Out at Last: EAST MEETS WES!

It seems a long time in coming, but I couldn't be happier about the release of my first title for Excessica - "East Meets West" has dropped a couple of days early, and for only $2.99 you can read a tale of tail that takes place in the steamy deserts of Phoenix, Arizona ... when poor Wes, looking to move away from the city after a bad break-up, puts ads in the paper and online to sell off the bulk of his and the ex's material possessions. When a buff, very masculine and sexy-as-hell blue collar Asian dude with tattoos answers one of his ads for the expensive artwork he's selling, Wes finds himself - for the first time - forgetting the old boyfriend for someone a whole lot juicier ...

To celebrate the release of "East Meets Wes" I am offering a free short story - entitled "Super-Size Me" - to anyone who'd like to sample a bit of my work before deciding to buy. If interested in a freebie (so to speak), email me at krisklein411@gmail.com with a statement saying you are over 18 and okay with receiving adult material via email, and I'll send you the story. Then, by all means, head over to purchase "East Meets Wes" here, and get a taste of interracial erotica mixed with a tinge of romance.

Enjoy!

A WET DREAM ON ELM STREET cover art/release date!

If you like chills and thrills with your drills, check out my first-ever Halloween-themed story of erotica! "A Wet Dream on Elm Street" drops on October 16 from Shadowfire Press, and tells the tale of a married Italian hunk living in Phoenix named Tony, who's been having some issues with his wife - who, in turn, is currently visiting her best friend in Seattle. Tony's plans for Halloween - which arrives in a few days - are simple: to sit in front of his big-screen TV, watching horror movies, drinking beer, and eating pizza with his best friend since childhood, Scott.

But when Tony borrows some bootleg horror flicks from his best buddy, and previews one that night, he discovers a very different kind of film burned on the DVD - a porn flick featuring an all-male cast. Tony's unexpected reaction to the scene that unfolds on his big screen turns the Italian stallion's life upside down ... and causes him to see his best friend in a whole new light that both turns him on and makes him angry as hell at the same time.

You can read an excerpt on the site here - and if you like what you see, by all means order the story when it's released on October 16th. I just hope you'll like it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

A CHRISTMAS CAROLER cover art/release date!

December 14 is the drop date for one of my personal favorites of my work, "A Christmas Caroler" - a short story about a world-weary man trying hard to forget the one-year anniversary of the break-up he had with his boyfriend ... just last Christmas. Even his best fag hag can't brighten up Kevin's holiday, and he's quick to usher her out the door to be alone on Christmas Eve.

But soon, a small snowstorm brings with it a young, blond and extremely adorable Christmas caroler named Nathan, who shows up on Kevin's lawn crooning a racy yuletide tune just for him. Kevin tries his best to shoo the young man away, but when Nathan slips and falls on the snow, Kevin - fearing a lawsuit - carries the boy into his home to administer first aid ...

And soon finds himself blessed with possibly the best Christmas present he's ever received.
It's a romantic yuletide tale (check it out here), yours for just $2.99 - and hopefully if you order it when released, you'll enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. Special kudos to Selena at eXcessica for the kick-ass cover, and remember - it drops just in time to give you a little holiday heat to ward off the winter's chill!

STEVEN STRAIT: Baby-Daddy #14

The last name says it all, supposedly (and sadly) - but with one of the most flawless faces a man could ever hope to posses ... not to mention a hot body to back it up, and what seems like a genuinely nice personality ... Steven Strait is a gay boy's wet dream for a boyfriend. He shot to popularity with The Covenant, playing a male witch whose name - Caleb - was even sexy, and even if his script-choosing skills aren't sharp as a tack, you have to give the guy credit; when on-screen, it's impossible NOT to stare, mouth agape, at the sheer definition of "male beauty" the man exhibits from head to toe.

Many a sexual fantasy - either in the mind or on paper - could be written about this incredible-looking, more-talented-than-he's-given-credit-for pretty boy ... and I hope his star continues to rise in the business, as he deserves.

I know something in me rises, everytime I lay eyes on him.

SOLD!

It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted - sorry, time for another Baby-Daddy posting too, I think - but I've moved and am trying to get settled in ... and, quite frankly, things have been a bit "odd" to say the least in the transition.

In the meantime, I'm happy to say that a story of mine that I consider one of my personal favorites has sold to Selena over at Excessica (www.excessica.com), and I couldn't be happier about posting this sale in particular:

"PJ's Pool Party" opens with 22-year-old named Jaime - a cute Mexican babe in the woods newly moved back to Houston after leaving his first lover (an older guy he'd been with for a few years) behind in Philadelphia, after Jaime had found out about his cheating. Forced to take a job as stripper just to get the money to get home, once arriving there by Greyhound Jaime barely has enough left to rent a room in the home of a very nice, very busy lady named Charlene. Jaime's thrilled to have found a safe place to say - and when Charlene leaves him to go back to work, letting Jaime know that her son PJ is coming home from college for the weekend with his girlfriend ... Jaime is dumbfounded (and even more thrilled) when PJ shows up and turns out to be a lean, handsome hunk of a man-boy who's left the girlfriend behind because the two had a bad argument. PJ, making Jaime his instant buddy to compensate, invites Jaime to hang out with him by the pool ... and when Jaime's tiny Speedo gives away his "excitement" over playing around with PJ in the water, the heat is on as PJ debates taking a walk on the wild side with his hot new playmate ...

A little bondage and a bit of a foot fetish only add to the fun, and this was one story I was more than "excited" to write myself - mainly because it's based on someone I once knew who could always pitch a tent in my Speedos. Stay tuned for the 4-1-1 on cover art and release date, and I hope you'll join the boys in the pool when the story's released!

SOLD!

When Michael over at Shadowfire Press (www.shadowfirepress.com) said he had one slot left open for a Halloween story, I jumped at the chance to try mixing erotica and horror ... somehow. I've always loved horror films, since childhood, and when I started the story I had no idea it would turn out to be not only sexually overheated ... but ultimately also a romance about what happens when you are able to free your heart and mind at last.

"A Wet Dream on Elm Street" starts off with ex-high school football jock Tony - an Italian stallion of twenty-eight, married since just after high school to former cheerleader Tracy, his high school sweetheart. Tracy's out of town, visiting a friend in Seattle, and it's a few days before Halloween ... but Tony's going light on the celebrating, content with passing out candy and having his best buddy since the fourth grade - Scott - come over for a beer and pizza party, complete with a stack of Scott's bootlegged horror DVDs ... in particular any featuring Tony's favorite villain, Freddy Krueger (note the photos; you don't see FREDDY ho-ing around like those other knife-wielding bitches!).

Tony, already bored with the wife away, borrows some horror films Scott early - but when he puts one of the plain, unmarked bootlegs in and discovers his best friend of nearly twenty years has an entirely different kind of film collection in his apartment, it's all Tony can do to hide his anger ... his pain ... his feelings of betrayal ... and some very other, definable feelings he'd rather not admit he has.

Shadowfire Press has taken the story, for which I am thrilled (Tony and company ended up meaning a LOT to me; a tale much closer to the heart than I'd ever imagined), with a release date of October 16th. Please check back here for more info, or how to order. It was a challenge, my first Halloween tale, but I never try to stray from challenges with my writing, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

ALEJANDRO CHABAN: Baby-Daddy #223

Seriously, with photos like these do you need ME to tell you why?

E. LYNN HARRIS: 1955-2009

One of my biggest inspirations as a writer of gay fiction - erotica or otherwise - was E. Lynn Harris ... so it was with real sadness and heartache that I read, this morning, of his passing away at the age of 54.

While I sometimes wasn't the biggest fan of his writing style, Harris - to me - was a natural storyteller, creating characters and storylines that, as his novels went on, I only got more and more involved with. He brought to light the way bisexuality and homosexuality is dealt with - or, more to the point, NOT dealt with - by men in the black community ... but his novels, at their core, dealt with characters that ranged from the heartfelt and humane to the downright dramatic, also dealing with (in many cases) real-life situations that people cope with in their lives every day.

He was often harshly criticized for his writing abilities, something that stung him very much as an artist - but whatever you thought of his work, there's no doubt that Harris was also a wonderful human being, often giving back to his fans and always taking the time to encourage anyone from novice writers to African-American men on the down-low who sought his advice and encouragement. In other words, no matter who you talk to who knew or met the man, they would tell you E. Lynn Harris, at heart, was a gentle, kind and loving human being who made the time for everyone.

I never had the privilege of meeting him, but we did swap a couple of emails about a year back - something I'll always be grateful for, along with all the thanks I owe him for the years of inspiring me to write ... and to write about themes and issues that others might find "offensive" or controversial. It's really sad to learn he's gone, at the young age of 54 especially - but if a good heart is what sends you to heaven, E. Lynn's doing okay.

PORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN cover art/release date!

November 2 is the release date for my second story with eXcessica Publishing. "Porn-Again Christian" is a short-short featuring a sexual storyline that is a bit kinkier than I normally use; two cute college students - one Caucasian, one East Asian - blackmail a hunky straight Hispanic teacher into a scorching three-way when they learn something "naughty" about his past. It's pretty hot stuff, I think, and definitely speaks for my racier, more sexually-agressive side, for sure ...

Best yet, as a short-short it's all yours for the "indecent" price of just $.99! You can read an excerpt, designed to tease and tantalize, at www.excessica.com/index.php/books/porn-again-christian-by-kris-klein/, where you can also order the title. The cover art, shown here, gives you an idea of the "uncooperative" sex forthcoming in the story ... but let's face it, coercing a straight (even married) guy into gay sex is the fantasy of many a gay male, period; can I help it if, sometimes, I stray from the romantic ending to depict some good hardcore hi-jinks?

Either way, I hope you will enjoy it when released (and will post a reminder, here, when it gets closer to the date); as it's coming out in November, it seems like the perfect antidote for when those warmer fall nights turn a bit chilly, the on-set of winter in the air ...

MARIO LOPEZ: Baby-Daddy #4

Juicy is about the best word to describe one of the few men I'd crawl through barbed wire - covered in salt - to get to. Since a one-shot guest role when he was a kid on "The Golden Girls" and his breakout role as Slater in "Saved by the Bell," Lopez has managed to work fairly steadily for close to twenty years in film, television, and even on Broadway - causing swooning females and many a wet dream for your average gay men nearly the entire time (especially after his critically-acclaimed performance as Greg Louganis in a TV biopic).

Kudos to whatever deal he's struck with the devil, 'cause Mario only gets hotter and hotter and hotter as he gets older. Precious producers, directors and photographers have, over the years, found any and every excuse to get Mario as naked as possible - God bless them - but even though Mario says he's done with removing the shirt on-camera (a dark day in history, when he declared that) ... there's still that face that anyone in their right mind would sell their soul to wake up to every morning.

Rumors of his bisexuality (at 35, while he's dated women, he's never been married) have been around nearly as long as he has - and with Mario's dimples, virtually-pretty face, flawless physique, ass you could eat off (or out) of, and childlike (almost too "gentle") voice, it's a fantasy worth exploring. The bonus is that he also seems to be one hell of a nice guy; everyone who speaks about Mario has nothing but great things to say about him, and in every interview or chat show he comes off as confident, charming, humble - the perfect man.

So much perfection on one guy should be illegal - but what a way to break the law. Mario, I'd be the beast to your beauty, any day ('cause after all, who WOULDN'T look like a beast, standing next to this??).

SOLD! (x2)

Sorry to be late in posting this, with the release dates already listed in an earlier post and all, but it's been kind of hectic; the writing bug is biting huge, and ya gotta take advantage of it while it's red-hot.

The kindness of Selena and eXcessica Publishing (www.excessica.com) has been extended again, with two more stories accepted by the epublishing house. Both are a bit different for me - one via title, the other subject matter - but nonetheless, they're also stories I really enjoyed writing (maybe a little too much, in the case of the first one) ... and I hope you'll enjoy them, when released, as well:

"The Brothers Dim" begins with Mark, a 33-year-old with a chip on his shoulder. Mark's tired of online dating and dealing with gay men and their drama - so to get laid, he comes up with a devious plan, via a posting on online giant Craigslist, that he hopes will score him some really hot straight/married men to bed. The ad gets a ton of replies instantaneously - two of the first, and the best, coming via a cute, blue-collar 21-year-old skateboarder type named Kyle ... and the shaggy-haired 19-year-old Chuck who has the face of an angel. Mark thinks he's been smart, setting the guys up with enough room between each other so they don't cross paths - but when Kyle's late and Chuck rings Mark's doorbell minutes later, the best Mark can shoot for is a sexually bionic threesome ... little knowing that, quite by accident, he's gotten a pair of brothers to come over his house - neither guy knowing the other's going to be there.

"Everybody Fucks Raymond" sees temp worker Aaron Adams at a dream assignment; he's working for a huge accounting firm in Phoenix that openly seeks out and hires GLBT employees. Soon Aaron learns it's a double-edge sword, however, when he hears some of the bitchier queens at the company gossiping long and hard about the "office slut" (and one of the firm's head accountants), the hunky, model-handsome Raymond Aguilar. Sure the rumors are just that, Aaron works up the nerve to approach Raymond, wanting him to know what's being spread about him ... and finds himself not only smitten with the gorgeous, studly accountant - but also volunteering to show Raymond a new meaning to the phrase "office relations."

Both aren't available until February - "The Brothers Dim" releases February 1 2010, and "Everybody Fucks Raymond" on February 15 2010 - but if you get one or both, I hope you'll find them worth the wait. "Dim" may have a few shocks in store for some of you ... but hopefully ones that'll make you tingle down to your toes.

SOLD!

Michael at Shadowfire (www.shadowfirepress.com) is a great guy - and fast becoming a friend. I recently sent him another story, wondering if it might suit his tastes for publication (this one leaned more toward the romantic, as well as the sexual) ... and am glad to say I just received word that he's taking my office-set tale or tail.

"Indian Giver" begins with a familiar theme - a guy who hates his job. Well, Gary - 28-year-old data entry specialist, medical transcriptionist, and office drone - doesn't so much hate his job ... he's just bored to tears with the constant drudge of data entry. When his boss (a great guy whom Gary respects a lot) asks him to work overtime on a Friday, to label and sort boxes in the records room in preparation of the office's move next week, Gary doesn't have the heart to say no. Fortunately, the boss has been able to secure some help for Gary, so the project won't take all night - in the form of 23-year-old paid intern Rajiv Patel, a breathtaking specimen of all that's beautiful in the East Asian Indian male. Can Gary keep his mind on his work? Are those furtive glances Raji is shifting his way, as well?
