Book Blurb

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!

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 selling something, advertising is half the battle. That can become hazardous when you're in the company of an irreverent walking billboard.

Book Review

I had so much fun reading volume one that I've practically been holding my breath for the next episode in Doc and Dirk's world. I couldn't wait to read more hilarity and to see the blossoming friendship between these two men continue to unfold. I was hoping to see more of Dirk's mom because she's hilarious and watching her and Dirk verbally sparring is way better than anything you can find on TV.

Doc might just be in the running for sainthood while dealing with Dirk's absolute lack of a verbal filter and personal space. I think part of the reason their friendship and teacher/apprentice relationship works is because Doc also has ADHD and can understand some of the vagaries that are Dirk. The description of Doc having Thanksgiving at Dirk's with his mom and grandmama had me rolling I was laughing so hard. I could picture Dirk's grandmama in my head asking for wine in a really big glass after Dirk talked about the size of the barista's junk at his coffee shop.

Oh, I loved reading about how Dirk became Doc's muse. He's a brilliant young man with a very unique perspective on life. Thank you, Doc ,for more of the Dirkisms. You have to read these to know what I'm talking about. But, I would recommend not drinking anything while you do. Water hurts coming out of your nose. And, Dirk? I would've paid good money to have been at the diner that night. *laughingoutrageously*

I love these ficlets into the lives of two men I adore. The humor is addictive but, for me at least, it's the joy in knowing that Doc isn't so alone anymore and he has a beautiful muse to help him through any dark times that may come. As far as I am concerned these short stories are complete and total must-reads!
