Book Blurb

Dirk Tales, The Book includes previously released Misadventures of Doc & Dirk volumes, available now for the first time in paperback, an additional episode, and more!

He's a middle-aged, newly single, gay photographer starting life over. Along comes a freshly out nineteen-year-old, irreverent free spirit who wants to be his apprentice. Mismatched by more than a generation, what could possibly go wrong? Everything! And it's AWESOME!

Dirk's First Time: Every gay boy has his first experience. Usually it's a memorable, exciting personal time of discovery and intimacy between two young people. But two comic book characters? Is it horseplay or Cosplay?

The Boy At The Gym: First impressions can be deceiving. Sometimes that boy in the baggy clothes, talking to himself in the gym isn't as shy as he appears. Sometimes there's a deviant imp lurking beneath that freckled mask of innocence. Beware the Trojan Nerd!

A "Muse" ing: Most authors struggle with the voices or "muses" in their head when writing. Tuning that voice out becomes a little more challenging when your muse is a real-life nineteen-year-old who inhales espresso and turns out ideas at light speed. Danger Will Robinson!

Daddy and The Rent Boy: In sales, advertising is half the battle. That can become hazardous when you're in the company of an irreverent walking billboard.

Sex Dolls and Bad Dates: We’ve all had one of those dates where we think we've bitten off more than we can chew. The trick to know is Bite or Flight?

Dirk's Quirks: Everyone has idiosyncrasies; that's what makes us interesting. If you're lucky, you get a heaping helping and can share them with everyone.

Make it Naked: Teaching a nineteen-year-old walking hormone photography apprentice to shoot nudes is more than an adventure... It's a human obstacle course.

Book Review

Considering the fact that I've read the first three shorts in 'The Misadventures of Doc and Dirk' one would think I wouldn't really be interested in a collection of them with a couple of new items. Are you FREAKING kidding me? This just means I have all of them in one handy dandy ebook and can read, and reread, to my little heart’s content.

"That was when I realized our friendship and his apprenticeship had graduated into something else... he’d become my muse. A living, breathing, never-ending pest that prodded me forward where I normally procrastinated."

I've said this before and I will say it again. As wonderfully funny as these stories are, the attraction for me is the friendship that grows so strongly between Doc and Dirk. It gives me hope that even when I think my life, as I knew it, is over, there's always something new on the horizon. Of course, I also want to steal Dirk away from Doc because I'm fairly certain I need him around, even if it's just for one day.

I can absolutely guarantee that rereading about Dirk's first time, or his Dirkisms, or his Daddy and Rent Boy, never grows old. Dirk will turn forty years old and I'll still be rereading his misadventures. There's always a lesson to be learned in them and I have to admit, if I were a young gay man, I'd be trying to find this guy. There's just something about Dirk. In fact, I'm crazy about both the mentor and his muse.

I honestly hope these stories never end! They are wonderful, hilarious, and joyous!
