Buenos nachos! That’s Norwegian for “hello” in Japanese. Kage here for our third stop in the Butt Babes in Boyland blog tour. Four Skor bars and almost 2 ¾ years ago, a small group of authors were sitting on a panel at a wonderful convention called OutlantaCon in Atlanta, Georgia, where a truly obnoxiously silly idea was born. That idea became the anthology known throughout the galaxy as Butt Pirates In Space. We had so much fun writing it and interacting with each other that we decided a second one was in order. That became Butt Ninjas From Hell.
It was after this second release when T.C. Blue raised her head high in the sky and shouted “I want a holiday anthology! And it shall be named Butt Babes In Boyland!” at the top of her lungs. Of course, I’m paraphrasing a little. If you’ve ever read any of T.C.’s stories, you already know she never says anything in two short sentences. So, we rushed back to our homes and began furiously typing away. Then editing. Then some more furious typing. Then some more editing.
I’ll be honest with you about something I don’t talk about very often. I had a rough time co-authoring a book many, many years ago and, as a result, promised myself I would never do it again or be part of an anthology because it involved other authors. It’s a promise I don’t regret breaking. I adore my co-authors. We’re not doing it for the money—our royalty checks can prove that—and we’re not doing it for the fame—I’ve only been accosted twice as opposed to hundreds of times. We’re doing it because we like each other, we hang out with each other, we laugh with each other, and we cry with each other. We’re a family that happens to have some very funny stories to share.
We’re also very grateful to the folks at Wilde City Press who have also become part of our family and given us the opportunity to share our work with all of you.
So, with those emotional moments out of the way, how about I give you a little taste from my story, It’s A Wonderful Lube? There are a number of layers and influences that go into writing comedy. I find that it’s a genre I absolutely love to work in because there’s so much you can play with.
“And here I thought your name was Tinkles since you spend so much time in the bathroom tinkling.”
“He ain’t tinkling,” Chipper, the elf working next to him, clarified. “The inspiration for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids is in there laughing manically and beating off to pictures of Justin Bieber and Austin Mahone.”
“Inspiration for Honey, I Shrunk the Kids…” Another elf laughed. “That’s a good one.” And raised his hand. “Low five!”
They smacked hands.
“Bieber, Mahone, and laughter?” Wesley stared at Twinkles, the corner of his mouth turned up in the faintest of smiles. “Then I guess that would make you the Twinkler.”
“What do you want, cock jockey?”
“Cool it, Rumple Foreskin. You usually work in Warehouse Sixteen. I need to know which locker in the holding area the prototype dildos are held in.”
“That’s not your jurisdiction, flatfoot deadfuck. The engineers are the only ones who are allowed access to those lockers, which is why none of us have seen that area in years. Not that I don’t know, though. Some fresh, warm, milky white elf love, or as we call it in the hood, Elfer’s Glue, has a way of making tight-ass corporate types spill their secrets when it’s added to their coffee.” Twinkles leaned in closer in order to whisper the next bit, forcing Wesley to kneel down. “What’s in it for me if I tell ya, fuckrudder?”
“For starters, spunk bubble, I won’t tell Barbara Barletta in HR that you’re putting elf fizz in the coffee since I happen to know you bring her a cup sometimes, too.”
And that’s our little clip. We’ll see you again next May when Wilde City Press releases our fourth anthology, Butt Riders On The Range.
Happy Holidays!

Kage is offering our readers a fantastic giveaway !
And that is a print copy of the previous book, Butt Ninjas from Hell, that’s signed by all the authors!!
( US Based , outside of the US an ecopy will be offered instead )
The more I read about this the more I want it. It is added to my list with a star.
This sounds incredibly fun–not enough humor in m/m most of the time, and it sounds like it will bring the heat, too!
DebraG, I think you’ll find the fun in each of the stories to be quite infectious! Thanx for stopping by. =)
Trix, you’re right. We noticed a definite missing element of humor in the genre. There’s generally a great deal of drama, but not much in the way of comedy. I think that’s another reason we’ve kept up with these and are finishing up the fourth one.
Fun post! Need a lot more humor in books!
There are some evenings I peruse all my mm books looking for humor and sadly come up empty. I would love to win this!
