1Wild and PreciousBlurb:

Aspiring writer Brent Granger has good friends and a great job at an arts magazine in DC, but he’s batting zero in the arena of love. Brent begins to get a clue why things aren’t working with women from his strong attraction to his gorgeous, gay, and already attached boss, Graham Stoneford.  When he sees a personal ad from a man that quotes his favorite poet, Brent decides to do something wild and answer.

Enter Cody Bellstrom, easygoing bisexual musician, who is happy to initiate Brent in the ways of gay sex. Brent now has a new problem: he realizes he’s gay and no one in his life knows it. Cody tires of hiding their relationship, but Brent finds it challenging to come out to family, friends, and especially to Graham. In the end, Brent must confront the truth of where – and with whom – his heart lies.

1 – How difficult (emotionally) was this book for you?
This book was nothing but a joy for me to write. I was writing in response to a prompt to base a story on a movie and I chose Kissing Jessica Stein, a movie I love. It features a woman exploring her sexuality and trying out a same-sex relationship. Only in the movie, after trying out being gay, Jessica realizes she is more comfortable being straight and I knew in my story I wanted the “Jessica” character (Brent) to discover through his exploration that he really is gay. It was fun to take the basic plot of the movie and make it into my own story in my own setting.
2 – Did you know going in how it was going to end, or did you let the characters take you there?
I did know the basic outline, but when I write, the characters always end up taking me places I didn’t know I’d visit. That’s part of the fun.
3 – Do you have plans to visit this world again?
I think I’m going to have to, because there is a lot of interest in Cody, the guy that initiates my main character Brent into the world of gay sex. Cody is an interesting character — bisexual, laid-back, a musician — and I think there’s a story there to explore as to why he never settles down with anyone, guy or girl.
4 – How do you celebrate release day?
I’m getting a massage! And it’s New Year’s Eve, so I’m sure dancing and champagne will be involved at some point.
5 – What’s next for CJane Elliott?
I’m writing the third novel in my Serpentine Series, which features characters at or around the University of Virginia. This one is about Jed, the nice guy that Pete in Serpentine Walls has a friends with benefits relationship with and doesn’t treat very well. I’m excited about this book, not only to give nice Jed a happy ending, but because there are biracial, black, and transgender characters in it who have main roles.

 

love bytes excerpt 

As Brent sat cross-legged on a pillow, tearing pieces off the rubbery bread and dipping them into various dishes he couldn’t identify, he realized he was having more fun than he’d had in ages. Along with being thoughtful and smart, Graham was one of the most hilarious people he’d ever met, and Brent was in stitches for most of their lunch.

“If only my dates could be like this,” Brent said, after another bout of laughter between them, then widened his eyes. “Oh, wow, man, that sounded dumb.”

Graham didn’t seem fazed. “They’re not? But why? You’re so fun to talk to. Any woman would be nuts not to appreciate you.”

“Uh, well, tell them that. But I guess I don’t really appreciate them either. I don’t know, it’s like, awkward and boring most of the time. Whatever. Ari keeps trying to set me up, but…. Anyway, how did this get into talking about my love life, or lack thereof?”

Graham regarded him, warmth in his eyes, and said softly, “You’ll find it, Brent. Everyone deserves to have love in their life. You’re young. You’ll find it.”

Graham’s words touched Brent, but the intensity of the moment made him uncomfortable. Even worse, he noticed he was getting aroused.

He shifted on his pillow with a weak laugh. “Hey, no more of this ‘young’ crap, okay? You’re not that much older than I am.”
