite author:

IONA: Diana Gabaldon

MIKEY: Tough one. There is a wide variety of authors I read. David Stone, for his Micah Dalton spy novels, Agatha Christie for her mysteries, but also for her uniqueness as a person. Dan Skinner gets to make me cry. Amy Lane for the same reasons. Abigail Roux for giving us Ty and Zane. Shit, there's just to many to name. Josh Lanyon for his Adrian English series. Elizabeth A.Lynn because she gave me Dancers of Arun...yeah and she made be cry too...bitches. I'll read anyone.

  

KAY DEE: Kate Douglas (love her sexy shifters and their world)

ALIX: Way too many! LOL Sherrilyn Kenyon and Christine Feehan. Wonderful pieces woven into each story connected to others.

MEG: Noel Barber, he wrote great sweeping sagas in gorgeous locales.

Where did the inspiration for your sexy, sensual characters come from?

IONA: In 2013 Scottish sculptor Andy Scott created two thirty metre high water horse statues for display in a new park in Falkirk. These huge and controversial statues were meant to use the transforming image of the water horse as a metaphor for both the endurance and the transformation of Scotland's water ways.

However, what they got me thinking about was Kelpies (water horses that could appear in the guise of men) and Scottish mythology in general. From there it was only a short leap of the imagination to envisage what an ancient predator appearing in the form of a man might look like. I'll give you a clue – pretty damn hot!

*See above photograph

MIKEY: Most of the characters, especially the male ones have a lot of me in them, even when it comes to their psychosis. As far as physical descriptions, I like blonds and redheads, sue me. I like tats. I like protagonists who are the antihero. My stories are dark and so are my characters.

KAY DEE: Cougars have been a fascination of mine for as long as it’s fascinated “Holly” – star of the story. They’ve been elusive in MI, no one admitting to the fact they lived here…until finally there was no denying it. “Holly” wanted a picture of the beast and the story unfolded from there.

ALIX: From dreams and real people, with a sprinkle of history mixed in for good measure. Kind of like taking a historical male/female and setting them in the modern era. The mix that appears is very sensual and a turn-on. Seeing how the tough warrior from two-thousand years ago is still the same tough guy today, but not the stereotyped one we’ve been led to believe existed back then. I like to fashion them to be timeless. I don’t believe the “soft” males are a modern moment. It’s always been there in the men, that’s what I want to expose. Share with my readers.

MEG: They come from men I’d like to meet. People I have met. My dreams and fantasies. I think all my female characters are based on me. LOL. But the men are all parts of different people I’ve known, loved, liked, sometimes disliked. I like vulnerable men and metro men. They’re incredibly sexy and sensuous to me. That moment when I man can open up and express his emotions and feelings hits some inner core of sensuousness for me. Men in their softness are very masculine to me. 

Do you like pubic hair on your heroes or heroines?

IONA: Personally, I don't like to get into this level of detail. No hair grosses me out but by the same token if there is hair I really don't want a detailed description.

MIKEY: Mikey forgot to answer this one, but I think from memory she likes either. But also comments - trim that shit! Or that could be beards? LOL Sorry Mikey my man!

KAY DEE: Quick answer – yes.

ALIX: I’m not a fan of no pubic hair personally. Reminds me too much of pre-puberty. *shivers* So, yes, they all have pubic hair. However, on that note, they are all neatly trimmed (man-scaping anyone? lol). I’m all for au natural but even I have a limit.

MEG: I can’t STAND no pubic hair. LOL. Recently I’ve allowed a couple of my male/male romances to have shaved balls. But that’s my limit. LOL. I like the allure of pubic hair, the sheer sexiness of it. A man without pubic hair reminds me of a man going out in his dress shirt and tie, shoes and socks on, but no trousers. It just looks weird!! And not remotely sexy to me. I like my men to look like men, not little boys. 

See what I mean? Just gruesome... 

Le Difference... hmmm hmmm

How do you characters turn up? Do you plan them out? Or do they just arrive one day shouting out their stories?

IONA: Oh, they definitely arrive! The character has to come first. There's no point in thinking of a sexy scene then shoehorning in a character. The character has to come first and they dictate the actions (well, they do in my head!)

KAY DEE: I’ve done both ways – drawn up detailed character sketches / interviews intuitively drawing from who they are inside my brain…to the point of in-depth emotions and the “whys” of them. Some have simply evolved to me as the story gets written. I like to know a little about them…so I know if we’ll resonate: )

ALIX: LOL Mine have been roaming about in my head since I was a child and entertaining my siblings with stories. Okay, okay, so those are my ancients and immortals. Most recently, they appear and want their tale told and others wait patiently in the wings for their moment to shine. I also have those who demand (very loudly, lol) that it’s their turn and they refuse to wait a second. Guess, mine are a mix of each one. I still have a very patient male who is just sitting there smiling at me...waiting. Now why couldn’t the others be that polite? LOL

MEG: LOL. Oh mine, just stampede into my brain out of the blue. It might come from one remark, one person, anything could cause them to turn up. But I have no part in the planning of them. They turn up, do their own thing, tell their own stories, with me tentatively suggesting things from the side lines. LOL. I have characters that go ‘rogue’ on me. Back when I first started writing, I thought I was in control of things. “I” was the storyteller. But apparently I’m delusional. I’m merely the person they dictate the story too. I’m essentially the typist.

Favorite food:

IONA: Cheese

MIKEY: Bangers and Mash with Guinness gravy...also I won't pass on a nice liver steak and onions.

  

KAY DEE: Chocolate (isn’t that a staple?)

ALIX: Pizza. All food groups in that one. :-)

MEG: New Zealand fish and chips

What’s the thing you enjoy the most about writing sex scenes?

IONA: I enjoy writing all sorts of scenes. You know it's going well when your fingers are flying over the keyboard and you literally cannot stop until it has finished (the scene and the act, if you know what I mean).

MIKEY: The physical connection between the characters, the fulfillment of the needs, emotionally and physically. I like to do things differently. Usually, at least one of my sex scenes per story will be something out if the norm for those characters. Not a lot of missionary in my stories, but once or twice I'll throw in a variation on the old theme.

KAY DEE: How natural writing it comes to me…I’m there, filled with the emotions and passion in the story – and those scenes are my most fun to write (so my stories tend to sometimes have a lot of these scenes).

ALIX: The emotions and feelings generated. The way the words flow. How it suspends time. That moment when I step back and realize I wrote that and not that it actually happened. The realness of the scene and characters. I enjoy blinking and wondering what in the world just happened. :-)

MEG: I like the feelings it generates. The sensuality and flow through my brain and body as the scene unfolds. The way I can get lost and turned on writing the scene, immersed in it. I hope the readers will get the same reaction from it. If the scene’s not turning me on, it’s probably not going to turn anyone else on either. I like the intense connection between the characters, the heat and emotions it generates.

  

Favorite place:

IONA: Bonnie Scotland of course!

MIKEY: Here...in the woods, in Washington State...up on my mountain.

KAY DEE: Upper Michigan…rural areas with water :-)

ALIX: Beaches and mountains. Nature.

MEG: Hawai’i, France,and New Orleans I’m sure if I visited it in person. :-)

Scotland

The view from the gondola on Crystal Mountain to Mt. Rainier

Roussillon, Luberon, France

What do you consider a romantic date?

 IONA: Something quirky that is tailored just for you. It is so romantic if somebody considers you as a person and thinks of your likes and desires and translates that into a date. Men take heed - it's not all about cookie cutter “romance” it's about really taking your time to consider your partner and doing something just for them.

MIKEY: Dunno, never been on one, but for me...probably a football game, dinner and drinks. Now I have had a romantic lunch, up on Crystal Mountain, at the summit lodge for my birthday. Unhubby took me there and we rode the gondola up and Mt. Rainier was simply stunning. It was romantic and the food was excellent.

KAY DEE: When he goes out of his way to make it “perfect” – even if it’s simply a picnic, but he remembered my favorite wine, cheese, or bread. My favorite song on the radio, my favorite beach, park, or lake :-) We’re connected on a kindred level with conversation and he’s attentive (affectionately) and “hears” me. That absolutely rocks my world.

ALIX: Good food and awesome music. On the beach in the evening/night with a bonfire ablaze. Just the two of us on a blanket, listening to the waves as they come ashore. Watching the stars overhead and the flashes of falling stars. That would be the most romantic date for me. *sigh*

MEG: A five star fine dining restaurant. A bottle of wine on a beach. A bottle of wine, Glenn Miller on the stereo by the water. A meal cooked at home, wine, candles, flowers, music.

  

Fine Dining for Fur Children

What kind of underpants turn you on in a man?

IONA: Tighty Whities! No flappy numbers please.

MIKEY: Well, besides none...boxer briefs.

KAY DEE: None – when he wears none and it’s a big surprise *grins*

ALIX: Commando. Does that count? *smirk* Oh, all right. *sigh* Nice form-fitting ones. I enjoy looking. :-)

MEG: I like form fitting briefs or bikinis. Or the new boxers. Don’t give me those floppy shorts or boxers of old. And no y-fronts!! I want a lovely outline thanks. :-) Very sexy.

Black, blonde or redheads?

IONA: Any.

MIKEY: I like them all, but I'm partial to blonds and reds, but pairing them with tall, dark, and handsome.

KAY DEE: Dark haired – so black or brown

ALIX: I’m a sucker for them all, just sayin’. But I REALLY love black haired males. Especially if they have a dark tan with light/pale eyes. I’m a goner. :-)

MEG: Black or redhead. But the black haired men always really wow me.

Long or short hair on men?

IONA: Any. Really short and really long can both look good depending on the personality of the wearer.

MIKEY: Long. My unhubby's hair is now down below his knees and he's 6'3" and has a long torso.

  

KAY DEE: I love longer hair that’s wild, yet groomed – hmmm, is that even possible? That’s what I picture on most of stars in my stories.

ALIX: Depends on the man. Some men can rock long hair (Native Americans), while others look hotter with short hair (British men). Either way, they’re HOT!

MEG: I like long hair on men. I don’t mind short hair as long as it’s not a number one, or the shaved look/stubble look. That turns me off. I like hair on a man’s head, with a bit of a sweep back to it. Really short men’s haircuts do zero for me.

Give some details of your ideal home and its location.                              

IONA: A sprawling country house in the highlands of Scotland.

MIKEY: Cabin in the woods, or an underground home in the woods. Prefer a nice green wooden area with rich soil and soft emerald moss. I don't need grass.

KAY DEE: I love the look of a modernized log cabin with all the conveniences of wi-fi, water, and electric – it would have the wrap-around porch, a sunroom (for writing), and be located in a lovely rural area in Michigan surrounded by trees (but not so dense the sun can’t filter in) with a babbling creek close by and I can enjoy the seasons: )

ALIX: In the mountains, secluded. Would love to be snowed in during the whole winter. Nice big windows with a beautiful view of a valley below. A wrap around deck, overhanging, to give the feeling you’re floating above the valley floor. Large rooms, lots of space with huge fireplaces for heat. A combination “A” Frame house and log cabin would be ideal. Oh, have to have a hot tub or maybe a Jacuzzi, so I won’t freeze when I want to sip wine and soak outside. :-)  

MEG: Tough one. I have a few places that would work for me. One is a big open airy Hawaiian house on the Big Island of Hawai’i in Kona. A big lanai, big kitchen, art festooned walls. A hammock and orchids on every surface of the lanai. Tropical plants for miles, coffee, papaya, plumeria, ginger, bananas, hibiscus, Jacaranda, Poinciana. 

The other would be a place in New Orleans right in the CBD of the French Quarter. Being able to step out the front door, knowing that a decent fine dining restaurant or ethic food was right around the corner, a short walk away. An inner courtyard, sheltered and private from the outside world. Rich tropical plants, art for Africa, lots of glass and light. An oasis in a city. Private and sensuous. A hammock outside.

Earrings or other jewelry on men?

IONA: A watch and a wedding ring is all a man should wear.

MIKEY: Yes. Earings, bracelets, anklets, rings. Unfortunately my unhubby has huge hands...to give you an idea...I can put his full face helmet on my head and spin it all their way around my head. He's a big Scottish boy.

KAY DEE: No…not so much.

ALIX: Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, you name it. I think they look sexy. It’s an eye catcher for me. Draws my gaze every time. I just cannot help myself. :-)

MEG: I LOVE earrings on a man. LOVE LOVE LOVE them. LOL. You could probably sweep me away if you were a man with earrings. LOL. I like them in one or both ears, up to two in each ear. I also love bracelets, necklaces, rings… I like metro men, can’t you tell. :-)

This sexy beastie with his jewelry is just for Iona. LOL. No.. a wee bit too much Iona? :-)

My man Morgan with his lovely lovely gold hoops. Hmmm hmmm

WHAT'S YOUR FANTASY MAN OR WOMAN? Are they real?

Aloha everyone. Thanks as always for reading. We love you guys on Conversations with Spencer. J Today we’re talking about sexual stereotyping in its various forms and how they tie in with people’s fantasies.

Why is it okay for a tall man to go out with a short woman, but people take a second look, the vice-versa? Why can an older man go out with a younger woman, but reversing it gets a lot more comments? Would we accuse a younger man of ‘gold-digging’ or going for her wallet?

Times have changed. Do we find these things less ‘startling’ now? Are there still some really ingrained sexual stereotypes we can’t get past?

I’m seeing a huge role reversal on SM at the moment and wonder idly whether it’s reverse sexism.

Back in the day, we women used to hate going to guys houses and they’d have girlie magazines pictures on their walls. In their bedrooms for God’s sake. The comparison was never flattering. We hated those guys. And it was very one sided. God forbid that we should do anything like that. In a strike for feminism, my girlfriend Zak and I took the centerfold out of a Cleo magazine and taped it to our toilet door.

It was incredibly boring in reality. Just the years shots of naked men from the back. You couldn’t see anything interesting. But boy, did that rark up the guys!

They’d come out saying, “Huh, I don’t like your poster much in the toilet.” They’d be really put out. And yes, they were the girlie poster guys. We decided we didn’t like those guys much. Their sexist attitude could take a hike. On your bike mike!

But what I’ve noticed lately is a flurry of semi-naked or naked men shots on everyone’s SM walls. From women and gay men alike. I’ve done it myself. Has the pendulum swung and we’re now doing reverse sexism by having naked and half naked guys plastered all over OUR walls?

And what do the guys think about this? Gay guys don’t count sorry. We know what you think? J

Where does the fantasy start and stop? And what makes any of these fantasies attractive?

When interviewed, gay men said they actually wouldn’t like to date any of the 12-pack men they ogle in boyie ‘magazines.’ They’d just like an average guy. Women love big penis shots, but in real life, that would be uncomfortable and a pain in the arse and other places after a while.

So Spencer, tell me why you like tall women? What’s the attraction?

SPENCER:

Had to think about this for a while. By and large for a guy, bigger is better, up to a point, of course. Society defers to big men. Studies prove this out in many ways, maybe most telling is that your average CEO is above normal height. The Napoleon thing aside, size not only matters for guys, it pays.

Women on the other hand have a different experience. It's rare to find a woman pleased with her body or stature. Women want to be noticed but aren't supposed to stand out. A woman taller than six feet will stand out like a stalk of corn in a soybean field.

Esquire article, Ann Friedman 2013

Webb found that it isn’t just men lying about their height online, women do, too—to appear shorter. (With good cause: Women over six feet receive forty percent fewer messages on OkCupid than their 5’4” counterparts.) Ask any super-tall woman about her dateless teenage years and the number of times a well-meaning adult said to her, “The boys are just intimidated by you.” Taller is mannish. Taller is… weird. 

More challenging, women typically do their most serious growing before boys, so they’ll stand out more boldly during those socially awkward tween and teen years. Above six feet three it gets harder to fit physically into the world, seats, beds, clothes, living spaces. So when I see a tall woman who projects herself with confidence, moving through the world with grace, still projecting female allure, that's amazing and sexy to me. The fantasy is 'what would it be like to make love to a woman like that?'

The premise of my latest story, "Love Above See Level" explores this fantasy. In the story, my male MC is smitten by a woman, six feet-seven inches tall, who he sees paddle-surfing at his local surfers hangout. He decides he wants to make a play for her attention and off we go.

When my children were young I worked at out local YMCA. One of the many part-time employees there was a woman who was nearly six feet-five inches tall. One day when I came in to set up for my program there was a note from her introducing herself as "Karen, the tall one". She went on to let me know she had borrowed some of my supplies for the nursery, where she worked, and she would replace them. The next time I saw her I commented that most of us go through life wondering what people might notice about us and with her there was no doubt. That makes for a very different life.

Meg, this is totally different from your original point of the discomfort women felt when surrounded by pictures of attractive nude or semi nude women like the ones you post on your "Red Head" site.

I chuckle at the way my world has turned. The private Facebook site for the authors of my publisher is almost entirely women. They publish pictures of guys with impossibly well developed bodies in various states of undress along with lewd comments. I'm more entertained than threatened or intimidated. But believe me I understand how degrading that must feel when encountered in the work place. I never have or never will (especially at my age) measure up physically to those guys.

We've talked before about my squickyness with M/M. I admit that the pictures of men in various states of intimacy with other men is a turn off. There is plenty of that on my authors site as well. There are many women who are fascinated, if not attracted to gay men. Someone I know writes extensively about that-and with Pacific Islanders, no less (ahem). So Meg, what's with that?

Dayvid Thomas. He's my new Muse for my new Hawaiian character in HAWAIIAN WARRIOR - the new book I've just started writing. :-) 

MEG:

Love is love! J I write about who turns up in my head and wants their story told. But it’s not just that. Yes, there are a large sector of us women who LOVE gay romances. I think there are a few factors in it. One it’s damn sexy for we women. Two men being emotionally open and intimate with each other. We don’t always see that or get that with our hetero men. Well, I do to a larger degree, because I like metro men and can’t stand non-emotional men. THEY squick me quite literally. I can’t find anything attractive in them. The Ken-dollies I call them.

And it’s that funny thing with people, what’s on the outside is only the package, it’s the gift inside that counts.

I was once in a group and kept hearing about this guy they called ‘Cowboy.’ The women loved him! He was gorgeous, fun, a great person. He was uber-cool because he drove a Chev Impala (the –seats 6 across the front comfortably kind and American ‘Yank Tanks’ were sooooooo cool in New Zealand growing up.) He was also in the air force, throw in a uniform. And he was sexy… apparently. I hadn’t met him.

Anyway, for weeks I’d heard about this gorgeous guy Cowboy/Nigel was his real name. I got invited down to the air force bar one day for drinks and Nige was on the bar. I think my mouth just about dropped to the floor when I saw him.

And not in a good way…

He had on awful denim jeans (you know the cheap nasty kind) and he had a howdy doody plaid shirt on (terribly uncool in NZ.) And he had the ‘scrunchy’ face a lot of Gaelic people have. He was tall, thin, pale and yeah……… not sexy. At all.

I thought, this is THE Cowboy? Seriously? THE Cowboy everyone’s been raving about, how gorgeous he is, sexy, fun, funny, great guy. Aha.

Although… he did have the most beautiful icy blue eyes that when he smiled… bloody hell! They twinkled and lit up. And when you got talking to him, he was interesting and fun. He was funny and caring. He was charismatic and enticing…

By the end of the day, I was in love with him and I thought he was gorgeous… and we ended up together for a while. J

Another guy I went out with once… was stunning to look at, but absolutely brainless, humorless, and downright boring. By the next morning (yes, don’t ask) I thought, just leave.

My sister was staying with me and she said, “Wow, that guy was gorgeous. Are you going to see him again?”

I said, “No, he’s boring, there’s nothing to him.”

She couldn’t understand it.

So, you see, I personally want the emotionally available male. And gay men often are that. They’re ‘feminized’ men, not in a flouncy way, but emotionally we get to see who they are. And that’s incredibly sexy and inviting because they show us their emotions, their vulnerabilities. They open up and let us in…

Plus, it’s sexy, a wee bit naughty. You get two men being emotionally open and intimate to varying degrees. You get incredibly hot male/male sex. You get two penises, two set of balls and for me…. Two sets of lovely black pubic hair… Hot damn!

We women have been on the outside of men’s emotional processes for so long that these books feed us in many ways. We like our gay male friends. They talk to us about EVERYTHING. They tell us all their emotions. They talk openly about sex and aren’t shy on details. They share things with us. In short, they’re the perfect man… only one teeny weeny tiny thing that’s missing. They also like men. Damn.

Also for me on a personal level, I write male/male because I hate the prejudice out there and the gay bashers. I hate racism. I write what I stand for. Nearly all my books have some mention on racism in them. I hate it. I hate homophobia. I don’t understand it. So, it’s another way for me to support gay rights. There are a lot of layers to this for me.

SPENCER:

I think the important thing is fantasy. It's just fantasy. Fantasy is often derided but fantasies help us set boundaries. My thing about tall women is a fantasy. It's not something I act on. However as I've said before, one great thing about being an erotic romance author is that I can make love to any woman I want and my wife couldn't care less. (And, more fantasy...the object of my desire likes it :) ) "Love Above See Level" is about trying to bring my fantasy about tall women to life.

I see all this posting stuff as a healthy sign that fantasy is still alive. The premise of the delightful children's movie, "The Never Ending Story" is, the force of unspeakable evil, "The Nothing" seeks power by robing the world of fantasy. "People without hope are easy to control." Chillingly accurate for the world at large today or for the inner world of someone suffering from depression.

I see our job and our great public service as keeping fantasy alive in a way that is uplifting.

The question always comes around of who would star in the movie version of your story? I don't think there are any women actresses six-feet-seven inches tall but Hollywood is good fooling with our perception. My first choice would be a young Sigourney Weaver. While she is only six feet tall so many leading men are short (think Tom Cruse) she towers over them. She's smart, elegant and wonderfully proportioned for a tall woman.

I think for the guy it is someone laid aback but sensitive like Matthew McConaughey.

I am open to suggestions. Maybe our readers have some ideas.

Meg you really have a challenge casting for your stories. "Brokeback Mountain" did a lot for gay roles and stories in the movies but I think a lot of actors would be nervous about the roles.

MEG:

I’m not sure that’s true in this day and age. A role is a role for a thespian. If you’re a good actor and a mature person, you’ll like the challenge of what that role might bring to you. And Hollywood is one of the most progressive places now for gay actors and actresses. Gone are the old days of lauding a film star as hetero if they’re not—thank goodness. It must have been living hell for the old thespians of old who were gay or lesbian. Imagine having to live a lie every day of your life. Never being able to do the normal things we take for granted as opposite sex couples. Something as simple as holding hands or a nice kiss would have been out of the question. 

I saw a movie called A Single Man with Colin Firth. It was absolutely heartbreaking. A gay man’s partner dies back in the fifties or sixties and no one acknowledges it. He’s not allowed to go to the funeral. It tore at me. If what I write can open any doors up in people’s mind, then I’m glad. I want people to know that love is love. And no matter what your fantasy or preference, it’s all okay. You are accepted at my house any time.

Thanks as always for reading. I think we have rambled a bit today. LOL. But at the very least go if you have a fantasy of a tall woman, go and grab a copy of Spencer’s new book Love Above See Level.

A beach bum/surfer is smitten by a woman six feet seven inches tall. But can his infatuation turn to love above see level?

Clayton Stoner is a blond, bronzed, hard-bodied, beach bum/surfer living the life of a thirty-one-year-old Peter Pan in a tiny oceanside cottage near St. Augustine, Florida. One calm Sunday, he sees a strikingly beautiful woman who is six feet seven inches tall taking paddle surfing lessons at the local surfer's beach. He is immediately smitten, but unable to get her attention when he encounters her at a nearby convenience store, and again, later that day, as she is running along the beach where he is relaxing.

They finally connect when he is sent to do plumbing repair work at the beach cottage she is renting. She continues to spurn his friendly advances. It looks hopeless for him until fate intervenes. But can a laid-back surfer and a woman driven by career achievement see eye to eye well enough for a long-term relationship?

A light offshore breeze did little to dry the sweat on our brows as we sat on the front porch of my beach cottage, transfixed by the surf. Our suits were still wet from our frustrating day trying to ride waves that wouldn't form. Nothing dries in North Florida humidity except throats after a day of sun and surf. My buddy Smitty and I were several beers in before I finally broke the ice.

"So, Smitty, what do you do when you find your eyes are at tit level with a beautiful woman?"

"My eyes are always at tit level with women."

"Asshole, I'm not talking about where your eyes are looking. I'm talking about height. What if your eyes were only as high as a woman's breasts?"

"Are these breasts sagging down to her belly button?"

I made a cross with my fingers and held it up to him, hoping his flesh would burn. "No, in fact, they were small and pushing straight out. She was very trim."

"If you had leaned forward, would you have got one nipple in each eye?"

"Stop it. I'm being serious here."

"So am I. She could put your eye out."

"That's my beer you're drinking," I said. "You could at least give me some decent advice."

He rubbed his chin as if it would make him smarter. Smitty only thought with his cock, and I was glad he didn't whip it out and rub it for insight.

"Dude, they're all the same height lying down. And a tall one can wrap her legs around you twice. What's your problem?"

I huffed and shook my head. "Smitty, if they ever cut your head open, nothing but pussy would fall out."

"Okay, Stoner, I've got a half a beer left, and then I got to go. The mullet are running, and I want to come down tonight to do some fishing. Are you with me?"

"No. I've got an early job tomorrow."

"Would you mind if I parked in your driveway then?"

"No problem."

"I promise I'll be extra quiet if I see a couple of legs hanging out the window." 

"What are you talking about?"

"Dude, if you get that woman into your bedroom, there's no way she's gonna fit on your bed without hanging her legs out the window."

Smitty had a point. My beach cottage was pretty small.

"So where did you meet this beauty?" Smitty asked, catching a belch.

"Well, we haven't really met yet. I was in line in front of her down at the Circle K earlier today. I turned around, and there I was with my nose in her breasts."

"So what's her name, where does she live, and is she available?"

I shrugged.
