Pretty Is As Pretty Does… Or What the Hell Am I? And Why?

On By Rhys FordIn Bloggy Stuff13 Comments

I don’t talk a lot about gender. Or gender identity.

Lots of reasons for that. Most of which are I haven’t quite dug down deep enough into my own id. And if I’m going to be stripped-down, nekkid honest, I always flounder about who or what I am.

I am not by nature an “aggressive in your face, accept me as I am” person. For some reason, a lot of people assume that means I’m a pushover. Asperger’s does make me flighty and distracted and sometimes laser focused on the wrong things so my mouth and brain don’t stop running at full tilt and I don’t see any social speed bumps. Coupled with a cultural inclination to keep a polite public face, I’m usually fighting between what I’d like to say and what’s proper and well, Asian-nice.

Apparently this has led some people to believe I’m a pushover. I’ve had someone tell me in an interview once that they didn’t think I could do the job because people would run me over.

As anyone who knows me probably for more than five minutes, you’d know they are wrong. Continue reading “Pretty Is As Pretty Does… Or What the Hell Am I? And Why?” →

BORKING REPORT! Monday’s Bork!

On By Rhys FordIn Borking Day
Today’s BORKING REPORT!
First off, it’s really hot and muggy here. Was a bit concerned about the rising temp but it was still cool enough for him to go out. The Blond Potato was in no mood to be denied.
 
Sure as heck, as soon as he saw his Auntie Jessica, it was a scolding bork for her to hurry up the walk so he could go! Not even a glance back.
 
Seriously.
 
He’s in his cool down and probably later, I’m going to have to give him a bath because I think someone put fish emulsion on their yard or something because he’s… hauna. That’s a good Hawaiian word for all of you to learn. Hauna (HOW-nah). It means stinky. He’s grubby and a bit… redolent.
 
Sighs.
 
From his Auntie Jessica:
 
We took a long shade break about half way through. I wanted to make sure Gus stayed cool on this hot day! We had a fun walk though!

Today was BORKING DAY for the Blond Potato!

Today was BORKING DAY!
 
The Blond Potato was MORE than ready to go today. And was very scoldy about the time his Aunt Jessica and I took to talk about where the waste bags were by the front door.
 
The garbage truck came by while he was on his walk but apparently that didn’t phase him…which is awesome because dudes, freaking loud and scary. But nope, he shrugged it off apparently. So a woot-happy day for the Borker.
 
Right now he’s doing his cooldown walk around the house. And came for scritches. Then rolled around because the AC is on, the house is cool and he’s snorfled in the water dish.
 
From his Aunt Jessica:
Gus was so excited this morning! So much energy! He barked a bit at some people but was pretty good. I hope he stays cool inside.
 
Best, Jessica

Announcing the Bad, Dad and Dangerous Anthology! And it includes a Wayward Wolf Story!

On By Rhys FordIn Rhys Ford
COVER AND URL REVEAL!
When the kids are away, these monsters WILL play. In Bad, Dad, & Dangerous, Bru Baker, Jenn Moffatt, TA Moore and I introduce you to the world of Monster Dads. Heartbreakingly hot men with dark(ish) sides and soft hearts.
Bad, Dad, and Dangerous
Bru Baker, Jenn Moffatt, TA Moore, and Rhys Ford

When the kids are away, the monsters will play.

School’s out for summer, and these dads are ready to ship their kids off to camp. Not just because their kids are monsters—whose aren’t?—but because they’re ready for some alone time to let their hair down and their fangs out. You see, not only are the kids monsters—their dads are too.

Even the most dangerous of creatures has a soft spot. These bad, dangerous dads love their kids to death, but they need romance.

Every year, for a few short weeks, these hot men with a little extra in their blood get to be who they truly are. And this year, life has a surprise for them. Whether they be mage, shifter, vampire, or changeling, these heartbreakingly handsome dads might be looking to tear up the town… but they’ll end up falling in love. All it takes is the right man to bring them to their knees.

Wolf at First Sight
AND I got to return to the Wayward Wolves universe with Wolf at First Sight!
 
In Wolf At First Sight… where we meet Gibson’s cousin, Levi Keller and Detective Joe Zanetti, the man he falls for while trying to keep rival supernatural factions from erupting into an all out war…
 
SFPD Lieutenant Joseph Zanetti has spent years protecting his city, and from the looks of St. Connal’s Pub and its bad-boy owner, Levi Keller, the place is a hotspot for trouble and violence. Joe’s problem? Levi is delectably hot, with secrets Joe can’t wait to dig into.
 
As a Peacekeeper for paranormals, wolf shifter Levi doesn’t need the complication of a hot cop sniffing around his pub when he’s just sent his teen son off to summer camp. He’s busy brokering a peace agreement between two warring factions.
 
When Joe stumbles into Levi’s world, both plunge into a situation neither one of them was ready for—falling in love.
