Joining me today is Brina Brady, an
amazing writer. She’s just released her second novel and wanted to let you all
know more about it as well as a bit about herself.
Brian is the author of Rent Me and her newest
release is Bend Over. I can assure my readers taht Bend Over is an amazing, interesting, and way entertaining book. Hope each of your check it out. But first, I'm going to start things off with a few questions for Brian Brady. Then I'll let her wow you with the blurb and a sneak peak of Bend Over.
What
inspired you to write your first book?
I suppose I was always fascinated
with rent boys and Russian mobsters. I had to amp it down because I like to
write taboo topics, but I had to restrain myself as not to be banned on
arrival.
I read about Putin’s stand against
gays in Russia and that disturbed me greatly. There goes my trip to Russia. I wanted to show how
difficult it could be for a gay man to fight his desires and his culture.
Dmitri loved Brennen but he had many cultural forces against his lifestyle with
Brennen. I wanted to show that Dmitri, like any repressed person could grow and
accept who they are regardless of the cost. In his case, Dmitri lost friends
and family’s respect.
Do
you see writing as a career?
I do see writing as my second career
because I work eight hours or more a day on my writing.
Do you prefer to write single
title or series? Why?
I prefer writing a novel with a sequel.
Give us some insight
into your main character. What makes him/her special?
Shane O’Rourke is eighteen years old. He left home because
he carried many secrets. He was raised with a strict Christian upbringing with
a pastor for a father. He has a twin sister named Shane, who he protects and
loves. Shane sells drugs, uses drugs, smokes, and drinks. He dropped out of
high school to run away from New Jersey to California. Shane lies and steals.
He seeks love and approval but doesn’t understand he needs to change. This is
the story of young man who sees his error and makes corrections. Shane is
conflicted because he is bisexual.
Is there a message in your novel you hope to
convey to your readers?
My message is to love everyone regardless of their sexual
preference.
I love a good
conflict. What draws your main characters to each other and keeps them apart?
Shane
O’Rourke threatens his relationship with Julien Callier because he lies, steals
and uses drugs. Shane signed a contract with Julien before he had moved into Julien’s
condo to follow the house rules and he constantly breaks the rules. Shane wants
Julien to be his Dom, and Julien wants Shane to be his sub. Shane needs to
express his submissive nature while Julien needs to express his dominant
nature.
How did you come up
with the title?
Shane O’Rourke wants to be Julien Callier’s sub. He has to bend over for spankings, often.
What’s your favorite
sub-genre (contemporary, sci-fi, etc.) to write? To read?
I
love to read and write M/M Gay Erotica with BDSM fiction.
What new stories are you
working on?
I’m
working on Own Me, which is Rent Me’s sequel. This will be about them as a married couple living the
BDSM lifestyle. They will fight like cats and dogs but in the end, they still
love each other.
I’m
also working on Don’t Throw Me Away,
which is Bend Over’s sequel. This
will be about Julien and Shane in the Dom/sub lifestyle.
Blurb for Bend Over
Runaway 18-year-old Shane O'Rourke is living
under the Huntington Beach Pier. He carries many secrets from his past. Shane
wasn’t allowed to explore his sexuality when he lived home with his father, The
Reverend. His submissive nature and desires had to remain fantasies.
Shane meets a dark stranger on the beach. Julien
Callier is a Dom from Martinique and is sixteen years older than Shane. Bad boy
Shane wants to win the heart of Julien Callier and become his sub. But
does he really understand what Julien expects from his boy?
Julien's heart goes out to this gorgeous boy and he takes him under his wing, grooming him to be his sub. Julien is determined to let Shane experience the good life, even financing his education, but he’s challenged at every turn by Shane’s rebellious nature.
When Shane’s defiant behavior threatens to come
between them for good, Julien has to act fast to teach Shane the meaning of
real submission.
Can Julien tame the bad boy? Can Shane give up
his old ways of stealing, lying, and using drugs? The playroom is open.

Excerpt:
“Did I do something wrong, Julien?”
Shane asked, biting his lower lip.
“Do you have anything you want to
tell me?” His dark eyes searched Shane’s face, then studied his eyes as if he
were trying to find something hidden there.
“No, Sir.”
“I called you here to let you know
I’m going to be training you myself for the back room tricks and we’ll begin
today.”
“Oh.” Shane stared at a red door
that had a padlock on it.
“That’s my private playroom, and
you’re never to go in there. I keep it locked.”
“Oh, okay.” Shane wondered what was
in a playroom that needed to be padlocked.
“You are going to learn from me
only. I want to make sure you can do what I need you to do for this job.”
Julien waited for a reaction from him, but there was none.
Shane didn’t know what to think or
what this meant. His face remained expressionless because he was unsure if this
was good or bad.
“This also means you’ll be living
here with me.” Julien walked around him, looking over his body.
“Here with you?” Shane’s voice
squeaked a bit in panic. His cheeks burned when Julien looked at him directly.
What did living with Julien mean for him? What would the training entail? He
was drowning in his own fears, so he looked down at the red patterned throw
rug, feeling too insecure to look directly at Julien. But he wanted to live
with Julien, so what was his problem? His hesitation surprised him.
“You don't know much about me or
this job, but you will when I’m done with your training.” His expression turned
grim. “All your things were moved while you were at the gym. You’ll have your
own room here, but you’ll be sleeping in my bed at night with me.”
