Hello, everybody! My name is Marie Sexton, and I write gay romance. My first book, Promises, came out in January of 2010. Since then, I’ve published thirty-some stories. I’m here today to talk about my most recent series, the Heretic Doms Club.
People always ask who I’d cast in various roles, so I’m here today to talk about that. I don’t have people picked out for every role, but here are a few.
Book one, One Man’s Trash, is about Warren, a scarred war veteran, and Taylor, a very damaged young whore. For Warren, I would absolutely pick Luke Evans. He’s not quite as big as I picture Warren being, but he’s still pretty perfect. Taylor… not sure who I’d choose for him, but he was inspired by this picture.

Book two, Terms of Service, is about Paul, a kinky pharmacist, and River, a doctor whose husband has left him for another man. For Phil, Barrett Foa would be awesome. He’s adorable. Except I also see him in another role, later on. (Stay tuned for that.) So maybe I’d pick Warren Kole. He could work too.

Not sure who I’d pick for River. Somebody kind of burly, with plenty of chest hair. (Actually, somebody in my FB group suggested Ioan Gruffud, and he could definitely work!)

Book three, Spare the Rod, is about Gray, a Denver cop with a pain fetish, and Avery, a spoiled rich kid with an attitude problem. Gray’s tough, because he’s hotter in my head than any real man could ever be. BUT, I think I’d go with Brett Dalton. And although he’s not an actor, Avery was inspired by Adam Jakubowski on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ladyjakubowsky/
And Avery’s friend Emily would definitely be played by Aisha Hinds.
The last book hasn’t been released yet, but it will be called No Good Deed. It features Charlie, a tattooed, Harley-riding bear who has a fondness for baking and knitting. The man on the cover looks an awful lot like Jake Johnson, so I’d probably go with him. And his yet unidentified love interest? Well, not sure. But this is kind of where I see Barrett Foa coming back in. Only time will tell.

One Man’s Trash
The Heretic Doms Club Book 1
by Marie Sexton
Genre: M/M BDSM Romance
After four tours in Afghanistan, Warren Groves couldn’t settle into civilian life. For the last twelve years, he’s survived by working odd and often illegal jobs for some of Denver’s less fortunate. His personal life is equally unsatisfactory. He can barely remember the last time he had sex, let alone the last time he got to use somebody hard and rough, the way he likes. Fate intervenes when a favor for a friend leads him to a pretty young rentboy named Taylor Reynolds.
Taylor’s spent the last few years on his own, working as a hustler, going home with anybody who’ll give him a warm meal and a place to sleep. He enjoys having a bit of force used against him, and he makes Warren an offer he can’t refuse — all the sex he wants, as rough and dirty as he likes, in exchange for room and board.
At first, Warren thinks he’s struck gold. Taylor’s the perfect roommate — he cooks, he cleans, and he’s dynamite in the sack. But Taylor has some dark demons in his head and some even darker cravings. Falling for somebody as volatile as Taylor is dangerous enough, but when Taylor’s urges turn truly self-destructive, it’ll be up to Warren to decide just how far to let things go.
Terms of Service
The Heretic Doms Club Book 2
Dr. River McKay moved to Denver with his husband, Terrence, hoping to give their failing marriage a new start. A year later, Terrence is gone and River’s left brokenhearted. Now, he’s decided it’s time to get back in the game. A chance encounter at the hospital introduces him to Phil, a strong-willed pharmacist who isn’t impressed by River’s degree.
Phil can’t deny his attraction to River, but dating is out of the question. Phil only does one kind of relationship — domestic servitude, where he gives the orders and his partner obeys. To his surprise, River agrees — not because he likes the idea, but because anything’s better than being alone.
They know the arrangement won’t last. Phil’s set in his ways and incapable of showing affection outside the bedroom. River’s unused to obedience and still in love with his ex. But their time together will change them, making them question everything they thought they knew about love, control, and relationships. When the unexpected threatens to tear them apart, they’ll have to choose between the comforts of the past and a future they can only find together.
Spare the Rod
The Heretic Doms Club Book 3
Gray Andino is a Denver cop with a pain kink and a history of falling in love with the wrong people. He’s jealous of his friends’ newfound happiness, but with a brain that won’t shut up and a need to argue everything, finding his own soul mate seems impossible, so he settles for meaningless sex and doling out pain with willing subs.
Subs like Avery Barron.
When Avery asks to stay with Gray for a few weeks, Gray reluctantly agrees. Avery may be the perfect sub, but as an accidental roommate, he sucks. The younger child of rich, indulgent parents, Avery is an entitled slob with a disdain for rules, a lack of ambition, and an obsession with social media. Gray tolerates his presence, but when Avery breaks one of Gray’s ground rules, he punishes him and takes away his phone.
Deprived of his usual echo chamber, Avery feels lost until he discovers a local Tap House, a piano, and his buried love of music. The more Avery plays, the more the community around him blossoms. For the first time in his life, Avery has a purpose and goals for the future. But the thing he longs for most—Gray’s love and respect—may be forever out of reach.
Marie Sexton lives in Colorado. She’s a fan of just about anything that involves muscular young men piling on top of each other. In particular, she loves the Denver Broncos and enjoys going to the games with her husband. Her imaginary friends often tag along. Marie has one daughter, two cats, and one dog, all of whom seem bent on destroying what remains of her sanity. She loves them anyway.
